Ever see anything totally shocking and unexpected on a cruise?

[psimon]

On a recent Carnival cruise I was sitting at the bar in the atrium watching the glass elevators. I saw a guy wearing a robe get on one of the elevators with three ladies (who I hope were with him!). As the elevator went up, he turned his back to the lobby, threw open his robe toward the ladies and shook...himself...in time with the music playing in the atrium. No idea if he was wearing anything underneath but it was pretty funny to watch.

A woman wearing a thong bikini who should NOT have been wearing a thong bikini.

If that's the worst you've ever seen...

To be fair, while I personally think things like spandex & thongs are privileges, not rights, I really don't have a problem with someone who's way more comfortable in their skin than I am in mine wearing whatever they feel comfortable in. Even if I don't really like how it looks...

We just got off the Fantasy and were hanging out on Satellite Falls on one of the sea days (for those of you who may not know, it's an adults-only section on deck 12 (13?) on the very forward of the ship). A man and woman with probably a 6 year old girl came walking through and one of the drink servers mentioned to them that it was adults only. The woman said that they just wanted to walk the girl past the scenery at the front of the boat and would leave and the server said ok... Ten minutes later, they were still hanging out there. Another server came by and asked them to leave. This time, the man got upset, raising his voice and waving his arms. He spent about 5 minutes yelling at the server for asking them to leave... even though it was clearly an adults only section and they had been hanging out there for far longer than just to show their daughter the view. They did finally leave once the man stopped yelling.

We were telling the story to one of the bartenders that night and she said she had been at Currents, the bar beside the adults-only pool, and a similar thing had happened, but when the man was asked to leave, he swore up and down that Guest Services had given him permission to have his child in the adults pool. They ended up having to get the Guest Services Manager come up and tell the man that they couldn't be there.

We compared descriptions of the men and they were definitely two different people.

Amazing how some people think they're so special that the rules don't apply to them.

We were there when the guys and his wife brought their daughter up there to satellite falls! We left before the yelling tho, I guess we missed out.

We were on a Princess cruise in Alaska about 12 years ago. I love whales and dolphins and was hoping to see some on the cruise. My SIL and I had even taken an whale watching excursion. There were some cute seals but no whales, and all week long no whales. So, it's the last night and we are coming into Seward. It's about 2am, and I can't sleep so I decide to go watch the ship dock. It's not all that dark because it was in late June. I am enjoying the peacefulness and no one else is on deck expect a few crew members on the section of the bridge that extends out over the water. They are watching the pilot's boat approach and then I notice the pilot has some friends. A pod of about 30 orcas is swimming close to the pilot boat The whales then swam along besides the Princess for about 5 minutes and them swam away. Of course I had no camera, but I was thrilled to see some whales. And, as I hadn't seen any all week it was unexpected.

I saw a woman changing her baby's diaper right there in MDR at dinner time. The baby was probably 1 year old, standing up, and she was changing pull-up type diaper.
It was quick, but I saw it because our table was next to theirs.

I just witnessed something very similar on the WBPC cruise. One night in Tritons we saw a baby striped down to its diaper and stood on the table. Gross. The MDR is not a appropriate place for that.

WOW That would have made the entire cruise $ worth it!

Wow. At least the woman I saw was letting her baby stand on the floor.

Are you sure that wasn't a comment on what they thought of the menu offerings?

When we were at castaway key earlier this month there was a mom letting her two little boys poop next to the line for cookies 2.

Ok, this is why is say, and I am sorry if this upsets some, "you need a license to drive a car. ". That is just gross and I would have ripped this parent a new one for that. Normally I keep my mouth shut, like I did during the diaper baby on the table and shake my head in disbelief, this I would have gone off.

There was some talk about this:


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TXrNr1Cuypk

What I learned from this, and all posts, is that it is a hobby for some.

I always wondered what the stateroom hostess must of thought and here she answers:


"They did come with us most of the time, but usually we wouldn't take them to breakfast so when the room people came in to clean we would leave them in their bed. The room people loved them, they met themÿ day one on the ship. So when they came in the room they weren't freaked out or anything lol The room person would actually move them and take them out of their bed so he could make it. And he would sit them back nicely and do cute little things with them. "

I don't really care, except that, mom and grandma....babys don't put their hand over their heads like that when you are dressing them...drives me crazy when their feet and arms are all wrong....

I would have hated being their tablemates for dinner. That's not mentally healthy.
