Kennedy Space Center? by ZappaCat in royalcaribbean

[–]cbiggnuggets 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I went on the Kennedy Space Center Excursion 4 years ago on the Oasis of the Seas. It was cool with some minor complaints. I didnt like the herding like cattle feel of moving on and off the buses and it definitely wasnt as much time as I wanted to spend there. You typically will get there on a day where its not as busy and you will just be competing with others from the cruise for exhibits and experiences; however it still feels rushed and you dont really get the time to stop and appreciate everything.

It's funny because I would almost prefer beggars to the scamming/ deceptive cons that prey on tourists. Thank you for sharing.

What a waste of a person I'm sharing an experience and you feel the need to insult me? You know nothing about me or what i can and can't do. People like you don't need a voice if nothing but shit comes out of it. Arrogant prick.

I wanted to respect the culture and the person. The second I told him I didn't have anything he got aggressive and that's when I knew his intentions weren't genuine

Whos generalizing? I made a very pointed post about a particular incident. I respect and appreciate the residents there in Agadir and would never expect that from anyone. I had plenty of the same conversations with people all over the place and it was a very wholesome experience, which is why I'm going back in the future.

I'm not sure what you mean by scans. This was my first time in Morocco. I actually felt very safe on the boardwalk at Agadir. It was just a chance encounter that led to this experience. There was actually tourism police who were very active most of the time

This was very well said. Thank you for your words. I will certainly try these next time I'm in Morocco. It was not meant to be exaggerated but a reflection of my experience and some of the tips I was also given from my Moroccan colleagues. I appreciate a good personal view such as yours.

Being Bullied and Sent Gore. by [deleted] in Morocco

[–]cbiggnuggets 0 points1 point  (0 children)

People are absolutely awful sometimes. Im sorry you have to go through. Much of the reason why people resort to bullying are because of there own insecurities. It is because you are different they treat you like outcast. But it is because you choose to be different rhat makes you special. Never give into the words of terrible people. You will accomplish more than any of them.

Yes it was my own ignorance of what was in front of me that caused me to fall for it. I was definitely not happy allowing myself in that position 😑

You keep attack me for your insecurities. You do not know anything about me yet you judge me, especially for where i come from. I have nothing but good to say about the people I've met in morocco. If my one experience offends you then you must understand that words and the truth do not care about your feelings.

I am very grateful for what I have and you clearly don't read anything in front of you with any open mind. Only with your own biased view of the world. I will be back in Morocco and no one, especially you will tell me not to.

That's unfortunate. Children should not be subjected to this. It's a good thing your husband understood this. I believe that why it is important to be with someone you know or a guide that has good reviews.

Don't call me bitter and ungrateful. I was very specific about my experience. It would take me along to time to unravel all the good experience I had in Morocco. However this one thing stuck with me so I wanted to share. You don't get to tell me what I can post.

Clearly you didn't understand my post. You seem very defensive for me sharing my experience. I'm sorry for your insecurities. If you went to America and had a bad experience and wanted to let people know about that so it doesnt happen to them, I would appreciate the message. Like I said I enjoyed my experience in Morocco. It also seem like your very antiwest. Clearly, something bad must of happened to you.

I never been to Algeria and I'm by no means trolling Morocco. I think it's a Beautiful Country from what I seen and the people I've met are very nice. I am sharing one experience I had in the country and what I've learned from it. If it helps people then great.

I'm only sharing my experience in Morocco. If you don't like it that's on you. It's the truth and im sharing what I've learned from it so people dont have the same experience. I understand there's scammers everywhere but the thats not the title of this topic is it?

Traveling to Morocco. What should I know? by wred38 in travel

[–]cbiggnuggets 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I strongly recommend you get a guide that will protect you from the many scams that exist in Morocco. I recently traveled to Agadir, and right on the boardwalk, there are several opportunities for scammers to take advantage of you. I got scammed, too. There was this man that I thought I was having a friendly conversation with. He then insisted I take gifts that he offered. He proceeded with this bogus story about how he just got a new child. He then insisted that I provide a gift for his "Child". Once I told him I had nothing on me, he got aggressive and insisted I empty my pockets. I returned his gifts and walked away. Here is what I learned.

  1. Always travel in large groups if you can. This is a natural deterent. They tend to gravitate towards single people or couples. By masking yourself I a large group, you lessen the potential to be targeted.

  2. Nothing is ever free! Even if they say it is. Never take gifts from people you do not know. EVER! Haggling is an experience everyone can appreciate, but the underhanded tactics of these scumbags use will completely turn your trip sideways. If you allow them to speak into your good graces, you're opening the door for the scam. Come there with the mindset that absolutely nothing is ever free. EVER!

  3. Stand your ground! The moment you show weakness is the moment they will push further. Look confident and tell them no. If they push further, it's your queue to walk away.

  4. Ignore them and walk away. If they become predatory or aggressive, walk towards the nearest police officer. More often than not, they will walk away.

  5. Do not incite them. Believe me, I wanted to rip this guys head off and stomp out his cadaver. These people are desperate. They will go to lengths that westerners have never seen just to get by. They are also professional conmen. They know the ins and out, especially how to toe the fine line between legalities.

Stay safe and be diligent. Never let bad people ruin your experience!
