what is the wildest,craziest thing you've ever seen on a cruise?

[krazy_dave]

Unfortunately I wasn't there to see it but there are a few videos around of Leigh and Erky getting their chests waxed for charity on the Explorer last week

My DW and I were on our first cruise on the Independence. American Hawaii Cruises. We were going to dinner and we both noticed a certain smell wafting up a stairwell from down below. I noticed our steward was on the stairs talking with a shipmate. I said " That Maui Wowie sure smells good" all in jest. Later that night, when we returned to our cabin there on our pillow was a joint with a card that said "Sweet dreams".

I kid you not!

I saw a lady have a bath naked in a deck spa during the day and then bathe her husband nude in one of the pool showers

 

That was funny

On our trans Atlantic cruise on Celebrity Reflection a couple years ago there was a man I will never forget. He was wearing huge clown sunglasses. And he was serious. He was not joking around, being funny, pretending he was a clown. The rest of his attire was completely normal except for the huge florescent sunglasses. In fact he actually looked preppy and well-to-do other than the glasses. I thought it was just a one time thing or maybe some secret club (like the pink boas and fedoras that we see all over)....but time after time I kept seeing him. By the pool with the clown sunglasses. At the buffet with the clown sunglasses. With his wife (she looked completely normal!!!). One time he tried to say hello to my 5 year old and give her a lollipop....I just grabbed her by the hand and led her in the other direction. It was just too strange!

 

This picture is NOT the man - it is just to show the type of glasses I mean! Have you seen the traveler I'm describing?

When my daughter was around 13, ( she is now 26) we went on a 3 day Carnival cruise to Ensenada. We had gotten off the ship to see the sites and had just gotten back on and in the elevator, when I heard "HOLD THE ELEVATOR!!!" I did and on walked 5 young men and one young lady, all so drunk, they could barely stand. Once the elevator doors closed, one of the men, dropped his pants - he was commando and all of his friends started laughing. My daughter was shocked and looked to me. I said to her, "That's ok honey. He is just showing us his shortcomings". His friends then went totally out of control ribbing him. He then said to me, " That's not nice". I said, "What would not be nice is if I were to report you to security as what you did was a crime. The doors opened and my daughter and I got off , while his friends were still giving him a bad time.:D

Wow, 70 pages later I am finally done reading this epic thread. Below is contribution. It's not the craziest on here, but funny in a cute sort of way. At the time that it happened I was rolling in tears.

 

On my first very first cruise on the Norwegian Crown from NYC to Bermuda, my mom and I we went to see Sharkbait, who are a great comedic juggling duo. They asked for a volunteer and a little girl chosen. They did the usual questions, "What's your name?" (don't remember) "How old are you?" (5-ish) and "Where are you from?" to which the girl says NYC. Then next thing they do is ask the little girl to hold up a finger, guess which one she held up? That's right! The middle one. Sharkbait quipped about how they should have been more specific with their request and that the little girl did warn them she was from NYC.

Last week's cruise on the NCL Getaway, I took my 9 year old daughter to play "Deal or No Deal." The cruise director called out the name of the person who goes on stage (and has the possibility of winning $1000 bucks). The lucky lady first raised her hand... camera zooms to her, so she is on the HUGE screen... She jumps up excitedly, and her chest fully escapes her strapless play suit... ON THE BIG SCREEN!! *laughing* Thankfully, the wonderful Scottish lady just put herself back together and laughed along with us!

 

I told DH about this, so he just HAD to come to the next session... where he got pulled on stage and won some money! :D Kiddo won him another $50, too, from playing on the cards!

In the atrium area of a Celebrity trans-Atlantic a number of years ago, we were enjoying a performance of a piano player, a trumpeter and an accordion player. A woman arrived beside us and in a broad Texan accent drawled, "Oh look, a string quartet!". No strings and only three musicians, but I'm glad she enjoyed the performance!

[Morisnfan]

More on the odd side than wild and crazy, but.... My hubby & I were seated next to a table at dinner, where there was a 20ish guy, his boyfriend and boyfriends parents. The guy had a strange habit of putting his hand into his shirt and playing " nippler"as we began to refer to it. No other way to describe it. Every night, many times during dinner, his hand would be wiggling away inside the shirt. Don't know if it was a nervous habit or what, but I wonder if the boyfriends parents noticed. Hopefully they didn't notice our laughter each time!

Funny, I just finished reading all these posts and had been noting what I would add... then I came up on my OWN post from almost two years ago lol. Having been on three cruises since, I have more to add :)

 

Back to the first cruise, the Legend, there was a couple we saw getting off the ship in Grand Cayman, they looked extremely nervous. They were supposed to have gotten married the day before the cruise but something went wrong and the wedding nor marriage happened. They still went on their trip together and then decided to get married in GC. Kind of a fun little story for the kids one day.

 

Our next cruise on the Triumph, we went with our "couple best friends," as someone else called it. It was their first cruise and my best friend was nervous. We were going through security and were a few people back in line. I told her to get her passport ready to show. At that very moment, she opened her passport to the photo page and held it directly up, next to her face. I started laughing so hard and told her "Well, I mean... not yet, when we get to the front of the line and you can just hand it to them." It was hilarious.

 

Our most recent cruise on the Elation had some real characters, including my husband:

 

One guy not only made so much of a commotion in the casino that the pit bosses had to come control the situation, he also tried throwing some pot (not pottery lol) onto the ship when returning from port, trying to get it past Security. These two stories of the same guy were told to me by other people, so I'm not sure of the outcome other than to assume he got away with all this. But I got to witness, first hand, his severe irritation on the last night, as he stomped out of the dance club spouting off about "F*** this cruise" and so on. A real winner there.

 

Another guy, that same night (Halloween) had dressed as a stripper and was thrown out of the dance club for being shirtless. He and his group of girls were being incredibly loud outside of the dance club (which is where we were sitting... GREAT people watching). "Ya'll need to go up in there and tell all them people without shoes to leave then!" I guess they thought he had a good point because after some time, they let him back in.

 

Prior to all that dance club fun, we were watching karaoke. This guy was dressed as a mime and "sang" Single Ladies. By "sang," I mean he didn't sing at all. HE WAS A MIME!!! Evidently our group was the only group who understood this was all in humor. Everyone else was looking at each other, in confusion. Someone was bringing this guy a new microphone. He appeared to have Downs Syndrome so I think people just thought he didn't know what was going on. As someone else said, he outsmarted everyone in there. :p

 

This was followed by a guy in one of those creepy full body leotards. Nothing over, nothing under. Just gyrating and having himself a good time. It was pretty hilarious, but also gross lol.

 

And lastly, my dear, sweet husband. We were dressed as Kermit and Miss Piggy. So obviously, he gets up and ribbits to "Two Tickets to Paradise." Our group was dying in laughter... yet again... everyone else was confused. And the guy running the show was not the least bit impressed, cutting him off early after staring at my husband like an idiot. LOL

My wife and I were on the past New Year's Cruise on the Fantasy. This was when the huge winter storm hit most of the country and the cold front made the seas quite heavy on the return from Freeport to Charleston. We were at the late night comedy show and the ship was really moving around, so much so that a couple times I thought the comedian was going to wind up in the laps of people in the front row. Eventually he makes a joke in the style of the captain's announcements apologizing about running over a whale. Of course we thought this was hilarious, especially since we had a "few" drinks that day. ;) Anyway, "hitting a whale" has become a running joke between us anytime we trip or lose our balance now.

 

Now the best part about our hitting a whale joke happened when we took the 7 day cruise on Fantasy in April of this year. We did the behind the scenes tour, (which was very enjoyable) and got to the portion where they take you onto the bridge to talk to the officers there. Well, we were standing there listening to the first officer tell us about the ship when my wife elbows me in the side and I look to see she has a funny look on her face, like she is trying not to laugh. She nods toward a sign beside the bridge windows and it is a warning about whale collisions! It says something about if right whales are spotted, slow to safe whale speed and maintain at least a certain amount of distance from the whales! Now I am standing there trying to do everything I can to keep from cracking up and bursting out laughing. A couple other people on the tour kept giving me funny looks, but I succeeded in not laughing. :o

 

Of course after finishing the tour both of us just looked at each other and ended up laughing mightily for about 5 minutes... We couldn't believe after all our joking about hitting a whale that apparently it is a legitimate enough concern to have signs posted on the bridge about it!! I really wished I had asked one of the officers on the bridge about it but there was no way I could have done so while keeping a straight face, and I didn't want everyone to think I was doing it to be a smart @ss! :D

Yeah, it's a real thing, and probably not very funny for those who actually witness it.

On our first cruise, we had just got back on the ship after being in cozumel. We took our souvenirs to our room and as we headed back to the buffet a woman, young 20's, was being assisted by relatives back to her room. As we passed in the hall, she looked down at our then 4 year old son and shouted "Hola"!!! She had apparently had a fantastic time in cozumel!!!

 

On our second cruise, my DH got pretty wasted and as we were heading down some stairs to watch a dive in movie he slipped and crashed on the stairs. I was worried for a moment but when I decided he hadn't injured himself, I had a good laugh...especially since he didn't drop his drink!! We woke up the next morning and he said his side hurt. I took a look and he had a major bruise along the one side of his ribs. Pretty sure he bruised his ribs. I have no intention of letting him live that one down.

I once saw a lady change out of her bathing suit on the pool deck. HELLO! That's what your room is for.

Ok so last year on the Carnival Ecstasy we had 2 great moments, the first came in the Karaoke Bar when they called up this guy who looked like Sly on Duck Dynasty, beard and all. He was blistered drunk and commenced to singing Sinatra. He did a really good job to my surprise, but as he was finishing the number he walked up toward the edge of the stage and the drunkness got ahold of him as he fell of the edge of the stage to end his performance. The other was not seen by me or my wife but rather by our then 13 year old son (mind you his hormones raging as any 13 yo boy's are) he walked around a corner and caught one of the male staff that worked in his club going down on a female passenger. Apparently this staff member was a seasoned "diver". :eek:

To add to this, we were on a cruise once, having dinner on a big table. There was a couple on their honeymoon and they were traditional in the sense that it seemed to me that they had just started living together and everything else that goes along with that. It was new to them.

 

So we get our salads and start eating. The young couple were sitting across from each other, as were the other couples and kids, except for my wife and I, I was sitting at the end and she was to my left. All of a sudden, I see something fly out of the chest area of the girl, fly in an arc across the table, and land in the plate of the person sitting next to her new husband. I felt the hardest kick in my shin...and my wife said don't you dare say a word!! (she knows I was gonna have a field day with this one).

 

The item was a padded insert in one of the girl's girls. Her face turned beet red, she got up, reached across the table grabbed the insert which was half moon shaped and about 3/4 of an inch think, and literally ran out of the dining room.

 

Just as I was about to crack a joke my wife again whispered if you say a word I'm gonna kill you.

 

Anyways the girl returned and regained her composure, sat down as if nothing happened, and continued eating.

 

By the end of the week we were all laughing about it because I just couldn't stop myself from bringing it up!!!

 

It was hilarious......

Last week we had just left port and my husband and I were sitting in the Lido deck grill area, just watching the world go by. I starting hearing a loud tapping sound and turned around to see a lady trying to stick a bowl into the Purell dispenser that was at the beginning of the buffet line. Clack, clack, clack. We're thinking she has no idea what the machine is, maybe she thinks soup is going to come out? She keeps hitting it, clack, clack, clack. Evidently Purell is dispensing out into the bowl with each clack and pretty soon she has a bowl of Purell. ??? Trying to figure this out........she goes back to her table where there are probably 8 or 9 people seated. Are they going to use it as a finger bowl? Do they think it's dip of some kind? Are they going to try to light it and use it to fondue? Not sure what the plan was, but as we walked away later, an older gentlemen in that party got up from the table and carried the now half-ful bowl of Purell out toward the elevators! :eek:

Well, that's certainly a new way to get around the high prices of drinks on board!

[bank1]

Lol not sure about bringing a whole bowl to the table, but I hear it goes well with chips as a dip......:eek:

 

We always wipe our cabin down, remote, light switches, etc, once we forgot to bring lysol wipes so I just soaked a hand towel, went to the purell dispenser, soaked it with purell, came back to the cabin and wiped everything down......I did get some weird looks from people trying to figure out what I was doing.....

LOL, that was my husband's theory - that they were going to clean their cabin with it! I just can't imagine the cabin steward would have been too happy with that! :eek:

[bank1]

I just remembered another one....a couple was in the whirlpool on deck 10 aft port side on Independence last month, and they were engaging in activities that should be reserved for a private setting!!!

 

Anyway security came and the woman started getting mouthy and aggressive with them.....sure enough, they grabbed her and escorted her away fully naked....luckily there were not a lot of children about on the ship(during school before Christmas) but it was right there out in the open.
