My husband and I were cruising with three other couples end of March/beginning of April 2004. As usual, I looked over the Capers each evening for the next day and highlighted the events I wanted to try. On the Capers for Thursday, there was an entry for 3:45 p.m. that whales would be swimming on the port side of the ship. We were scheduled to leave Progresso around 3, so I figured we must be going through an area known to have whale sightings about 45 minutes after we left port. DH and I went to our room so we could view the whales from our balcony. :D At 3:45 on the dot, the CD came on the intercom and asked everyone to stop congregating on the port side of the ship and then shouted, "April Fool's!" We had all been having such a great time on the cruise that we did not pay attention to the date on the calendar. I think the majority of the cruisers fell for this prank. :rolleyes:
