Just a hint--if you set the timer on your phone for the amount of time you have in the port, it removes some of the worry about ship time vs. island time. Also, simply plan to be back 75 minutes before "all aboard" time. If you messed up the times, you are still 15 minutes early.

Let's use the correct wording...the ship didn't leave them behind..THEY WERE LATE!

[SayKyleNotCow]

Pro tip: If you always make sure you’re on the ship in time to order a drink and watch pier runners you’ll never have to worry about missing the ship.

My wife and I had the displeasure of multiple annoying interactions with a couple in the cabin next to us. Noisy, profane, rude behavior on the balcony. It got worse when we asked them to moderate their behavior.
We were overjoyed to witness them running for the ship as it was already pulling away. To my surprise the ship stopped, turned around and got them.

Just kidding. The rest of our cruise was peaceful.

The kids who were on the ship that left their parents behind were fine. There were other family members on the ship that took care of the children. If you saw the whole video, it was the wife's fault. The wife hadn't returned and the husband got off the ship to look for her and they ended up both being left behind.

As someone who's had to deal with the entitlement of the chronically-late (and has even gotten in trouble for calling them out in the past), these pier-runner videos are SO cathartic.

[marieleelee]

Pier runner videos are some of my favorite videos online. As someone who has worked customer service for a long time, it’s so cathartic to see people have to deal with the consequences of their actions.

[tjr-tt]

The entitlement of some of these people to expect the ship to wait or even turn back towards the pier for them smh

[tarnishedknight]

My wife and I took a cruise every year, in November. We made it a point to be back in time to grab a quick snack and head to the best place to watch the "Pier Runners".
This was one of the better parts of the cruise.

The greatest pier dash I ever saw, was in 2012 a couple where the husband was jogging to the ship and a brisk pace group walked past the wife and right up to the gate and made it in time. The husband then stood waiting while the wife took a very obviously slow waddle down the pier screaming expletive's at her husband for fat shamming her and yelling at the crew "don't you dare". Well we watched the crew offer the husband on or off and then abruptly closed the gate. When the Captain was making his rounds, people ask him and he responded with "Passive aggressive behavior and threats towards crew members is not tolerated, her being late to the pier was the second reason she was left behind. I heard her from the top deck and made the call"
2 nights later we ran into the husband and got him sloshed, man was oppressed by that woman for 20 years.

In most cases, entitlement. It's a cruise ship with thousands of other passengers, not your spouse impatiently waiting in the car.

[ernietetrault]

As if it wasn't embarrassing enough to realize you missed the boat, imagine a shipload of passengers pointing and laughing!

[tigergreg]

If I was a Captain, and you were late, and walking, not running, I'd pull away immediately

[AnnMarie]

I was one of those late returns. I thought I had plenty of time to walk back. When I arrived, the ship was down to one open door. I did make it to great cheers from my fellow passengers. I was never late again.

[jimtalor]

" Stop..stop....I was haggling at this street vendor around the corner"😂 There are folks who have no sense of time management to the point they would be late for their own funeral!

[HopelessWanderer]

I have been on many cruises. The ships' PA, paperwork, phone app, and various workers tell everyone multiple times what time you need to be on the ship and the time it currently is when exiting the ship. People who do not pay attention or just assume that the ship will wait are 100% responsible for their actions. If you're on a ship sponsored excursion and there is an incident that ship will wait. It's always safer to do a ship sponsored excursion.

[NFNJP]

No cruise ship has ever left anyone.
The passenger choose not to cruise with the ship by not returning in time.

[Valkyrie]

If you arent early then you are late. And if you are late you are screwed.

Most of us learned to tell time in kindergarten. Its a handy skill to retain.

Back in 2008, I saw a situation at Skagway, Alaska, where the cruise ship at the pier next to ours actually left an hour before it was supposed to, and left over 30 people standing on the pier looking at the empty slip where their ship was supposed to be. The US Coast Guard was alerted and forced the ship to come back and pick up their stranded passengers. The ship in question probably carried only 400 or so passengers, far fewer than our ship's 1200. Most, if not all, of the stranded passengers had signed up through the cruise line for excursions which were due back well before the scheduled sailing time--the ship sailed without checking whether or not everyone was back aboard.

I hate being late for anything. I’d be back on the ship hours before departure time. I can’t stand people who expect everyone else to wait for them.
