【海外の反応】40歳の誕生日クルーズで主役だけ乗れず、友達は出港。「これって私がおかしい？」

> When we get there, my girlfriend tells me that there was an issue with the agent she booked through and our reservation was cancelled.

well i call bullshit on _that_… why aren’t you mad at your gf?

anyway YTA, did you expect them to just lose all of the money they spent on the booking? are you sure you’re 40?

YTA Come on now, your 40 not 4. Did you really expect them to lose out on all the money they spent on the trip because your gf messed up your reservations? You said yourself that they tried to transfer their reservations over to yours and your girlfriend‘s names and they wouldn’t allow that. What else did you expect them to do? Grow up

I’m very curious what this issue with the booking agent was. Final payments are due weeks in advance and not paying your balance results in an immediate cancellation, which would have been made known to your gf and the agent, again, weeks prior.

Also soft YTA. Do you really want your friends to have lost out on thousands of dollars because of something that wasn’t their fault? Yeah it stinks that it was for your birthday, but it also wouldn’t have been fair to them to lose out on all of that money

Yta

They tried to make it work, they even offered their reservation and name changes just so you could go, but unfortunately it was denied and this is not their fault.

Yta for expecting from them to just give up their paid reservation, for which they would not get refund almost certainly ( because my friends reservation did not come through is not a valid reason for refund). So you wanted them to lose the money they spent, days they took from work and just sit at home for xx days because your gf or travel agent did not made reservations correctly.

I know that the point was surprise cruse for your bf, but seriously, you expected them to just lose money, time etc….. I’m sure this was some sort of vacation for them as well.

The audacity….

YTA

They tried to give you their room, what else could they do at that point? You weren't alone you had your GF with you. You should have insisted they go and wished them fun at that point really. No way I would want my best friends to waste their money by not going at all once the f@ck up happened.

I understand you felt disappointed that you couldn't go of course, that does suck. But you should be angry at the agent not your friends (unless they knew he was worthless).

YTA

It would've been N A H if you were just bummed about the situation at large, that is fair and reasonable. But where it tips into AH territory is because you are trying to guilt trip them, whether intentionally or not.

Your friends were in between a rock and a hard spot, they were either going to disappoint you by going *or* lose out on a significant portion of money if they hadn't gotten on the cruise. They made every effort at the dock to see if they could get you on the boat and that was what should have been expected.

Info: Are you saying you wanted your friends to cancel their trip?? If so, does that mean they'd lose the money they spent?? Again, if so, how much are you saying you wanted them to just (figuratively) toss in the trash??
