Kay S Posted November 12, 2022 #2 Share Posted November 12, 2022 I love the egg drop! I know some people find it silly and cheesy, but it's fun to see the inventive contraptions people put together. I especially love it when a child wins. I hope it's not another victim of covid. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Rick&Jeannie Posted November 12, 2022 #3 Share Posted November 12, 2022 Wow! That's a blast from the past! I think we saw an egg drop on one of the very first cruises we did just pre 2000. No idea what ship it was. No clue if anybody is still doing it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare dides Posted November 12, 2022 #5 Share Posted November 12, 2022 (edited) We had Egg Drop Challenge on the Discovery Princess Pacific Coastal from Vancouver to LA in late September this year - they asked for passengers to sign up on the first sea day and the event was on the last sea day. Only one lady actually turned up with her parachute and egg basket but she did a fantastic job! Edited November 12, 2022 by dides 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Cruise Raider Posted November 12, 2022 #7 Share Posted November 12, 2022 It’s been happening on the Ruby and the Royal on our cruises this year. So yes, it is back and a very popular event. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kiwimum Posted November 12, 2022 #10 Share Posted November 12, 2022 Egg drop was held on the Caribbean Princess end of October. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Westsail32 Posted November 12, 2022 #11 Share Posted November 12, 2022 I was on the Sapphire last month for a ten-day. I stumbled on the egg drop one day (I’d never seen it). It was hysterical. Some of the ones you’d never thought would survive did. I ended up spending and hour there. It was fun. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senga Posted November 13, 2022 #12 Share Posted November 13, 2022 They held it in the piazza on Grand Princess in May and the noise totally ruined our lunch in Alfredo's and made conversing with Guest Services impossible. Like fun and games but just NOT in the piazza. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's the egg DROP. 🙄 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe they should discontinue all the other activities that are held in the Piazza also.....like dancing, champagne pouring, concerts, games, or any music for that matter. LOL😄😀 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People have plenty of lunch options if noise in the Piazza is an issue for them. And I don’t see how an egg drop could ruin the food in Alfredo’s unless a wayward shell fragment landed on a pizza. 2 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Princess passengers give Carnival passengers a hard time for some of the games they have onboard but Princess games are just as nonsensical as Carnival's. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sea Hag Posted November 13, 2022 #18 Share Posted November 13, 2022 I'm a big fan of the egg drop and the paper airplane contest! Yes, they're silly, ridiculous and childish, but they're also very popular with a lot of folks. I especially like the egg drop when the person running it gets everybody chicken dancing between drops. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My husband loves it. My favorite games memory on Princess was the hole in one competition down the grand staircase on the Pacific Princess. My husband loved that, too. One day, it started and the staff at the Guest Relations Desk, which was right there at the bottom and the recipient of most of the errant golf balls, realized he wasn’t there and phoned our cabin. He was gone in a flash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Put a lot of thought into my parachute contraption that could only be made by items from onboard. The cushioning made by cutting up straws I thought was inspirational. And, I won! 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe that this is something they've just started recently. I'll have to redesign my whole previous tested contraption. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
