Charter guests being difficult on the 'Below Deck' franchise is nothing new, but making the crew stay up late and constantly complaining about terrible service in front of them definitely doesn't earn the guests any brownie points. The recently aired episode of 'Below Deck Sailing Yacht' featured Dr. Kim Nichols, a dermatologist from Greenwich Connecticut, and her husband Chris Cabanillas, chartering the Parsifal III for a luxury vacation with their friends.

With Gabriela Barragan deciding to quit mid-season, chief stew Daisy Kelliher and Ashley Marti were left to handle the whole service themselves. Though Daisy and Ashley braced themselves to do some extra work, the stews didn't anticipate the amount of work that they would not only be burdened with but also put up with the unimaginable level of disrespect from the charter guests. From the get-go, the guests found the most mundane thing to complain about and demand. From asking the crew to steam every piece of clothing to complaining about the ice melting and being served with lukewarm drinks while sitting under the sun, the guests went above and beyond to make the interior team's lives a living nightmare.

Daisy had to single-handedly cater to all the demands of the guests which ranged from making drinks and playing music to fetching them warm blankets. Despite being exhausted, Daisy maintained her calm and composure and did her best to meet all the demands of the guests. The guests noticed that Daisy was handling everything by herself, but instead of being understanding or more considerate of her situation, they complained about bad service to her. The chief stewardess was left fuming when one of the guests threw money at her for the "aggravations" caused to her by their group. 

After watching the guests' behavior, several fans took to Twitter to slam their inconsiderate behavior. A fan tweeted, "These guests are ridiculous #BelowDeckSailing." "I’ve never hated guests more, I can’t believe this woman is a doctor #belowdecksailing," wrote a fan. "@BelowDeckSailng When the Countess sang "Money Can't Buy You Class" she was talking about these Charter Guests! .... What a bunch of obnoxious, spoiled, inconsiderate A******s! @BravoTV #BelowDeckSailingYacht #belowdecksailing," observed a fan. "Chris & this fuggin transfusion…Just when I thought guests can’t get any worse - another group of jerks charter & prove me wrong #belowdecksailing #belowdeck," added a fan.

Another fan shared, "#BelowDeckSailing it never ceases to amaze me how ridiculously horrible the charter guests can be….do they NOT realize they are going to be on TV??? Stay CLASSY Dr. Nipples!!! #StoneColdLosers." "Got it, #DrNichols - you paid $60K for you and your guests to trash the yacht and treat the crew like shit. That's not enough, b*tch - shove that money over your crusty a******! #BelowDeckSailingYacht #belowdecksailing pardon my French #sorrynotsorry," commented an annoyed fan. "It's like a competition to be the worst, most obnoxious charter guests ever. So far, they're winning. #belowdecksailing," declared a fan.



 



 



 

Considering all that Dr Nichols and her guests are putting the crew through, we can only hope that they tip generously unlike the Roses from earlier charter, whose abysmal tip earned them a lot of clap back.

'Below Deck Sailing Yacht' Season 3 airs every Monday at 8/7c on Bravo.
