Holiday-makers open the door on amorous couple in their cabin
When Bobby and Mary Jackson booked a dream cruise from Singapore to Thailand they expected to see some exotic sights.
But nothing could have prepared the couple for the eyeful they got when they checked into their cabin. When they opened the door they were confronted with the sight of a naked male crewman having sex with a mystery woman on their bed.
“I was horrified,” Mary, 62, said. “What I witnessed was extremely unpleasant. “There was a man and woman having sex on the bed in our designated room.
“I immediately closed the door again. Eugene, our cabin attendant, was present and he immediately went to inform his supervisor.
“We are not prudes but this was ridiculous.” The couple, from Carrickfergus, County Antrim, had paid about £4,800 for the week-long cruise – their first ever – on the 2,376-passenger Norwegian Jewel ship in October.
But the trip didn’t get off to the best of starts when they were left waiting on the quayside at Singapore’s Marina Bay for two and a half hours in scorching heat before boarding.
“When we finally got on the ship we first went to the bar for a drink because we were exhausted after all the standing around in the heat,” Bobby, 64, said.
“We were then shown down to our state room accommodation, which we were really looking forward to seeing.”
When they got to cabin 10039, the electronic key card at first wouldn’t work in the door. But at the third attempt, the door finally opened and that is when their jaws hit the deck.
“I could see the back of a man on the bed who was directly facing us and it was obvious he was in the middle of having sex with a woman,”
