Mine was on the Grandeur of the Seas, in 1999. Such a great first cruise experience. I was only 4 years old, and I still remember it quite well, actually!

I've come a long way...I'm going on my 8th in a couple weeks. :)

There was one guy (he had to be from Texas, judging by his accent) who one morning decided to crap to the waiter that the bacon wasn't crispy enough for him. He complained and complained and complained, making everyone around him impatient and angry, as they were waiting for their food. The cook made the effort to go back and refry him some crisper bacon, and then once he got that he still wouldn't shut up! Some people...

Then a similar situation happened later when the fries weren't crispy enough. I'm not sure if it was the same guy, but the situation played out the exact same. :p

Alright, this is probably a weird one...I don't know if it has been posted before but:

I look forward to watching the the shore excursion channel for the first time, and hearing that guy's distinctive voice that all the cruise lines use for those videos. Also, the elevator music played in the background of the videos. It officially confirms that I am on the cruise! Best channel on the ship, I tell you! :p LOL

But really, I could probably go on for hours about the odd things that I enjoy.

Well, mine isn't funny as it is 'Wouldn't want to be them!' We were on the Grandeur of the Seas back in 1999, leaving one of our ports of call, San Juan (if my memory serves me correctly). It was dark, so it was kind of hard to see. We were looking down, towards the water, at the bow of the vessel. Out of nowhere, we see this little metal boat with people in it, practially up against the ship! We hear these screams, then the Grandeur responds with a blow of the horn. They managed to get out of the way, but it was close. They must have gotten confused, and rowed right into the path of the leaving cruise ships! Either that or they were drunk, but they soon became sober with that encounter!
