Create Your Own Cruise Bingo Cards

[dottyparka]

Someone bull fighting, a man wearing nothing but a cowboy hat, Richard Simmons riding a unicycle, a fire in the engine room..

 

Toreador, olé! But I don't think they'll do Carmen in the main theater.

[dottyparka]

Your "FREE" spot could be - a person who has no ailment riding on a scooter. (You will undoubtedly see the same person climbing in and out of the pool with ease.) Definitely the FREE spot though because you will not make it to your room without seeing this once you are on the ship.

 

This is a great idea for the free square! I've been trying to decide on an "easy" one for it--unnecessary scooter fits the bill!

Sounds like fun, but...

 

What are jorts and frass?

[Out of Iowa]

Our cruise earlier this month departed from Miami - lots of Europeans (Germans, some French, etc.) and there were a handful of children on leashes...in England, they are called "reins." Some children truly are safer that way. I realize it looks weird - but it makes sense in some instances.

[Shaded Lady]

Jorts are jean shorts- usually the daisy duke, very short cutoff raggedy types worn inappropriately by men, or persons of size, who really shouldn't be showing as much of themselves as they are...

 

FRASS I can't help you with.

What are jorts and frass?

 

Jorts is a kind of contraction for blue jean shorts. Frass is a contraction for front *ss, like if you have a kind of chubby low belly.

i thought your free square could be seeing a chogger - since you know with 100% certainty you will see this as soon as you walk out on to the lido.

Thanks!

 

I guess sometimes things get abbreviated unnecessarily :) Jean shorts isn't that hard to type (like DD, DH, DW, etc.) :D

Pretty sure in 12 CCL cruises I've seen everything on that list except the drunk pregnant lady... unless you count my BFF who got drunk but didn't know she was 3wks preggers at the time! Sooo technically... BINGO! I think this is a fun idea, as long as you aren't too obnoxiously obvious about it and no Oompa Loompas get their feelings hurt!

 

Here are a few more suggestions

 

a "Grill" of golden teeth

Tennis shoes/flip flops with a tux (forgot to pack the formal shoes!)

Woman under 45 wearing nylons

Full on prom do/makeup on a little girl

Mani/Pedi/Hair beads matchie matchie

Elderly couple holding hands

Teens on a hijacked rascal/scooter

Family of 4+ wearing same colored t-shirt/shorts on port day

Crew members making out

The "sniff and return" at the buffet... Someone puts a spoon full of something up to their face, smells it, and puts it back:eek:

A real Carnival themed Tattoo

Military/Fire/Police dress uniform on formal night (and buy em a drink!)

Camp Carnival "Parade of Children"

 

A Bingo will be fun, but I think I might take these and turn them into a weighted point scavenger hunt where you get more points for the pregnant drunk lady than an unattended child in an elevator. Then after we get home we can have a party to tally up the points and crown a winner while re-living the fun we had on our cruise!

Here are some

 

FUN SHIP FREDDIE!

Child in hottub with diaper on

Pier runners

Giant Towel Animal (I know they have a Towel elephant on the Dream)

Another cruise ship on day at sea

An adult on the waterslide

Window washer

 

Absolutley the FREE SQUARE needs to be "The cheap people removing tips at the Guest Services desk" That will be the FIRST thing you see getting on the ship.

[wiskt]

sorry double post

It is not very nice to be commenting on people using a scooter. You do not know what the reason is that they have to use a scooter.How would you know they have "no ailment?"

[adschmad]

need to add:

Farah Fawcett hairdo

"The Claw" bangs

Roots greater than 2 inches

Balls out (usually goes with man wearing Speedo)

"Gold" mining by an adult

Red Hatters (the womens' society, not men wearing a cap)

Someone at the internet cafe logged onto Cruise Critic (not from your group)

Couple making out in glass elevator

Cruise passenger dancing on top of table

Shipboard wedding bride dressed in gown

Wedding cake

Wedding proposal

Saints football jersey

[adschmad]

and...

Secret door by the stage

Secret door on Verandah deck

Quick Trip/Starbucks/7-11 coffee or soda mug

Crew member who speaks Russian/Japanese/Chinese, etc

Carnival Elation Name Plaque

Maybe jaded because I watched a very young, in-shape guy on my cruise last August who was in a handicap scooter with his 3 little kids riding on his lap avoiding lines at the port, saw the same guy avoiding lines and getting priority assisted seating at the theater --- but damned if it wasn't the same guy, who even my kids noticed, was at the pool with the same 3 kids on his shoulders, throwing them around and literally RUNNING to and from the bar getting drinks for he and his wife... (No scooter in sight). While I KNOW that some people need them, you cannot tell me that there aren't people who use them to work the system.

 

CruiserCindy - I in NO way meant my comment in mean spirit of any kind. But lets be serious - every person who uses a scooter needs it??? AND it can be obvious to those that pay attention. If you are playing Cruise Bingo - you are definitly paying attention!

Some of my personal favorites:

 

Woman in ridiculous dressy high heels on the beach

 

Lifesaving Ring with Ship's name

 

Picture with Captain and/or other ranking officer

[richstowe]

Right, I got. Carnival runs a photo scavenger hunt. However, this is not what we're doing. The items in question must correspond to a bingo square, so instead of marking B6 like you would in regular bingo, you would mark off "jorts" or "wedding."

 

As I asked in my original post, does anyone have something specific to Carnival or the Elation to add to our list?

Good idea but like the original better, Buzzword bingo also known as bull**** bingo. Only thing that kept long meetings bearable.

[michelle1836]

I'm looking forward to seeing your bingo cards. May need to "borrow" for my family's cruising with the inlaws in 2014.

[sara_jordan01]

Loving this idea! I may have to copy for our group cruise in October. Here is my only addition

* Someone eating in the buffet line:eek:

[dottyparka]

Y'all, this has turned into a HUGE list! I'll work on the cards tonight, so keep your good ideas coming. I've had to sort all the suggestions by catagory:

Cruise Fashion

Cruise Beauty

Behaving Badly

L'Amour

Dining

Ship Shape

Lagniappe

 

The two catagories where we could really use some help are l'Amour (balcony club, wedding proposal, etc) and Dining (buffet line cutter, plate of only bacon, ...). I look forward to reading more good ideas and THANK YOU to the folks who understand we want to just have a good time and not hurt anyone's feelings.

[trizzou]

Public vomiting

eating ice cream out of the machine

Public urination

Drink double-fisting

dancing on top of table

identical twins

 

Your bingo card is starting to look exactly like my cruise to-do list, LOL...:cool:

[ThisFemmeKat]

LMAO This is hilarious. I am sooo "borrowing" this. I cant wait to see your cards.. Please do post them. this topic has made for an excellent thread to read while bored at work.. :D And for the record, I have seen many of the above red highlighted items. Its not fortunate to see but does happen.. People do the craziest things on vacation. And my group of peoplewatching family and friends will get a real kick out of it.

[starsteveo]

A guy (not crew) with a huge ring of keys hanging from his belt loop (most likely jorts). What are the keys for? The ship?!
