What is the weirdest thing you ever seen happening on an NCL ship! Just Curious.

Chair Hog of the Century

Woman attempting to save an entire row, maybe a dozen chaise longues. She was sitting at one end, her prosthetic leg was occupying the other end.

Reminds me of the old British Army joke.

Two squaddies in the Falklands war under fire. One says, "Hey mate, I think I've lost my leg".

His mate says, "No you haven't. It's over here."

I'm probably going to the naughty step for that...:evilsmile:

You're saying there was a murder aboard Norwegian Epic last December? :confused:

DH and I were on a cruise a couple of years ago when a man hung himself in his cabin while cruising with his wife and 2 teenage sons. It was very sad.

Think her name was Eileen...

If anyone questioned her, what was she going to do? It sounds like she didn’t have a leg to stand on.

A staff member (a specialty contractor position) pleasuring himself in spa in the men's locker room. DH didn't know it was a staff member at the time. Reported it and investigation ensued. In return, we got three hours of our cruise interrupted by sitting and reporting things to different officers, and not even a "hey thanks, have a beer on us" for my DH's experience/time. Wasn't impressed.

If you are curious, the offending employee was escorted off at the next port.

We were on the Dawn a few years ago, and two of our friends were in one of the Owner’s Suites. One of them was watching TV when he saw someone walking across the room behind him in the reflection off the balcony doors. He looked and the person was gone. His wife was in the other room, so it wasn’t her. When they mentioned it to the staff, they said the room was haunted. Apparently, an 86-year old man had passed away in the room on the inaugural cruise, and his spirit was still in the room.

So, I guess ghosts can’t use Easy Walk-off.

Well, actually . . .

When told the seat was reserved, I just said I would gladly give it up when here group returns. Almost an hour later, no one showed.

Wow, I love that idea! "I'll move if your friend gets here within the hour."

We were on the Jewel last year on a LA to Miami Panama Canal trip. Not sure where she was from but we were on the deck above Lido and watched a senior citizen get out of the hot tub. Take off her bikini top and dry herself off before she dressed herself right there.

Was just on the Escape out of Miami on a Western Caribbean itinerary. Was set to arrive back in Miami at 8 am. Tried to early disembark. Was like the 20th person in line at 7 AM. This woman and her kids were playing air hockey at 7 am. I could hear the noise on the level beneath, as I made my way towards the line. Once I got in line, I could see all the elderly people in wheelchairs grimacing with painful looks on their faces. The parent's of these threw boys were totally asleep at the wheel. No parenting. No disciplining when the two younger ones got into a fight when one got injured by one of the pucks. It was like I was in a bad movie. Thank God this woman took one of the pucks or we would have sat there another 30 minutes in pure hell.

That would have messed me up. But seriously, they need a nude section where people can sunbath in the nude.

Love this!!

We were on the Pearl as it was leaving Skagway when a elderly couple showed up at the pier and started running down the pier, frantically waving their arms. Obviously they must have gotten mixed up between ship time and Alaskan time and missed the ship. But then they started climbing over the rock boulders on the jetty next to the pier, still waving as they tried to scramble to catch the ship, now over 200 yards away. Sad for them, but amusing. You cannot stop a ship once it has left port.

Kinda morbid but there is a site called cruiseshipdeaths.com & they describe all kinds of incidents by category such as murders, overboards, accidental. Morbidly interesting....

This was on a Disney ship, more of a gross thing. In the middle of the crowded pool deck this adult man was just standing there picking his nose, I mean really digging for gold. This went on for some time. All I could think was, so this is who I will be at the buffet with at lunchtime! Ewwww....

I had a very strange thing happen on a Carnival cruise...I was traveling with my son and his friend in an interior cabin and the room steward had a major crush on me. It was spooky (I'm honestly a chubby 52 year old and he was probably 35-ish and said he had been working for 15 tears) and he asked me if I would go on a date with him and I basically stuttered and said no, thank you and avoided him for the rest of the cruise. (Literally sent my son out to search the hall before I left the room, then run down the opposite hall!) The last night he left a note begging me not to tell...but I think he left it while I was sleeping! I was packing the night before and I'm sure I would have seen it. I'm friendly with the stewards now, but I don't try to get to know them!!

I think I've heard about her! I believe her name is Eileen. :')

I'll be seeing the rest of you in the fires down below. ;)

Everyone should attend the Captain’s Q&A because some of the answers can be ... interesting.

We were on the Breakaway’s inaugural crossing from Southampton to NYC, and during the Q&A, someone asked, “How much clearance will we have going under the Verrazano Bridge?” (This was a question that interested me, since she is a tall ship.)

The Captain paused a second, and said, “I don’t know. We’ve never done it before.”

It took a minute, but then everyone had a good laugh. Who knew Norwegians had a sense of humor?

Last week I was on the Escape, my husband was watching the bridge view channel and saw man in his underwear on a lounger right where the word ONLY is written. On a previous cruise, Carnival Liberty, I saw an older man get in the pool in his white fruit of the loom briefs. People were drinking and just laughing so hard the man was clueless.

My first cruise on the getaway, woke up to an orange looking bird on my balcony that just sat there for some time. This was on the way to Honduras in the middle of the ocean from Miami. Didn't expect any guests that early in the morning.

very entertaining thread! i will keep you posted by the end of November when i get off the Breakaway... it's leaving out of NYC,, so I'm sure there will be fun adventures to talk about:D

I just remembered one. We were on the Gem last December and there was this man in the main pool who kept blowing his nose directly in the main pool. He would hold one nostril shut and blow out the other one. It was absolutely disgusting. What is wrong with people?

Omg that is disgusting!!

On the Jade Transatlantic this September were two elderly "gentlemen" who paraded around the ship

dressed in "Baby Doll" outfits. New outfit every night. Turned a few heads especially when they

joined in the Men versus Women quiz in the Spinnaker helping out the woman team much to

the consternation of the host.

I never thought i would get so many responses when i started this thread! Great stories shared and very entertaining, keep them coming!

I should have some stories of my own after i finish our BA cruise in January!

I don't think this compares to the other weird stuff people are reporting, but last year on the Getaway, I walked out to our aft balcony (which was a Haven suite) and there was a dead bird laying there on the ground. My first instinct was to throw it overboard, but then I remembered that they drill into you that you can't throw ANYTHING overboard EVER or it's punishable by death or something equally as terrible. So....I called the butler and said, well, I'm sure you've heard everything and I'm not sure if this falls into your job description, but there's a dead bird on the balcony and I'm not sure what to do with it. He came up and took it away. Not sure where he put it but I was glad to be rid of the poor creature. :)

OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :loudcry:

Reminds me of the couple who wear matching luminous thong style outfits every day..

He is urm - rather well endowed - anyone who has seen them knows exactly who I mean.

They pose for photos so someone out there must have a picture.

But ooooooh the babydolls - :')

Takes all sorts to make a world huh???
