sail-a-bration Posted May 30, 2008 #1 Share Posted May 30, 2008 Please tell me that they do not do the Hairy Chest contest on HAL ships. I just do not think it is entertaining watching a bunch of intoxicated hairy guys with beer bellys try to pick up an over weight woman and carry her around. It would not be so bad except they show it over and over on the ships channel:rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hammybee Posted May 30, 2008 #3 Share Posted May 30, 2008 No hairy chest and no ship on a stick rewards. HAL has however, been known to do a "toss the rubber chicken" contest. It was, SRO, which says something- not sure what. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old As Dirt Mom Posted May 30, 2008 #5 Share Posted May 30, 2008 What is a "toss the rubber chicken" contest? Eremita It's a very complex, difficult, and highly strategic enterprise:D;) Drumroll, please...... You try to throw a rubber chicken into a pot! If you succeed, you get some "dam" dollars, which you can use to redeem for prizes towards the end of the cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sail-a-bration Posted May 30, 2008 Author #6 Share Posted May 30, 2008 I hope children are allowed to participate, it sounds like something they would really enjoy. Meaning the chicken toss not the hairy chest contest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Copper10-8 Posted May 30, 2008 #7 Share Posted May 30, 2008 No, but they have SeaQuest on the next to last morning and you can see women of all ages taking their bras off:eek: and men of all ages walking around in their jockey shorts:eek: , unsuspecting bar waiters being carried on stage:cool: and fine folks taking their dentures out of their respective mouths:eek: . Lots of fun!:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

martinimadam Posted May 30, 2008 #9 Share Posted May 30, 2008 Copper10-8, I do hope you're kidding! Do they still have the shipbuilding contest? That's kind of fun to participate in and/or watch... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ger_77 Posted May 30, 2008 #10 Share Posted May 30, 2008 No, but they have SeaQuest on the next to last morning and you can see women of all ages taking their bras off and men of all ages walking around in their jockey shorts , unsuspecting bar waiters being carried on stage and fine folks taking their dentures out of their respective mouths . Lots of fun! They didn't have SeaQuest on the Maasdam, but the trip prior to that on the Rotterdam it was just a riot. I wish I'd had a video camera because the clothes were absolutely flying onstage! Smooth Sailing! :) :) :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Copper10-8 Posted May 30, 2008 #12 Share Posted May 30, 2008 Copper10-8, I do hope you're kidding! Do they still have the shipbuilding contest? That's kind of fun to participate in and/or watch... No Madam, I'm not kidding! But I'm here to tell you that it's a hillarious experience to watch and, since it's usually right before the disembarkation talk by the C/D, a great way to wind down your cruise. And all that just for the honor of your team (depending on where you sit), the Atlantic or the Pacific to win, nothing else Shipbuilding contests are still being held but are depending on how many pax want to participate - there's some great threads here with pics of some winners - I think the poster's name is Cruisinetta Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krazy Kruizers Posted May 30, 2008 #13 Share Posted May 30, 2008 On several of our cruises we have not had either the shipbuilding contest or SeaQuest. Really depends on the itinerary and if the CD plans them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RuthC Posted May 30, 2008 #14 Share Posted May 30, 2008 I haven't had the opportunity to attend Seaquest in a few years. :( Gosh I miss it. It's fun! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just do not think it is entertaining watching a bunch of intoxicated hairy guys with beer bellys try to pick up an over weight woman and carry her around. It would not be so bad except they show it over and over on the ships channel:rolleyes: They had some kind of "big belly" contest at the AFT pool on the Amsterdam in December. It was amusing.... alot of beer drinking guys. :) (I saw a few women who poured themselves into "formal evening wear", that could have taken the prize, though! Looked like stuffed sausages, but, hey.... they were "dressing formally". :rolleyes:) Didn't see anything else either on that ship, nor the Volendam on the year prior that was anything "Carnival Cruise-Like". For the most part, you'll find a calm, laid-back atmosphere on Holland America. We love it! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iancal Posted May 31, 2008 #16 Share Posted May 31, 2008 Well, they had one on our Westerdam Feb. cruise. VERRY tacky. After that we were expecting a belly flop contest but it did not happen....fortunately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
babyher Posted May 31, 2008 #17 Share Posted May 31, 2008 Oh its not as bad as you think. On our last cruise we had the winner of the big belly contest and the hairy chest contest as a tablemate .......lovely woman :) :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FoxyTerrier Posted May 31, 2008 #18 Share Posted May 31, 2008 DS is currently on RCC Freedom of the Seas with this GF's family. He sent an email yesterday saying he got talked into a hairy leg contest. :eek: He also said he misses the luxury of Holland America. DS is 20 now but grew up on HAL ships so I guess he's really growing up if notices things like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looked like stuffed sausages, but, hey.... they were "dressing formally". :rolleyes:) I know what you mean. There is more than the design/fabric of clothing involved in dressing properly ... not just formally. I also am not interested in HAL introducing hairy chest contests. I could never qualify! :eek: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
