Cruizinman Posted September 29, 2013 #6 Share Posted September 29, 2013 Hey, hey... Love, love... Yeah, yeah... Uh huh... Freddie's dead. That's what I said... Let the man rap a plan; 'said he'd send him home. But his hope was a rope, and he should have known. It's hard to understand; there was love in this man. I'm sure all would agree, that his misery, Was his woman and things. Now Freddie's dead. That's what I said... Everybody's misused him; ripped him off and abused him. Another junkie playin'; pushin' dope for the man. A terrible blow, but that's how it go... Freddie's on the corner now... if you wanna be a junkie, wow... Remember, Freddie's dead... We're all built up with progress, But sometimes I must confess, We can deal with rockets and dreams, But reality... what does it mean? Ain't nothing said. 'cause Freddie's dead. Hey, hey... Love, love... Hey, hey... Yeah, yeah... Huh huh... Rip , but he could come back to life ,again :eek: ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ata1976 Posted September 29, 2013 #8 Share Posted September 29, 2013 Awww. My son liked him. We have a couple of pictures with him, the stuffed animal, and a book and a tshirt they gave out in the kids club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigRed93 Posted September 29, 2013 #11 Share Posted September 29, 2013 One can only hope. He was really creepy. LOL I guess the kids liked him for the most part. I think the giant towel animal elephant should be the mascot. Love him!:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the giant towel animal elephant should be the mascot. Love him!:D I've never seen that one. I saw a few "towel animals" during a Halloween cruise though.

Pellaz Posted September 29, 2013 #14 Share Posted September 29, 2013 Gotta say I'm not too broken up about this. Freddie's facial expression always DID strike me as being creepy...and I see I'm not alone. :eek: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kangaand2roos Posted September 29, 2013 #15 Share Posted September 29, 2013 I just googled the giant towel elephant and he is adorable! I won't miss Freddie either, esp. if the elephant takes his place! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Surfwench Posted September 29, 2013 #16 Share Posted September 29, 2013 Another vote of approval for retiring Freddy the split head freak. Saw towel ellyfant on the Breeze ..... he's adorable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
funinthesun1964 Posted September 29, 2013 #17 Share Posted September 29, 2013 I guess I'm in the minority here. I like Freddy a lot better than the huge towel animal. That just seems gross, imagine keeping that thing clean. It would have to be laundered in bleach every couple of hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Tapi Posted September 29, 2013 #18 Share Posted September 29, 2013 (edited) Personally, I think that the towel animal looks like a member of an organization whose members wear white robes and promote the supremacy of one race over the others. Fun Ship Freddy creeps me out too, but he's an icon of Carnival cruising. And as creepy as he is, kids seem to love him (I know mine do. My son was even asking for Fun Ship Freddy on our last Holland America cruise). Edited September 29, 2013 by Tapi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To me the towel elephant looks like a mouse and elephant mated and the result is this strange new mascot. When you see the whaletail from a distance you know instantly you're on vacation. While the towel animals are cute the first few cruises, after that they're just something we throw on the sofa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mysticks1 Posted September 29, 2013 #21 Share Posted September 29, 2013 I am glad they are getting rid of Freddie - I always thought he was a little creepy. My daughter wouldn't take a photo with him. I love the new towel animal mascot. I think they need to add something to it with the logo though.

elliair Posted September 29, 2013 #22 Share Posted September 29, 2013 I'm okay with changing the mascot, his tail is worn out. Haven't seen Freddy the past few cruises which is okay with me, he was creepy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bobby_Mac Posted September 29, 2013 #24 Share Posted September 29, 2013 I heard that he was sent to the "chop shop" and will reemerge as hundreds of sock puppets the photographers and DOD hawkers will wear to entice us to spend more. :rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
