What Is The Funniest Thing You've Witnessed While In The Terminal Or On The Ship?


Recommended Posts

For me, it was in Brand X's Terminal in Port Everglades.  A middle aged women tried to give the Kiosk Lady a SNAP card to use to secure her account.  Obviously, it was not acceptable.  The more the attendant tried to explain why they would not accept a SNAP card, the louder the lady got.  It was amazing, to me, how the attendant kept her cool.  After several minutes of screaming, the lady said, with a lot of 4 letter words being used, "Okay, I'll give you my *&*%# cash".  She opened her very large purse, pulled out a very large wad of cash and handed it over to the attendant without even counting it.  The attendant counted it in front of her and said that it was exactly $1,500,00.  The lady said, "Ya, that the *&&^%$ amount and you just took my *&^%$ casino money from me".  After completing whatever else that was required, the lady asked, "I hope you are *&^% happy now" and stomped, and I do mean stomping her feet, all the way to the waiting area.  And while she was in the waiting area she was talking to herself, loudly, about how she just got screwed/@#$%^ by Brand X.  I'm only surprised that she was allowed to proceed and not escorted out of the terminal, she may have been eventually as I never saw her on the ship.  However, I was almost on the floor laughing at how much of a spectacle she was making of herself.  

I've never seen anything like that at a Royal terminal, thankfully.  But, I just couldn't believe that someone would try to use a SNAP card to pay for a cruise account and then get hyper angry over its nonacceptance.

I have no idea what a SNAP card is, however, I’m really not surprised in the least bit as I e witnessed verbal altercations many times at the check in counter (seems to be a hot bed of activity).

Dude walking around with a Flava Flav clock hanging from his neck, a drink in his hand (one of many, I assume), and kept going up to people asking them if they knew what time it was. He then jumped in the pool fully clothed, still wearing said clock. I laughed. 

Are you sure this was not famed RCBlog Illuminati “cooking yo”?

First time in Cozumel, sitting on our port side balcony waiting for the ship to depart, a gentleman suddenly appears sprinting down the dock towards the ship with both arms loaded with shopping bags.  Unfortunately for him, the gangway had already been pulled back and he was stopped by 2 security guards who turned him around and started walking with him back to the port.  The whole time, he kept turning around and looking at the ship while still clutching all those bags.

If anyone had witnessed my brother-in-law trying to zipline in Jamaica, they would have had a good laugh.  Fortunately for him, it was a tamer course with mattresses on the end of each run to cushion the runaways.  He needed each one of them.  He was bruised when it was done.

From Google - "The Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) is the largest federal nutrition assistance program. SNAP provides benefits to eligible low-income individuals and families via an Electronic Benefits Transfer card. This card can be used like a debit card to purchase eligible food in authorized retail food stores."

Formerly food stamps, also known in same areas as EBT

M poor grandson spent about 6 hours in the wave pool at CocoCay and running to the Snack Shack.  As we were leaving, he looks at me, turns green & says “I don’t feel good”🤢. God love the girl at the towel station “right over by that bush sweetheart, we’ll clean it up”.  Then she took him to the bar & got him a can of ginger ale.  What a great employee.

SNAP is the latest iteration of "Food Stamps", but it is a debit type card.

I love watching the Youtube videos of the "Pier Runners".

I posted mine already in another thread, but it still makes me shake my head whenever I think about it (and wonder how the RC staff replied):  At the end of our cruise, heading off the ship to the terminal to get our luggage, we witnessed a lady berating an employee that HER luggage hadn't made it down yet, yelling "But you've had it since 10:00 last night!!"

Since the Statue of Limatations has ran its time I'll tell my now funny story.  We were booked on a 15 night Acapulco, Mexico to Hawaii returning to SanDiego.  This was 2007 on the Legend and RCCL didn't have much of a cruise port in Acapulco.  We meet at a large hotel conference center where everyone was checked in and then bused to the ship.  When we got to the ship we were sent to a large aluminum warehouse type of building.  Keep in mind it was mid-summer in sunny Mexico and was hotter than the hinges of hell.  More and more people kept entering the already crowded warehouse.  There were gates at the gangway door which led to the ship.  I was sweating profusely by this time and my wife who had health problems was on the verge of passing out.  The crowd was starting the shout "Let us On" but with no results.  A long came a security guard seeking entrance through the gate so he could go to his station.  The guard on the ship side of the gate unlocked the gate and slid the gate to the side so the guard could enter.  I looked at the group of fellows next to me and said I'm game if you're game it's time to board!  With that the gates were pushed to the side and at least 500 cruise passengers headed on to the ship.  I felt so bad by the time we crashed the gate that the thought of a Mexican jail was actual an improvement over the current situation.  I am now 72 years old and still think back with glee at my last act of civil disobedience!  I'm not sorry I did it and if I had it to do over I would do the same thing.  Upon return my wife wrote the President of RCCL regarding the event and how terrible it was.  Much to my surprise RCCL actually called her to acknowledge things went terrible wrong.  They apologized and gave us a 10% discount toward our next cruise.  Sorry this was so long.

I have a twofer of the same lady. I was sailing freedom out of Miami this past Feb on a 2n cruise. Since I was solo, they allowed me to use the suite/pinnacle line to board. The lady in front me had on some sort of inflatable butt, her daughter kindly pointed out that one "cheek" was bigger than the other. She of course turned bright red and looked around to see if anyone heard her. I pretended to not hear anything but couldn't help but laugh when she walked the other way. Later on the pool deck I saw that same lady in a bikini, I guess the daughter was on "booty" duty because every so often I would hear "its falling out mom!"

I didn’t even realize there was such a thing as an inflatable butt.  …of course, I have no need for such enhancement as I have a natural inflate-ation.  Lol

I didn't either but they make everything now; I looked it up later out of curiosity. It looks like a piece of shapewear, designed to wear under pants. I don't think it was meant for swimwear 🤣

This was probably 15-20 years ago. My sister and brother in law took all 15 members of our family on a cruise (my parents, 5 members of my family, my sister’s family of 5, and my brother’s family of 3). We were all meeting up for dinner and I see my brother with his ponytail and my sister in law with her blond hair with their backs turned toward us. I sneaked up behind my brother and kicked at the back of his knee bring him toward the ground. That is when I noticed it was not my brother, but someone who looked very similar from behind. My brother in law who was with me beelined to the nearest shop and pretended like he was window shopping and didn’t know me at all. I apologized profusely but throughout the rest of the cruise the guy side eyed me every time he saw me.

In 2017, we were on Freedom.  We were lined up in the first night MDR "cattle call" (waiting to get into the MDR).  I hate being in this line ... I have no idea what we were doing.  Sardines have more room in their can.  

A tall gentleman two or three couples in front of us turned around to look at the length of the line and the "crush" of it.  In a loud and booming voice he said:

"These poor people ... they have not eaten in 20 minutes".

That was funny enough for my soulmate and I (I certainly laughed out loud).  Funnier still, 80% of the people did not get the joke.

We have not stood in that line since.

One of the couples on the Newlywed Game, about 20 years ago, had us all in stitches.

"Where is the most interesting place you've had sex?"

"The glass elevator of this ship."

People made sure they never shared an elevator with them the rest of the cruise 🤣

LOL, on the actual TV show the same question and a lady said it was in a particular part of her body, not the usual!
