I use a real watch that doesn't care about the "mothership" on the internet.. hahaha. I set it to ship time before I get off and then I have a definitive time keeping device.. hahaha.. ok… I am a paranoid person about being late.. but I do get a kick out of the runners… "Run Forrest Run.. " hahaha
Your clock/watch changing is no excuse. As I learned in the military, the maximum effective range of an excuse is zero meters.
I never knew people heckled the pier runners. You never know what happened. Maybe someone shopped too long, maybe disaster struck. I think they should be cheered on to encourage them.
Take an analog watch
This happened to us for the same reason local time was an hour behind. Never thought it would happen and so glad we made it but don’t laugh and think it won’t happen to you.
That's why they should take an old-school timex watch to set to the ship time…
I am always on time for this reason!
Maybe I'm too positive (wow, I don't think I've ever been accused of that) but I would like to think that most people are like me and would just be giving the pier runners a "ribbing" (is that the best word). Like I don't think them being a little late is going to make us late to our next port of call.
Too much yakking, get to the point.
It would 100% the passenger's responsibility to be onboard minimum of 30 minutes before departure time. Any traveller with a modicum of intelligence would be wearing a watch set at ship's time. I guess if those pier runners had another brain cell, it would be lonely.
It’s not just passengers who do this. I worked as a dancer/showgirl on some cruise ships. Some of the other performers and ship staff members would go into town when docked, and got left behind after missing our departure.
They had to pay out of pocket/purse to either be flown or taken by boat to our next destination. Some of them missed their shifts/performances and were docked their pay, or even threatened with termination.
This is actually comedy except for the people left behind but I’m sorry I would have to partake
The Cruise App will always have ships time. Even if your phones time resets.
People line up two 2 hours before on the ship watch the runners. It’s a party 🎉🎉😂😂
Wow do these people yelling literally have nothing better to do? Lol. Imagine being stuck on a boat with people like this!
That is ONE. LONG. PIER!
Time changes are best dealt with by wearing a watch, those old-fashioned devices people used to wear mostly on their wrists. Verify you are on ship time at least three times before getting off the ship. No electronics involved.
If the ship is delayed, I would impose a fine on those showing up late. It would have to be large enough to cover the ships fine for overstaying their time limit.
This is all about you and not much about Pier Runners.
The best thing about cruising holidays is jeering the pier runners. In the last 12 years, my wife and I have done 19 trips, ranging from 10 days to 2.5 months. We really look forward to the port departures as it provides so much free entertainment.
It doesn't matter because everyone on the ship make sure you know what ship time is before you get off
There is no excuse me and my wife take 3 or 4 cruises a year and we know when the ship is leaving
You wait for the boat, the boat don't wait for you.
THE First Warning is to beware of the time!
More like showing yourself than the pier runners
The cruise company should put a reminder notification on the app that triggers an alarm one or two hours before departure time.
I don't buy the time excuse. Not when you take into account how many people made it back on time.
Wear a watch. People are lost without their phones.
Unfortunately the ship waited for those assholes.
Hilarious! I was on Carnival Breeze back in September and we had some pier runners in Cozumel too.
People can be so mean, that's my thoughts. We don't always know what the hold up was for someone.
I'm in the navy so I have no sympathy for those who are late, however we spent 3 days in Nassau last year next to the cruise ships and it was HILARIOUS watching these people run to their ships. The timing is the timing. If the ship runs on a different time, keep it on your phone (you can add different clocks on ANY phone), and show up on time. You dropped a couple grand for a cruise, act like it.
What these people have never been late before?? Amateurs
I can understand the mistakes made, however responsible adults do everything they can to make sure that they know what’s going on. ESPECIALLY when you’re traveling in a foreign country. Getting left behind is no joke. I’m can’t imagine anything scarier.
They should be left – no questions asked. I couldn’t care less what their reason is
You talk too much during your video, that much narrative is not needed.
Why wouldnt they always use the local time zone for the pier they are at??? This is the fault of the cruise ship for using the wrong time.
Being late back to the ship is more than just an inconvenience. The crew has to make up for the time spent waiting and burn more fuel to travel faster to make the next port on time.
The crowds on the ship remind me of the Roman coliseums. Let loose the lions & bears to the pier!!
You know what's so crazy about all of this the people that are already on the ship making fun of the people that missed there ship are going to be the same ones one day who are going to miss theirs. The tables turn my friends. This is why you never make fun of those who miss their ship. It could be you next time. NEVER JUDGE.
i almost became a pier runner once.the taxi driver took me to the wrong side of the harbour and i had to walk for 40 minutes with very little time left.very stressful.but thankfully i made it back just in time.

I've seen a whole busload of Pier runners. When ship sponsored excursions run into problems this can happen. While passengers shamed them (us) it was a ship sponsored excursions. The ship guarantees it will not leave. Ships should announce this.
Why not use a wristwatch to tell the time? When I go on vacation overseas, I leave my phone in the safe and use an inexpensive digital wristwatch to know the time. I don't want to lose or have my phone stolen when I'm overseas.
I hope you realize that videos like this are the exact reason that people yell like that…..to hear themselves on YouTube…..or because you make a big deal of it.
