I cruise 4 cheap Posted July 18, 2010 #1 Share Posted July 18, 2010 If anyone is going on the Freedom in the next few weeks and want to have some fun, please do the following! Find the Head Light Tech (Andre Pflanzer) and tell him that his mother wants to know why he doesn't call home. He is a friend of mine and I will be coming down to sail with him at the end of August. If you do what I ask, you will laugh your ass off when you see the look on his face trying to figure out how you know he has not called his mom. You will further be entertained when you tell him his friend Dez put you up to it! Please, someone do this!!!!!!!!!:eek: and let me know how it goes over!

I cruise 4 cheap Posted July 18, 2010 Author #5 Share Posted July 18, 2010 rev can = revenue Canada it is our government run tax department much like the I.R.S. in the states. In case you didn't know, all employees (not sure about U.S. employee's) who work on a ship are like sub-contractors to RCCL and there for deal with taxation on theur own.

Rare Lionesss Posted July 18, 2010 #6 Share Posted July 18, 2010 I will do it. Leaving next Sunday. Where do I find your friend, confused with your clue on where to find him. Later Sue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I cruise 4 cheap Posted July 18, 2010 Author #7 Share Posted July 18, 2010 if you go to the main theatre, he will be the guy in the booth on the second level. He also will be at various functions on the ship where lighting equipment is used. There is also a tour they do onboard so that guest can go back stage and see the inner working of the productions shows, he does part of the tour to explain all about the lighting.

Rare Lionesss Posted August 2, 2010 #12 Share Posted August 2, 2010 Well, just arrived home to the great city in Northeastern Ohio. Your wish was granted. On Friday night I held up a sign on the window glass to his control room in the theatre. ANDRE CALL YOUR MOM!!! This man looked at me rather strangely. Really dumbfounded. The next thing you know Andre flies out of the back door of the control room and goes ". . . . really????" I go--- I was shopping at the store in February and buying all this summer stuff and the lady behind me goes--- boy, looks like you are going somewhere warm, I go well not till July. She goes where are you going I go on a cruise I tell Andre that the lady says my son works on a cruise ship. I go we are sailing on the Freedom of the Seas I tell him the lady gets all excited for a minute and goes I don't know why I am getting excited, he never calls. So she gave me your name and told me to tell you to call her. He has the look of terror and goes REALLY? Then I told him I worked for Rev, CAn. Then he looks suspicious. He goes, Am I really suppossed to call my mom? I got her a phone and she never uses it. One thing lead to another we talked, and I got a picture for you, and will post tomorrow. I am very exhausted. We got to have supper at the captains table, and also got a Bridge and Gally tour. I won the cruise critic prize. But I will share on other threads. It was fun doing joke, and I am sure you will have a payback. Later The tired cruiser. AKA Lionesss Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I cruise 4 cheap Posted August 2, 2010 Author #16 Share Posted August 2, 2010 I thank you so much for doing this! Yes I may be in trouble in a few weeks now when I go down for my cruise! I was surprised he did not call me on Sunday when he was in port going for his breakfast run. He must be plotting away! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lady_cruiser Posted August 2, 2010 #17 Share Posted August 2, 2010 Well you will just have to come back and let us know how your friend got even with you. And to think I almost didn't open this thread when I read your title. I guess its true that you can't judge a book by its cover or in this case you can't judge a post by its title.

I cruise 4 cheap Posted August 3, 2010 Author #18 Share Posted August 3, 2010 Sent Andre an e-mail just as a reminder that we will be there in less then a month now. Just some random stuff and then ended with a " What's new?". All I got back was SSDD "same **** different day" No name calling or death threats!

PeggyMc Posted August 4, 2010 #21 Share Posted August 4, 2010 Good times! Reminds me of our prank. We traveled with another couple who we have been passing a fruit cake back and forth with. We will stick it in the bottom of their freezer, in a mailbox, etc. We woke up last Christmas morning and it was hung from the tree in front of our house, then we had his doctor (who my MIL works for) give it to him following and operation. The same old fruitcake keeps showing up. Anyway we took it along on a cruise. They were celebrating their anniversary and had a romantic dinner planned at the specialty restaurant. We had taken the fruitcake along on the trip (gosh just realizing it would have been a customs violation) and wanted to get a waiter to deliver it to them for dessert. My husband and I were waiting in front of the restaurant earlier in the day, trying to figure out which waiter to give $20 to in order to have this done. The more we thought about it with the language difference we thought they would never get what we were talking about and someone might actually get sick if it got eaten. So just about then this guy, who I hardly knew, shows up. I had shared a table with him for breakfast. My dh and I are looking embarrassed and are laughing. He asks us what we are doing and we tell him. He had reservations that night at the same place and said he loves pranks and wants in on the prank. We hand the fruitcake over to him. So that night as they finished a romantic dinner this complete stranger walks up to them and presents them with a very familiar fruit cake. They were speechless.
