babyher Posted July 28, 2009 #30 Share Posted July 28, 2009 Clowns are creepy. And I still avoid the circus. This calls for a musical outburst Baby cried the day the circus came to town Cause she didn't want parades just passing by her So she painted on a smile and took up with clown And she danced without a net upon the wire.

Sherman Oaks Posted July 28, 2009 #31 Share Posted July 28, 2009 When I was on the Conquest last month several of us held him down and inserted a IV full of Diprivan (propofol)... He's in Neverland now :) . Post of the week award! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LHP Posted July 29, 2009 #32 Share Posted July 29, 2009 A blogger on John Heald's site insists that Freddy be "banned" whenever her special needs teenager with autisim is aboard CCL ships. Her request is always honored. The demands of one guest can and do impede the cruise enjoyment for others as this example personifies. Please get your facts STRAIGHT before you post something so ridiculous!! Excuse me.... I have NEVER EVER even asked....much less "insisted" that Funship Freddie be BANNED. That would not be fair for the other guests. Twice (out of the 31 cruises our son has been on)....Funship Freddie was not "aboard".... once because the dedicated member that is FF happen to be signing off the day we boarded and the ship was headed to drydock the next week...so CARNIVAL elected not to bring someone in for ONE CRUISE. Another cruise, the person that was suppose to be Funship Freddie was not onboard (to my knowledge...the replacement missed the ship due to a missed air connection) ..... and there was no FF on that cruise. What Carnival HAS done for us for these 31 cruises is simply give us Funship Freddie's schedule so that we can simply AVOID where FF is going to be. AND CDs have sent our son's picture and an email ship wide to let everyone know to be on the lookout to prevent accidental "meetings". Funship Freddie is only out 20-30 minutes and he is not out every day. This is how idiotic rumors get started. People who have no clue posting about things they know nothing about.

scraphappylady Posted July 29, 2009 #33 Share Posted July 29, 2009 We encountered him and his accompanying photographer after the late dinner seating one night and got a picture (we ended up not buying it.) The kids (10 and 14) weren't really impressed, and henceforth jokingly labeled him "Freaky Freddy." They kinda have a point - I mean, a big walking ship's funnel . . . ? C'mon! Not the most huggable character I've seen! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruisin' again Posted July 29, 2009 #34 Share Posted July 29, 2009 and if you are on facebook, he has a page.....he's super funship freddy on there.

WitchyWoman14 Posted July 29, 2009 #35 Share Posted July 29, 2009 I just did a search for "Funship Freddy Facebok" and when I clicked the link, it showed a photo of him with 3 chicks... He has a chick on both sides of him, but honestly, I am not sure what the 3rd chick is doing! :eek: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlueC5Kitten Posted July 29, 2009 #37 Share Posted July 29, 2009 I've seen him on every Carnival cruise I have completed...not sure why you aren't seeing him. He tends to be a fun guy/gal and is always very nice about letting you take a quick pic! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
*Mach* Posted July 29, 2009 #38 Share Posted July 29, 2009 I didn't know he had a face book page... Have to go and find him... :D Jerseygirl, I haven't taken a picture with him yet... hopefully I can do it on my next cruise! :D Personally, I think Fun Ship Freddy rocks!!! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Her request is always honored. The demands of one guest can and do impede the cruise enjoyment for others as this example personifies. That is entirely false... end of discussion. Linda is provided with a schedule of where Fun Ship Freddy will be and when so they can avoid him. Freddy is NOT banned when they are on board and I'm positive that there's NO adverse effect on ANYONE'S cruise... Please take the time to read John's blog a little more closely next time... Thanks.

BallFour4 Posted July 29, 2009 #40 Share Posted July 29, 2009 I don't know, but I wish he would go away.....along with the opening show on the first night - it get's really old, really fast. How many times have you seen those FUN letters inflate for the opening show? Once is enough. Then we get 'Let's Cruise Tonight" aka Let's Groove Tonight in remake for the best orchestra on the seven seas. We love the people watching, so I am usually there.

bazarr2 Posted July 29, 2009 #48 Share Posted July 29, 2009 So I've seen pictures of people with Fun Ship Freddy, but I've NEVER seen him on the ship. I'm guessing he's in Camp Carnival at some point, but I'd really like to catch up with him when we sail in November. Where are people taking these pics with him? We saw him in different areas. Once was a pool deck party and another was in the shows walking around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bazarr2 Posted July 29, 2009 #49 Share Posted July 29, 2009 I got a pic, a bad pic but a pic of Funship Freddy and My DH at the carnival pool party. I suppose I should explain that my DH had groucho Marx glasses on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
