It turns out, you can have a little bit too much fun on holiday - as one raunchy couple found out in an awkward blunder.
The German pair were ordered to leave their cruise ship just one day into a fortnight-long trip for enjoying themselves a little too loudly as they had intercourse while they were in the Caribbean. They said it was simply an innocent mistake because they had forgotten the door to their cabin's balcony was open.
After being removed from the Tui cruise, the couple said they would launch legal action against the holiday company to ensure they got their money back, after they were left them "stranded" in Barbados with all their luggage.
The incident took place back in 2019, and was reported in Reise Reporter at the time. The couple said that they booked the holiday abroad Mein Schiff 5, which set sail on April 1. However, shortly after the cruise began while the vessel was anchored off Barbados, Renate F, and her husband, Volker, told Reise they were having very loud "consensual sex" but forgot that their balcony door was open.
Afterwards, Renate said the pair began arguing loudly, but claimed there was no violence and no damage to their accommodation. Later, Volker was in the shower and Renate smoking a cigarette on their balcony when a manager, accompanied by a security guard, came to their room and told them the captain had ordered them to leave the cruise ship.
'I don't want children staying up late at weekends - I really need adult time'
After disembarking in Barbados, the couple say they were stranded, and were forced to pay thousands to catch a flight back to Paris, where they took a train home to Germany. The couple was reported afterward to be suing the holiday company for damages, including compensation for "pain" and reimbursement for travel expenses.
They claim the tour operator and the captain "violated their duty of care". In a statement to the Resie Reporter at the time, TUI said: "Due to a security-related incident, we have made use of our house right and asked the guests to leave the ship.
"This was done to protect the guests themselves and other fellow travellers. There has already been correspondence with Mrs F. in which we have set our view of things. Please understand that we do not want to comment on the privacy of our guests in detail."
TUI's terms and conditions state: "If in the opinion of the Carrier's representative, the Passenger's behaviour is disruptive, threatening or abusive or is causing or is likely to cause danger or distress to others, the Carrier may terminate that Passenger's travel arrangements without any liability on the Carrier's part and the Passenger will not be entitled to any refund for unused or missed services or costs incurred resulting from the termination of the travel arrangements."
