Attention Brits! Which U.K. celebrity would you like to see at sea?

[kelly@]

The glitz and the glamour of cruising have long attracted celebrities to the sea. In the early days, Cunard’s Queen Elizabeth 2 was home to the rich and famous such as Nelson Mandela and Elizabeth Taylor. Fast forward to the present day, and reformed boy band New Kids on the Block has made a comeback on a sold-out cruise on Carnival Imagination!

Many stars of the screen, the music world and beyond sign up as guest speakers or to make guest performances onboard. However some choose simply to take a cruise for their holiday.

Who would you like to cruise with? We have listed a few British celebrities who have already cruised, and others we would like to see at sea! Please do vote for your favourites -- and share your own suggestions!

Paul Whitehouse - he's v funny!

[Smiliey One]

Hmmm I cant think of anyone right now.

[Bluesy68]

Paul Daniels!!!! I know its quite surprising, but I seen him in an interview with him and he's so funny!

[Goldryder]

Been fortunate in bumping into one or two celebs whilst cruising already...Sheila Hancock (widow of John Thaw) was really lovely. She was with her daughters not long after John's passing.

 

If I do see a celeb on board, I leave them to their holiday. I cannot think of anything worse for them than people constantly harrassing them for autographs etc when they are trying to relax and have a break from their usual life. Best just to leave them alone to enjoy their holiday IMHO.

I very much agree with Goldryder. I wouldn't want to be harassed on my holiday either.

 

As for which celeb I would like to see - none of them. Celebs often have bigger egos than their status requires.

Mr.Bean.....

[spanner14]

Daniel Craig! Mmmmmmm........

 

On our first Ocean Village cruise, Tony Blackburn was on our flight and cruise....not quite in the same league as Daniel Craig! :D

[fridaythecat.u.k.]

Stephen Fry :D DH actually met him once on a cross-channel ferry (not quite the same as a cruise ship!) and he said that he was a very interesting person to talk to

[jocap]

Ah- I read it wrong; I thought you meant as entertainment, and I was going to put Victoria Wood. If they're on holiday- let them have peace and quiet.- jocap.

[WELSH WIZARDS]

I voted " Other " as you did not give the option " At sea....and left out there permanatly " , .... then I would have voted for Barbra Windsor. :rolleyes::D

[navybankerteacher]

Kenny MacKaskill ... in the wake, far astern.

[Dorset Cruiser]

Michael McIntyre - he's hilarious:D

[spanner14]

Michael McIntyre - he's hilarious:D

 

He's great - I swear he has a camera in our house when he's talking about the "man drawer"! :D :eek:

[mamasue]

David Walliams and Matt Lucas....

I think they'd be hilarious to cruise with!!!

[mgcarnut]

OK, I'll admit I'm from Northern California and not the UK, but I would pay extra to be on either of these cruises:

 

A Top Gear theme, with Clarkson, Hammond, and May in attendance. They could bring some of their more famous vehicles like Oliver the Opel and the Toyboata, which could be set up in the foyer. They could give lectures based on their books, show reruns of the show in the cinema, maybe even film an episode segment on the ship.

 

A Dr. Who cruise with David Tennant, Russell T. Davies, Stephen Moffat, Frema Agyeman, Billie Piper, Catherine Tate, and maybe a Dalek or two to make things interesting. Same ideas as above.

 

Cheers,

I would love to cruise with Paul O'Grady

[ehfl]

Ricky Gervais

[marco]

Patsy and Edwina from "Absolutely Fabulous" or Judy Dench and Patricia Rutledge, better yet...all four!

[wanderingjew]

I actually met Basil Fawlty on the QE2:)
