[Cruising89143]

This was a thread on here about a year ago and it had some really funny posts. What is the funniest thing that you have seen or did on a cruise? I wish that I could find the original thread.

How about the funniest thing that ever happened to you? I have a good story...

We went to Blue Lagoon in Nassau and signed up for the snorkel with the sting rays excursion. We were thrilled to be actually swimming in the water with the heavenly, graceful, floating rays...until..."OUCH! Dang! Something stung me!" And the snorkel assistant dude replies, "No, Maam, you just got sucked!" So, that was my excitement in Nassau...I got a HICKEY from a sting ray in Sting Ray City at Blue Lagoon! But don't be frightened by my story! The "suck" was a result of too many people trying to feed the rays at the same time, causing confusion to the rays I'm sure, to the point where my knee must have looked similar to squid. Just don't hang around the stairs when the feeding frenzy starts up, and you should be fine! Better yet, stay away from the feeding alltogether, and you won't be mistaken for a tasty morsel! At least I had a great story to tell for the rest of the cruise...I had to, because everybody kept asking me what happened to my poor, purplish-red, swollen knee! Looked more like somebody swung a baseball bat at me! But I got to come home and tell everybody I got a HICKEY in the Bahamas! My husband wasn't too excited by that, however, since I went with just my girlfriend!

Anybody else with a similar experience?

As many times as I have been to Nassau and Grand Cayman, I have never done the sting ray excursion. Somehow getting into the water with these things just doesn't interest me. I have heard of people getting "hickeys" from them. One day I may try it.

At a returning guest party. We had been to Belieze that day. An older man (probably about 75 or older) walked in with his hair in braids. Now I do not havae anything against older men or braids for that matter but you have to have hair before you can braid it. It just made us all giggle.

I have a better stingray story. The last time I did Stingray City in Cayman, I accidentally sat down on the part of the boat where they were cutting up the squid. So my rear-end must have seemed like quite a treat to the rays below. They were sucking on my butt nonstop until I figured out what I did wrong.

Well here goes my story. We were on the Glory last year in Oct. The last night on board, Hubby and I had done alot and decided to go back to the room and start packing everything up. Well...I was putting our clothes back in the suitcases so we could get them out by midnight. After I got everything in there..I changed clothes and put on a t-shirt to sleep in. I also had laid out mine and his clothes for the next day seeing the suitcases where going to be gone soon. I went around and double checked everything to make sure I had what needed to go in there. So I closed up the suitcases...locked them...and out the door they went. Well they wasn't there 5 mins. when they came by to pick them up. The next morning..it was shower time. I took a shower...and went to get dressed. I reached for my bra and there wasn't one. When I pulled it off for bed....I laid it on the open suitcase and it went out the door with it. So there I sat on the bed with everything but a bra. Now this wouldn't be a problem if I was small chested. But I'm not. So I got my husband's undie t-shirt put it on and then my shirt over it. Plus I walked very close to him leaving the ship. When we got to the car...I reach in my suitcase and pulled one out and I put it on going down interstate. Wasn't to bad until my husband decided to pass an 18 wheeler. I got the funniest look from the driver. I just grinned at him and told hubby to speed up. Going on the Glory again this oct. Trust me...that won't happen again.

I posted the following 2 years ago and as of today it still stands as the funniest most embarassing thing thats happened to me on a cruise:

 

I swore I would never tell this story, but seeing as everyone else has a good one I will. This past April we were on the Grand Princess. It's formal night and we're at dinner in our formal gowns. My sister and I decided to take a bathroom break during dinner. The nearest restroom is up one deck. On the way back down we hit the stairs and I realized just a second too late that my 4 inch heel had snagged the metal strip at the top of the stairs. I yell as I'm pitching forward. My sister grabs me from behind. She and I both fall backwards. I fall on my behind and start sliding down the stairs. My lovely gold ball gown is up around my waist by the time I get down to the landing look up and see 2 guys in their tuxes trying to help and trying very hard not to laugh. I was laughing so hard I couldn't get up. We went back to the table with that story and couldn't even finish our dinner because we laughed about this the rest of the evening.

Another couple on our last cruise had a funny experience. He had just stepped out of the shower, left the bathroom to get dressed, and didn't have a stitch on. He noticed the Past Guest Party envelope had been slid under the door.

 

As he leaned over to grab it, he accidentally pushed it back out into the hall and couldn't pull it in.

 

He opened the door to get the envelope just as the Room Service waiter was about to knock with the morning's breakfast tray.

 

Needless to say the Room Service waiter was a little shocked to see a naked man standing there.

 

They sent a female Room Service waitress to their room the rest of the week.

Well, this comes straight out of our trip review I recently posted (you know, the 11-part novel?) Here goes:

 

My wife and I went to David's one evening for her birthday. I had been taking tons of pictures and wanted to snap some shots of the interior of this beautiful restaurant. We were sitting by a window, so I told my wife that I would be right back, grabbed my camera, and headed over to the large David statue. I took some pictures of the large mural in the main room, the atrium ceiling, and then took pictures of the vocalist and her partner playing piano. Because of the low light in the room, I was having troubles getting a good shot of the duo without a ton of blur. Finally I got it and headed back to the table.

 

As I sat down, Mona (my wife) asked what took so long. I said, "I was taking a picture of the pianist." Now, I must not have said that very clearly, because her eyes got really big, and she looked over at where I had been standing...which was right next to the towering statue of a very naked and anatomically-correct David. She then looked back at me with a very shocked expression on her face.

 

"Pianist!" I tried to explain, turning redder than my lobster tail. "Pianist! Piano player! Oh, man...." She just nodded slowly and went back to eating, a evil little smirk on her face.

 

Sigh....

On the Costa Romantica several years ago, I decided to check out the pool on the morning of day 2. When I reached the pool deck, there was a sign pointing to the left for the "American" pool and to the right for the "European" pool. Being a rube from Tennessee, I had no idea what this meant. I decided to check out the difference. I went to the American pool and it looked like every pool I had ever seen. Then I went to the European pool and there was absolutely no difference. Puzzled, I took another look at the American pool and then the European pool and still did not observe any difference. When I checked both a third time, an annoyed crew member asked if I needed help. When I explained my confusion, he turned bright red and nodded toward the European pool. Suddenly, the scales fell from my eyes and I saw that all the women were topless. When I turned back to the crewman, he exploded in laughter. As I beat a hasty retreat from the pool area, I heard him calling out in Italian to his fellow workers about the "Americano" amid great hooting and glee. The rest of the cruise, the friends with us kept asking me if I was going to the American dining room or European-the American casino or the European one, etc.

Our first day out on the Conquest last year I had met a older couple waiting for the elevator. The wife had one of those mobility scooters and she was trying to manuver it into the elevator and I held the door open for her. Her and her husband thanked me and we ended up chatting and they were the sweetest, funniest people. Now mind you my GF and our friends were not there so they didn't know I had met these people. throughout the cruise everytime I would see them we would stop and talk and joke.

 

The last day of the cruise we are carrying our bags off the ship. As usual I am the schlep carrying all the carry on bags and lagging behind the rest of the group when suddenly I see the lady sitting there on her scooter. I step on to the back of the scooter and yell "Follow that car" She said "You got it buddy" and off we go. The look on Gfs and everyone elses face was priceless as they though some nut just highjacked some poor old ladys scooter.

We were in Cozumel about a month ago, it was evening and the only ships left in port were the Triumph and Miracle. We headed down to Fat Tuesdays to see what was going on, had some drinks and watched the crowds. It was a mixed group of Pax and Crew, sort of low key (for Fat Tuedays) but everyone was enjoying themselves.

 

Out of nowhere comes a guy wearing only red bike shorts, blowing a police whistle, carrying an almost empty gallon jug of margarita mix in one hand and shaking a big maraca in his other. He danced with anyone and everyone who would dance with him. He worked his way around the crowd, blowing his whistle and shaking his maraca, jumped up on the speakers to the metal stripper pole. That skinny little guy pulled himself to the top of the pole, turned sideways and lowered himself to the bottom, he was in great shape. He picked up his whistle and other gear and went back to working the crowd, dirty dancing, jumped up on the bar and danced from one end to the other while they hollared over the intercom "There's NO DANCING ON THE BAR!" He ignored them and dragged other people up there with him.

 

At one point he set his whistle and other paraphernalia down and jumped into the water, swam about 50 yards or so out and back, picked up his equipment and kept right on blowing that whistle and dancing! We heard that he was an employee of Carnival and after about 45 minutes 3 Security Officers from Carnival showed up. They started to take him out, he tried to break free more than once.

 

We watched as they took him back to the ship, he stayed with them until they got to the other side of the little shopping area then he broke free and ran like crazy back to the ship, we don't know which one. Later on I was telling a waiter on the ship about it and he said the guy is a Carnival Cheerleader and they have him at all of the parties. I'd never heard of that before and don't know if he meant the Crew Parties or PAX Parties.

 

All I know is that I loved that little hairless monkey and am still laughing at the memory!

Vicar....that had to have been one of the funniest stories I've heard...for some reason and after a long week that just absolutely cracked me up. I could just picture you jumping on the back of this thing and yelling "follow that car"!!! LOL

 

We have traveled with my parents on several occaisions (they're doing the Glory with us in 4/05...anyway...my mother was 68 at the time and at that age little things make them happy. My Mom loved the grill on the ships and always had a watering mouth for the steak sandwich they served there. One day she decided she was not going to wait for lunh in the line for any amount of time.

 

She went on the Lido deck at 10:00 a.m., plopped herself down on the chair with a book and waited....and waited...and waited for the grill to open so she could get her prize lunch.

 

Well the grill finally opened and she was the second in line...by the time she had her "proze" in hand 40 more people showed up for the same. She got her sandwich and being so proud of it she couldn't keep her eyes off of it...you could see the drool falling from her mouth. She turned to go back and sit down and ran SMACK right into a pole, the sandwich went up in the air and face down on the deck. The look of neglect and disappointment on her face was absolutely hysterical....I think we laughed at this for months.

 

On another occaision we were leaving the ship for shore. We were trying to make our way through the ship and couldn't find the gangway. She asked a carnival employee where the "gangplank" was....this poor guy absolutely lost it.....

 

Let me see....this muct be Mom's day, she's given us so many good laughs....and the time in St. John she got locked in the womens stall in the bathroom and couldn't get out. She was calling for help and finally crawled out from under the door. She complained and the woman gave her and ice cream....LOL

 

I can't wait to see what's in store for us on the Glory.....LOL

Not enough time for crusin'!

[AllenF]

Well this is funny now but at the time it wasnt LOL. On our last cruise wife and I go to the room the door was open so we walk in put carry on stuff up put all are valuables in the safe and then head off to explore the ship and eat lunch. So after about 2 hours we go back to the room use SS card to open door and i noticed are stuff was gone safe was open and EVERYTHING is GONE. My wife is in full blown panic (I am too but i try to be calm for her) we call steward she calls security we go back over what we did and what we noticed different....well i noticed that in 1st room beds were apart in this room there together there are flowers in this room that i order for my wife 1st room they wernt there...So i am blaming flower delivery person in my mind now LOL. Well the ships security officer was very calm and very professional I look outside door and I notice the laundry room was there before it was the steward room.....it hits us we went to WRONG room the 1st time we had room 6385 and we went to 6285 since the door was open we did not use are room key to open it. SO back we head down the hall to room 6285 right as we get to the door the poeple who have the room are arriving the Security officers tells them we need to check the room she opens door and there is all are stuff we go in I open safe get all are stuff and start apologizing and shrinking in size as i go....talk about feeling like a complete idiot any way the moral of this story is with all my planning I went to the wrong room ....cause I knew 6385 was right across from the laundry and i commented to my wife when we 1st got there *hey where is laundry room* anyway it is very funny now but at that time we were a little upset....over the week we saw the Security officer and she just smiled at us we really gave her a great review on the comment card....she handled the situation very well unlike us LOL

Funniest thing I saw on the Triumph was a very large lady sunbathing on Lido Deck in Bikini and an old man in a small Speedo. Me being a large woman never felt self consious in my swimsuit the rest of the cruise. Most infuriating was having to sit by a couple each evening in the dining room that wore shorts and t-shirts every night.

 

[countercast]

On our last cruise in January, our teen boys' cabin was right across from ours. On the first formal night, we were all getting ready and the kids were constantly knocking on our door asking for a missing toiletry item or help with their attire, etc. Our cabin door seemed to be weighted to open inwards and needed a good push to insure it was shut after their retreat. After their last vist and with DH taking up space in the bathroom showering, I proceeded to undress on the bed, put on some all-over moisturiser, spend ages with my make-up, hair and a hand-mirror, then on went my lacy undies, stockings and then my high heels. Finally, walking to get my dress from the closet, I realise the door has of course been open for the last 25 minutes with Lord knows how many people shuffling past on their way to dinner - and who resists a peak into an open cabin?! I felt like such a call-girl and received alot of winks at dinner!

I ALWAYS checked the door after that!

My friend and I cruised on Celebration some years back and every day, we watched this group of 4-5 guys get totally obliterated by the pool. We soon learned that they were NYC cops. On the next to the last day, my friend and I were hanging out by the pool. Most everyone had gone to get ready for dinner but we had late seating so we had plenty of time. All of a sudden, one of the cops walked out of nowhere totally naked. He was immediately taken back to his room by security and told that he was not to leave the room until the cruise ended. All I can say is, he had a really nice body!!
