Ever met a celebrity on a cruise?

[Bennett'sCruise]

When we were in Vancouver .. just before our cruise' date=' we met Chris O'Connell, the last Bachelor (ABC). He was still with Sarah. I had a pix taken with them .. DH was completely embarrassed and got lost in the crowd.:eek:

Ooops, I meant Charlie O'Connell ... whatever:rolleyes:

Jerry Lewis, Davey Jones, Don Ho, Charles Manson's daughter (looks just like him), probably a few others but this was a long, long time ago.

Al,

I see you are from Scotland. You must know then, that the Dalai Lama was blown away with Dundee Cake when he visited your country. Were you in the Windjammer when he threw a hissie-fit because all they had were chocolate donuts. It was sad to watch as he exited yelling... "Where's my Dundee?... Where's my Dundee?"

Yeah I Was there Yogi. A sad sight indeed. The hissie-fit was bad enough, but when he levitated and relieved himself over the seafood section I decided to leave and have a beer. I also thought his orange Speedo was in bad taste.

Frankie Avalon had a photo session on the Legend of the Seas a few years ago on an Alaksa cruise. You should have seen the line of middle aged women waiting to have their picture taken with him!!!

 

Also did a country western cruise on the Norway in 1995. The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band and their families were one of the entertainers. They were very friendly and participated in most of the onboard activities just like the rest of us.

Vincent Price - it was on the Royal Viking Sky, a cruise from Montreal to New York in 1987, and over Halloween! We were told he sailed with them every Halloween week. He was not an entertainer, just on vacation. We spoke to him in one of the lounges one night, and he and his wife were on the same shore excursion as us in Newport, Rhode Island.

Hi Al,

It was actually the orange speedo (a leftover from Christo and Jeanne-Claude's "Gates" exhibition in New York last winter) that attracted Paris Hilton. I overheard her saying, "I love men in orange speedos!" As you say, though, it was in bad taste and violated the dress code for the Windjammer. He actually had to levitate to avoid being removed by security. Fortunately, he did volunteer for the evening's magic show, where folks got a big rise out of him!

I met one of the Osmond Brothers when we went on the Explorer last year.....I remember Merril, Jimmy, Donnie , Jay and Marie, but the other one I can't remember!!!!!:o

 

I think that was Tito, right?;)

[mkringen]

On another cruise Bowser from Sha Na Na had a band and preformed. One night in the atrium he had a autograph session. We got a signed photo and a picture with him. It was pretty cool.

 

Well this is my story exactly. So no need to re-type it. We were on the Enchantment in Feb. 2002. He was not the skinny, young thing anymore. He was very nice and I was happy to get his signed picture.

As another poster said, "Real" celebrities would not be on a cruise ship with the masses. They would be on their own chartered yacht. I see more in Hawaii when I am there, and since I live in Los Angeles and grew up in an "entertainment family", I have met many. I wouldn't consider many of the pervious mentioned people "celebrities".

Its a big deal for us low lifes though!

Samuel L. Jackson and his wife or girlfriend were on the Brilliance to Panama Canal this past April. I didn't meet him, but saw him a couple of times. A couple I came to know were in a suite 1 cabin down from him, and they spoke with him a few times. The man joked with me about how their room steward addressed him as Mr. Terry, his first name. But he always addressed SLJ as Mr. Jackson.

Now that is a real celebrity.

Just ignore me. I don't even know who have the people are that have been mentioned. lol.:)

[Travelgrrl]

Alan, Wayne, Merrill, Jay and Donny were the original group. Later Marie and Jimmy performed too.

 

Worshipped them as kids, along with the Cowsills, Bobby Goldsboro, Jack Wild, the Jackson Five, David Soul, and Bobby Sherman! Oh my! :rolleyes:

Travelgrll,

In the 80s I worked in a beer/wine store in Vancouver, BC at a bluesy pub. The entertainer in the bar was Billy Cowsill. He was pretty rough looking then, and I had no idea who he was. My sister (who is 10 years older than me), knew... the cowsills, the cowsills. I had no idea. He was their regular entertainer for a few years! Just him and his guitar.

[megsterl]

My aunt and Uncle were on a cruise one year and the olson twins were having a family reunion. That was still when they were younger and looked like young ladies and not 95 year old ladies. My aunt said that it was awful the kids were running mad all over the ship trying to find them.

[Travelgrrl]

Bill was one of the older Cowsill boys, my sister was sooooo in love with John Cowsill, she had all of their records and several scrapbooks and so on, all about the Cowsills. My other sister liked Donny Osmond, I got relegated to Peter Tork of the Monkees!

 

The Cowsills were the original family that "The Partridge Family" was patterned after - supposedly they were offered a change to star in it themselves but declined - leading to stardom for the (mostly) non-singing 'Partridges' - and the long slippery slide downhill for the Cowsills!

 

They were cool, though. I'd still like to see one of them!

[bigscrb15]

I was on the same cruise and you are correct that it was the Dalai Lama. Unfortunately, you had a few too many beers and confused your stars... it was Paris Hilton, not Pamela Anderson!

 

I too was on that cruise. Thank you for correcting him. I was worried that I dressed up funny that night, because I spent all night in my cabin with Pam and I am glad to find out that I didn't look like the Dali Lama. I would look more like Budah.

 

btw, does a Baywatch Marathon count as spending all night with Pam?

[wolfganghowell]

I am a celebrity and I haven't met any of you.

Come now guys, is it possible for two men to mistake one flat chested woman from one with gargantuan boobs???:eek: :D :p

Charles Manson's daughter???!!!!:eek: How in heaven did you know it was her? I'm not sure that's someone I would want to meet!

[DebbieO]

We met Charo a few years ago on a Hawaii cruise. She gives a terrific performance. We met John Davidson for the second time last month on the Serenade (Panama members' cruise). His show was also fabulous. He will be 65 next month. His hair is now natural (grey) but he still looks great. He took pictures with everybody the next day where he did a question and answer period in the lounge. Also have met the Fifth Dimension, several times, Bobby Rydell, Ojays (sp) and Frank Gorshin (sp).

[SerenadingSarah]

Who in the world is John Davidson?

[cbryteach]

John Davidson was from That's Incredible. I think there were other things before that. He was on my Serenade cruise last November. He was about 10 people down during the safety drill. The girl standing was like..."that is someone famous, who is it.?" I NEVER recognize anyone and his name came right out. He really started hamming it up. I saw his show, it was quite different. I think I heard he was a singer prior to That's Incredible, but that is really all I remember him from.

[It'sRC4ME]

We met Lorenzo Neil from the San Diego Chargers a couple of years ago on the Golden Princess. He played blackjack with my husband. We ran into him a couple of other times too, and he said Hi! He was so huge in person. The casino gave him a free T-shirt (for being famous, I guess), but it was WAY too small, so he gave it to my husband. He was pretty cool, just cruising with his wife.
