I recently went on a cruise with English, German, Italian, Chinese and Spanish.
The English were well behaved and polite. The Spanish were loud, annoying, ignorant and ignored queues. The Chinese ignored everybody and wouldn't join in anything. The Italians were a little loud in the evenings but generaly polite. The Germans were fine.
The spanish kids were the worst.
What have been your experiences.

I lived in spain so i would agree that the spanish are VERY rude. They are very loud, very obtrusive, and just generally grouchy especially the younger ones. Me and my family were out to dinner with some friends at a nice restaurant and this group of kids burst in all drunk and loud and ruined the night for everyone at the restaurant. They are very conseeded and self centered. I am not bad mouthing all spanish people and i love their culture but on vactions they do tend to be annoying.

I find Hispanic people to have the least manners. I enjoy Asians. Italians are nice too, very friendly. Never had a problem with Germans. I haven't known any British people. I find a lot of Australians very rude. I wonder if this is just the tourists and not the average people, I don't know. So Hispanic are the ones that bother me the most. I admit it.

I could'nt agree less re the Spanish...at least where I live in Catalunya in northern Spain. They are the most polite and courteous people I have ever met. My wife and I emigrated here 4 years ago and they have made us most welcome.Their manners are impecable. They can be "loud " as in volume , but that is just their nature. You get used to it. We get English tourists over here and I tell you, they are extremely embarrassing.
We cringe when they talk to Spanish staff and treat them like they are from an asylum. The fact that we emigrated here says it all about both sets of people. The French are appalling, obsessed with dogs and dogshit and very ill mannered and also very scruffy....so much for French "chic ". I could go on and on.

What is annoying? If I am on a fun filled social weekend all cultures are quite good for social entertainment. However, if I am on a quite romantic cultural holiday I have to say that the English and Americans are the loudest which is not on the top of my like list! But that is my personal taste oh I am British by the way! Please note that British and English are two very different things IMHO.

We recently went to Disney World. The English (British) were extremely fun, the Asians were quiet, the Anglos (American white) were completely different with no specific activity to classify them, the African-Americans were loud and funny, the Hindus were the worst. Not in behavior, just in bathing. They all needed a bath.

THANK you, KB for seeing this question for what it really is! The great majority of the rest of you just strolled right down that stereotype road with the poster. What the hell is wrong with you people? You've spread your bias' here today like it's the most natural thing in the world to do!

I live in Southern California and we get a lot of large tour groups from Asia. At theme parks, shopping malls, local attractions, they are categorically the worst behaved. They're rude, quick to anger, and have this massive sense of entitlement. If you get one or two on their own, they're lovely people, but something about being in a group sends them right over the edge.

Germans and Australians can be partucularly annoying. Some of them are fine don't get me wrong, but when the juice starts flowing its the Jerries and the Aussies that can get the loudest and stupidest!

Agree with the English point (they just like us because we speak english as well) I found Italians to be very difficult to work with, (here and abroad) but I liked visiting Rome. The French are snooty, but not waiter snooty.
