And there\u2019s always at least one who feels the compulsion to take out that displeasure on almost everyone that they meet whether or not they are related to the problem.<\/p>\n

In short, there is always someone who\u2019s determined to be a headache.<\/p>\n

The decision not to call in Port Moresby was not one that was reached easily, and a lot of people don\u2019t always compute that missing a port of call costs the line a lot of money and creates a heap of paperwork. It\u2019s not a decision that the stripes make lightly, quite the opposite. In this case, Port Moresby simply was not safe. At all. Granted, it\u2019s never really been<\/i> safe, there were lots of people wondering why we were calling there in the first place and many who were extremely relieved at the change in plans. There were more people disappointed that we ended up not being able to overnight in Brisbane (they couldn\u2019t provide a berth for us), than there were that we couldn\u2019t stop in New Guiana.<\/p>\n

But there\u2019s always one. And that one can touch of others. The same guest has gone off on the travel guide, the FCC (future cruise consultant) and me about how furious she is that we won\u2019t be stopping in Port Moresby. They simply refuse to listen to reason and will not accept the fact that this was a decision made for their safety<\/i>. There are people hijacking buses in Port Moresby! Even if we put the guests only on escorted tours it wouldn\u2019t be considered safe!<\/p>\n

Honestly if you are in so much of a hurry to endanger yourself why not just book a trip there yourself? Why bother coming on a cruise?<\/p>\n
