tigerdadky Posted November 12, 2006 #1 Share Posted November 12, 2006 Ive read on carnivals website before and in the book cruises for dummies that Carnival has belly flop contest on some of its ships. I cruised the elation back in April and was all prepared to win me a boat on a stick for being the belly flop champ, only to find out that they didnt have one. Has anyone seen or won a belly flop contest. Does the celebration have one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cotton Posted November 12, 2006 #2 Share Posted November 12, 2006 I haven't seen this type pool game, except on RCCL. I quickly walked on by.:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoinCruisin Posted November 12, 2006 #3 Share Posted November 12, 2006 Have only seen the belly flop contest on RCL, hairy chest on Carnival. Where on the website did you read this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrdood Posted November 12, 2006 #4 Share Posted November 12, 2006 There was a belly flop contest on my May Ecstasy cruise, but that was the only one I have seen. I was all trained to take first place in September on the Imagination, but they did not have one. They did have a synchronized swimming competition on the Liberty last year...

Sarahjb001 Posted November 12, 2006 #6 Share Posted November 12, 2006 We just witnessed a great BF contest last week on the Elation. Honestly, I thought it would be really foolish, but it turned out to be lots of fun. The contestants were really hysterical, and the audience was very entertained! The winner was a heavy set guy, probably in his 40's, who did a back-flip belly flop. It was pretty impressive! :cool: SB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tigerdadky Posted November 12, 2006 Author #7 Share Posted November 12, 2006 How many day cruise was you elation cruise. I figure they only have them on 3 sea days cruises. I hope the celebration has one because I dont have a hairy chest but can do a mean belly flop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joepeka Posted November 12, 2006 #12 Share Posted November 12, 2006 I seem to recall that on our HAL cruise (that was a high alcohol content cruise for me so I can only say "recall" ;) ) they had a belly-flop contest that was pretty entertaining. For all I know, I was one of the contestants but have no photos to confirm... fortunately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
derf5585 Posted November 12, 2006 #13 Share Posted November 12, 2006 Do any people of the female persuasion enter the hairy ches whoops I mean the belly flop contest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarahjb001 Posted November 12, 2006 #14 Share Posted November 12, 2006 The Elation was a four day cruise from Canaveral. No, there weren't any women who entered the contest, now that you mention it! :) The contest was held on Sunday, which was our "at sea" day.

joepeka Posted November 12, 2006 #15 Share Posted November 12, 2006 Do any people of the female persuasion enter the hairy ches whoops I mean the belly flop contest As a matter of fact (again... only as I recall) the winner on our HAL cruise was a rather "ample" lady.
