All of them need to go get dropped off at the US embassy on Hope Road. Let your country take care of you. Tf??? We have bigger problems right now.

The entitlement and disconnect from reality are beyond ridiculous.

Another one.

For me it’s the not being able to connect the dots Caribbean vacations and cruises are very CHEAP during the fall. Wonder why??? ITS HURRICANE SEASON DONT BOOK THEN And the hotel staff gotta go secure their homes and families wtf you want them to do lmao Common sense indeed ain’t common!

She said "bagged lunches" and "bagged pastries". She got MORE than pastries.

Another guest explaining the food situation.

Please note: this lady above isnt complaining. She gives the RUI hotel huge props. I am showing how she was thankful for all the meals the hotel provided. She explains the context for box delivered meals. The guest were on lockdown. The day prior they got regular buffet.

Realise the video cut off

The proper response would be to ask staff how they are doing? Is their family ok? Thank them for continuing to provide outstanding service under such distressing circumstances. Accept whatever the hotel offers you and be thankful your roof didn’t collapse you have food/water.

Someone on tiktok said americans behaved fat in Jamaica during Melissa. She didnt see one complaint about safety just people complaining and fighting about food. 😭😭😭

Imagine living through a Category 5 with 185 mph winds and this is what you wake up and complain about? You can't make this up. 😭

Please revoke their visitation to the island permanently. The nerves of these people🤯

This is disgusting behaviour. The guests knew the storm was coming. They should either have Left or been prepared. Those poor staff in there still serving them instead of being hone with their families only to meet that diagusting behaviour.

I really think some people believe natural disasters are negotiable, something you can pay your way out of, or scroll past when you're bored. They are not dealing in reality.

I need these people to be placed on a registry and banned from the island 🧍🏾♀️

Typical American mindset! Shut the fuck up complaining and be grateful you’ve got a place to go home to. Majority of the people working there might not. Most pretentious nobhead nation on earth. I wouldn’t be nice to them if I was the staff just tell them to shut up and grow up

Y’all gone hate me but yea they should get some money back unless it’s specifically stated in the hotels policy under refunds. All inclusive depending on the resort isn’t cheap. So I understand the why but it’s also not what they purchased so just give them a discount.

That is what travel insurance is for. Use it.

Does it cover something like this? But yea I still think the hotel should discount them.

It does. It would cover every day that they are there at the hotel and is customary. If you also use it while booking a flight, you can cancel/rebook due to "acts of God".

@Hey_Love_Hey My husband and I dont travel to any island without insurance. Never!!

@Girl6Sd @Hey_Love_Hey And the ignorance of booking a trip to the Caribbean during hurricane season n mad they caught in a hurricane

@_erica_ann1 @Girl6Sd Y’all keep saying that for no reason the entire summer is hurricane season and yall don’t tell people going on summer vacation that. 😂

@Sammychocha @_erica_ann1 From the time you are a child hurricane season is taught as june-november. Also other regions have their own stuff you need to be mindful of like monsoons and tornado season. So it always smart to check before hand.

Do they not understand the island was just hit by a hurricane, and this is hurricane season? How are y'all mad at the hotel?

These people do not represent America. For them to act so disrespectfully after a Category 5 hurricane is beyond astounding. The workers and citizens of Jamaica already have far too much on their plates to deal with this kind of nonsense.

Why is she there? She didn't know the storm was coming...

She was proud to post "travelling during a hurricane advisory" before this on socials. She was well aware.

She really just said "yall knew this storm was coming.." Um your there by choice... so you didn't know it was coming too?

The disrespectful one is this woman. Some of the hotel staff may not have homes now. People on the island affected may not have food and she's carrying on like this? There were storm warnings about the hurricane giving people ample time to cancel their trips or evacuate.

Internet, do your thing…

i hate when americans go to other countries and do this entitled nonsense. why are you yelling at the fcking resort hosts because you don’t like what is being served?!?! do you realize you could’ve died in that hurricane?! the fcking island just went through a fcking natural disaster, can’t you see?! why not be lucky with what you have? whatever happened to respect & compassion?! whatever happened to having empathy?! let them handle whatever needs to be handled. don’t get mad at them, you’re on their island. if you don’t like it don’t bring your ass back.

I mean they still gotta pay full price so why not complain about not getting your moneys worth? If the storm is so important everything should be free.

The shelters were free. Hotels arent.

Of course. They aren’t at a shelter. They paid for a hotel. So if the hotel can take their money they should be able to accommodate them better IF circumstances didn’t get in the way.

They were accomodated. Food delivered to rooms, packaged take away snacks. Escorted to safe zones etc. What else do you want with high winds and rain outside?

Idk my money back? Idk the back story I’m just going off what’s shown on the video. I feel like if there’s a crisis, money should be the last thing to worry about because you gotta take what you can get so why charge out the ass knowing they will only get the little they have??

As you said, it’s a crisis. That is why travel insurance exists and it’s clear these ladies did not do their due diligence and purchase it before traveling to the Caribbean during hurricane season. Thats simply a risk they took on. Ideally this would be sorted with a claims adjuster, not with staff who have to work whilst preparing for their livelihoods to be uprooted/damaged. Surely you understand that.

@Girl6Sd Yeah I responded to someone else about that as well. THAT is their fault. Just as a business who knows they have hurricane season and still will be open, they should be able to do better if they want full price

Y'all could've lost so much more and this is what y'all complaining about?!?! How rude and entitled!!

Did this man cause a category 5 during Hurricane season? Did he tell you not to have travelers insurance? This man is being kind to people that lack empathy and doesn't even see his humanity. He's probably worried about his family and home and this tourist is berating him

And if the staff heist up them petticoats we’d hear how they’re wrong.

Crazy. I've been to the RIU. Staff are great. They are dealing with incredible circumstances. Staying working to take care of guests. They weren't even able to go safeguard their homes. My goodness. The lack of understanding and patience. Good grief. Get them out. Never come back

@ADayInLondon94 These bitches are cooked! It’s a fucking natural disaster and this is how they’re behaving?!?

It’s disrespectful to expect someone to cater to you in the midst of a crisis

Staff get a pass to slap people during these times, right? Right?? 😭

Self centered dizzy ass bitch. Im so irritated

Disgusting!! I wish the worst for them, truly.

This is wildly embarrassing. Stay your entitled asses in the US, especially during hurricane season!!!! Smh

As a retired hospitality worker myself I can relate. I've always found black Americans to be the most pretentious and obnoxious guests to deal with...kmft

people need to stop going to the carribean if they not from there or dont have relatives tbh, these resorts hurt the communities and thebpeople that stay at them always got a higher than thou mindset when u literally coulda just gone to miami

SHES CARIBBEAN......BERMUDA...
