This doesn't really qualify as wild and/or crazy but I did think it was funny...

I was recently on the Dawn Princess sailing the Inside Passage of Alaska and at one evening's main show in the Princess theater, right before the show started, a man came on the PA to announce the evening's entertainment. This announcement was made in English -- nothing unusual there. Immediately following this announcement, we heard it being repeated in French. In all the other shows I'd been to, I'd not heard a multi-lingual introduction before, but I thought that since there is an international audience onboard, it only made since. After the French announcement, we heard Spanish, and possibly another language or two. By this time, the audience was getting a little restless and eager for the show to start. But, no, there was one more language we had to sit through. As we all recognized this final announcement, the audience erupted in laughter....it was in igpey atinlay! ;)

Also once while on a cruise a guy fell in to the orchestra pit and severly injured himself it was nearing the end of the cruise and the last day was a private Island we stopped outside Nassau and a water taxi came by and took him away. We never found out what happened to the poor guy.

I'd heard something like this happened to a cruise director we once had. I think his name was Dave Graham, on the Celebrity Century in early '97. The accident happened not on our cruise but later on. I don't suppose the one you were talking about was the CD was it?
