DAVE(Darkcabbie) Posted August 20, 2013 Report Share Posted August 20, 2013 Unfortunately I haven't bumped into anyone famous on the cruises I have done. How about you guys & gals out there any claims to fame. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hallyluhopper Posted August 20, 2013 Report Share Posted August 20, 2013 I can honestly say I have seen celebrities on a previous cruise. It was a chartered cruise on the Holland America. We got to see Jimmy Dean,and he sang his famous song "Big Ben." He looks the same as he did on his commercials except he was old.interestingly enough his wife wasn't old, she was quite young.

Tylor Posted August 21, 2013 Report Share Posted August 21, 2013 I have never seen anyone famous on a cruise except for Micky Dolenz from the Monkeys. He was the entertainment on the Liberty cruise I took back in 2008. I sat next to him on the tender to Labadee. Very nice, down to earth guy. hallyluhopper and DAVE(Darkcabbie) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fuzzywuzzy Posted January 28, 2019 Report Share Posted January 28, 2019 Don't know if they are considered "celebrity" but on our Alaska cruise (Disney Wonder, July 2015) Brandi and Jared from Storage Wars were on board with their kids and what appeared to be her mother. Seagulls attacked their french fries on deck prior to sail time in Vancouver. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnK6404 Posted January 28, 2019 Report Share Posted January 28, 2019 When my wife and I were on Majesty back in June 2010 (our first RC cruise), Michael McDonald was on board for a concert. It was a corporate recognition event (Fortune 100 company) and my employer chartered the ship for a short cruise (4-nights) out of Miami and booked Michael McDonald. We stopped at Key West, Nassau and CocoCay (not too memorable back then!). We got to sit right up front about 10-15 feet from him... he was drenched in sweat from the hot lights, but he was awesome!

mworkman Posted January 28, 2019 Report Share Posted January 28, 2019 I've been on the lookout for the elusive celebrity "Da Twangster" but don't know what he looks like, so I guess I wouldn't know if he was even standing next to me. I've looked in every post office to see if his picture is in there, but no such luck coneyraven, FlowBro Ty, Lovetocruise2002 and 4 others 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RCVoyager Posted January 28, 2019 Report Share Posted January 28, 2019 I have cruised with the Barenaked Ladies twice. Both were chartered cruises through a company called Sixth Man. While these two cruises, when only considering the ship and itinerary weren't the best of the cruises I've been on, when combined with the entertainment, they remain the best cruises I've experienced. On both trips, the band set the tone at the outset. They were there with their families, and so if seen with family, they wanted privacy. Other than that, they wanted to meet the passengers and talk to them. They had many more events than were promised in the schedule, and they signed and talked to passengers constantly. It really was an up close experience. On top of that there was the now famous "Barenaked at Sea" photo and we met the band Gaelic Storm which is without a doubt, the most entertaining and fan friendly band there is right now. So, no it's not really a random famous person sighting, but it was an up close experience for sure. FlowBro Ty 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeK Posted January 28, 2019 Report Share Posted January 28, 2019 On my Oasis June 2017 cruise Sinbad (the comedian) was a passenger. I talked to him a few minutes on the elevator and seemed to be a nice guy. There was supposed to be a couple of NBA players on board the same cruise but I dont follow pro basketball. Would it be politically incorrect to assume it was the two real tall guys I saw? FlowBro Ty 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monctonguy Posted January 28, 2019 Report Share Posted January 28, 2019 I don't think I have ever seen anyone famous in all my travels. Or let me say I haven't recognized anyone..I have probably walked past and seen many. Just don't recognize them in that setting.

WAAAYTOOO Posted January 28, 2019 Report Share Posted January 28, 2019 We were on the Harmony when that movie was made starring Kelsey Grammar. I never saw any of them even though we were in Star Class and probably encountered them somewhere along the way. I can't even remember the name of the lady in that movie and I wouldn't have known her if I had stumbled over her so that may have had something to do with it !

Matt Posted January 28, 2019 Report Share Posted January 28, 2019 I saw Kelsey Grammar and Kristen Bell on Harmony of the Seas while they were filming a movie. In fact, our Labadee Cabana was right next to Kelsey Grammar's cabana. spiralqueen, monctonguy, WAAAYTOOO and 1 other 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

twangster Posted January 28, 2019 Report Share Posted January 28, 2019 I saw @Matt Hochberg on a cruise! It was a group cruise, and I sort of knew he would be on it, but still, he is the quintessential cruise celebrity if there is one!

Jolly Ogre Posted January 28, 2019 Report Share Posted January 28, 2019 I had dinner and drinks with Betty White and Robert Goulet. However, it was 1978 and cruises were a bit different back then. A bit more of the back story, Betty was a passenger, while Robert was the main entertainment and we were at the Captain's Table for dinner.

WannaCruise Posted January 28, 2019 Report Share Posted January 28, 2019 Lance Bass was on my Allure cruise 2016. I knew he was on as there were some closed events, but funny enough I kept seeing him around (e.g.on our Blue Lagoon excursion , by the pool). The last night he and his group also had an open event where they hosted a show (and I think sang one song at the end but I didn't stay).
