Ex techie Posted November 29, 2013 #1 Share Posted November 29, 2013 (edited) It was reported on another popular discussion board the "If I were not upon the sea" skit will no longer be performed on any of DCL's ships. I for one feel that the characters (the Cruise Staff CM's) could have had their persona's mixed up or changed to refresh it after a decade onboard DCL, and a lot lot longer on other lines. Will anyone on here miss it, or was it something they will not? ex techie Edited November 29, 2013 by Ex techie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Scrapnana Posted November 29, 2013 #2 Share Posted November 29, 2013 I don't remember it being on the Fantasy last year, so I guess I won't miss it.:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
telynch25 Posted November 29, 2013 #3 Share Posted November 29, 2013 That really stinks! It wasn't on the Magic last month when I sailed... It was the perfect ending to every cruise I've done. Great laughs before going to bed and returning to reality. :( was looking forward to it on the Fantasy in 29 days...

moki'smommy Posted November 29, 2013 #4 Share Posted November 29, 2013 "Pub Night" has been decreasing over the last several years. I distinctly remember our May 2009 cruise (because of the group we were with), at which time they did "My Bonnie," "Doh-Re-Me" with a beer twist," etc. as well as "If I Were Not." On more recent cruises, the entire pub night consisted of the "If I Were Not..." skit. and that was sometimes canceled when Peter did not want to wear pink. Sorry to see it go--yes. Surprised, no.

wdwlvr Posted November 29, 2013 #5 Share Posted November 29, 2013 I'll miss it. We've enjoyed it many times, but especially in 2012 on the Dream when Trevor added a special little bit to our group. I hope they bring it back some day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ex techie Posted November 30, 2013 Author #6 Share Posted November 30, 2013 I hope they do too, but with the characters switched up a bit. There were complaints apparently onboard and from some on the other board that it was too risqué for some? ex techie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry but knowing that skit was onboard and he being required to be part of it wearing a pink tutu should be grounds for him to get over himself! :p ex techie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sick to death of having to be politically correct all the time, and having to kowtow to please the whiners. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the tiny minority of those have spoilt it for the vast majority, then that really is a shame! ex techie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sitzmark Posted December 10, 2013 #10 Share Posted December 10, 2013 I don't remember it being on the Fantasy last year, so I guess I won't miss it.:D I never saw it, but they made such a big deal about it on the other board I had to look it up and found it on youtube. I can honestly say that the humor I recall from my summer camp days was more sophisticated than that. I wouldn't call it offensive, but I was more amused by the people that think it's funny than I was by the skit itself. It really is pretty stupid. I won't be missing it.

SakeDad Posted December 10, 2013 #11 Share Posted December 10, 2013 When I worked on the Dream we never did it the 2 months I was there. But we did do it on the Wonder, but I will say we only did it once or twice in 5 months, it certainly was not every cruise. The one time I did it we switched ALL the gender roles which made it a LOT more fun!! Actually I seem to remember we did it for a crew party NOT for guests. :rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe being entertained by the cruise staff for a cruise and then seeing them makes it more humorous? ex techie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare CariBear Posted December 18, 2013 #15 Share Posted December 18, 2013 I'll miss it. We've enjoyed it many times, but especially in 2012 on the Dream when Trevor added a special little bit to our group. I hope they bring it back some day. Trevor is such a hoot! He did add an extra special something to the skit! I last saw him perform it in 2012 on the Dream.....and it was hilarious. I am going to miss it.
