Carnival... Bring Back FUNSHIP FREDDY!!!

[mrBit]

Are you kidding me!!!????? It has been a while since we sailed Carnival and my 10 year old loved Freddy and got his younger brothers to be fans. So we get on the Dream, can't find Freddy and they tell me that Freddy is discontinued....

 

Oh... hell no! My kids were devastated.

 

They did like the force dancers and Dr. Sues but really wanted Freddy.

 

So Carnival, it does not take much... you still have all the costumes and such, just bring him out once and while.. at least for the kids.

 

Freddy is legend in my house... keep Freddy alive!

I have read that some kids were frightened of him... maybe that is why he isn't there anymore ??

[kelkel2]

oh that's so sad...I love freddy too!! It's kinda a running joke in my family but I love mascots and freddy is no different. I love getting my picture with him :(

Kids frightened? heck, I'm 39 and he freaks me out.:eek: That thing has got to be creepiest, worst idea for a mascot ever. I'm sorry OP and others, I have to say I'm glad to hear of his demise.:cool:

All good things come to an end. Never thought he was creepy but many people did.

Do they still have the towel elephant? Does he have a name?

[KPfromCT]

:eek::eek: Freddy creeps me out. Much prefer the towel animals.:D

OK, let's see if this works 9trying to post link to specific post in an old, closed thread that got off on a FF tangent. Sarge posted a particularly telling photo of FF - one that seems to reveal his true creepiness.

S/he was alive and well on the Imagination the end of a January.

Eww. That pic is disgusting. Shows his creepy true colors. I actually forgot about him waltzing around the ship until this thread popped up. We never did like him and always felt he was creepy--glad he's been "discontinued".

Amen. I said to DH and oldest DD(12) a few minutes ago, "Funship Freddy is no more." DD, without missing a beat said "Good! That thing was creepy!" That's my girl.:D And DH said, "What, did they finally figure out he was scaring people?" This is the best news I've heard from Carnival in years.:p

We had our photo taken with the elephant earlier this month on Glory. No idea if he/she has a name, though.

OK That is creepy!!!!!!

Sung to the tune of "Grandma Got Run Over by a Reindeer" -------

 

"Freddy got run over by a cruise ship........"

[JLee1973]

He looked like a twisted pervert funnel.

[mrBit]

lol that picture is too funny...

 

I can't believe so many don't like Freddy... i liked the mascot...

[KLD1019]

i had no clue who yall were talking about until i clicked on that link. DS got the stuffed "doll" in the gift shop. i thought it was cute. but clicking on that link and seeing it lifesize and "real", that sh*t is creepy as all get out!! i can see how kids are scared of him! *I* am freaked out by him!

[sassykitten74]

lol he was so creepy! My daughter was brave enough to get on stage for the talent show, but freaked when Freddy joined her on stage. He wanted to hug her but she wasn't having it!!

[Honolulu Blue]

I don't scare easily. Santa Claus, the Easter Bunny, Bozo and other clowns (even Biffo), Ronald McDonald, the Burger King... none of them have ever scared me at all.

 

Funship Freddy, however, DOES scare me. I can live without seeing it ever again, thank you very much.

There was a Fun Ship Freddy sighting on our cruise last month on the Carnival Pride
