CORRECT PIER RUNNER ETIQUETTE IF YOU'RE LATE... AT LEAST RUN! YOU HAVE TO APPRECIATE A solid Pier Runner effort!

Original caption

Now THIS is correct pier runner etiquette. 😂 I had no clue which ship she was running to, but she was MOVING! If you’re late, I can at least respect the effort. None of that casually strolling back while everyone waits on you. 😂 She made it just as security was getting ready to load up the gangway. A+ for effort! 🙌 Do you LOVE watching pier runners too?! 👀 #CruiseLife #PierRunner #Cruising #CruiseHumor #peoplewatching

Transcript

All right, I don't know where she's running to, but she's in a hurry. Everybody else is not in a hurry, but she is in a hurry. And she looks determined to get wherever she's going. Watch out for that golf cart. So she's not going to be on no, she's on our ship. She is about to be late. Look, they're loading up everything. And she is late. Hold on, she's you're going to make it back on, definitely late. Now I see why she was running. Rhapsody of the Seas. They're loading up everything. I thought she was on the icon, which is over here next to us. They still have time, you still have coming, but she was coming, but she was running for a reason. Because they're going to leave her. So now they're going to let her get on. Don't become a pier runner in Saint Martin and I actually got almost got left here one time. Long story, I have to tell you another time, but this lady made it. Good job. You're not you're not you're not getting left behind.
