scgamecock Posted March 10, 2012 #2 Share Posted March 10, 2012 Not at all... Freddy is cool! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Tapi Posted March 10, 2012 #3 Share Posted March 10, 2012 (edited) Yes, he's a bit creepy looking with that big Joker smile. But somehow, little kids (and kids at heart) seem to like him. Our toddler son loved him (and yes, we ended up buying one of those stupid Funship Freddy dolls once our son spotted them at the gift shop :rolleyes:) Edited March 10, 2012 by Tapi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taragl Posted March 10, 2012 #4 Share Posted March 10, 2012 All life-sized costumed characters creep me out... and yet I keep going back to Disney World and having a blast. Go figure. :confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maldenmusic Posted March 10, 2012 #5 Share Posted March 10, 2012 We love him and my adult daughter got soooo excited last year on the Elation when she met him! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N.FL Cruisers Posted March 10, 2012 #6 Share Posted March 10, 2012 I did not find him creepy ever, but my son from a small age to now 11 finds him totally creepy. He runs and hides and will leave the area when he sees him coming. Freddy now has me creeps out. Maybe it is the fear of unknown but I am going w/ my sons gut:eek:.

cccer Posted March 10, 2012 #7 Share Posted March 10, 2012 Kids seem to like him and that's what they want. Many years ago I bought a pinata for a kid's party. I bought the most ugly looking think I could find and brought it. It turned out it was on of Barney's friends and no one wanted to hit it. Finally one of the adults hit it and some of the kids actually cried. I wanted to burn it, I guess looks are in the eye of the beholder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seashinesunshine Posted March 10, 2012 #8 Share Posted March 10, 2012 Is it just me - or does anyone else find Funship Freddy a bit creepy? Not at all, and last year when I was hobbling on my injured foot, tripped and fell into him, he was very kind a gracious about it. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
agc291 Posted March 10, 2012 #9 Share Posted March 10, 2012 YES! My BF thinks he is the freakiest thing, he cant stand to even see the stuffed animals! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iheartpoco Posted March 10, 2012 #10 Share Posted March 10, 2012 He is a major creeper. I used to think he was a creepy giant lobster-monster. Then my sister told me that he's the "whale tale" personified, which I believe is actually worse. Funship Freddy Krueger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Tapi Posted March 10, 2012 #11 Share Posted March 10, 2012 What about the life size towel animal that they have now? I think that's worse. At least Funship Freddy has a facial expression. The towel animal looks like an oversized pile of dirty towels just walking around the ship...! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
askimdog Posted March 10, 2012 #12 Share Posted March 10, 2012 Freddy caused the most scare and the most fun of the cruise this past January aboard the Legend. The wife and I laugh about it now constantly. One day on board we were just wandering around the ship, stopping in places we normally don't go into..stores, chapel, night clubs etc.. Well, unknown to us a few Camp Carnival kids were in a night club using it for dance lessons. Funship Freddy was going to "pop in on them" It is hard to see in those costumes, vision is impaired... I was walking some marbled steps with my bad knee and Freddy came in charging to surprise the kids!...WHAM!!! Freddy runs into me, I fall back tumbling down the steps to the dance floor. I am not more sure what the kids looked at more, a Freddy wondering being confused what he hit, or the flailing 300+ pound man sprawled on the floor holding his knee and head. Funny now, looking back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LetzCruze Posted March 10, 2012 #13 Share Posted March 10, 2012 Is it just me - or does anyone else find Funship Freddy a bit creepy? Not as creepy as having the screen name "BJDownUnder" :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yvonne Posted March 10, 2012 #14 Share Posted March 10, 2012 I like Freddy! I had my picture taken with him on our last cruise, and I bought a stuffed one from the gift shop to take home. :) :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StingRaysfan Posted March 10, 2012 #15 Share Posted March 10, 2012 not as creepy as having the screen name "bjdownunder" :p yes! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scraphappylady Posted March 10, 2012 #16 Share Posted March 10, 2012 When we sailed the Legend with the kids (then ages 10 and 14) a few years ago, they re-named him "Freaky Freddie." Think it had something to do with that smile. :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
proudpatriot07 Posted March 10, 2012 #17 Share Posted March 10, 2012 I don't like him, but I think that towel creature is worse. It sorta reminds me of "Towely" from South Park... definitely not a good thing for your kids, haha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pink roses Posted March 10, 2012 #18 Share Posted March 10, 2012 I think he is cute. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silvercrikhix Posted March 10, 2012 #19 Share Posted March 10, 2012 (edited) Umm, errr, Yes! I think Funship Freddy is creepy and hideous! JMHO though. I think they could do much better for a mascot!! I'd design a much better mascot for them for half the price they undoubtedly paid someone to design him! Hey, Carnival......how about having a design our new mascot contest with the grand prize being an all expenses paid cruise in a suite on the ship/itinerary of winners choice!!! :D PLEASE???

lillian marie Posted March 10, 2012 #20 Share Posted March 10, 2012 Yes! Yes! and another Yes! He scares the living daylights out of my 4 yr. old. and she's almost platinum so she's cruised with us alot in 4 yrs. When she was 2 the person in the freddy suit came up from behind and tried to be cute, she was frantic and since them Freddy is not her fave for sure.

funinthesun1964 Posted March 10, 2012 #22 Share Posted March 10, 2012 I love Freddy! I always want my picture with him!! In fact, this past cruise, when I saw him, I ran up to him and hugged him, and said "I haven't see you since last February..I looked for you on the Ecstacy but couldn't find you.." LOL :o See my Victory review for the photo of me with Freddy! I am all smiles!:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slwillwin Posted March 10, 2012 #24 Share Posted March 10, 2012 We were just on the Dream and my wife and I kept saying that he was a terrible mascot. He is very creepy. He is basically the part of the ship that pollutes the air. He is the exhaust of the ship. While not much better we thought the towel character that walks around should be the mascot.

babyher Posted March 10, 2012 #25 Share Posted March 10, 2012 I think he has the eyes of a serial killer. I wouldn't turn my back on him. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
