The most amusing complaints from cruise ship passengers revealed

Another was not impressed with the sand on the beach on an excursion. They said that the brochure had shown an image of it as yellow, but when they arrived they found it was white. 

An unhappy woman made her views known that topless sunbathers on the beach should be banned, as her husband had spent all holiday staring at other women.

And yet another was disappointed that the ship didn’t resemble the Titanic and they should have been warned beforehand.

One of the users posted his disgust at the language used around on board. 

‘The pool became an area where you would not want your family to be. Never been around people where the F-bomb was used as a noun, pronoun, verb and adjective, all in the same sentence,’ they wrote. 

A woman from Atlanta wrote: ‘When we dined after a shore excursion we witnessed an employee, literally lick his hand and handle food directly after and place condiments on the table outside for guests use.’

One man said: ‘I looked on Yelp and saw there were only three reviews for this ship most likely because the rest of the people who travelled on this ship probably jumped overboard and swam back to shore.’

One man was frustrated at not having a view of the sea and asked for a window to be installed, even though he had booked an inside cabin room.

A first-time passenger blamed the captain for not warning him that he could get seasick and requested a list of cruises that this would not occur on. 

A female passenger sent a request for a sound-proofed room because the noise of the Mediterranean kept her awake.

A husband complained that the staff did not decorate the cabin in white or scatter rose petals

And a husband who had booked a two-week honeymoon cruise complained that the staff did not decorate the cabin in white. 

In addition to this, he was disappointed at the lack of rose petals scattered each day, and the fact champagne and strawberries were not delivered via a private butler – despite not even putting in a request for any of this beforehand. 

Another man on a cruise to Alaska cruise wanted a refund as the weather was not as warm as he had expected.

And a woman on a Celebrity Cruises ship asked for a full refund last summer because she didn’t see any celebrities on board.

Rounding off the list was a couple from Yorkshire who moaned that staff were so kind it cost them too much money in tips and they wanted a refund. 

Steph Curtin, from bonvoyage.uk, said: ‘The vast majority of feedback we get from holidaymakers is hugely positive, telling us what a great time they had, but from time to time we come across a few quirky complaints that we can do little to help.

‘Whilst we make sure we go back to every complaint, I’m afraid we can’t be held responsible for the sea being too loud or the lack of celebrities!’
