At a minimum, I would have had that teen removed from the cruise. There should be consequences for that assault.

[andrealedet]

Sorry teen or NOT I'm pressing charges!! It starts at home!

[cruisinkoozies]

He should of put him in jail. This is why we have situations like this, nobody is punished anymore.

[kepckatherinec]

That dad is serving as a co-dependent to the attacking teen’s poor behavior. I would have picked option #1: have the kid arrested at the next port. He’s old enough to take responsibility for his own actions.

As for teen assault, Honestly the decision SHOUlD NOT be put on the victim. The cruise line should have policies in place and determine punishment based on policy and in this case putting the teen in the ships jail for a night till they get to a port where his parents pay to send him home is a good option and learning experience. If I were his mom he would be given bathroom duty for a year and made to pay the man’s doctor’s bills with a side job.

[KatherineHoward-ij]

Assault! He should be kicked off cruise and banned for life from that cruiseline. Serious actions warrant serious consequences!

[kathryncashner]

Not allowing kid to leave cabin without a parent is standard punishment on most cruise ships for moderate teen offenses....and if security spots teen out alone, the family is thrown off. I do think the follow up to this should be banning the teen till age 21 (18 isn't enough!). One would have to assume that the kid's actions were intentional since security was willing to put the family off the ship.

[MichelleStillman]

A- We have only traveled with NCL and have really enjoyed it.

[ForeverHisPs.]

The last story is a great picture of grace beginning extended to someone that didn’t deserve it. It seems the teen has anger issues that will potentially cause him trouble the rest of his life if not dealt with now. I pray that his parents recognize this.

[DB-zpun]

Thanks for clear, quick and concise news for us with no extra fluff... Fluff is fine sometimes, but prefer your no drama just news way.

[paulbrown]

Option B / probably option three, but having Police at the end of the cruise take a report - the kid has some serious issues which will only get worse

[rayvargas]

The little punk would have been locked up. Lesson learned . And if he did that on a cruise playing a game he cant control his anger . Needs some tough love

[CarynGussin]

We have sailed on Princess, Carnival, Celebrate, Royal Caribbean, & Paul Gaughan.

[joloiseivery]

Answer to question

1 cruise line.

We just started cruising in August 2023 and have 3 under our belt already. 4th one to Alaska booked for labor day weekend. So far, Carnival is all we have experienced. Looking forward to trying more ships.

[HappyDeliveryGuy]

Sorry but i would have had him kicked off at the next port of call. Maybe the parents will learn a lesson also about their kid.

[julieb]

It's nice the man didn't want to punish the parents, however, it would be good to ban the teen from further cruises until he can cruise unaccompanied by his parents.

[richardmartin]

Here's a good one. Today on my way from Royal Caribbean Oasis-of-the-seas to the city of Marseilles, France. There was a truck accident. A 20 minute drive, took almost 2 hours. When we arrived to meet our tour company for a 2 hour tour. He was so upset, he refused to take our group.

[Belindalongg]

C. I’ve cruised with 5 different lines. Just booked my 46th cruise!😊

[LegendaryOldwarrior]

I would choose option 2, but I am mean lol. Honestly though I would have tried to have a convo with the crew and his parents to setup a lie, and act like they where going to send him to jail the next day just to scare him a bit. Then come back later and say the dad changed his mind and you just can't leave without your parents. Nowadays some people just need that fear in their head. I wouldn't be upset either if the dad actually did choose first or second option. Teen is just lucky he ran into a really caring person.
