That one Carnival Passenger everybody knows

[Irishlinny]

When I put on the Jamaican outfit that I bought in Montego Bay and went up on the Lido deck for the sail off, I felt like one of "those people". LOL I don't know what I was thinking, but man did I feel dumb!

 

I'm just hoping now that one day I will have a Jamaican themed party to go to, THEN it will be cool. LOL

 

Did it come with dreadlocks?!?!? LMAO!!!!!!!!!!:D

On our first cruise, there was this dude we saw first in the dining room. He was seated at the table next to ours. He was like, "Mr. Clean"/chaved bald and burned to a crisp from Day One. He was about 40, 6 foot and 375 pounds. And travelling with his parents. Just him. Fine, whatever.

 

Also seated at their table was a family of 4. Two 40 something parents and their young-teen DD's (maybe 14-15). What a treat for Mr. Clean. He was always trying to talk to them and staring at them non-stop. We laughed about it, that and the look on the dad's face when he figured it out.

 

We saw him everywhere. Even in picking out our pictures...there's Mr. Clean on formal night...decked out in his tux and sunglasses. Having his picture taken by himself, LOL.

 

 

Another one was one this past cruise. This black woman wore this platinum blonde wig everywhere, in the 90 degree heat in the Caribbean, and was obviously dying the enitre time. She also wore these powder blue contacts. Very odd.

 

Then there was this guy. The "Mr. Congenilaity" of the cruise ship...looked like a short version of Barbie's Ken. Had to be the center of attention at everything. Every single contest during sea days, every time there was a Carnival camera (so he was replayed over and over on the ship's channel), Newlywed-Not So Newlywed show. Freaking annoying. We even spooted him yelling down from the balcony at Margaritaville in Grand Cayman at the people standing in line to tender. :rolleyes:

On an Alaskan cruise years ago a bunch of us hung out a lot at a particular bar. [i mean a lot] There was a little notch of the casino right by the entrance to "our" bar. There were maybe a dozen Dollar slots in this little alcove. There was this very classy, very well dressed and beautiful black woman sitting there playing the $1. slots as fast as she could pull the handle. [i said a long time ago] Not once did any of our group visit our bar that she was not furiously playing those slots. And we visited our bar way too often in those days.

Talked to her husband 4 or 5 days into the cruise. He said she was down about $1500. and it was a 10 day cruise!

And he didn't toss her overboard?!?!:eek: What a nice man!:p

On one of our CC groujp cruises, there was also a bunch of singles cruising.

Well this one guy Chuck was in their group--celebrating his 50th bday. He was always drunk and was in EVERY contest, stood up on the piano bar to sing, etc etc. We started calling him Yuck.

I posted on here about "Chuck" on Liberty last June. He professed to always win karaoke on cruises, said he lived in Florida, was always after a female, and had a printed "temporary marriage license". Always intoxicated, always singing, and smoking cigaretttes. My husband and I would see him somewhere every day, sometimes several times a day!

[WayTooCool]

We had "The Jumper" on our Holiday cruise; he had spent the previous two days being loud and obnoxious (drunk??) during the boat drill and on the decks, and at dinner. We weren't the least surprised he was the ***** that jumped off the 11th level deck into the water at Costa Maya. The Mexican authorities were not amused.:rolleyes:

[oldmedic]

i meant to mention on my post above that we also sailed twice out of Galveston with a guy that looked just like Paul Hogan (Crocadile Dundee) ... each time we saw him he was at one of the bars, with a couple of "tewnty-something- young girls on each arm... I said if i ever saw him again I was going to introduce myself and buy him a beer.... (he had the same hat on both cruises) maybe he will be on the April 05, 2008 Ecstasy cruise

[Chief93]

On my very first cruise on the Spirit in March, 2002 there was a family that we saw everywhere. They were a married couple with a distinct Eastern European look and their two teenage daughters about 17 and 18. Both girls were thin, wore only plain pastel knee length dresses and sported a distinct unibrow. We saw the four of them everywhere, they never spoke to each other or anyone else, they never smiled, they would not make eye contact, etc. At the shows they would enter, sit, stare, and exit without a word. Never cracked a smile. My wife, of Northern Mexican heritage, referred to them as "las chavalas" and we still talk about them today. They are still one of our standard "cruise stories."

[Alegeeter]

Let's see... first there was the 80 year old female army sergeant. My second cruise there was the Karaoke King, who would just sing EVERYWHERE. My cruise this summer, there was Santa Clause (seriously.... he dressed in a green valor (sp?) suit on formal night, and carried an ID with him that said Santa Clause... it was a cruise to Alaska so he told the kids he was heading back to the pole to start on the gifts for this year...he was a hoot). On my last cruise there was the little baby that, wherever you looked, would be crawling over or on something. He loved the shiny ship more than me (okay...maybe not)

Sounds like him and yes I think it was on the Liberty.

[demos]

You must have been on the same cruise as us, we called her thong lady, she said she was in her 50's, a grandmother, and would where what she wanted! When she was dancing by the casino one night, a couple of boys about 12yrs old came up to watch her, well they got an eye full, (no panties):eek: She was told to tone it down or she was being put off on next island!

Sounds like same one!

Yes we were on the same cruise! Liberty april 08! Too funny. She was on an excursion with us and was telling the whole bus how her husband overheard two ladies calling her a floozie. Then there was this long conversation about how to pronounce floozie. Long story but my friend got pretty tippsy one night and was dogging her out loud at the piano bar. I had to leave I was so embarassed. Now spandex lady was not there to hear any of this, but everyone in the room knew exactley who my friend was talking about. She had become well known.

Someone slid one of her photos the ship took under our door the last morning and signed it ........Carnival Floozie!

[dolfansam]

We cruised in November and Santa Clause was on board! Well at least some one that looked like Santa. He had a long white beard and a jolly face, even had a full red suit that he wore on Formal Nights. I saw him at port one day and he had a Hawaiian Shirt with Santa Clauses in bathing suits. He was even in the hairiest chest contest, of course he won. Who wouldn't vote for Santa! Saw him again on the second to last day and my wife mentioned that the woman with him wasn't the same woman we saw him with earlier in the week! We walked the opposite way down the hall and turned the corner and saw Santa again. Can you believe it, there were two men that resembled Santa on our cruise that week, and we didn't realize it until almost the end!

 

Was this on the Imagination? We had a guy very similar to this guy, but I did not see him until we were going through customs.

Several years ago I was on a cruise with my mother, and they had a 50's 'sock hop' in one of the lounges that night. They had an Elvis impersonator contest and several of the passengers did their impersonations of "the King" and the audience chose their favorite. After the King was chosen, we were all instructed to remember this guy, and every time we passed him around the ship for the rest of the cruise, we were supposed to scream and yell "ELVIS!!!" like love struck teenage girls. So I'm sure he had quite a memorable cruise!! Everyone did it, and everyone had a great time with it! He was a good sport and never disappointed anyone with his "thankyou, thankyouverymuch"!

[ECP]

It's usually someone the cruise director makes "famous". Sometimes, they're quirky characters, some are old geezers, and some just dress funny.

 

Some just LOOK funny. :eek:

 

On our last cruise it was "Canada Guy". He was not drunk, in-fact he was on his honeymoon, but he and his 'long' suffering wife of one week were entered in just about every single contest/quiz/event possible. And lost in every single one!

 

At departure the cruise director gave him a bunch of cool stuff - including ofcourse a ship on a stick. :)

[yakdaddy42]

on our last cruise we had this one couple we call steroid sam and silacone saly he was un-naturaly a giant.

all i have to say about her, if she was a car she had major front end work including oversized airbags installed.

 

they were eveywhere we went

[cruisinjerseygirl]

I must have been on the same Liberty cruise with Santa clause and the hairy chest contest, I saw him too!!!

 

Here is my list-

 

Miracle-Underwearless woman!!! Yes...she would get drunk every night while wearing her extremely short dress and end over bent over or with the dress hiked up and showed all of her family jewels at least 4 out of the 7 days!

 

Liberty-Santa Clause

 

Sensation- hate to say it but it was my DH!!! He made friends with everyone as he always does but it started out because he has a big mouth and on the first night show he started giving the CD and other hosts a hard time at bingo and it was history from there...they made a spectacle of him and brought him on stage...so for those who weren't at the show they knew him by either seeing him at the bar or on TV...his nickname was Jersey the whole cruise! We had all of the crew screaming for him as well as when we walked down the halls people would yell out JERSEY! Or they would ask if he was Jersey...I just walked away lol!

[Cruisin thru life]

On my jan 2005 cruise aboard the sensation we had this guy who looked exactly like Dobber from the show Coach. it seemed like he was everywhere we went and he even managed to steal away this older lady that my friend was trying to hit on lol. Our line of the cruise was "Dobber you SOB" lol

 

Did this guy happen to be one that wore swim trunks that look like the back was cut out of them and was the older woman's name pam?

[rubycruzr]

What about the really fun passengers that everyone knows and enjoys? On one cruise there was Chad - who was the life of the ship. Everyone knew him and wanted to hang out with him because he was just plain fun! He and his "entourage of good ol' boys" took my youngest son in as one of their own. Needless to say, my 18 yr old had a fantastic time hanging with the guys!

Then there was the cruise on the Sensation this past September...his name was Franklin and, like Norm, everyone knew his name. He was an absolute riot and, without a doubt, the most popular passenger...except possibly with the pool security guards. Makes me laugh just to think about him. Hope we run into him and his buddies on another cruise some day!!

[cruzmax]

It's too funny if it was the same Chuck - the karaoke king! He was thin, weathered, and always drinking 7-up & vodka. Funny how we remember these things, but he was loud, friendly, and seemed to always have a good time - which is what vacation is about!

Valor in 8 days - I'm so excited!

[Jenbo57]

When we were on an Alaska cruise in '06, I couldn't figure out why people would point at my husband and whisper whenever we walked by. He's in law enforcement, and a lot of people know him where we live ;) , but come on... It was the weirdest thing. And it wasn't just one or two people...no matter where we were, I'd notice people doing it. Finally, when we were walking around Ketchikan, a guy "driving" a horse-drawn wagon filled with tourists shouted "hey Paul!" Then it hit me...they thought he was Paul Teutal, from "American Chopper". Pretty funny! Does he look like him??? Not really...but there is a slight resemblance (especially with a bandana or backwards ball cap on)!

Yep, it sounds like the same guy :)
