The most shocking thing....??

[Thoth]

My hypnotist story happened a few years ago, I think it was on a Princess ship. During the show, one of the participants was selected because he was the funniest. Post hypnotic suggestion was to be kind to his family and wife.

Next morning I see him at Guest Services complaining that the hypnotist, with the Post-hypnotic suggestion, caused his bar tab to be so high and that the hypnotist should pay his bar bill because the participant provided such great entertainment.

 

??????

 

He did not have much luck convincing the Guest Services that this should happen though.

 

On another cruise on MSC, we had delightful tablemates who were a little younger than us. As such they availed themselves of the sundeck frequently (both wound up a little reddish). But the great part was that we ran into them all over the ship.

On a sea day, the husband was on the upper lido deck enjoying the sunshine and working on his tan. The wife was somewhere else. Well..... next to the husband sits the lady on the cruise that we all called Leather Boobs. The reason is, that although she was quite attractive, she sunbathed topless. (This was MSC and had a large Italian Contigent on board.). So we brought up the Scenery at dinner that night. The husband turned even more red. But we all had a laugh. (and he agreed about her nickname.)

The hypnosis is the blame ? yeah right ! Nice try though :D

A adult woman who.cut in front of me at breakfast buffet ..In a bikini she shouldn't have been wearing....picking her nose....then licking her finger....then picking up the sausage spoon with the same hand!

 

Bikini at the buffet? That would not be permitted in the uSA ... time to change cruise lines!

Leaving port, pulling out beside another ship, many of us were out on our balconies waving at those on the other ship.two young men on there balcony in robes dropped their robes and something obviously had "excited" them!

 

In the lido I watched a toddler lick the salt and pepper shakers for several minutes while the parents ate. They left them on the table and then when the next occupants reached for them I ran over and stopped them. Didn't use the salt or pepper all cruise!

 

1) I am guessing the were excited to be naked, on the verandah, with each other. This stuff happens on a regular basis.

 

2) Mom and Dad should have been tossed overboard. I wonder whether the servers saw any of the licking?

A few years back on the Carnival Triumph, there was a family of four and every night their DS (who appeared to be about 4-5 yo) threw a piece of glassware on the floor and broke it. The parents would do nothing about it at all. we did over hear them tell the waiter that this is nothing, he keeps breaking glasses in our room to and the steward keeps putting them back. It became a nightly trivia time for us to guess what he would break. It is sad that his family allowed this behavior.

 

 

Parents are trash ... the apple does not fall from the tree ... especially when they learn from the apple tree!

Triumph spring break cruise 2012...I heard a noise in the middle of the night on our balcony. Went to check and there was a very drunk college student standing on my balcony grabbing a chair. He had busted down the divider and was trying to steal our chairs!!! I went out and screamed at him. He started to climb over the side of the balcony to get back to his. Then I screamed that he was going to fall. I called security and they didn't do much. Crazy kids!

 

 

Let me guess ... CARNIVAL Triumph?

A very drunk scantily clad thong bikini girl twerking in the face of a matronly indian fully covered lady on the lido deck. It was disgusting

On last cruise in February on the Triumph sat next to 4 "ladies" in their mid twenties that came to the MDR drunk EVERY night! On elegant night one of the girls was so drunk she ate the whole lobster with her hands! Checked twice to see if she had silverware...yep she did! And one of the other girls fell asleep while she was eating! Priceless:eek:

 

 

I'm guessing CARNIVAL Triumph (again) ... Oy!

Uhhhh, simmer down now. I have been on RCL, Celebrity and Carnival and could tell you a story (or two) from those lines like one of these stories.

 

BTW, NOT all of the stories on this thread are about Carnival. Quite a few are about other cruiselines that don't seem to have a "low class" sterotype.

[AmberCascades]

I'm guessing CARNIVAL Triumph (again) ... Oy!

 

Did you have a reeeeeally bad experience or something? Did someone at Carnival pee on your cornflakes or what? Let. It. Go. You will be much happier for it.

[brooklynfc]

Can we get some love for the fat people...........geez the old naked people and the drunk guy got some love.

 

:p

 

I took my mom on her first cruise back in 2011 and it took her a few days to want to wonder around on her own. I had met friends my own age, so I was hanging with them. My mom said she was going to bed, but I later find out she went for a stroll around the ship to enjoy the night air and stumbled upon a man and a women having some upper deck railing sex. My poor mom. She laughed about it later though.

[Thoth]

How about when men "passes through" the topless deck hoping to see some female skin only to see a naked male ? :eek:

YEP...guilty ! :o That happened to me !!! After that no more trips to the topless deck :eek:

For the record I don't believe that Carnival has such a place anymore, so gents should not book a Carnival cruise thinking that they might get to see anything.

My husband and I took a bus trip where we were the babies on the bus. We were 60 and 54. The driver asked us if we wanted to stop at Orient beach. It wasn't on our route but we were going right by it. It would only be a very quick stop. They all wanted to stop. We got there and everyone was looking out the window when all of a sudden one women started yelling LOOK. I thought the bus was going to end up on it's side as everyone rushed to the one side. One lone older man needed to use the bathrooms I guess and ended up passing right by our bus. I don't know if I have ever seen so many older ladies so excited. Some did take some pictures I didn't. It seemed though that he actually was enjoying the excitment though as he could hear the ladies giggling and seemed to "stop" for a moment before moving on. It was all they could talk about the rest of the ride.

More scary than shocking. Myself, my husband and my teenage daughter were eating a late dinner in one of the smaller dining rooms. My daughter and I were sitting down with our backs to the port side and my husband was sitting across from me. I felt the ship tipping back. There were only a few diners left at this point, I could tell by the look on their faces that I wasn't crazy. It continued tipping. My daughter and I both felt like we were being pulled backwards. I really started getting nervous when I saw that the crew was nervous. I asked one of them if they ever felt this before and he said no. We started hearing dishes breaking in the kitchen and the crew took off running in that direction. There is a bar right outside the restaurant doors and the liquor began falling off of the shelves. Start to finish, this probably lasted 30 seconds. We never did find out what happened, but the rumor was that when they stopped the ship for the fireworks display someone made an operational error. It hasn't stopped me from booking again this year!

My adult daughter really wanted to learn how to windsurf so while we were in St Thomas we met a gentleman on a secluded beach for a 2 hour lesson. I was a little nervous about the whole setup but the company had tons of great reviews so we went ahead with it. While my daughter was in the water with the owner a homeless man wandered past with a towel and a bag. He preceded to set up his bath by a tree next to us and just stripped down. I happen to glance over and wow! :eek: This man did not need to be homeless because I am positive someone in the states would hire him to be in a porno...I tried not to stare but part of his anatomy was dangling down around his knee!!! About that time the windsurfing instructor swam in and made him leave...This may be sick but I kinda wish I would have taken a picture just to prove it happened!! :p

Watching two pax reading their Kindles as a whole showroom full of people were hitting 300+ balloons up in the air.

Sapphire Princess before the crew talent show.

Not really shocking, but funny....I think this happened on my cruise in 2010. There were several high school senior trips on board and although most of the kids were well-behaved, that wasn't the case for one boy. Mom and I were standing in one of the upper decks in the atrium when, all of the sudden, a woman in her 40's started screaming at this kid down below us. At first, I thought the woman was off her rocker, but then I realized she was a chaperone on the senior trip and the boy she was yelling at had somehow become pretty drunk. The poor kid kept looking at us like we were going to help him and the woman stormed off and said she was going to get security...didn't see him for the rest of the trip! This is a perfect of example of why I teach 5th grade...I'll never have to worry about dealing with high school kids on a trip! :D

These stories are hilarious!!

[tobishea]

I'm guessing CARNIVAL Triumph (again) ... Oy!

 

You are correct - but still had a BLAST! I a sure this stuff happens on many other cruise lines...:)

[tinkercat]

OMG!!! LOL...I don't think I could have even imagined up some of these stories...lololol...

 

 

I will be making particular notice of all things out of the ordinary on my cruise in May just so I can post it on here. Love reading these posts! :-)

These are true stories from someone who works on a cruise ship.

 

1. (For this one, you have to know that it's really easy to get lost in the maze of corridors and elevators on a ship.) A lady asked if this elevator went to the front of the ship.

 

2. Two elderly women were staring at the numbers of the floors listed above the elevator door. When asked if they needed any assistance with something, one asked how they were going to be able to reach way up there to push the button for their floor.

 

3. A newlywed couple, after bringing their luggage into their cabin, stormed down to the desk. The bride was in tears, and the groom was red faced. When asked what the problem was, the groom started swearing at the desk clerk. "We booked a cabin with a view for our honeymoon, and all we get to see out the window is a parking lot!"

 

4. There was some mix-up with a woman's room. The clerk (or whatever they are called on ships) was trying to remedy the situation. He asked, "Would you like an inside cabin or an outside cabin?" She replied, "Well, it looks like it might rain today. I'd better get an inside cabin."

 

5. Two women were sitting by the pool, and one asked what kind of water they fill the pool with -- fresh water or sea water? The cruise director answered, "Sea water." "Oh, that explains why it's so rough today."

 

6. Someone -- always a man -- always asks, "does the ship run on generators?" The Cruise Director usually tells them, "No, we just have a very long power line running to the mainland."

 

7. "What do you do with the ice sculptures after they melt?"

 

How about some funny comments made by cruise ship passengers?

 

1) Does the crew sleep on board?

 

2) Is the island completely surrounded by water?

 

3) How does the captain know where to go?

 

4) When the captain is sleeping, who is steering the ship?

 

5) Does the ship generate its own electricity?

 

6) What time is the midnight buffet?

 

7) What do they do with the ice sculptures after it melts?

 

8) How many fjords to the dollar?

 

9) What time is the two o'clock tour?

 

10) How do we know which photographs are ours?

 

11) I am married, but can I still come to the singles party?

 

12) Do I put my luggage out before or after I go to sleep?

 

13) Is an outside cabin outside of the ship?

 

14) Does the ship have cable TV?

 

 

I am laughing my socks off reading this :-)

Around 1 am or so we were in the 24 hour food spot. Two guys were sitting at a table one of the guys was at leat 400lbs, if not more. They finished eating but then went on to order another tableful of food, when the waiter came back with multiple traysful of food the big guy went off on the waiter saying he ordered them to go....making quite a scene. The manager came over and the guy was still going off....they called security and another person to Cary the trays of food to the guys cabin! The guy was so rude to the servers I wish they would have made him walk the plank :rolleyes:

Hope big boy had acid reflux that night!

While walking along the clothing optional section of Orient Beach(St. Maarten), a naked man around the age of 80, was sitting in the sand alone where the water from the beach rolls up. The funny part was, he was wearing fins, a snorkel and a mask. I still have that image etched in my brain.

This is the 1 post on this entire thread that actually has me LOLing! You've got a great way with words...and I keep picturing the bowl of cornflakes. Great visual! Thanks for the laugh, and I agree. Even though I've never cruised Carnival, I get tire of the bashing.
