I was a passenger on the Serenade of the Seas last year, at around this time. Our stop in Barbados berth started off normally. We had signed up for a Catamaran/snorkel with sea turtles. However, unknown to us was that “Rum Punch” was available after the snorkeling. A group of young adults, early to mid 20’s, got a little too involved with the Rum Punch. Needless to say it was hilarious to watch them make fools of themselves. One in particular was on the front of the catamaran, wearing a ladies sunhat and more red than a Maine lobster confessing that he was a pirate. I assumed it was because he had lost a lens from his sunglasses and looked like he had an eye patch. There were two very attractive young ladies with their family aboard the catamaran. Of course it caught the eye of this motley crew, as these ladies were in bikinis. “Captain Red Back Sparrow”, as I called him, went over after we docked to “introduce” himself. He slurred the words “You girls are hot” in front of their father. There was one of the group, who obviously had all his ducks in a row and didn’t partake in the rum. He was a gentleman, shook the hand of the father and apologized for his friends actions. A very respectable and well mannered young man in my eyes. Regardless, he helped usher the drunkards onto the bus waiting to take us back to the ship. Some other comments were made about the young ladies, who seemed to like the attention a little…not their father so much.
After departing the bus and walking through the duty free area we noticed one of the crew running into a security guard, literally, on his way to the restroom…the restroom was in the opposite direction of the security guard. After this we made our way on to the ship. We made our way up the stairs and as we walked towards our staterooms we noticed that “Captain RedBack Sparrow” was passed out, sprawled on a common area couch. After that we didn’t see hide or hair of this group until dinner time. We decided that we would eat in the Windjammer that night. Two of the kids from this croup walked into the windjammer in bathrobes and slippers. They were thusly turned away but it was definitely a sight to see.
It is funny what alcohol can do to some people. I am sure there are funnier stories, this is one of those “You had to be there”. I do feel awful for the one of them that was well behaved, he was a good guy.
what is the wildest,craziest thing you've ever seen on a cruise?
