Cruises to Curaçao allow you to enjoy many beautiful beaches, snorkel through the shipwreck of a 50-year-old tugboat, or marvel at the striking sea cliffs of Boka Tabla.

Teen on vacation ditches ‘pissed’ parents on caribbean island to make cruise on time.

Thanks for contacting us. We've received your submission.
This teen is sunk.
A recent high school graduate ditched his tardy parents on a Caribbean island so he could make it back to their cruise ship before it departed.
Taking to Reddit this week with their written soliloquy, user ProfessionalTax7753 shared that the family decided to take a trip to sea in celebration of their teen’s 18th birthday and high school graduation.
![cruise to caribbean from florida Family drama ensued when a teen ditcher their parents to make a cruise ship on time.](https://nypost.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/06/AdobeStock_262608218.jpg?w=1024)
Typically the family would go to all-expense-paid resorts, but the recent grad wanted a change of pace.
“I have always wanted to go on a cruise,” they wrote of the week-long trip. “I told my parents it was different and that if we went on excursions we had to follow the schedule no matter what.”
![cruise to caribbean from florida A teenager raced back to catch a cruise ship and left their family behind.](https://nypost.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/06/AdobeStock_271287555.jpg?w=1024)
Such instructions for mom and dad were not followed.
“They would not head back to the ship when I said it was time to go. They were busy shopping and bargaining with the locals,” they added.
“I finally said that I was heading back to the ship. My mom waved me off.”
Surely enough, the Reddit user’s folks missed the ship by close to an hour and reamed out their teen for not getting the cruise to wait for them.
“I wanted to scream that they were not going to inconvenience 3,998 people because two could not understand what a schedule was.”
“They ended up having to fly to the next port from there and it was expensive. They are pissed at me for leaving them behind.”
And, now, what started as a thoughtful, nautical gesture has made waves within the family.
Comment by u/ProfessionalTax7753 from discussion in AmItheAsshole
![cruise to caribbean from florida The family had to pay a great deal to get back after missing the ship.](https://nypost.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/06/AdobeStock_69472719.jpg?w=1024)
“I don’t know what I was supposed to do. They literally told me that they knew what they were doing,” they wrote.
“I wish I had never asked for this. They are making me miserable because I left without them.”

A passenger has died after jumping overboard from the world ’s largest cruise ship after it set sail from Florida .
The male passenger, who has not been identified, reportedly jumped, according to the New York Post , from the 20-deck high Icon of the Seas after it left a Florida port on Sunday to embark on a seven-day cruise around the Caribbean , first stopping in Honduras.
The Coast Guard , who said they did not have much involvement in the incident beyond assisting in the search for the man, told the New York Post that “the cruise ship deployed one of their rescue boats, located the man, and brought him back aboard”.
The man has since been “pronounced deceased,” the Coast Guard added.

The world’s largest cruise experience was approximately 300 miles away from PortMiami, and around 30 to 40 miles north of Santa Lucia, Cuba, at the time of the incident, which occurred in the morning, according to Cruise Hive.
The Royal Caribbean, which operates the Icon of the Seas along with other groundbreakingly large cruise ships, told the outlet in a statement that their ship’s crew immediately notified the Coast Guard in the US and “launched a search and rescue operation”.
“Our care team is actively providing support and assistance to the guest’s loved ones during this difficult time,” the cruise company added. “For the privacy of the guest and their family, we have no additional details to share.“
The ship, which holds way over 5,000 guests and only made its maiden voyage in January of this year, had embarked on the cruise on Saturday, but after the incident on Sunday, the cruise halted and stayed put for around two hours while the search continued, the outlet said.
![cruise to caribbean from florida The ship cost approximately $2bn to build](https://static.independent.co.uk/2024/01/29/10/1958540910-1.jpg)
According to CruiseMapper tracking data, the Icon of the Seas is due to reach the port of Costa Maya, Mexico by noon on Tuesday.
The incident comes over a month after a similar tragedy on another Royal Caribbean cruise ship, the Liberty of the Seas when a 20-year-old man identified as Levion Parker is thought to have gone overboard during a trip around the Bahamas.
The cruise line immediately launched a search and rescue mission along with the US Coast Guard, but it was suspended after five days due to not being able to find him.
However, the cruise company has also witnessed some successful rescues in recent months, such as being able to recover a passenger who fell overboard from the Symphony of the Seas back in October.
The cruise, which had just left Barcelona at the time, said the guest was successfully brought back on board after falling shortly after it left the port.
