Our confession is we accidentally sent a shuffleboard disc flying overboard (and it almost hit a guest below)!
We were on the Dream docked at Castaway Cay. Our teen sons were playing shuffleboard on Deck 4.
One of the boys pushed the disc down the lane and it flipped on it's narrow edge and then starting rolling. Somehow it managed to find a small slot where the Plexiglas meets the ship frame. If the disc had been flat down it would have been stopped by the glass, but because it was on it's side, it slid right through.
We ran over to look and were horrified to see a line of people queuing up below to get back on the ship. A woman yelled up to us "it didn't hit anyone!" I hate to think what would have happened if it had hit someone.
We were concerned about getting in trouble, but realized there were cameras everywhere and they would be able to see it was an accident. A few minutes later a crew member (I think it was Christiaan) came strolling by and we explained what happened. He was surprised also, but said he'd let someone know.
This is a photo from my trip report taken on Nassau day. I used it to try to point out the area where the disc went through.
