Spaniel Lover Posted April 22, 2016 #1 Share Posted April 22, 2016 They don't publicize it much, but there's a raunchy late-night game show that happens on a lot of Carnival and Royal Caribbean cruises. It's called Quest. I think I probably did at least 15 Carnival cruises without knowing anything about Quest... and then a fellow passenger happened to mention it to me one day. A small easy-to-miss listing in the Fun Times is just about the only publicity for the show. When I finally attended one, I laughed out loud... and couldn't believe some of the things people were willing to do on stage. (I suspect there had been a fair amount of alcohol consumed earlier in the evening!) If you've got a fairly racy sense of humor and you're not easily offended, take a look at this little introduction to Quest that I put together from some clips I shot during the Royal Caribbean version of Quest. [YOUTUBE]ZGis-yrhp7Q[/YOUTUBE] Carnival's version of Quest is very similar to Royal Caribbean's... they just happen in somewhat different venues. If what you see in the video is offensive to you, don't say I didn't warn you... and definitely don't ever attend a live version of Quest on one of the ships!

annabell08 Posted April 23, 2016 #5 Share Posted April 23, 2016 (edited) While Quest occurs on all RCCL ships, it depends on the Cruise Director on Carnival. Maybe if lots of cruisers start asking about it, more CDs would arrange it. Edited April 23, 2016 by annabell08 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my iPhone using Forums mobile app You have to help spread the word because it is pretty low key advertised. It is usually pretty late to and people tend to not show up when they don't know what it is. We thought that was what it was because we had seen it at assign AI.

evandbob Posted April 23, 2016 #11 Share Posted April 23, 2016 They had Quest on the Glory 2nd Journeys cruise back in Feb. The CD warned of the X rated material, alerted all who might be offended to leave, blah blah blah. I stayed for 20 minutes waiting for something other than a child's game of treasure hunt to happen. The CD was asking the team leader to find an AARP card when I walked out, yawn. Perhaps it got raunchy after that, but I felt like I'd been given a bunch of false advertising.

Rare pirate4me2 Posted April 23, 2016 #12 Share Posted April 23, 2016 Kevin did a great Quest on Splendor last October! It was our first time attending one, and we laughed so hard. I loved it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
surfjock27 Posted April 23, 2016 #13 Share Posted April 23, 2016 Wee Jimmy hosts the BEST Quest on Carnival. We've had the privilege of cruising with him three times and they just get better and better. If you cruise with Jimmy, definitely attend his quest.

It's only done by those CD's that are comfortable performing it knowing they stole it from RCCL, with the same name, no less. If the CD is not good, the show fails.

mibarron Posted April 23, 2016 #15 Share Posted April 23, 2016 I'll be scouring Fun Times for this! Me too!!! This would be great fun to attend.

Rare sparks1093 Posted April 23, 2016 #16 Share Posted April 23, 2016 This also happens on NCL and the CD running the show makes or breaks it (and also determines how out there it gets). If you decide to participate don't take clues too literally- wanting a guy with lipstick on doesn't mean what you think it does;). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrpayroll Posted April 23, 2016 #17 Share Posted April 23, 2016 Always a fun event when we cruise on Royal Caribbean. If you just want to watch, you can sit up towards the top. It is held in Studio B. ( the ice rink ):) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Reid Posted April 23, 2016 #18 Share Posted April 23, 2016 The tradition on the Royal Caribbean board is not to over-describe the event so content is a surprise for those who have not seen it. In posts, they do encourage participating but usually leave out the details. I've been on four Carnival cruises. Only one had Quest. Gumby ran it on Pride about 3 1/2 years ago.

Homosassa Posted April 23, 2016 #19 Share Posted April 23, 2016 We have played Quest enough times on Royal Caribbean that we know what items to have available and how to not be literal for some of the requests. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Tigerlily75 Posted April 23, 2016 #20 Share Posted April 23, 2016 This was on my recent Legend cruise, it was actually highlighted in the Fun Times (in one of the big rectangle boxes), and prior to it was an "Adults Only Game Show". I really wanted to go and watch, but I chickened out... it said "be sure to bring a bag of random stuff". I only wanted to watch, this sounded like I would have to participate in .. 'something' that was "strictly adults only".. I was too scared to go! :eek: :rolleyes: Cruise director was Eli (I don't know his surname, he's a kiwi), and the cruise was out of Australia.

mwood0612 Posted April 23, 2016 #22 Share Posted April 23, 2016 Oh yeah!!! The Quest game on Valor this past week was the craziest I've seen!!!! Body parts showing, panties & bras everywhere!!

Homosassa Posted April 23, 2016 #23 Share Posted April 23, 2016 Booo.....Takes the fun out of it. ( love seeing women taking off their bras ):) No, it doesn't. We have also worked out ways to fulfill the requests so that there is no raunchiness involved. As I said before, one has to think outside the box. We have actually received an extra point for originality in presentation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N2Mischief Posted April 23, 2016 #24 Share Posted April 23, 2016 We've been to a few of these on Carnival. Not quite as raunchy as the one in this video, but crazy fun! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaylinks Posted April 23, 2016 #25 Share Posted April 23, 2016 Saw it on the Glory last September, they held it in the lounge used as the Punchliner, after the last comedy show for the evening/night. Don't quote me but I was almost sure the CD, Hugo, mentioned it was previously banned by Carnival. It was hilarious!! A must see if you are not easily offended...great late night fun!!
