I can't stand the people who take pictures or videos with there Ipad. I've walked around the ship late at night or early in the morning and used it, but no one was around. Iphone and Ipod much better.
Also can't stand the parents who think there kids should be up front for everything and show up right at the start of something. I'm all for letting kids up front, but when your too the side and making sure your not blocking people too much then someone else comes along and stands in front of you and puts the kid on their shoulders
, true it happened and the funny part in there was more space else where, so I moved to see, yeah I'm short
This happened to us heaps at WDW with people and their kids, I know we are adults but we love seeing the characters and watching the parades, shows and deck parties. I get so annoyed when parents push in front with their kids and then put their kids on their shoulders :/ Im sorry but we sometimes wait in our spot for up to 45 minutes and parents think it is alright if their kids can see... I mean if they ask or we see kids behind us we always let the parents know the kids can stand in front of us to see.
I'm actually surprised no one else has said this. I do not frequent Quiet Cove all that much, but kids should really respect the boundaries. Even when our stateroom was forward, we had our kids always go down to mid-ship before going up to the pool deck.
Also, has common courtesy just gone out the back door? Please, Thank you, etc....show appreciation to the CM's, they work so hard and they are always polite.
There were quiet a few rude kids on our cruise, who would rush in front of everyone and not say excuse me, it was really annoying particularly when parents were with them. Why aren't kids being taught manners these days?
We used quiet cove every night after the evening shows and dinner, we found kids would walk through from the forward elevators to the drink machine and ice cream machines. It didn't worry us most of the time, as they were quiet and literally walked straight through. Though one group kept running up and down the stairs and I nicely reminded them it was an adult only area.
People leaving trash everywhere/ making an unnecessary mess.
Adults who forget they are parents when they go on a cruise.
Chair hogs on the pool deck.
People who wear sweats/ pajama type wear to dinner.
Adults who push their children to the front of character lines.
Children on adults shoulders during deck parties.
People who run through the hallways at night or talk loudly in hallways at night.
We found during our 4 night cruise on the Dream most people we generally great with tidying up after themselves, our only issue was on Pirate night after the buffet, people just left their plates and other bits and pieces everyone on deck :/
Parents need to find a balance, I know its their holiday too, but they really need to be able to help take care of their children and not let them run rampant around the ship. We found most kids great, but I understand some parents would just go into a complete holiday mode and not worry about anything, they need to be more considerate of other guests.
We cruised for the first time last October, and I was sad to see DCL change their policy about shorts in the dining rooms. I thought people might out in some more effort during meal times, we saw so many people in just shorts and so many casual attires. We dressed up every night, not formal or anything, just nice pants/skirts and dresses.
I know it is magical for kids to meet the characters and I might be an adult, but I still love meeting the characters and I always get exciting meeting the princesses as well. Im sorry but if Im waiting in line for an hour to meet the Princesses or the fab 5 on board, please don't push in and tell its for your children. You should have gotten in line earlier if you wanted them to meet your children and couldn't wait.
This is my number one pet peeve when adults place kids on their shoulders, i know its a small place, but Im short and I would like to see the show as well, otherwise I wouldn't be there for the show. I got stuck so many times in WDW with issue.
People who show up ridiculously late for the drill as well.
We had this as well, it was so frustrating CMs took 5-10 minutes calling out for families before they would start, and we were all rushing the sailing away party!! You know you have to be there so please just get there on time so everyone can leave ASAP!
The elevator rush. When you've been standing there waiting for an elevator with enough room for you and your child (who sometimes has to be in a stroller, and does not have the mobility to do all those stairs) and every single time an elevator comes, people run out of nowhere and fill it up. We have literally waited 15 min for an elevator before :-/
OMG this was insane!! We always waited so long for the elevators, cause during our cruise I had a sore ankle, I had actually strained all the ligaments in my left ankle about 4 weeks before our trip, so I had to use the lifts when I could. So many people tried telling me off and saying I was lazy, cause I was young and could use the stairs!n the end I gave up and just waited when people wanted to push in. It worked well cause one time we got out of the elevator and Tiana was getting out of the opposite elevator as we were getting out, It was such a great meeting!
People who talk during the shows. Some try to whisper, some not. It doesn't matter, we can still hear your voice, and it is very disruptive. The bottom line is this: If you open your mouth WE CAN HEAR YOU.
And, don't show up AFTER the show has started and start looking for seats. Sit your butt down in the back row. When you come in, stand around and try to look for seats, you are in our way and disturbing everyone. You should have arrived well before the show began to look for the perfect seat LIKE MY FAMILY JUST DID!!
Soooo rude to show up late, it drives me absolutely nuts!
We had a group ask us to move down for a family of 5-8 people, 15 minutes into the show! Im sorry but please sit at the back of the theatre. I wish Disney would have a lock our period and have a certain section of the theatre for these groups!
DCL shooting a commercial during our 3 night cruise. The commercial closed down the adullt pool for 3 hours, blocked other areas during the day and had a helicopter circling the ship loudly as we sailed away from Castaway Cay. It may not be a common pet peeve, but after dealing with many of the pet peeves people mention here and not really letting them bother me the commerical interupting our special 50th birthday, just the two of us, vacation on a full price, 3 day cruise, really bothered us.
OMG are you serious? I would have been so annoyed! You should have been told about these events before the sailing, They would have known what was happening weeks before you set sail!
