I think that it happens everywhere you go, and just more noticeable on a cruise because you are with the same people in shall we say a bit more confined quarters. If I'm in NYC and someone pushes or shoves me, I probably would take no notice. I didn't let it get to me, we were just surpised, I guess. I also think that for every rude person there were more nice people who were not rude or nasty.

I have not given up on cruising, and I think these were just isolated instances and that similar stuff happened to others. I don't feel singled out, it's just life, and as I said, maybe these people were just having a bad day or feeling ill or whatever life thru at them and we didn't know it.

Thank you for that story about Lynsey and John. The were so nice. I didn't get to know John very well, but the little I did he was very nice, I got to know Lindsey a bit better especially in Sitka while we were waiting for the tender. Hubby had left already on the shore excurision form Radisson and she was in charge of giving out numbers for the tender and not many people leaving so we had a chance to talk about a tv show we both enjoy (a Brittish show), as she is a big fan as am I. She was just a wonderful graceful very classy lady. Her and John make such a beautiful couple as they are both so nice looking.

I want to thank you for sharing your stories of incidents, and I do believe they are isolated rather than the norm.
