After spending 30 years in the cruise biz and taking almost 200 cruises, I have been privy to virtually every strange question that has been asked by a passenger. Some of these I have heard myself and some passed along by my cruise director friends. I have picked my favorite ones. Remember, these questions were asked by real passengers who were already on the ship. Also immediately following is the smart a** answer that the crew would like to give (but don’t, they just smile and nod). Enjoy.
Q. Does the crew sleep on board?
A. Of course not, late at night a water taxi picks them up and takes them home!
Q. Do these stairs go up OR down?
A. Yes!
Q. Does the ship make it’s own electricity?
A. No, don’t you see the long extension cord trailing behind the ship?
Q. Which is the sunny side of the ship?
A. The captain spins the ship around daily so everyone gets an even tan
Q. Which elevator takes me to the front of the ship?
A. Ask the elevator operator when you get on, he will take you anywhere you want to go.
Q. What do you do with the ice carvings after they melt?
A. We re-freeze the water and use it for frozen drinks.
Q. What time is the midnight buffet?
A. Usually around 11 PM or so. We tried doing it right after breakfast but most people weren’t real hungry.
Q. How do we know which pictures are ours?
A. The people who look totally clueless . . . . those are probably yours.
Q. Is this island totally surrounded by water?
A. No, part of it is surrounded by sand, but it’s all clearly marked.
