norcal2 Posted January 31, 2011 #26 Share Posted January 31, 2011 Yes we met a known rapper on one cruise with friends who was cruising incognito. After the cruise in the summer we all got together for a week of fun. I am not a rapper type person so we were all the odd couples. Different is good.

Sherrybaby412 Posted January 31, 2011 #27 Share Posted January 31, 2011 On my first cruise 10 years ago, we went snorkeling in Key West. Met 2 nice brothers, one wife and kids.

jebuell Posted January 31, 2011 #28 Share Posted January 31, 2011 OK...I have to ask.....who was he? The voice of Linus on the Charlie Brown cartoons is what he's most famous for. Then he's done a ton of modeling and commercials. You've probably seen him on billboards in the 70s and 80s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

salty dingo Posted January 31, 2011 #30 Share Posted January 31, 2011 I spoke with Sir Charles Barkley at 2 am one morning in a Krystal in Alabama. We both went to Auburn at the time, so I recognized him. He was not yet famous, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shadwick Posted January 31, 2011 #32 Share Posted January 31, 2011 Wasn't on a cruise, but I helped Marie Osmond with her Christmas shopping. The funny thing is...she wouldn't ever remember me (like she would anyway) because I was in a clown costume as it was Halloween and we all had dressed up for the holiday. I also saw Howard Cosell walking down the street in NY when I was a teenager...which was a LONG time ago. LOL :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wcurry66 Posted January 31, 2011 #35 Share Posted January 31, 2011 I met Jason lee and the guy that plays Ian hawke in the chipmunks movie. Also met Alvin :) they were shooting the third chipmunks movie on the Dream last week and I was on board. I ran into the producers a bunch of times in the spa as well. wait! there's a 3rd Chipmunk movie? And part is set on a cruise ship? A carnival cruise ship??? I see myself moving up several levels of cool with my 6 year old. Now if i can only convince her the movie was done on OUR ship. The Pride and the dream are practically identical, right?

jagsfan Posted January 31, 2011 #36 Share Posted January 31, 2011 Years ago on the Norway, Jim Nabors was the entertainer. What a charmer he was, with a wonderful voice. Never dreamed he was so good, and I wound up sitting with him on the beach having drinks..... On the lift in the Grosvenor Hotel on Park Ave in London, a fellow with a tall blonde woman was pushing the buttons. He asked where he could drive us to, and we gave him our floor. When we got off, he asked if he drove fast enough, and I told him he was the fastest in the world. It dawned on us a couple of hours later it was Jackie Stewart, the race car driver/TV commentator.

JWBmom Posted January 31, 2011 #37 Share Posted January 31, 2011 When we were on our Disney cruise they were filming an episode of the tv show According to Jim. It was kind of a pain because they would close decks and not let you walk through or be anywhere close when they were filming. Most of the cast and crew acted like they were entitled to have whatever they wanted even at the expense of other passengers. We weren't particularly happy about this because Disney cruises are expensive and I am sure they didn't pay the money we did....lol. They did leave an autographed picture of the cast in every stateroom. And Jim Belushi played with the band one night at a sail away party, which was very cool. He was the most down to earth one of the whole bunch:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He loved to walk down the street, smoking one of his huge stinky cigars, just to hear people say, "Hey, look, it's Howard Cosell!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bjd2 Posted January 31, 2011 #40 Share Posted January 31, 2011 On our Dream cruise last February, Michael Winslow (voice of Police Academy and Spaceballs sound effects) was on board. He got quite a bit of attention from John and he did some great special affects things for a couple of John's shows. He also did the Legends show. I was Aretha and he was James Brown. It was fun to just hang out back stage with him. He is a very nice person. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You've probably seen him on billboards in the 70s and 80s. Wasn't that Eric Shea's brother? And didn't he just die? All I remember was Peter Robbins playing Charlie Brown, and when he was on the Munsters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gardn198 Posted January 31, 2011 #48 Share Posted January 31, 2011 never on a cruise, but I work in entertainment and I worked on "The Office" for a while, got to meet and have lunch with all the actors every day. when I left they all signed this huge poster and bought me a bottle of vodka for my 21st birthday! I'll take a picture and post it here. I also helped develop the show "Community" and I was there for the first table read so I met Chevy Chase and Joel McHale and all those guys. Also I was a member of the same gym as Zac Efron and I once turned my head doing situps on the mat and there he was doing them right next to me... almost fainted! I was also in a movie with Drew Barrymore and Juliette Lewis and Kristin Wiig.. got to hang out with them on the lighting crew's trailer for 2 hours after the shoot.. it was surreal!

soccersharon Posted February 1, 2011 #49 Share Posted February 1, 2011 On our very first cruise (Valor), my brother met John O'Hurley...a.k.a. "Jay Peterman" from Seinfeld! John was very gracious, and took a photo with my bro...even though I begged my bro not to bother John on his vacation! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
