WHY ARE WE SEEING SO MANY MORE RUDE CRUISERS

WHY ARE WE SEEING SO MANY MORE RUDE CRUISERS?
Something seems to have happen since the cruising restart after the shutdown. It seems I'm running into more and more rude cruisers who just don't care about others or want to tell you their feelings even if you were not talking to them.

It’s not cruise passengers, it’s people in general 😵‍💫

People have become so self entitled. Last few generations no discipline in schools. No discipline at home. Ridiculous.

That woman really made an impression on you. Please don’t let her keep living rent free in your head. She’s not worth it.

People in general everywhere are getting worse, not just on cruise ships. Young, old doesn’t matter. Really have to pack your patience when traveling at all.

I noticed everybody has been more rude since the covid :(

[lauraandrews]

When somebody is obnoxiously rude, just turn around, give them a huge smile and in your most polite voice tell them to f right off.

Unfortunately manners and kindness, oh and being helpful instead of being critical seems to be a thing of the past😢

[johnstoutley]

The whole world is getting ruder. There's so much anger in the world at the moment. So sad to see.

[Girasole]

People everywhere have just lost common decency, manners and patience. I try my best to just ignore them.

People are becoming more and more entitled, to meet their means. I’m very patient and at times I will say, Life skills of Patience is a virtue.
My husband can be impatient at times. So I tend to keep him grounded. He had a major seizure a couple years back. His personality changed. But I keep him check. We love cruising and meeting people.😊

My mom always said "If you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all!"

Unfortunately it’s not just cruisers, it’s society in general. It seems during lockdown we turned feral and forgot how to act like descent human beings. Problem is people seem to enjoy being rude and down right mean. I’m not sure we will ever be able to go back.

I think people in general have gotten more unfriendly, not just on cruise ships but also on transit, at work and everywhere in general. People seem to have this sense of entitlement. But part of the problem on the cruise ships is that they are too crowded. It's starting to not feel like a relaxing vacation when you can't find a chair to sit by the pool, or you have to be in a huge lineup for everything and you are made to feel like cattle.

For sure and the New Cruisers seem EVEN WORSE. !!!!
As They are OWED more ...

[RalphJHusky]

Seems to me people really changed after Covid, when we went back to cruising, we regretted it, ha e one more booked, not holding my breath anymore. So thankful we have great memories

[Bespokelasers]

I think there is a different class of people cruising now. Plus people just don’t have the proper training in manners and personal behavior. I know in my experience, most cruise lines do not have the same level of staffing as before and my expectations refuse to accept poof performance or poor attitudes.

[margiecarson]

Dearest Don, this is the age of entitlement! Drives me crazy that there are so many people were apparently not raised with manners or decided, as they came of age, that manners don’t apply to them. Makes me sad.

Society has changed. In the 1960's, Dr Spock wrote the book saying: "Let the child do whatever he wants." Generations have now grown up doing whatever they want, with little accountability. People don't care. They only care about themselves. Ruining experiences for others does not matter to them. Rudeness is a reflection of society. It used to be "the Ugly American" in Europe.
Now they are everywhere ~ esp. cruises. One can either cruise and put up with them ~ or not cruise. I have chosen the latter. Best to You ~.

I forgot about that bus incident. Lol. So grumpy.
