Rand() Blog

I’m a big fan of the consumerist.com, a great site for those who like to rant and rave about any sort of business and how they treat their customers, for the most part its all bad, there are exceptions and those are posted too, mostly under the above and beyond category.  It is truly amazing some of the extremes companies go to, either by sticking to their rules sometimes painfully when its obvious they are the ones being ridiculous.

A good example is a person who wanted to get off their cruise early and had to return home.  The cruise line actually wouldn’t let him get off, they actually physically held him in custody for an hour.  Now correct me if I’m wrong, if I paid money to go on a cruise, and had to leave, am I in my right to do, according to the story its not like they were in the middle of ocean, they were in port.

Now I can understand if you were on an airplane and decided to get off midflight that could cause issues, but seriously, getting of a cruise early while docked in a port, hardly grounds for detention.

Now talk about abusrd.
