Imagine this: Your cruise ship is about to leave, but your family is still on the island, running late. Would you leave them behind? One person did exactly that, and now they’re asking the internet whether they were right or wrong.
They explained the whole story
Turned to the internet for advice, and people were mostly on their side
- Your parents are acting entitled. Tell them you saved them the expense of a third ticket to the next port.
- They seriously think the ship will be delayed for 45 minutes. The docks and ship have a schedule to keep. They are adults and need to be responsible for getting back on time. Which is something you have figured out in less than 6 months of being an adult. At least you don’t have to go on any more vacations with them after this.
- Your parents are in the wrong. I don’t do cruises but I have some experience with them because I travel to a place where cruise ships are common. I also thought passengers were warned that the ship leaves no matter who is on board. You would never have been able to prevent the cruise ship from leaving. They have a schedule and they keep to it. The ship waits for no one. This is ALL on your parents. They didn’t respect the ship schedule.
