There are few things that can turn a whole day around as that feeling of relief. You can be having the shittiest day of all time and then that relief kicks in and all of a sudden your shitty day is a great day because of all the bad things that could've happened, THAT didn't happen.
Been on a cruise once, apparently it's common to watch from the deck as the ship gets close to departure time and watch for people who are cutting it close, or late, to return to the ship (they're called pier runners).
It's a whole thing and people love watching and cheering others on (or watching others' misery when they miss the boat).
Or to the next port. There are precious few ports in the world cruise ships will not leave people on unless there is an emergency (incoming hurricane, etc.), but the vast majority of ports have a strict all-aboard and they will leave you there. You can get to the next port and get back on but the ship will not fly you there and you need to get your stuff. The only help they will provide is sending passport info if you need help traveling to another country to meet the ship.
I bet on small close islands there are guys just waiting for people to miss so they can offer them a boat ride to the next port for waaaaay too much money.
Friend of mine worked on a cruise ship and the Trumpet player loved his booze. He got too drunk to play and they found him sleeping in his cabin bathroom so they fired him and left him at the port they were at
Can confirm. I lived in Kona, Hawaii for a couple years and sometimes we’d go out for drinks on cruise ship day downtown and often saw people running to catch their ship. I personally always rooted for them to catch it…they’re just trying to make the most of vacay. The boat does not wait…if you hear the horn, start running lol.
Unless you’re on an excursion organised through the ship. They are more expensive obviously but the main appeal is knowing the ship isn’t leaving without you.
That varies! I worked for an excursion company for cruise ships in Alaska (whale watching/hiking) and they for sure didn’t wait for the guests who came onto our tours. If an emergency occurred (broken down bus, issue with the whale watching boat, a guest wanders off making everyone else late, etc.) and they would not stay for them. An employee would have to go down to the dock personally and beg them not to leave. Happened a few times.
Mostly they make you figure something out yourself. If you buy a fight to the next port the ship will let you on, but when they pull up the gangplank you are on your own.
If it’s a foreign cruise liner, it’s illegal for them to let you in at another US port. We’re almost missed a cruise once and would have had to get on in Canada.
Ya that makes sense. They do though have a small navy of motorboats that get deployed out the back for all kinds of logistical needs, I know that for sure
If the next port is in the USA and that’s a foreign cruise line, he’s hosed. They won’t let you on at any domestic port other than the one where the cruise started.
So, I joined a friend on her work cruise trip and of 13 people, we were the only ones that made it back to the boat on time due to the time zone change which people didn’t account for.
Security went into the rooms of those passengers, opened the safes and dropped their passports in a. Bag over the side of the ship to an employee on the dock.
This enabled them to at least book a flight back to Florida, where they had to wait for two days while we had a day at sea. They flew down to St.Thomas and joined back up on the trip then.
What? If there was enough time to go into ask those people’s safes and throw the passports to the dock then surely there was time to let the people board instead??? I don’t get it
Nope, the dock fees are by the minute and they don’t give a shit about 11 passengers
There’s a much longer story involved here, where we smuggled booze onto the boat as well, but we only figured out they didn’t make the boat when we went to the restaurant where we all ate together every night, and we waited an hour for everyone to show up. Went to the concierge in the main lounge and asked if anybody didn’t make it. Yup, all of the others in our group didn’t make it.
He's running because when a ship pulls up it's gang plank it does a long horn blow, demonstrated on day 1 in orientation. They tell every passenger in orientation that when the gangplank comes up and the horn blows, they will NOT open the door if you are even one second late (usually not entirely true). It is not at all uncommon in a port with multiple/many ships to see people running when they hear the horn blowing. So common, in fact, that there are probably people filming the dock because it's vacation and people have a camera nearby. Cruises aare popular because they are predictable.
No, because he wasn't on the ship, he's close enough to dry land, and the harbor police or other harbor boats would be much faster to respond. And if he dove off, assuming someone on the ship see's you and would scream "man overboard" is a big assumption.
The ship will not wait, it costs money to be in port. But I wonder if it was a prank, telling him his ship is leaving, when you know it's the other one?
This is old. From what I recall, no he did not miss the ship. His buddies pranked him and told him another leaving ship was his while recording his run. There another video from the ground from the coordinated prank.
Oh well unfortunate once they remove the gangway that's it you've officially missed ships movement or departure gotta respect the hips rules or pay consequences
Imagine the relief he must have felt though

100% unfiltered dopamine
like waking up from a nightmare
It was a prank. He knew his ship was still docked but saw an opportunity for a funny joke. Note the Showman's Bow he performed at the end.

But yeah the boat does NOT wait for you
What do they do if they miss the boat at some random island?
Shit outta luck. Figure out your own way home

Catch a flight home or the next ship docking location

I like how he waves as if it's going to come back for him
Like a bus that brakes for you Ayer leaving the stop
I think they have small motorboats they use for all kinds of incidents like this.
Mostly they make you figure something out yourself. If you buy a fight to the next port the ship will let you on, but when they pull up the gangplank you are on your own.

You sure about that?
Nope. You miss it, you miss it. He would have to make his own way to the next port if possible.
But in this case, he's fine it wasn't even his ship
If the next port is in the USA and that’s a foreign cruise line, he’s hosed. They won’t let you on at any domestic port other than the one where the cruise started.
Omg really? That wasn’t even his ship? Hilarious
Maybe watch the full vid my friend
The motorboats are only used for emergencies such as someone falling overboard or when abandoning ship, this is not something they would deploy it for
What if you fake falling over board?
My understanding is that they use them to shuttle whenever there’s shallow water conditions too?
during the time that the ship is "docked" sure, but not when its already leaving
Lol! No.
I mean, people film from the deck of cruise ships all the time.
They actually do, i worked cruise ships for a couple of years.
Amazing how many people just stand on deck filming nothing
Plus he was running… of course it drew attention.
its impossible to film nothing
It's really not, think about how much empty space fills our universe, or when politicians are talking
challenge accepted
Oh yeah, try filming the alleged John Cena
Unless you're a Buddhist monk photographer.
Especially if it's just about to cast off
You ever experience family home videos? There’s always tons of footage of the most mundane shit
the original tiktok said it was a skit
Maybe they were filming because it was a boring moment on vacation waiting to depart and a manic man is sprinting down the dock in a hurry?
I guess but the narration seems way too animated to be real. And the pantomiming of the two guys pointing at the ship too
Life looks fake when you go outside most of the time.
It's such bad acting, I can't believe people don't hear/see it. Like you say it's too animated, on the nose.

Why were they filming? Because his mates were playing a prank on him and said that their ship was leaving.

Thilly gooth
LMAO. I heard it in Mike Tyson’s voice 😂. Was that your reference as well?
How it feels to chew 5 gum
It he dived off the end of the pier would he now be a man overboard and they would be required to save him?
No, because he wasn't on the ship, he's close enough to dry land, and the harbor police or other harbor boats would be much faster to respond. And if he dove off, assuming someone on the ship see's you and would scream "man overboard" is a big assumption.
Isn't there enough rubbish in the sea as it is? But one more piece won't be noticed
You think they are required to save overboard folks? lol
I mean, they do...but I can't imagine it's a requirement. A lot of times people go overboard and they are just gone.
Because people miss ship departures all of the time and it’s hilarious to watch them meltdown.
Don't be late, ship don't wait ✌🏼
if a ship tht big has started moving unless ur the captain, why do you think it would stop for u?
The ship will not wait, it costs money to be in port. But I wonder if it was a prank, telling him his ship is leaving, when you know it's the other one?
There are two boats ported, the one leaving blew it's horn, he's running because he can't tell it's not his boat horn.
Walk of Shame 2.0
“You should know where your ship is” Pfft. Of course
... ... ... and then we see the video slowly move away from the pier as the ship starts to disembark.
This is a thing on cruise ships. People will film at call time because there are always people showing up late just like this.
Weird that ship Captain doesn't check the rearview.
I mean what were the alternatives? Not like they could've helped him get to the ship by not filming.
I just don't understand why you would be there super early
The real "that ship has sailed" Xd
This is old. From what I recall, no he did not miss the ship. His buddies pranked him and told him another leaving ship was his while recording his run. There another video from the ground from the coordinated prank.
I feel happy for him. We all won
It’s a good play
😂😂😂
His heart rate going from 0 to 100 right back down to 0 in like 2 minutes 😆. He'll be the most popular guy on that ship that's for sure.
Real cinema
horrid narration
Dufus!
I will be on Crown princess in 208 days
Quite the hoofer.
Did anyone else watch on mobile and think he wasn’t wearing pants?
Thats longggg
100% friends but good commitment to the bit nonetheless
I'm sure I've seen this before, only filmed from this guy's friends phone. They were having a right laugh!
Watching people board is definitely a thing you will do when you're on a cruise.
I have been on over 5 cruise ships and have yet to see this happen I'm sure it is a sight to see when it really happens
Oh well unfortunate once they remove the gangway that's it you've officially missed ships movement or departure gotta respect the hips rules or pay consequences
This would be more fitting in unexpected.
How do u not know the name of the ship ur on. The name of the departing ship is clearly visible.
Those were my Doordash wings being delivered!
Bet the dude recording was his friend and they staged this shit.
Tbf, saw a running person, started filming.
r/scriptedgifs
Who falls for this staged garbage?
It's such bad acting too. The guy filming is clearly in on it. You just hear it in his voice.
This is staged AF
I used to work on the Crown Princess
[deleted]
???
I think they want to fuck that guy, and other people who look like him.
Watch til the end...
