Who's the most famous person you ever met (or saw) on a Carnival cruise?

Jenna Jameson. Destiny 2005. Here's a pic of her with my brother and brother-in-law in one of the clubs...

Only a very few people seemed to recognize her' date=' and we hung out with her and her husband at the time, Jay.[ATTACH']106658[/ATTACH]

 

I'm not surprised. In your picture she's covering everything most people would recognize. :D

Was on a Disney Cruise and Aaron Carter (brother of Nick Carter - Backstreet Boys), was filming a concert for Disney on Castaway Cay. Nick was on board for part of the cruise and I was elbow to elbow with him in one of the bars one evening. My daughter was so jealous when I got home and told her.

My buddies and I were on RCCL Liberty of the Seas last year for my birthday. We booked the Royal suite for my big 40. It was amazing.

 

While in the Concierge lounge the first night, the Concierge was talking to us and in walked Rusty Wallace. We are not nascar fans at all but we kinda knew who he was. Well, Rusty was telling the Concierge that the suite he had would be ok for him since they were unable to get the Royal suite. We just laughed. We had the suite he wanted!!!! He was saying how his "people" were contacting RCCL every day to get him that suite for the cruise up to the time of sailing.

 

The Concierge walked Rusty over to us and introduced us as the guys who had the Royal suite. We then figured out why we had gotten several calls from RCCL to be moved, all with increasing shipboard credit during each call, to a different suite, but we refused. We booked it, paid for it and wanted it.

 

We met him every night in the lounge for pre-dinner drinks and he was extremely nice to us he entire week. He did ask to see the suite and of course, we showed him.

 

 

Hehe we beat out a celebrity!!!!!!.

I was on a cruise several years ago and Mary Wilson (The Supremes) was performing..Later she came into the casino and sat down next to me at the blackjack table, she was very friendly and talkative...I won but she didn't, she had a guy behind her passing her money.....Dennis

In 2001, my sister and I went on our first cruise to Key West and Cozumel. While in Key West, we went on a catamaran and snorkeling excursion. While sunbathing and drinking, we sat next to a man, his brother, his wife and 2 kids. We talked to them for quite awhile and took several pictures. All of them were very nice and down to earth.

 

Next day someone commented on how cool was it that Rusty Wallace and his brother Kenny were on our excursion. Now I am not a Nascar fan but my sister is. We both asked which one was Rusty. They go you know the man you talked to for hours? Yes! That's him. :eek: So I have pics of Rusty in his bathing suit. lol

 

Kenny Wallace is VERY nice!! I have pics of him with my kids. We met him at Homestead/Miami raceway while all the teams were there practicing for the race a few years back. He even gave my son a nickname and kept calling him that when he would see him.

 

I am a Marine veteran of Desert Storm...I had breakfast one morning with a World War 2 Marine who was Jewish and a POW in Germany.

 

I will never forget that breakfast.

 

That is priceless!!!

In 2007 on the triumph out of Miami we saw Andre 3000 from the pop music group Outcast. He was with his family and he was real nice. My DD actually played with his son the whole cruise.

Hate to disillusion y'all but the Stevie Wonder who is flown in? Nuh uh. He's a Stevie Wonder look-a-like and he's on LOTS of different Carnival cruises. He's one of the Africn American singers that performs on different nights and he puts on the wig and costume. Come on, do you REALLY think Stevie Wonder is going to fly into Carnival cruises on a regular basis? If so, I've seen him 3 times. "Stevie's" been doing "surprise performances" for maybe 2 years? I got a kick out of people taking pictures w/ their cell phones of some guy and then talking about how they saw Stevie Wonder.

On our Valor 2005 Cruise, there was a large group of past Bachelor/Bachelorette rejects!!! Man, were they full of themselves!!! No wonder they were the rejects!!!:p

That's the difference between amateur stars and professional stars:D

[GB Chicago]

we think we saw Rod Steward (so did the TSA guy) in the Miami airport coming home from the Destiny on Thursday!

Hi SKAY, my DW and I were on the Carnival Victory Eastern Cruise March 2008. On our last evening there was a Motown show with a "suprise visit" by Stevie Wonder.

 

Some say he was fake but he sure looked and sounded like the real deal to me.

 

Happy Sailing

We were on the Disney Magic in March of 2006 and my dh swore he saw Joey Fatone from NSYNC. Im like yeah right, you probably wouldnt know who he was. Turns out he was right. We ran into him all week and I chatted with him in the elevator. We even did the tequila tasting with him.

[nealthedeal]

ME! :rolleyes:

On our first cruise, actually the Dawn Princess in 1997, my husband and I had a dinner table for four. The first night no one else came and sat by us. The second night, our waiter told us that our tablemate was the entertainer, Red Buttons, and that if we wanted, he would be joining us for dinner that evening. We dined with Mr. Red Buttons two or three nights that cruise. He was very pleasant and we had an easy time talking to him. It turns out we are from Kentucky and his wife raised horses and came often to Kentucky especially the Kentucky Derby. Mr. Buttons has since passed, but we will always remember him as our famous diner mate.

That's a pretty cool tablemate!!

Peter Noon of Hermans' Hermits fame was the headliner on the Legend several years ago. He signed CDs. He was very pleasant. Also ME, guitar played for Rosie and the Originals.........

On Carnival, the most famous so far would be the guy that played Carmine on Laverne and Shirley. He performed on the Tropicale in 2001, and is surprisingly good (he does Tony Bennett type music). On the Grand Princess in 1999, Darius Rucker, lead singer of Hootie and the Blowfish and currently solo on the country charts, got married. Him and some of his entourage sat next to us at karaoke night. I wish now I had the guts to sing one of his songs in front of him.

Not Carnival , but Disney. We were on the Magic with Joey Fatone from *NSYNC. It was pretty cool seeing him with his family all over the ship.

He used to sail fairly regularly, and yes, I actually have signed copy. When we met on the cruise, we went up and introduced ourselves and said how much we admired him and his company. Next day we got an invitation dine with him and the senior staff. During that dinner we found out he had (at least at that time) one of the largest and biggest private wine cellars in the country. Great guy.
