What is the Funniest thing that happened?

[YFancyface]

What is the funniest thing that has happened to you on a cruise(or on one of the islands)

[Epaul3]

Ok... here goes. We were on a cruise with our 3 kids and my future daughter-in-law (who is a type I diabetic. She had just gotten an insulin pump which keeps her supplied with insulin 24 hours a day through a needle just under her skin. This was her first cruise.

 

We were all dressed for formal night and it was our turn to have pictures made. Just as we were all posed and ready, her pump malfunctioned and started beeping. Mind you, her pump is under her formal dress! Photographer is trying to figure out where the beeping is coming from... and we are all laughing while she's trying to figure out how to turn is off without taking her dress off! Needless to say, we still laugh about it to this day!

My old boyfriend slipped and fell on Dunn's River Falls. He slid down quite a good distance. The guide that was video taping asked him to do it again so he could get it on film. LOL. The rest of the trip people kept asking him if he was the guy that fell down the falls.

On the old Rotterdam V, there was a lounge--the Skyroom--atop the ship that had two elevators that opened directly into the room. One evening, a gentleman was well pickled and could not walk across the floor without falling down. Finally, seeing enough of this, two stewards picked him up, called an elevator, and was taking him to his cabin. Very shortly, the 2nd elevator arrived, out popped the well preserved gentleman, followed a couple of minutes later by the two stewards in the first elevator, surprised to see him back already. For awhile, the gentleman stayed on his bar stool, but, soon, he again found himself face down on the floor of the lounge. The two stewards again picked him up and this time. we were told, took him to the brig until he sobered up.

 

Those of us witnessing this had quite a laugh, particularly since he beat the Stewards back to the lounge.

Didnt happen to me but my DD 19 on the Glory this past June 13th sailing. She was swimming in the ocean in Jamcia when something bit her on her "ta-ta";). It was hurting & stinging pretty bad. They were on a private beach, so she went to the nurse. The nurse told her top go to the bathroom & rinse her "ta-ta" off & gave her some cream to apply. DD goes into the restroom stall, proceedes to take her swimsuit top off, rinses off & them realizes that there is a window . Looking into the window is about 6 little Jamacian boys laughing like crazy.:eek: Needless to say, they got a little show!!

This past April we were on the Glory, we were all hanging out on the deck enjoying the day, my BIL bent over to pick something up and his shorts split from his waist to the hem!:eek: It was sooo funny! There were some older ladies sitting next to us and they were cheering him on and offered him a dollar to show them more. It was funny!

[WishIwasOutThereNOW]

i called out the late night comedian on glory once for stealing a richard pryor bit (@ his aftershow cd sale thing). he didnt think it was very funny but i did. and he agreed that every comedian wishes that he could get on stage, if only once, and be as funny as richard pryor.

On one of our past cruises, my wife and I sat across from a table with 10 young men (college age). Their window table offered a great view of the ocean. During the meal, two of these guys got up and went out on the deck and began acting as though they were primping themselves in front of a mirror! They were really acting stupid. But the funny part of this was that they THOUGHT they were doing it in front of their tablemates. In fact, they were about 2 tables down from theirs and the people sitting here, and those around them, got a pretty good laugh at them. They were a little embarrassed when they returned to their table. "Stupid is as stupid does!"

We were on a 4x4 self driven caravan jeep tour in Alaska. We were being asses and slowing down and letting the caravan get ahead of us so we could floor it and race through puddles. We all had 2 way radios in our jeeps so we were in communication the entire time. We were whooping it up, awed by Denali and did not notice that the caravan had stopped to take pictures. My DH had to stop short to keep from rear ending the jeep ahead of us and we ended up in a on our sides in a ditch. All we could hear over the radio was "I knew those guys were gonna be trouble" People were running over to us, we thought to see if we were ok, but really to take pictures of the numbskulls on their side in a ditch. They had to winch us out and we had to buy a round to everyone at the next stop. Of course as it ended up the driver was not a fault, the navigator should have been paying better attention. :o

We laugh about it now. My wife's c-pap machine's wire quit working so I got a wire cutter from the purser's desk and was going to fix it. Assuming she unplugged it, I went to cut the wire and BANG! and a big spark scared the crap out of me and melted the steel wire cutter and blew a fuse in our cabin. We called maintainance and they gave my wife a brand new cord for her maching. I damn near started a fire and sunk the ship or been electricuted.

On my last cruise on the Valor, my friend Liz and I were sharing an interior cabin, which everyone knows is PITCH BLACK! It was like 3 in the morning, and I must have been having a dream. I could have sworn that there was someone standing over my bed, staring at me:eek:. I screamed really loud apparently during my dream. This scared the heck out of my friend Liz who was sound asleep in her bed. She woke me up and I thought she was screaming. I told her somone had been staring at me. She got nervous, and turned on all the lights and checked the entire room to make sure that no one was in there besides us! After making sure there was no one around, we couldn't stop laughing! We thought for sure our friends in the next cabin over heard our craziness....but much to our surprise, they didn't!

Here's a two-fer for you all:

 

1--On a Princess cruise in the 80's with Mom, brother, and grandmother. The seas were very rough, and gradmother got very seasick during the evening and had to leave dinner to go back to the cabin. The next morning, she awoke to realize that somewhere along the way, she had thrown up her lower false teeth. So, she was toothless on the bottom half of her mouth. And--she was oh-so-proud to tell everyone about the fact that she had thrown up her teeth and lost them.

 

2--On a recent Carnival Legend cruise, we were having trouble with our in-room hairdryer. (OK--do any of those hairdryers ever work correctly?) The hairdryer would get so hot it would eventually shut itself down. One evening as I was drying my hair, the hairdryer POPPER loudly and shut down, while at the same time the lights went out in our cabin. I threw open the door to find the lights out on our deck. I thought "OMG--my stupid hairdryer caused a fuse to blow and take-out all the electricity on our deck!" Not-so-much, it was a ship-wide power outage.

Hubby and I took a cruise 2 years ago with 2 other couples who happen to be out neighbors. One night we decided to fill out the door card to have breakfast in the morning. We ordered 2 coffee and 2 danish. Well the knock on the door came the following morning and much to our surprise the waiter was carrying a tray LOADED with food. I tried to explain that I only ordered 2 coffee and 2 danish. He said "no" and showed me the slip that had several items checked off.

 

When we met up with the other couples we of course told them what happened. We had just assumed that it was some of the younger crowd on the cruise playing a practical joke. It wasn't until about 6 months later when we were at the neighbors house when the one husband let it slip that they were the ones that added the extra checks. We are cruising with the same 2 couples in 60 days and needless to say I am looking for good practical jokes.

On our first cruise are first stop was 17 hours in Cozumel, from 7:00 am to midnight. We were told the next evening by the CD that he was call to the bridge at 3:30 am for a phone call from shore. A couple had just gotten back to the pier and the ship wasn't there, and wanted to know if they were going to turn the ship around and come back for them. Uh, No!

Last week (june 29- july 4) on our cruise our kids were at camp carnival and my wife was sea sich so there I sat all alone on FORMAL night, dressed up for my wife who couldn't make it and a table of 8 ladies hit on me :eek:

 

I told my wife (she says she belived me) and the next night they confessed they did and she took a picture of me with them :eek: with their camera.....

 

Boy was I embarrassed!

This past May I was on the Carnival Fascination. While we were docked in Nassau I grabbed a beer and a DOD from the bar on my way back to the room. While the bartender was mixing my drink I greeted an older couple that was sitting at the bar. The women turned to me to ask me what cruise ship I was on. I slowly answered that I was on the Fascination. She then happily replied that they were on the same ship. It took me a moment to think of an answer that wasn't insulting, I finally answered that we were ON the Fascination. That tidbit of information didn't seem to penetrate her brain. I laughed all the way back to my room. I am still not sure if she was drunk, just confused as to where she was or both.

Great stories so far, OK here is mine from my 40th BD last year in St. Thomas. I wanted breakfast on the balcony so we ordered room service. It arrived in time and we were already at St. Thomas. I took the food to the balcony table and forgot the coffee. I went back to the room to get the coffee and turned to go outside and saw four large seafulls on the balcony eyeing my food. Needless to say, I enjoyed my breakfast looking at the seagulls through the window.

you had me rolling with these!!

[cccer]

OK my wife just reminded me of another episode on the seagull cruise last year. On the last night she went to bed early and I was in the casino. I went up to take the luggage out. I saw she had some cloths on the suitcases so I packed it up and put it in the hallway. To early in the morning I hear a scream "where are my clothes". I had left her with a small nightgown and thats all. As our son told us, I heard her make sounds I have never heard before. She was pissed:eek: She said go downstairs to make this right. The bad part was I did not fill out the luggage tags thinking how can they lose our luggage we're on a ship.

 

Anyway, I go down to the desk and tell them the story. Lady says they can give me a tee shirt. I explain that she has little else to wear, luckily her supervisor comes out and asks me for description and color of luggage. She comes back in about 15 minutes with our suitcase. Wow I almost hugged her.

 

I brought it back to the room and luckily she was calmer. Our son had suggested I wear her nightgown to disembark while she wears my clothes.

That would have made for an interesting disembarkment. I will not do that again.

I was on a cruise with my sister in the mid-90's and I got up from my lounge chair to get a drink, headed back, leaned over my chair to adjust my towel and *POP* went the clasp on my bikini top! The girls popped out and said hello! All in front of the single, elderly gentleman that sat at our dining table, plus a bunch of other ladies and my favorite poolside waiter. Bonus was that night the gentleman bought me a bottle of wine at dinner and I never had to wait for a drink poolside again!

[sakapfet]

On our last cruise, Inspiration, my wife wanted me to take her pictures as she was coming down the slide. In front of her there was a very well endowed lady and as she was sliding down, she lost her bikini top. Here I was camera in hands as our eyes met while she was trying to cover "Thelma and Louise" with her hands ;)

[sokz]

[Gilesgirl8]
