Craziest thing you've seen another passenger do

[WonderMan3]

On my Eclipse cruise last week an obnoxious German man who was a suite guest (I saw him at Luminae multiple nights) was berating a server at Cafe Al Bacio because the oatmeal cookies she served him were apparently not crispy enough for him. He went on and on about how he had them everyday there and they had never been presented like that. His wife was embarrassed and kept waving at him to sit down and let it go. The poor server walked away and I could see her turn at one point and have a totally perplexed look on her face like she had no idea how to satisfy this guest. Felt bad for her.

My first cruise (not Celebrity) was with my then 15 yr old daughter and myself. We didn't realize you could request a table change at dinner and each evening we had the most uncomfortable meal. A family, Grandmother, Mom & Dad and 13 yr old daughter. Only the 13 yr old spoke english and what made it uncomfortable was her dress - she looked like a "working girl". Being from the mid-west - I had a lot of explaining to do to my daughter. :eek:

 

Short cruise (on Celebrity), we are in the Martini Bar - a very drunk couple is fighting and the guy decided to leave. Makes it to the wall and slides down to the floor, crawls up the wall - takes a couple of steps and slides down again. Did this till out of sight. :cool:

 

Sailing into San Juan - sounds like a domestic fight in the cabin next door, furniture hitting the walls, screaming. Young man goes out to the balcony and is threatening to kill himself by throwing himself over the side. Seems he got confined to his cabin for complaining about a tummy ache. Took forever for security to arrive.

 

Rough seas plus a dance floor and a guy wearing a kilt. I now know what they wear under there - nothing. :o

 

That's why we have paten leather shoes with our tuxes. That way we can sneak a peek under those kilts!

We were on that cruise as well. Quite a few German & British. We had a 4 group table near us in Murano. From Boston area & Chicago. This group started getting really vocal & quite rude. They started insulting the Catholic Church(I'm not Catholic, by the way)They then started insulting the people from the state of Maine, claiming outside of the coastal area, the rest are "Poor as Church Mice" (NOT TRUE!!)They then explained to their friends from Chicago how rich & beautiful it was in Eastern Massachusetts. Finally, I had enough & told them to quiet down. I also asked them to explain Lowell/Lawrence to the Chicago couple. If you've been to those cities, you'll know what I mean. A couple next to them rushed their dinner & left as quick as possible. They thanked me for telling the group to quite down. I told the Maître D to not seat them anywhere near us again, as it could get really nasty.

In January on Equinox I was working out in the fitness center when a decidedly non-athletic looking guy wearing only a very small Speedo and flipflops walked in and started using one of the recumbent bikes. He was almost immediately politely escorted out (must have been for "improper footwear.") ;)

(No, he did not wipe down the bike... ewww.)

 

This thread is hilarious! Great reading on a snow day.

Why would that be of interest to you? I wonder

Last December on Diamond Princess a young man wore underwear (the brand name stamped on the elastic) from the aft swimming pool (presume he swam in them) straight through the buffet.

So here's an all time classic. Eight years later we're still laughing about it! One morning on our 15 day Panama Canal/South America cruise on Infinity I was relaxing on our balcony and enjoying my early morning coffee and croissants. Feet up on the footstool, lying back and watching the world go by wrapped in my fluffy robe, enjoying clear skies, calm seas, warm early morning sun, reading a lovely novel. Suddenly I am wrenched into reality by my DH who came out to join me. Now I need to say that he is a very strong man, so I guess he didn't feel the resistance in the sliding glass door, but he should have been clued in by the ungodly screeching sound of it, (I certainly was!) he says,"boy the door needs oil all of a sudden, it didn't do that last night!" He sits down as I get up to see just what he did. He managed to pull the door closed and locked from the inside with both of us wrapped in robes (and nothing else) on the balcony. Yes folks, it is possible (not easy mind you, but possible if you're determined) to accomplish this. When we stopped laughing, we realized that the ship had two days at sea until it reached the first port, and we were travelling just the two of us, so no one would notice our absence! Luckily the folks next door came out onto their balcony and were kind enough to call our stateroom attendant who quickly came and let us back into our room. She laughed every time she saw us for the rest of the cruise and said that was a first for her! To this day, I do not allow DH to touch the door unless there is one of us INSIDE the room!...and yes, we're still married and laughing about it!:D

On our honeymoon cruise on the RCI Majesty of the Seas, my new bride and I decided to do what newlyweds do before we left port. She was the "Initiator" and I didn't need to be coerced.

Well, the session lasted well into the muster. Eventually a room steward escorted us to the station.

So, if you were one of our fellow cruise passengers delayed by our antics in May of 1996, I err correction WE apologize.

I would also like to thank the Dunn's river fall guide who expertly positioned my wife in the cascading water to lower her bikini top.

Surprisingly, we are still happily married and still happily cruising.

Husband wanted me to relay an incident on his first cruise (I wasn't with him). A man in the buffet walked off with an entire tray of smoked salmon. A server was stationed there from then on to serve.

I throw stuff like that out to see who has a sense of humor. Obviously, you missed the joke!

Similar thing happened to us.. last March on the Infinity.. same cruise. A neighbour came out but only spoke a foreign language which we did not recognized. She finally figured we weren't giving up or leaving her in peace so she got her husband and he had enough understanding to get the room attendant. We did laugh a lot after the rescue and so did our cabin attendant

Okay. I posted earlier on this thread but I held back on this one' date=' because it's so obnoxious. But seeing so many funny sharings about boobs, speedos, and this and that, here it goes:

 

DH and I rarely sit by the pool but we were relaxing one day a year or two ago poolside. An old man proceeded to get into the hot tub in his jockey underwear. Yes, you heard me right his white underwear, actually the color was more like tattle tale grey. They had a tobacco stain in the rear area, if you know what I mean. We were totally disgusted, and felt sorry for those sharing the hot tub unknowingly with him. When he emerged from the tub, the stained was bleached away I guess from the chlorine chemicals!! EWWWW!!!

 

Ergo, you will never see us in a hot tub ever again!![/quote']

 

Thanks for spoiling hot tubs for me.:p I used to love unwinding in them with DW after a strenuous port day. Did you notice if tobacco stain guy used the pool? Need to figure out of those are off limits too. :D:eek::D

[SupAl]

Was it you laughing in the pool?

 

My bet is he was the "pooper" and is upset at having been outed.

About five years ago, our first cruise, we were on the Equinox in the med. one sea day there was a cake decorating demo. I went and was surprised to see a large crowd, standing room only at the back. At the end, the chef invited people up to take pictures . people were lining up, and being very orderly about it. Three ladies went straight up to the table and proceeded to take pictures. Someone said, hey, we are all waiting, too, get in line like the rest of us! This lady with a French accent said, oh, you Americans are so loud and rude! Which the response was from several people, well, you didn't mind us in WW2! Since it was turning into an international incident,I left , at that point, but I heard later in got worse...

[Pushka]

History is interesting. Thinking of those who supported American War of Independence ;)

[Germancruiser]

Oh dear another fellow German who behaved badly. THAT is why I avoid my fellow Germans whereever, whenever I can when on a cruise!

Strangest thing a passenger did- well book a " Modern Luxury Cruise" of course. Nooo just kidding:D!

I got harrased by very pushi Lady once - she even got my cabin number- whom she bribbed I have no idea. In the end - she got the message- but I had to get very very clear! Oh dear!

yeah, internet is the digital version of the gossiping neighbors.. :)

 

Guess you're one of those gossiping neighbors as well since here you are following the thread and participating. SMH

Ever since we've had a hot tub of our own, about 14 years, we we won't go in a public one. I know what it takes to keep the water clean, fresh and balanced. I just can't imagine getting in one on a cruise ship...... just saying.

I had just finished working out in the gym and was heading back to the cabin. I spotted a person who had been running next to me and had left a few minutes earlier. He says that he has been waiting for the "stupid elevator" for 5 minutes as I walk by. I head down the stairs and at the next landing, I stop to tie one of my shoes. The elevator opens up and he gets off. I just started to laugh.

I'm sorry to tell you that he was in and out of the pool too, but at least it was after he had done his laundry in the hot tub. LOL!!

This one is on me. I saw the big square hammocks with the canopies on the Eclipse and I thought I would try one so I got my iPad and found an empty one and hopped in and read for a couple of hours. It was very comfortable and in a fairly isolated location where hardly anyone ever walked by. It also had a great sea view and I just really enjoyed sitting there and reading and looking out to sea from time to time. I had on a maxi dress and flip flops and I'm 5'3". So when it came time to go back to my cabin, I realized that the middle of the hammock was about 2 feet lower than the sides and that getting out of this thing was going to be a bit of a challenge. I am limber, so I was able to swing my legs over the side, but could only grasp one pole at the corner of the hammock to try to pull myself out but that was not going to work - I really needed both arms as I could not reach the ground with my legs. At this point, I started laughing because I realized I was somewhat stuck. I pulled my legs back into the hammock and considered my options. I finally decided the option most likely to work would be to get on my stomach and swing one leg over the edge of the hammock while holding onto a pole and then shift my weight to that leg to reach the floor - kind of like dismounting a horse. I'm halfway through this maneuver and I hear a lovely British accent "Do you need some help?" At that point, I had my foot almost on the ground and I was essentially in a "splits" position and my skirt was up above my knees. Of course, that is the moment of all moments when someone would walk by. "No, I'm fine, thank you," I said as I shifted my weight and dropped my foot to the ground and unwound myself from the hammock like the most ungainly ballet dancer ever. I stayed out of those hammocks after that.

Yes we wear nothing;) 3 years ago on the Solstice I was wearing my kilt when I had an interesting encounter. It was pretty late and I was in the Quasor with a group of friends. While I was out on the dance floor a very drunk woman comes up and asks what they all ask "is it true what you wear under your kilt?" I replied, yes it's true. She then says I don't believe you, turn around. Ok, no problem, I'm thinking shes going to lift the back of my kilt and take a peak at my bare butt. NOPE, Full on arm up kilt, hand on my junk:eek: Groped in Quasor! I wonder who was more surprised?

 

Honey if that's not the "winning" post, it's definitely a contender! :D

[galensgrl]

Since it is a pet and not a service animal, how did you get your peeve on board?

 

Is it a purebred peeve?

 

This is why I had my peeve certified, with official documents and everything. I know they are certified documents, I got them from the internet ;) I even got the peeve a vest, so that people know it's a true service peeve. That way I can take it anywhere. Have service peeve, will travel.
