Most embarassing moments on your cruise. What are they? :-)

[Lady Chew]

OMG!! that has got to be the best story I've ever read here on CC!

[Bimmer babe]

Many years ago on a Princess cruise to Alaska, we took an excursion which took us up on top of a hill and we bicycled down. We stopped for a bit to catch our breath. I had to urinate badly and decided to go behind some bushes. Just then, a bus full of other tourists went by. They yelled and cheered at me since being higher up off the ground, they probably saw more than I would have liked!! :eek:

Lol! Hubby used to work in an office building about 6 stories beside a busy road. Between the road and the building there was a bunch of trees. One day they looked down and saw a guy peeing in the midst of the trees. He probably had no idea anyone could see him as they were on the 5th floor! Of course it was all men so he may not would have cared much anyway lol! Public bathrooms give men no privacy for peeing anyway!

Miya story comes from our first cruise in 2008. We had gone to our room to await our luggage after having lunch. We were new so weren't exactly sure when to expect delivery or how it was left.

We get to the room. I'm wearing a sundress and foundation garment under it trying to look my best. We're in fl, which is where we live.

I'm hot. So I take off my dress to cool down. I' m standing under the air conditioner in the middle of the room. All of a sudden our cabin steward walks right in with our bags. I jump behind my husband and grab my dress from the bed holding it in front of me.

My teenage daughter is laughing. The steward blushes, apologizes, backing out stating he didn't realize anyone was in the room.

Needless to say he surely knocked every time after that.

My story actually spans two cruises:

 

On the Dawn Princess in 1998, DH and I won the dinner companion lottery. We were seated at a table for eight with three other couples. From the first night, we all got along famously and were the last ones out of the dining room every night. One of the couples was two Dutch men (Hans and Yost, I'll never forget them!) Our head waiter was Mario from Italy. On the last night, after several cocktails, Hans and Yost taught us a hand signal that they said meant "excellent" in Italy and said that we should all make that motion when Mario came by to ask us how we had enjoyed our dinner/cruise.

 

So, when Mario came by and asked the question, all eight of us waved our hands back and forth next to our ears enthusiastically. But Mario did not seem pleased. In fact, all of the color drained from his face, he said "very well," and left quickly. Hmm, DH and I were puzzled by his reaction.

 

A couple of years later, Mario was our Maitre D' on the Sea Princess, and he recognized us. We asked him about his reaction to our show of appreciation on the Dawn. Being careful to be discreet, because our young daughter was with us, he let us know that what we had done was the equivalent of "flipping the bird" in the US. He said it took him until after we had left the dining room that night to figure out that Hans and Yost had tricked us!

I just thought of another one from that same Dawn Princess cruise! Didn't happen to us, but to one of our fun tablemates.

 

They were a couple on their honeymoon. The bride was beautiful and VERY tall (important later!) They had spent the day at Orient Beach enjoying many cocktails, and made it back to the ship just in time for her massage appointment. He went back to their cabin to wait for her and received a call from the spa asking if he could come assist them. Turns out that she had passed out on the massage table, and the petite spa girls weren't strong enough to assist her in getting her wet bathing suit back on her.

 

He showed up at dinner alone and looking somewhat disheveled. Apparently she had rallied enough to walk back to their cabin with him, where she proceeded to pass out again in a lounge chair on their balcony. He was afraid to leave her there, so had to lift and shuffle her onto the couch inside.

 

Our waiter was very gracious and made a plate for new husband to take back to her. Needless to say, she looked a little sheepish the next night at dinner!

My most embarrassing was having a seat team break into my cabin in sandrancisco at 5:45am

 

Five people

Guns out

My deaf uncle has still not said boo to me about or why he was dragged into the corridor I. His Jammie's

 

Talk about Chinese whispers

Our ninja room attendant you could never find all of a sudden wanted to know what happened

I was on the NCL Gem for St Patricks day in 2009 with several girlfriends. My cabin mate was heavier than me, but every morning her professional photos were fabulous! Her face from different angles was gorgeous! Meanwhile, every one of mine revealed a flaw of some sort.

I decided to ask the photographer to shoot me in the same manner as her. He did, I was thrilled!

The following night was formal night, there was a long line and our entire party of 12 wanted a picture together. The folks in line were commenting on how we all looked in our gowns.

My friend the photographer, comes over and grabs my chin, tilts it towards the flattering light, and says, " just head for you, right? Made you happy last night with just head?"

 

My response was met with applause.

"Absolutely".

 

Remains a running joke before every photo op in my crowd.

Okay here goes. But I have to give you a little history first. I have children in their 40s and when they were in their 20s we adopted a special needs child( Williams syndrome) last year I received an offer through CAS , also Mikayla was turning 18 and graduating high school, so it was the perfect gift. And of course with her disability she was taking life skills classes, which includes everything from sex education to learning how to do laundry. And for months she and I were planning the cruise, and I was preparing her about taping and ordering the drink of the day but with her only being 18 I would prefer no alcohol(although she can drink and go to the casino and international waters) we board the ship everything is absolutely perfect and she is in total awe. We go to the pool deck find a chair for the sail away party. The waiter comes by and is so nice and polite and proceeds to explain the drink of the day. And Mikayla politely says :that sounds really nice sir but I'm a virgin and can't have alcohol. I was speechless, The waiter just looks at me and smiles and I proceed to order two diet colas. He must have mentioned it to Others, because the next time we ordered a drink the waiter said."oh yes you are THE Virgin" to this day she doesn't understand that she was supposed to say virgin drink. So I do the ordering for her

On my last cruise we decided to rent bicycles in Key West. Just to give you an idea of the type of person I am I was 37 years old at the time, 506, and weigh 125lbs., I'm very athletic, competitive, and love adventures. I'm wearing a swim suit top and flip flops (which I don't recommend) Anyways, so me, my 18 year old daughter, her best friend, my mother, and my father (my competition) for the day, are cruising around on these nifty bicycles with little baskets on front. It had been pretty all day, and as we were starting back toward Smothers Beach to hit the Fury parasail it starts to rain. Me and my dad are constantly trying to one up each other, either jumping curbs, trying to splash each other with the many pot hole pools, and whatever else we can find. So I finally dig down and allow my dad a few feet ahead and I stand up and start to pedal as fast as I can. We have left the rest of our group way behind...can't even see them anymore. So as I'm attempting to pass him a car is coming along towards me so I jump the curb continue down the sidewalk, pedal faster as I'm still standing, I pass my dad, and hit another curb, and While I'm in mid air my freaking chain pops off the bicycle so my first initial response is do I run into the on coming car or eat the palm tree? Well first my toes and knees and sides, got mauled by the concrete as my feet were dragging across the pavement because as I stated before it was raining and my flops slipped of the pedals as I came down (not pretty), but I chose to hit the palm tree. The embarrassing thing is the car that was headed towards me witness the whole thing unravel and stopped to see if I was alright, a group of elderly men and women and ask me if I needed a ride somewhere...I politely stated no sir but thank you, as my dad zooms by me laughing uncontrollably. I then turn to the elderly gentleman as he has this look on his face of Discust like how can that man on that bicycle be human....I turn to him saying, that's my dad. He then stated hope you enjoy the rest of your time here. I met up with the rest of the fam about 2 blocks from where I got ditched, but I walked the rest of the way.[ATTACH]323241[/ATTACH]

I was sailing round the British Isles with my young daughter on Ruby Princess. One evening while getting showered and ready for dinner as I just got finished and started to dry off I could hear my daughter unsuccessfully swiping her door card outside cabin. I was totally naked, still a bit wet so decided to nip out quick hiding behind door of cabin; open it to let her in but only opened it a bit in case somebody was walking past. Turns out, not her, some American guy with a beard from a cabin a bit further along got the wrong door. He shouts OH MY GOD! and turns tail. Made me laugh anyway.

I went to bed before my husband, who came in later after playing at the casino.

 

I had forgotten about the chocolates on the pillows and just climbed into bed and fell asleep. He didn't think to check either - why would I have left chocolate on the bed?

 

In the morning I woke up and saw our sheets and screamed "ARE YOU OK?!" I thought he had $#!& the bed and was so sick or something he couldn't move. Of course me waking him up by screaming that was quite upsetting, and even more so when he looked down and saw the mess in the bed - thinking I had $#!& on him!!!!

 

We both jumped out of the bed and quickly realized what caused the mess. Of course, we were embarrassed about what the steward might think, but I'm hopeful we're not the first people in cruise history to fall asleep with our chocolates.

 

I'm fairly certain the next night the steward kindly left the chocolates on the desk instead of the bed. I still laugh thinking at how neither one of us knew what was happening - just that we were both looking down at the sheets, horrified and concerned about one another.

There was a sketch on the Alan Partridge show exactly on this problem. He eventually got to go to bed with his secretary after months of trying and they didn't hit it off too well. A lot of conversation and small talk in bed about the pedestrianisation of Norwich City centre etc. She became a bit detached and started to each a Chocolate Mousse in the bed. Alan was mortified and said to be careful with it. He said "Don't get any on the sheets the staff will think we are having a 'Dirty Protest'".

 

Lol John

[newtampagirl]

Ditto. Been there, done that.

[galensgrl]

Been reading this thread and I am shocked. Seems all these stories of couples getting amorous on board and doing all these love making things. Didn't have any idea this was going on while on board. Going to have to let my wife in on this little secret for our upcoming cruise. Might have to cancel a couple reservations we have. Ha Ha (this is all very tongue in cheek of course)

 

And here I am hoping that on our next cruise hubby and I will actually find the time to make it to one of those excursion thingies...;)

A few years ago we were on the Navigator in a nice midship cabin.

 

One night, at about 2am, there was a really loud banging on the cabin door. In the dark, and half asleep, I put my robe on and went to see who it could be at that time of night............imagine my horror when I found my naked OH standing out in the corridor.

 

He'd gone to the bathroom and then, half asleep, had gone the wrong way & out of the door! Although it looked very quiet (thank goodness) I'm sure the security guards checking the CCTV must have had a chuckle.

 

It's not the first time either..........he's done that a couple of times in hotels!
