Funniest Things Said By Captain

[Cruzface]

This came up on a different thread. Sometimes the Captains will joke around during their announcements. For example, on RCCL Grandeur Captain Rob announced that we were headed to "Costa Maybe, because maybe we'll make and maybe we won't."

"Don't worry folks, it's just a little iceberg"

When asked why the ship was rocking --- He replied "Too many honeymooners onboard"

At a Q & A the captain was asked " Who's steering the ship with you here "

 

The Staff captain flip's out his I-Pad and said " We have an App for that "

When towed away by tug boats from the quay in Civitevecchia: "On behalf of NCL we want to express our grattitude to have been able to make a contribution to the local economy" (Michael Hilden on the Gem in 2008, expressing the fact that towing away really is not needed for a ship with thrusters)

The Staff captain flip's out his I-Pad and said " We have an App for that "

 

Our captain at the meet and greet was asked the same question. His response after pulling something out of his pocket was "remote control".

Upon leaving the port of Bergen, the Captain announced that four people had not made it back on time and he hoped that they had a good camera so they could take a nice picture of our ship as it sailed away.

At the conclusion of the muster drill, the captain said on the PA system, "If I can remember where I put the keys to this ship, we shall get underway!";)

Someone could write a book of things Captain Lars has said.

Things said by Captain Lars Bengtson:

 

"We are sorry to see you go and wish you a safe journey home, unless you are visiting your Mother in Law in which case I offer my commiserations."

 

"What the hell!" Silence "technical malfunction happened"

 

"I am told the ship was really rocking last night. I missed this as I was asleep in my bed"

Captain Lars is HILARIOUS!

 

[GORDONCHICK]

Captain Lars is hysterical! Especially when his wife is on board with him - he talks about her and her shopping all the time. But my favorite was the first sea day and he was talking about guys going to the buffet - he said, "Men! Put a shirt on! No one wants to see your underarm hair, especially IN the buffet!"

I have no idea who the lady in the second picture is but I recognise Captain Lars and Armando. They seem to be having a cooking competition and based on what I know of two of the people involved I bet it was hilarious.

Captain Lars Bengtsson is on The Spirit. Before that he was on The Pearl. He is very very funny man. One of is very favorite sayings as he begins his announcements is: "This is a voice from above". It refers to the fact that the PA speakers are in the ceiling.

Hmm, I've been on both...I don't remember him on either so maybe he wasn't there at the time I was. I thought those pictures of the ship looked familiar. :p

No he wasn't on those ships when you sailed them. He was on Pearl for 3 years until autumn 2011 and then joined Spirit after his break and is on Spirit currently alternating with Vanja Litovic who is a lovely man and funny too..

 

I have sailed with him 3 times, for which, when I told him this, he said he was very sorry for me. Not sure if Captain Lars and/or Armando DaSilva (Hotel Director) will be on board when I sail in a little over 3 weeks time.

Great stuff. I would never know who Capt. Lars was but he sounds awesome.

+1 for the Captain Lars fan club!! :D

Thats great that everyone loves him, but does anyone remember anything else funny that has come out of him?

[fayfam]

Captain Lars was on the Pearl when we cruised the Pacific Coastal May 2011. He was so funny, always announcing something. One day he said " I would just like to report that I have nothing to report."

 

Count me in for his fan club.
