The recent \u201cBig Brother\u201d-themed Postgame Cruise gave fans an opportunity to rub elbows with some of the CBS reality show\u2019s biggest stars. But one \u201cBig Brother\u201d alum<\/a> hinted that the Caribbean cruise was hardly paradise.<\/p>\n

Quinn Martin of \u201cBig Brother 26\u2033 took to X on Friday, June 20, to share a statement <\/a>about his experience. <\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve had some people ask and while it was phenomenal getting to hangout with fellow Big Brother fans on that boat, I did want to make it clear that due to personal and professional reasons I will NOT be working with the company that hosted the Postgame Cruise ever again,\u201d Martin wrote. NJ.com has reached out to Martin for further comment.<\/p>\n

In addition to his vague statement about cutting ties with Showroom Travel and Postgame Cruise, Martin also reposted a video<\/a> shared by a fan who claimed to have attended the \u201cBig Brother\u201d event. <\/p>\n

In the video, the fan, who goes by @_BBSteph_ on social media, claimed that there was \u201ca dark side\u201d to the cruise. She called it \u201cchaotic\u201d and claimed that the creator of Postgame Cruise, Mike Gibson, made \u201cinappropriate public comments to fans about \u2018Big Brother 26\u2019 contestant Tucker [Des Lauriers] and his personal life.<\/a>\u201d <\/p>\n

Steph also shared alleged screenshots of text messages that she claimed were from former Showroom Travel agents. The text messages contained allegations that Gibson had sexually harassed female employees. NJ.com has reached out to Showroom Travel Agency and Postgame Cruise for comment. <\/p>\n

When resharing Steph\u2019s video, Martin wrote, \u201cOne of the primary goals of community is safety, so please take a moment to watch this video so we can protect other reality tv fans in the future.\u201d<\/p>\n

While Martin has no interest in working with Postgame Cruise again, other \u201cBig Brother\u201d alums enjoyed their time on the Royal Caribbean\u2019s Utopia of The Seas ship. Janelle Pierzina, who competed on seasons 6, 7, 14, and 22 of \u201cBig Brother,\u201d raved about the experience.<\/p>\n

\u201cI had so much fun on the BB cruise! I had the best four days I\u2019ve had in a long time ! Spending time with my best friends, new alumni and BB fans was amazing! So many laughs and memories! #PostGameCruise,\u201d she wrote via X <\/a>alongside photos of herself with fellow \u201cBig Brother\u201d alums Kaysar Riddha, Howie Gordon, Beau Beasley, Angela Murray, and Jag Bains. <\/p>\n

When a fan asked Pierzina about other \u201cBig Brother\u201d alums having qualms with Postgame Cruise, Pierzina replied<\/a>, \u201cThat is their perspective this is mine. I can say with all certainty that I and everyone that I\u2019ve played BB with had a good time.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cBig Brother\u201d alums Cameron Hardin, Rachel Reilly Villegas, Brendon Villegas, James Rhine, Danielle Reyes<\/a>, Britney Haynes, America Lopez, Cory Wurtenberger, Elissa Slater, Reilly Smedley, and Michael \u201cCowboy\u201d Ellis also attended the four-night cruise, which set sail on Monday, June 9. <\/p>\n
