Silly Cruise Questions

[ryansmemom]

Someone over on the RCI board started a thread about the silly cruise questions and comments people hear on and off ships. I know it's been done before. However, it's been a while and there are some newbies and maybe some veterans who may enjoy it.

 

I'll start:

 

My mother used to worry about me climbing up the side of the ship to get to the top deck. She pictured me scaling up the side on rope ladders ala old WWII movies.

 

We were on the Rotterdam last year and heard a woman ask if HAL used food dye to color the water that particular shade of blue. (Chimera alluded to that fact as a joke when we were on the tender leaving HMC and apparently the he started something)

 

We heard that on an Alaska cruise someone complained of becoming ill because of the change in altitude as they traveled further north.

 

Does anyone have any other interesting tidbits to add?

We've heard several cruise directors share questions they get from passengers. One is "Does the crew sleep on the ship?"

[Vic The Parrot]

"Do these stairs go up?"

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

2. "Is the TV onboard satellite or cable?"

The Rorrerdam VI transatlantic last summer was the foggiest cruise we have ever been on. More than halfway through the cruise a man in the Crow's Nest said very loudly that

he couldn't understand the Captain's lack of consideration in "blowing the damn horn so often and wondered if the captain was whistle-happy"

 

Can you imagine anyone not realizing the purpose of a fog horn?

Here are a couple of classics:

 

1. Does the crew go home at night?

 

2. Is that the same moon we have at home?

About 15 min. after pulling out of port a lady asked me "when will the Cpt turn around and go forward?" We had been going forward the whole time. :D

Another silly question......In the photo gallery, How can I tell which photos are mine?

[kmbeachlover]

Of course there's the "What time is the midnight buffet?":p

Boneheads are also getting off in port with their questions too.

 

 

We were at a beach bar in Cozumel and a woman bought a pepsi and received peso's in change... She asked these aren't quarters! what will I do with them?

(she put them in her purse anyway):eek:

Does this elevator go to the front of the ship?:)

I just love all of these! Every time I read them I wind up laughing and practically rolling on the floor. I just knew you guys would come up with some new ones along with the oldies but goodies that I never tire of hearing.

 

Keep up the good work!
