Pagogo Posted January 16, 2013 #1 Share Posted January 16, 2013 We always meet lots of great people, and cruises are some of the best places to "people watch". We met a couple on the Explorer of the Seas 2011 Thanksgiving cruise named Ken & Rachel. Beautiful couple who were always dancing and wearing matching outfits. I mean everything matched from hats, scarfs, clothes ect... Rachel apparently makes most of their clothes. They cruise all the time and I'm told brought 12 suitcases on that sailing!

CENTEX CRUISER Posted January 16, 2013 #2 Share Posted January 16, 2013 We met a couple on the Rhapsody in April 2006, and became friends, never getting their last name , only known as Chuck and Gaye..I have posted a photo of them before trying to see if anyone knows them. They are from the Houston area. Anybody recognize them..? My wife is on the left. Photo was at Key West.. Uploaded with ImageShack.us Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cigar King Posted January 16, 2013 #3 Share Posted January 16, 2013 Well, I don't like to boast. ;-) Seriously, one of the things I love about cruising is the wide variety of people you meet. They're from all over, and have all sorts of interesting lives. Fascinating. The best thing about it, is this is a free commodity. Just open up a little, and be prepared to be amazed...and not just by me. ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LuckiStac13*Majesty* Posted January 16, 2013 #6 Share Posted January 16, 2013 My favorites...Gloria Estefan and Jon Secada....sailed with both a couple of times on the Majesty of the Seas. Gloria sat one table over from us at dinner each night with her husband and family. Never spoke with her, didn't want to bother her, but Jon I spoke with while having drinks at the Pool Bar. You never know who you will meet! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ICMDGO Posted January 16, 2013 #7 Share Posted January 16, 2013 On a cruise around Italy in 2010 I met a woman who had taught William and Harry (yes that William and Harry) how to ride horses when they were young. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

reney313 Posted January 17, 2013 #12 Share Posted January 17, 2013 We met Mario RCL's top cruiser. Me too! I'm sure we're not the only ones...lol I could be sitting with some famous star at dinner, in the bar, etc and would never know it... Every cruise we meet interesting people, some I wish we would have kept in contact with. But none where I would have stories to repeat on CC. One of these days...

Sam & Soph Posted January 17, 2013 #14 Share Posted January 17, 2013 Our first would be Viv and Bert "Mr.Hot and Sexy" from Miami. A very cool couple to be with all the time, we had a great time in St Martin. She has a heart of gold. The second was a great couple, Toni and Dave from Canada both Royal Canadian MP's from British Columbia. They were celebrating their 20 yr anniversary. Couldn't dock in St Kitts to renew their vows due to weather. Princess got their deposit back and performed it on the ship. We were invited and had a great time with them. Miss all of them.

Ally9802 Posted January 17, 2013 #15 Share Posted January 17, 2013 On our first cruise we had the greatest tablemates in the MDR. We jokingly called it the "engagement cruise" because two of the couples were recently engaged before sailing, and DH and I got engaged DURING that sailing. One of the couples are now two of our dearest friends and we get together several times per year (they live in Chicago and we live in Minneapolis). :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was this a much older couple?!? We came across a couple that you described on the Explorer 4 years ago!!! Always dressed to the hilt, dancing at the promenade, etc... Wonder if they get paid to cruise!?! LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOL, as soon as you mentioned the matching clothes I knew who you were talking about. We sailed with them on Ex also. I have actually come across pics of them from other peoples threads over the years. We have met so many great people over the years, not only on the ship but in the ports also.

Pomperaugrr Posted January 17, 2013 #21 Share Posted January 17, 2013 Every CC member I have met has been interesting. A few have really stood out in my mind over the years, but I can't single them out because what happens at The Quest, stays at The Quest!!! ;) Eric Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

poncho1973 Posted January 17, 2013 #24 Share Posted January 17, 2013 We met a man at dinner that claimed he was SUPPOSED to be the pilot the night that Lynyrd Skynyrd's plane crashed, but had swapped routes with another guy. The guy who died in that fiery crash in the swamp. I'm not sure there is any way to prove/disprove that because it's 35 years old and fairly obscure. So, I choose to believe him.
