Recent cruisers, I really need your help!

[shipcafe]

Just the fact that this topic has made it this long is beyond me . . .

[cru1s1ng]

The views are rolling along.

[TravlnMom]

How many men does it take to change the TP roll???

 

...... No one knows -- it's never happened.

[swannie]

I personally would insist that the end of the roll be folded into a graceful origami swan. After all, they make towel animals, why not toilet paper animals?

This is one thread which I hope the folks at HAL and on the ships DON'T read . . . . . . . or put on the bulletin board! :eek:

We'll find out when cabin stewards, in addition to asking what time you want tea delivered, ask if you're an "over" or an "under"!

"It sounds like English, but I can't understand a 'dam' word you're saying."

[tomc]

Yeah, but that has two meanings. Ask the steward, "Do you mean bathroom or bedroom?" If the former, smile; if the latter, no tip.

Aaaaaah ....... why not? I think it will afford a welcome breath of fresh air for them!:D

You sure about that one Tom???

Imagining an announcement in the HAL daily programs:

 

"Friends of Mr. Whipple meeting will be held in the aft unisex public restoom

at 1pm each day. Roll call optional."

 

OMG! I am dying here! I remember the Mr. Whipple commercials - the most ridiculous commercial ever... well maybe in my DH's case, not so....;)

[ekerr19]

I think (in memory of who outted the problem) the meetings should be called Friends of EKerr, or FOEK.

 

That will be easily remembered and easily identifiable on the Daily Program.

 

This is easily the funniest thing I've seen on these boards in months! We can call them the FOEKERS!!!! :D

[CHRIS3169]

What great humor!!! Thanks everyone, I just loved this thread. Of course I am a closet over the top person! Just the obsessive compulsive in me!!!

I just loved the Mr. Whipple! and the meetings.

Great job everyone,

Chris :)

YES!!! Instead of the usual boring announcement it can simply say:

"MEET THE FOEKERS!!!" at 5 pm in the Crow's Nest.

Most of us don't use a closet; we have a regular bathroom. :eek:

[trubey]

that's why they call it the "water closet" . . .

[Ziggy7]

Surely you jest!

hehehehe yes I jest :) However I do have this father-in-law that must have the seat lid down when he approches the toilet, or he will refuse to use it ;)

[CrabbyHarper]

Gosh! Im impressed! Here at home we use old Sears catalogs and corn cobs. HAL must really be an upscale line.

Ok now I have coffee all over my screen and keyboard! hehehehee :)

Perhaps we need to explain to you that, aboard ship, the Half Moon Room doesn't mean what you think it might!

dave: now I just dumped coffee on two keyboards!!!!! :D

Perhaps this could become another SOE feature.

 

Here's how it's done on those other lines:

 

Carnival - Hey, you should be happy you're getting TP at all! The brand we use is called "John Wayne". It's rough, it's tough, and doesn't take any crap.

 

RCI - Pages from the latest catalogs are pre-torn for you, and smoothed to avoid those nasty crinkles, in the port-o-lets found within convenient walking distance of passenger cabins.

 

Princess - takes the idea of pampering their passengers to extremes, and provides Depends to all passengers, since you can't find the friggin' restrooms on a Grand-class ship anyway.

 

Celebrity - X thoughfully provides an en suite restroom butler who will take care of unrolling the required amount of product, applying the product in the manner prescribed, and disposing of it properly. Royal treatment, indeed!

 

Cunard - We are British and wouldn't dare discuss such things.

[RevNeal]

Oh, GOD, I'm dying.

I just finished mopping off my display, I've sprayed my beverage of choice all over it, laughing so hard.

 

:D

 

TP should ALWAYS dispense from the bottom ... that way the cat doesn't unroll the whole thing while I'm away.

 

:D

 

Of course, since my cat isn't aboard ... loading the roll to dispense from the top is fine, too. Besides, it's easier to make that little triangle shape in the last square of the TP roll if it's mounted to dispense from the top.

Rob - coffee thru the nose is no laughing matter - but the Cunard and Celebrity descriptions put me over the top! "spot on" old chap!

I was wondering where you were, Greg!:D

One should expect no less when on the throne!
