Post your funniest story from a Disney Cruise!

[Kurby]

my DD Cassandra and Mickey had a bow off.

It was really cute.

On our last night (sea day) we had dinner at Triton's and when we left we saw the line to meet Mickey.

we waited in line and as seen here, Cassie loved meeting Mickey







Well after these pictures were taken

This happened.










I only caught the end of it but believe me there were 3 or 4 bow's each before I flipped the settings back from photo to video.

it really was cute to see them bowing to each other.

Ok try to picture this, Christmas 2007 Land and Sea. 4 day cruise to Nassau virgin cruisers. After checking out the ship we run down in a hurry to grab our life vest. As we rush from our cat 2 to the WDT DH is about 5 paces behind me declaring something feels funny. I yell NO TIME we are late for roll call lets go we will figure it out when we get there.

We rush in find our group they start the drill as soon as our butts hit the seat. the whole time DH is squirming pulling at his life vest around his neck (which is on the thick side as it is) and keeps elbowing me claiming something is wrong with his Life vest. I abrubtly say "your fine and we going to miss something very important please stop talking"

Right about then an officer assisting our group walks over and says to DH "Sir you do realize that you have a child's life vest on?" The families behind us and in front burst into laughter. DH just looks at me and I let out a little OOPS I made it up to my husband later

Hahahaha This is hilarious!!

I saw this thread and this one just popped into my head...

I should preface by saying that as soon as my oldest started handling his "bathroom time" by himself at 3 or so, I always kept a container of "wipies" of some sort in our bathroom to help my kids with personal hygiene.

The first time we cruised DCL it was during the huge cruise ship Norwalk Virus scare, when they had recently had to take the Magic out of service for a week just to clean it because so many people were becoming ill. This was the talk of the news, the boards, everywhere. I came prepared with Lysol, antibacterials, you name it.

The first day on board, my DS (8 at the time) came wandering out after using the bathroom looking perplexed and slightly uncomfortable. He wandered around for a few minutes looking more and more ill at ease and finally said "Mom, those wipes you brought are burning me." A little checking revealed he had used the CLOROX bleach wipes! Doubt he's been THAT clean before or since!

Can we get some more funny stories, I love this thread and would hate to see it die.

At the time, this was not funny...but everyone that hears it tells me differently!!

On our very first DCL cruise (2006) My DD (just turned 3 at the time) LOVED the kids club. Both kids begged every day to be left there. It was formal night and we left them there and then at 8pm went to check on them. They were playing happily and we decided to go to the hot tub for a little bit. My kids typically are in bed around 7:30pm (of course, we stay up later on cruises!) so thinking it was getting late we went back around 9pm to get them.

I found my DS right away and started looking for DD...I could not find her ANYWHERE!! I did what any good mom would do and started FREAKING OUT! OK, I wasn't that bad, but they did call a CM Manager over to help us find her. I searched everywhere with them (including the bathroom)...I even looked under the closed stalls to see any little feet.

Well, this whole thing only lasted about 10 minutes (too long for me) and finally the manager said, "Ma'am, is this your daughter?"...and calls me to the bathroom. She had opened a stall to show my DD in her BEAUTIFUL formal princess dress asleep sitting up on the toilet. She had TP in her hand and had done her business (...and stinky one at that!) and just didn't get around to finishing!

Of course, I was mad they had "lost" my DD, but it was quite a sight. Of course, we picked her up, cleaned her off and she NEVER woke up the whole time. The next morning she said, "mommy, I don't remember you getting me?"

No pictures were taken!

To the previous poster, that really did give me a good chuckle! Kids are SO funny!

On our recent cruise, we had just finished 3 whirlwind days in WDW before embarking on the Wonder. My 6 year old DS was SO excited to be on the ship. Day two we were in Nassau and took a taxi ride over to Atlantis. We had told the kids prior to going to Atlantis that we would take the Ferry Taxi back to the ship afterwards. SO, when afterwards came, we started our walk over to where the Ferry's are. My 6 year old asked "When are we going on the Tinkerbell ride" . He had asked this earlier too as we were leaving the ship. It didn't mean anything to me, but now he was being persistent in asking So here's what the conversation went like:
DS: "When are we going on the Tinkerbell ride"
Me: We aren't going on a Tinkerbell ride.
DS: But you SAID we were going to go on a Tinkerbell ride!
Me: I never said anything such thing, all the rides were in WDW, we are on Mickey's Ship now.
DS: YOU LIED TO ME THEN! YOU SAID WE WERE GOING ON A TINKERBELL RIDE TODAY!
Me: I never said any such thing, I SAID " We are taking a taxi ride then a ............

Thats when it clicked for me, FAIRY RIDE BACK TO THE SHIP!!!!

In his little 6yr old mind, The word FERRY, meant TINKERBELL!
Well, once I laughed and explained to him exactly what it was we were going on, and this, as we turned the corner so you could now see the Ferry, my DS flew into a HUGE Panic attack all of the sudden. No WAY was he getting on that Ferry! DH and my other 3 children were now already on the Ferry, and DS6 stopped walking. I had to pick him up and carry him kicking and screaming. This I realizied was NO tantrum, he was truly, absolutely terrified and we could not understand why! He screamed and cried till the boat was on a steady pace back to the ship. We later figured that he thought this boat was just going to go SO FAST, and he was afraid he'd fall out or something. He calmed down once he realized we were only going as fast as we were at that moment. Here's the photo of the terrified child:

Yes, we can laugh at the whole thing now, even DS 6 laughs at this photo now.

While I'm sure my story won't even compare to some of these, I'd feel left out if I didn't get in on the fun. On our 2006 cruise, we went on a beach excursion in Costa Maya. The "short, scenic 30 minute drive to the beach" entailed a crazy bus driver taking our lives in our hands on these very narrow, dirt roads in the middle of NOWHERE, swamp on one side, swamp on the other. After a harrowing trip, low & behold we find ourselves at a very nice resort for the day. So everyone is good & happy after a fun day at the beach, I ask the usual "Mom question"....."Does anyone have to use the restroom before we leave?", "No,Mom".OK, 'nuff said. So back on the bus of death we go. About 10 minutes into the trip wouldn't you know it, my DD (9 at the time) says "I have to go to the bathroom", "try to hold it"....bump,bump, speeding along, nope, she can't hold it. So my DH goes up to the kamikazee bus driver & asks if he can pull over so she can go to the bathroom. I guess weighing the option of staying on his very tight schedule or cleaning a mess on the bus & anticipating the $20. tip my DH gave him, he pulled over. So my DD uses the side of the road & DH's tshirt to get some much needed relief. All I can say is good thing Costa Maya has a public pool & showers on the dock!!! So that's my story.....& I'm sticking to it!!!

U forgot about the Coconuts hitting the bus while going down that dirt road!! And the "sea horse"!

I finally convinced my DW that if she snorkels at CC that there are no sharks and the "pretty blue and yellow fish" won't bite you! Soe we swim out looking for the Mickey and the shipwreck, after about 45 mins she got a little bold and swam off on her own a little bit. We were by yhe shipwreck and I started to swim another direction when I hear flailing of arms and legs and screaming, yep she turned and was face to face with the 4ft barracuda which makes it's home by the ship... I thinks she ran across the top of the water to shore........

Mine happened about a month ago aboard a 3 day cruise on the wonder (Nov 5 sailing):

It was the last night of the cruise, and after spending a terrific day on Castaway Cay, we were speeding our way back to Port Canaveral. It was late, around 11pm and the family was all back in our cabin (6071). Our 9 yr old ds was fast asleep, and our 14yr old ds was watching a movie and was fading fast. I look over to my wife and ask if she'd like to go for a little late night stroll. I wanted to see deck 4; I'd heard you can walk all the way around the boat so I wanted to try it. She smiles and goes into the bathroom, only to emerge a few moments later with her hair all done and her make up on. She looked great! So I tell ds to just go to sleep and me and his mother would be back in about 30 minutes. If he needed us just use the cell phone.

So we head out to the elevator and head for deck 4. It had been a little rough weather wise, with then tropical storm IDA around us, but as I looked out the port hole, I saw the moon! "Stay right here for a moment Honey" and I dash over to the Cadillac lounge and got 2 drinks (non alc. for her) in those souvenir glasses and returned.

We were all ready for a romantic moonlight stroll.........

We stepped through the doors onto deck 4, and as I turned to take her hand, it happened......we hit a rather big wave, so big that the bow dipped down, we felt the boat rock, the wind picked up from 10 to what seemed like 100 mph. The wind was so strong it carried sea spray back and half soaked us and knocked us both on our bottoms as our souvenir glasses went tumbling and smashed to pieces further down the deck!! (plastic)

I get up and go to help my wife up as we both were laughing so hard we were crying....we haven't laughed that hard in years!! I look like a beached whale, and my beautiful wife looks like a cross between Alice Cooper (with her make up running down her cheeks) and Carrot Top (her red hair was now blown out almost like a clown wig!!)

We go back inside and sit in the chairs overlooking the main lobby, still laughing and trying to recoup, and a CM, almost like she was waiting for us, says "SO.....are you ready to book your next Disney cruise?"......classic!

Try doing a search...there is a lengthy thread on this exact subject!! Yours would be a great story to add to it!!!

People really do have some very funny stories concerning DCL!!!

P.S. I drive through Wash. Twp all the time!!!

I see the other thread was just added to today....so I am going to merge the two threads and then your story will be with the others.

These are great - makes me wish I was there having some more great memories!

We (DH, myself, DSister & DBil) were having brunch in Palo on Monday. The entire meal there was a young teenage couple on the deck making out....seriously making out and we were there for probably an hour and a half. They were really making a spectacle of themselves and became the joke of the restaurant and since we were some of the last to leave we were really laughing with the restaurant staff about them. My husband came up with a great idea.

After we ate we went outside and one couple stood on both sides of them, said "we heard this was makeout point" and started kissing. They left immediately. It was pretty funny.

We saw them several times on the cruise but everytime we got close they ran the other way!

Well it was a windy stormy cruise.

A guy in the head slipped with his razor and cut his nose off. Then he dropped the razor and cut his toe off.

The ship’s doctor mistakenly sewed his toe to his face and his nose to his foot now every time he sneezes he blows his shoe off.

Seems that is all he could do since they were at sea. Normally in a case like that with a severed toe, they'd just simply call a "toe truck".

On our last cruise, I surprised my 9 year old daughter with a Summer at Sea with the Disney stars. We had just been on a cruise the month before so she was not expecting it. We went with a friend and her daughter and the kids thought we were going to the beach. Well, we decided we would pull into the port and get a photo of the ship and oops - we were in the line to pull up to the boat - then we decided we would just jump on the boat for lunch - my daughter freaked! She started screaming for us to turn back - then for us not to open the doors - she was yelling - No mom no - we can't gooooooo! I told her we had tickets and it was okay, but she would not believe me. Here we were, at the port, our luggage on the curb and my 9 year old refusing to get out of the car, screaming "No I don't want to go!" l had to show her the tickets with her name on it before she would calm down and get out of the car - she thought we were going to try to "sneak" on the cruise and would get into trouble! Soon after she was all smiles.

We did the eastbound repro cruise to the Med in the spring of 2007. I had never been to Europe before, and although we did a half day excursion at Cadiz that was wonderful, I wanted to do some more exploring.

I left my wife and kids at the ship, and set off to find out what the town had to offer. Keeping in mind that I don't speak any Spanish, and my pantomiming isn't much better, I figured I'd just stick to the main streets and I'd be fine. How hard could it be to find a giant ship with Mickey on the funnel?

Of course, I got completely lost, and spent many hours wandering aimlessly. I wasn't worried, though, until it started getting dark - then I began to have visions of the ship taking off without me!

Finally, I worked my way to the waterfront, but I still saw no sign of the dock or the ship. After wandering vaguely towards the setting sun, I came accross a group of, for lack of a better word, teenage toughs - you know the kind, rough looking kids, smoking cigarettes and hanging out, looking for something to do and up to no good. The area they were hanging out was covered in broken glass and grafitti, and I sort of thought I might have seen rats playing volleyball down by the water.

Fortunately, I had been one of those kids thirty years ago, so I was only a little worried that they'd take my wallet. I approached the group and attempted, in english, to explain that I was lost and ask if they knew where the cruise ships docked. They, of course, stared at me like I had ten heads. Finally, I must have uttered the magical phrase "Disney Cruise" and their faces all lit up. "Mickey Mouse! Si, si..." and the whole pack of them walked me about a half a mile to where the ship was. The only thing I understood from them the whole way (being teenagers, they talked incessantly) was when they'd name a Disney character..."Blah, blah, blah, Donald Duck! Blah, blah, blah Goofy! Yeee-hee-hee-hooey!""

I must have walked close to twenty miles that day (most of it in circles, I'm sure), and by the time I got back to our cabin, it was almost time for supper. I was so tired, that I laid down on the bed (just for a minute) and of course woke up just in time for breakfast! I can't help but wonder, if it weren't for those kids hanging out by the water that day, if I would still be wandering around, tryng to find those red smokestacks!

So glad that story had a happy ending....it could have turned out a whole different way!!
