Okay, I think I have something that tops the girls' pajama party.

It was an at-sea day on the Radiance. A friend and I had breakfast in the dining room, and when we entered the Centrum, we found a cake-decorating contest in progress. Simon, the cruise director, was emceeing the event, and the contestants were Captain Trym, the staff captain, and the head pastry chef. The contest quickly de-escalated into a food fight, with Simon getting the brunt of it. I feel sorry for whomever had to clean up the Centrum afterwards!

And if John Gotti shows up on my next cruise, I'm gonna have a photo taken with him! I'm even gonna encourage him to get some of those fake sparkly teeth! LOL I might get some for myself!

If John Gotti shows up on your next cruise, it may be because you're having a seance!

Yes, I was one of them.....1988 no drinking age on ship. I DID NOT PARTICIPATE IN THE FOLLOWING

 

I was wild, crazy, and just gross. Some of my classmates were never sober. There were two rooms that the cabin stewards would not clean. Anyone who needed to worship the porcline god went to those rooms. The entire two rooms were covered in vomit. I am not making this up. I could not walk by because of the smell.

 

Don't know what ever happened to the kids assigned to those rooms. Not sure I even know whose rooms they are. I do know that the smell was throughout the hall and they finally started having security take kids to the brig.

Oh, that's just gross! :eek:

Ahhh Yes....the "BING BONG" and then the garbled voice....now that's cruising!!!!

I can get that on the New York City subway system! LOL! Just kidding...

My favorite "odd" thing is feeling the rumble under my feet as the ship starts up its engines. The little girl in my head starts jumping up and down and yelling, "We're going! We're really going now!"

I have got to stop giving her sugar...

Not so funny, but odd, lol. On our cruise last year there was a woman wearing some sort of tiara thing, with brightly colored tendrells attached to it...she was also carrying a wand of some sort I believe. I believe she had at least a couple of different versions of it, and she wore them all the time. We'd see her in port wearing it, at dinner, everywhere, lol. Never really did figure out what the ocassion was, but she looked like she was having fun.

Sounds to me like she lost a bet...:D

I drink peppermint tea when the problem flares up. Works for me. (Carry it with you in case the ship's kitchen doesn't stock it.)

... "HONEY!!!" my husband yells out!! This got the rest of the people that weren't already paying attention, to look....

 

AAAGGHHHH!!!!

 

It was my battery operated TOOTHBRUSH that had turned on!!!!!!!!:o

 

I'm absolutely terrified of that happening! Like the above poster, I also remove the batteries from my toothbrush (and razor) before packing it. Because of my religious persuasion (born-again Christian) and the fact that I'm volunteer clergy for the NYC Dept. of Corrections, it would be especially embarrassing for me!

I was on the Enchantment of the Seas two weeks ago with a group of 130 single born-again Christians. (I didn't know there were that many of us.) One of our group showed up to dinner the first night dressed as a pirate. The next night, formal night, he showed up dressed as Elvis - right down to the really bad hair. I was sorry I forgot to bring my camera to dinner!

I was more embarassed by that than everyone knowing that we had made love in my mother's strawberry patch.

To quote Tony Orlando, "Who's in the strawberry patch with Sally?/Now that she's not picking them with me...":D

This might not be weird to some, but I have lived a sheltered life... on our Honeymoon on the Conquest last August, we were on board with about 800-1000 "Women of Distinction" ... black lesbians. You sure could tell which one was the boy and which one was the girl... Nice expensive mens suits, and awesome formal dresses... but too weird for us country bumpkins!! There was also 2 other groups and one was a church group... they were the unholiest people I have ever seen... fights constantly, puking in the floors, putting cigarettes out in the carpet. One kid was going from table to table spitting in all the ketchup bottles!!! GROSS!!!!

Makes me almost ashamed to call myself a Christian. And to think that they would have been the first to condemn the Women of Distinction!

I didn't see this one - I hadn't yet been on a cruise - but my mom told me about it.

Mom and Dad were on their first cruise, on the Carnival Victory. As Mom was unpacking, Dad went into the bathroom. Mom heard him flush, and then a scream followed by a string of swear words. Dad apparently didn't realize that you shouldn't sit down when you flush the toilet on a cruise ship - there's so much suction that you run the risk of getting stuck!

I think it had to be the women from my Christian singles group. We cruised on CCL's Fascination during Valentine's Day week, and we had a "pajama party" (separated by gender) on Valentine's night. The women, needing a spacious place to meet, were loaned a suite by one of the men in our group. Poor guy... he came back to find candy arranged in the shape of a heart on his pillow and "Thank You Ed" written in lipstick on the mirror. To add insult to injury, the next morning he found himself explaining to the neighbors why there were a dozen pajama-clad women in his room.

Meanwhile, my roommate collected all of the glitter confetti our leader had used as decoration and used it to "baptize" one of the men in our group, who was in the cabin next to ours!
