Kindlychap Posted December 8, 2006 #1 Share Posted December 8, 2006 Could someone be kind enough to explain what a "funnel run" is? Surely it isn't running up to the top and waving? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stowaway2k Posted December 9, 2006 #2 Share Posted December 9, 2006 Could someone be kind enough to explain what a "funnel run" is?Surely it isn't running up to the top and waving? Almost! :eek: What a funnel run is, is against all rules and regulations for passenger safety and security. Don't do it! Ever. :rolleyes: We'll let you in on it at the WCC get-together...;) (that is, if you make yourself known to us...) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
transat_jon Posted December 9, 2006 #3 Share Posted December 9, 2006 Found these pictures these pictures on the web : http://myweb.tiscali.co.uk/greatmindspace/usa_jan06/usa06d.htm Kind of gives the idea. One major rule is make sure it's raining at the time. I have to re-iterate Kyle's advice of it being inappropriate behaviour for responsible adults.

cunardqueen Posted December 9, 2006 #7 Share Posted December 9, 2006 Kindlychap, to quote from a recent posting of 21st October.. Thought l might be able to re create the experience on my recent cruise, we climbed the stairs and found the door. Locked with one of those combination locks so no Funnel run this time... Perhaps if somebody knows the combination... l can show you next year? As l was seated at the Captains Table this cruise I did ask Captain Bates, he just smiled and said that with the kennels hardly being used, there really is no reason for passengers to be up there.. Funnel run or no funnel run!!! Quote:and maybe someone (hint) will explain what a "funnel run" is... Bobby1119, I was introduced to the funnel deck, late one night when the sun had set and the stars were out l was shown this place, a place we speak of in hushed tones , my escort an officer and a gentleman, asked me to close my eyes for a moment, which l did, and when l turned round, low what a sight l did see when l opened my eyes, There it was in all its glory big and bright and glistening red, l extended my hand and touched this it was throbbing, such power could only be imagined, were were racing along at 27 knots and so was my heart . It was a sight to remember,and we were not alone!!!! there were some others in the area, with the same idea... Im quite sure this is not the same as the "funnel run" but ever since that night l cant help but see the Funnel in a whole new light Bobby, your onboard for 3 months, if this happens to you, CALL ME ROTFLMAO Cunardqueen __________________ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stowaway2k Posted August 20, 2007 #9 Share Posted August 20, 2007 As the Funnel Runs are a thing of the past, and forbidden in the first place, here are photos of sites seen on a Funnel Run, for those without the chance to experience the fun of a run to the funnel... http://travel.webshots.com/album/560353671ICAiWV Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One major rule is make sure it's raining at the time. I have to re-iterate Kyle's advice of it being inappropriate behaviour for responsible adults. Looks like a bunch of reprobates to me. Maybe even terrorists and foreign agents! Probably out to steal the funnel, secret it in a LARGE suitcase, take it home and sell it on EBay!

It was nice of your crew friend to take those pictures for you and send them to you! <G> <wink, wink, nudge, nudge> Karie, who declares, "Why Ah don't know ANYone who would DO such a thing!

They were running from the brig after an escape, yes? And thought the funnel would be the best place to hide? Shouldn't they have worn red?

dak Posted January 12, 2008 #17 Share Posted January 12, 2008 Likewise, I have absolutely no idea what a Funnel Run is and despite anything that Annette may say, I shall deny ever having been anywhere in the vicinity of the Funnel. I have been at the Funnel Bar. David Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
