Cruise ship crew issues warning to passengers attempting to do this - ‘we will find you'

Cruise ships: Expert offers tips on which cabin to stay in

Cruise ship holidays can sometimes be a once in a lifetime experience for some passengers. For others, they may amount to a regular, annual break, yet for both sets of travellers they present the epitome of luxury. Entertainment, dining and leisure is all on-tap as guests have a plethora of pampering opportunities they might not normally have. This, coupled with the excitement of holiday vibes, can make for an amazing vacation.

Some passengers may want to stay on for extra time, maybe even hoping bunking up in their cabin will see an extension to their vacation in the form of a free trip on the next cruise on the ship.

Yet a former Carnival Cruise Line employee has taken to Reddit to insist this is not the case.

They messaged in reply to a post which read: "Redditors who have tried to hide on your cruise when it ended so that you could stay on the ship for the next round, how did that go?”

The ex crew said: “I worked for Carnival. We will find you.

“We know you’re in the ship. And we all want you to get off so I can take a short nap before I have to do it all over again in a few hours.”

A second concurred and put: “Amen to this. I worked for a small cruise ship company (less than 100 pax) and I would die a little inside every time people weren’t packed the morning of departure and would slow everything down.

“Did they somehow forget that they needed to get off the boat that morning?”

A third posted: “Yes. We absolutely do.

“A lot of times, people are still debarking whenever early birds in VIP are embarking.

“Same day turnaround is the norm in the large liner industry.”
