DRUNK vs PALM TREES

[sea-cruise]

A few years back on RCCL, my daughter and I entered the "costume contest". My son inlaw bound us tightly in strips of burlap until we looked like logs, and we wore headbands with huge palm fronds attached (like the statue of liberty crown). We had a tiny net strung between us (hammock). As we were parading around the lido deck, a drunk sat on our hammock and dragged us down. We were rolling around on the deck and couldn't bend our legs or arms to get up. Everyone was laughing so hard, no one helped us for a minute or two. I don't get embarrased easily because I have a big sense of humor, but my daughter was mumbling while she rolled, in shock and embarrasement. When we finally were stood up and unwrapped, she stalked off to the cabin in humiliation. I thought it was great fun.

Please post your costume contest stories...What have you worn or seen???

...hilarious!! On one of our cruises a guy told me he wanted to enter the costume contest with a large white garbage bag over his head and be a condom...they told him it wouldnt really be a good idea...this story is second hand since I didnt see/hear any of this...I asked him if he realized his costume would make him the @#$%...he kinda of gazed off and said "oh yeah"

We didn't win, but what the heck, it was so much fun, I didn't care. It sure was the talk of the ship after that though. People knew me by my orange shoes that I was wearing, and when they saw those shoes later, they asked if Gina and I were okay. I told them, "yeah, we're fine; only her pride was hurt".

MrNobody, I'll bet that guy didn't want to wear the garbage bag after you reminding him of his title

Once, back in the late 80's, a large group of us were on the Norway. They had theme nights back then, but on the last formal night (not a theme night), all the ladies in our group decided to put two balloons in the tops of our dresses, and act as if nothing were wrong. We walked into the dining room, dressed to the hilt, and escorted by our husbands/SOs, and pretended not to notice the stares and the laughter at our "oversized" tops. We sat down and ordered and ate dinner as usual. One by one, the balloons began to pop (on one side at a time), and it was harder than heck to not react! We just continued on with our normal conversation, amid laughter from the staff and surrounding tables. It was really a hoot!
