A few years ago on our first cruise our DD was 3 years old. Now my DD has always been perfectly well behaved. We had taken her to many 4 and 5 star restaurants prior to the cruise all with no incidents. She is a quiet child with a big, beautiful smile. We had a WONDERful 4 days onboard. No problems in the clubs or at dinner.

Well, at the end of the cruise we gathered our luggage and were walking through the parking lot to our vehicles. My DD innocently asked "where are we going?" I replied the cruise is over...we are going home.

She screamed "NOOOOOOOO!!!! I don't want to leave" With that she started walking back toward the ship. There we were 7 adults with luggage trying to chase down a wayward 3 year old. Once caught, she did the "limp noddle" thing that kids do. She would not budge.

I had to physically carry my little girl to the van and strap her in. You would have thought we were kidnappers!!! We were all panting, laughing and sweating from capturing our stowaway wantabe!

As cute a story as that may be, I am pretty sure my parents would have beat my butt for doing something like that. And they wouldn't have cared if there was anyone around. In fact, I am certain of it.

OK, so I know I posted my "funniest" story already, but I forgot the other one! When we were in Cozumel, my DH wanted to buy some tequila, but he didn't want to overpay. So, he's in a bar, and he asks the bartender where to get a good deal. The bartender suggests that he go to a local grocery store, about two blocks away. (I should note that it is getting late in the day, and we need to be back on the boat shortly).

So, I stay behind to do some shopping, and DH takes off. He gets to the store, and remembers that he doesn't speak any Spanish, so he does what any good American would do, he speaks English louder "WHERE'S THE TEQUILA!" Luckily he doesn't completely scare off the woman he asks, and she uses hand motions to get him to the right place in the store.

He successfully completes his purchase (in American dollars), and decides that he better grab a cab or he is going to miss the last tender. He jumps into cab, and tells the driver that he needs to go to the cruise terminal, and the driver starts driving in the opposite direction. It appears that there are two terminals in Cozumel (who knew?), and he started heading to that one! Luckily DH is able to communicate that he needs to go in the other direction, and he makes it back with his cheap, but good, tequila, without a moment to spare.

Three years later, we still haven't drank the tequila.

My daughter saw me sitting on the edge of the pool and came up from behind me and pushed push dear ol' dad in the water. Then a few seconds later when dad came up spitting water all over, she realized IT WASN'T ME ! It was another guy that looked like me from behind.
I saw the whole thing from my chair. At first I couldn't imagine why she would push some strange guy in the water because she's a nice kid. After the guy looked at her and my daughter turned 3 shades of purple (way past red) I realized what had happened.
Good thing the guy had a sense of humor too.

this reminds me of when my wife and I was at a grocery store and we went off in seperate places getting things. than i think i see my wife i come up behind her and give her a little smack on her butt and it wasnt her. i just said sorry i thought you were my wife. first she was a little mad than she thought it was funny

My DS16 is a total performer, will do anything for an audience (he's actually a very good musician), and loves to be in the limelight. So it wasn't a surprise when he told me he had played "some pirate game" and had been made captain of the team. I didn't hear much more about it, but it must have been terrific -- we were getting in the elevator with him on the last morning heading to breakfast. A mom and her young (7?) daughter got on with us. The mom looked at my son, did a double take, and started shrieking. "You know who this is? It's the Captain of the Powder Monkeys! That was the greatest game ever!" Now all we have to say to him is "You know who this is?" and we all start to crack up.

The only funny story I have is that I've been a big Disney fan since pretty much the beginning, yet somehow I've not taken a Disney cruise.

But that will change soon...

 

[i<3castawaycay123]

oh these are 2 funny!!! hahahaha
I love the one with the drunk mexican!!! ahahaha

My fuuniest cruise memory (well there are 2) are both on our 3rd cruise. My little brother was 4 at the time and he loves to get all dressed up. For formal night either my mom or grandmother had bought him a tux. Now he is a big lover of James Bond or anything that has a gun. So he puts the tux on and my dad does his hair and he looks in the mirror and says, "Hey, I look like James Bond!" He was so impressed!


The other one is pre cruise. We had flown down on the Thursday before our cruise and we were going to Disney World that night for Mickeys Not So Scary Halloween Party. Our hotel was about 1 hour away so my dad used his GPS system to get there. Now how hard do you think it is to fing Disney World with all the signs say, "This way to Disney World", "Disney World exit here."? Well apparently its really hard for a GPS system. So my dad punches in Walt Disney World and we start driving. It takes us past all those signs. GPS says turn left here is your destination. We turn left and we enter a buisness park. My mom says "I think this isnt Disney Word". and my dad says "Yeah it is its their corporate office!"

Later my dad says something and my grandmother spit water all over him in the backseat!

I was in the theater before that night's show was about to start and this father and his son were sitting right behind me. This was the conversation:

Dad: "Here."
Son: "Dad! Mom said no more sugar."
Dad: "There's no sugar in Skittles."

Mine isn't as funny as some of the other ones on here but I figured everyone can enjoy a little chuckle out of it...

In February I took my mom & Sister on their first ever Cruise (Disney of course) and we were on the 4 day Wonder cruise...well it just so happened that while out at sea we ran into a cold front which left it quite windy out on the decks. Well one day (I believe it was Nassau or Castaway Cay day) we decided that since it was nasty outside (very overcast and rainy and cold) we would stay on the ship (went off to explore but quickly made it back) We decided to eat some lunch up on deck 9 while being one of the only few outside in the windy air...

Well we had eaten our food and my sister had grabbed a bag of the Lays potato chips and opened them up and poured them onto her plate to enjoy...just about the time she had emptied the WHOLE bag onto her plate, a HUGE gust of wind came thru and blew her potato chips clear across the deck and as we were laughing about the walk by chipping (thinking of how embarrassing it would have been if anyone was walking by and got hit by any of the flying chips) my mom proceeds to start pulling chips out of her shirt By this time I was crying hysterically with laughter...Fast forward till the last night of the cruise...we are watching the "Till we meet again" gathering in the atrium and joking about being careful with her shirt because of the "pixie dust" that will fall (yes I warned her ahead of time due to the chipping incident) And what happens?!?!? YUP she brought back more pixie dust to the room than the ones she spent about 20 minutes picking up from the floor...only these were hideaways in her shirt

Sorry mom if you are reading this thread...I couldn't resist telling this story...and you know it was inevitable when I read the topic to you the other day and u said OH NO!!

The funniest part is that during both incidents, she had on a shirt that seemed darn near impossible for any items to find their way down...LOL

OOOH....the Match Your Mate game.

However, I'll keep it clean. This will date me, but you remember the "My dog's better than your dog" commercial? While in port, we were across the pier from a Carnival ship. A group of teens launched into "My ship's better than your ship" with each verse having a reason why the Magic was better than Carnival. (My ship's better 'cuz we have MICKEY, 'cuz it's way prettier, etc) It was cute...and true....until some Carnival guests didn't find it so funny.

I have one!

We were on our first DCL cruise back in January and it was our first day at sea. We slept in a bit, so we quickly showered, dressed, left our room with wet hair & grabbed a couple of croissants to eat by the pool.
My daughter decided she wanted to go to the kids club and see what was going on, and I was happy to take my book to the adult area and read for a while.
I was reading and for some reason kept feeling like people were looking at me oddly. I am not a 'thin' person and thought maybe they were laughing at the fat lady in a swim coverup by the pool (kinda self conscious that way - but I was not the only overweight person at the pool!). I was feeling awkward so I got up and decided to start heading back to the room for a bit. The wind blew my hair into my face and I wiped it back off my face, and was wondering why my hair felt kinda slimy and sticky, and still a bit wet (this was over 1.5 hours after I showered!).
I quickly went into a washroom and looked in a mirror....
I had forgotten to rinse my conditioner out in the shower!!!! I had globs of white in my hair. I had brushed my hair when I got out of the shower, and we were racing out to go have fun, and I didn't even notice. As my hair dried, it looked like a big STICKY GLOBBY mess - some white globs here and there, and the rest just looked like greasy stringy hair and like i had not washed it in weeks!
I wanted to die!! I RAN back to our room to rinse it, and wouldn't you know it - our steward was in there cleaning! I quickly locked myself in the bathroom and hopped in the shower!

I was so embarrassed and constantly wondering if people were pointing and saying 'there's that woman who doesn't wash her hair!'. LOL

Our first DC was Dec 08/Jan 09. I had read on the boards about pirate night and we were all excited to dress up. My DH dressed as Jack Sparrow. With the sense of humor my DH has, he decided to really get into his role as Jack Sparrow. We all know that Jack likes a nip here and there. My DH was stumbling and swaying everywhere he went (no alcohol involved). Every time someone got close to him, he would use a quote from Jack such as: "Nuff said" or "What are you doing here? You look bloody awful." Our whole family thought this was hysterical. We were stopped several times and asked for a photo with Jack. As we made our way to the Goofy Pool for the Pirate Party, my DH was stopped at least 10 times by CMs asking if he was okay and did he need to be escorted back to his room. We could not stop laughing because the CMs really thought that he had too much to drink and that is why he was stumbling all over the ship. At this point, my DD (age 7) decided that she didn't think all of this was as funny as we (DH, DD-- age 5 and DS age 10) did so she pipes up with a pirate accent and says: "Oh, Jackie, knock it off." We all about hit the floor. We still laugh about it today and can't wait for our next pirate night in May 2009.

Thanks to everyone for sharing your stories. Some funny stuff, for sure. I only wish I could think of something to share. Maybe when my memory, I mean my husband, gets home later.

For our last cruise I had packed all my children's suitcases a full 3 weeks in advance. All goes well, we get to the port, board the Magic, head up to parrot cay for a yummy first day lunch, then head out to let the kids swim..we had them wear their suits under their cloths. An hour later our cabin is finally available..go inside to unpack....look up to find 2 booty butt naked twin boys I was like "Boys..why are you naked"? They were like we are wet from swimming and are going to put on some shorts/shirts. I said "well, don't forget to put on your underware first". They were like "We can't.....we left it all at home" "You WHAT"?? "Yes" they said.."we needed room for all of our toys that YOU forgot to pack"!!! Sure enough I open their suitcases and it is OVER FLOWING with action figures, stuffed animals, leggos, etc... So I tell DH that I need to run down to Mickeys Mates to look for underware "NO not for me...gggrrrrrr...ASK your boys". Well, I ended up with the last laugh because when I looked for replacement underware, I couldn't find any...so I asked one of the Cm's who kindly told me they were 100% out of little boys underware...BUT they did have some REALLY cute Princess Panties. Boy were my boys UPSET I was like.."Hey you can't wear leggos, but you can were Belle" Between you and me..I took a photo...Just to use as a bribe later when they are teenagers.

OMG! That's just priceless! I say those pictures need to go onto their engagement/wedding rehearsal slide shows when they get older.

This really wasn't too funny at the time, but in hindsight I guess it was. We have 4 children, two of whom are in their 20's and although unmarried, they are pretty much out on their own. A few years ago my mom died at Christmas time, which was hard, and when the next Christmas rolled around we decided to take a trip with all of our kids instead of buying a lot of gifts, to sort of create a new Christmas memory since the year before had been so difficult.

We booked a special 4 day Magic cruise, leaving on Dec 26th, and splurged on balcony cabins - we are usually cat. 10 people. Well , much to our dismay, we were not able to use those balconies because the people right next door were using theirs..... and not just to sit and look at the lovely water , if you know what I mean. They were almost ALWAYS on that balcony and they had interesting "sound effects" to go along with their actions. We assumed that perhaps this was their honeymoon and rarely dared to even put a wet suit out to dry on our chairs! The kids were disgusted- especially the younger two.

We dreaded bumping into them in the hall, which we finally did on the last day - honeymooners they were not..... or at least not young ones... they were both gray haired and appeared to be in at least their late 60S !
