It's funny how certain people get labels during a cruise. We were on the Carnival Inspiration with another couple, and we always laughed whenever we saw "Grandma." She was an older lady, probably 70 or so, who seemed to be traveling alone. She ALWAYS had some kind of drink in her hand, and was usually weaving from side to side whether the ship was rocking or not.

On our last cruise, there was one middle-aged lady who looked like she had just stepped out of a fashion magazine from the 60's. She seemed to always be dressed just like Jackie O., so that's what we started calling her.

On our first cruise, we went with a large group of people that I worked with, and someone from our group was always the center of every party or contest. When we'd meet someone and tell them we are with a large group, they would say, "Ooohhh...THAT group." LOL!

We sailed on the Carnival Tropicale a few years ago, before they sold her. We went out and got a good seat near the pool for the ice carving demonstration. There was quite a crowd, including an overweight, elderly couple sitting right next to the pool, very near the ice carver. The man was wearing a conservative pair of large swim trunks, but the woman was wearing a bikini that was totally see-through! :eek: I don't know if she didn't know it was see-through, or if maybe it wasn't really meant to be a swim suit, or if she just didn't care that everyone could see ALL of her. I mean, she was walking around the ice-carver, in front of every one, taking pictures! If she were young and/or thin, she would have been getting a different kind of attention, but everyone was just snickering behind their hands. Needless to say, not many people were watching the ice-carving demonstration. ;)
