Over the past week, our friends over at Cruise Fever have been compiling a number of articles displaying cruise passengers and their terrible ideas. Now, with their permission, we here at Cruise Currents would also like to share these photos and help explain why these ideas are truly terrible.
Perching On The Balcony
Last week, a guest sailing aboard Carnival’s Carnival Breeze spotted an interesting guest aboard Norwegian’s Norwegian Getaway during sail away from St. Maarten. Upon further inspection, the Carnival Breeze passenger realized the guest in question was sitting over his balcony railing, just one deck above a partially exposed promenade. Now, while sitting on a balcony railing is simply a bad idea in any case, at least this passenger figured the metal overhang might catch him. In all reality though, all it would take is a sudden movement from the ship to send him onto the overhang and rolling down to the promenade below, not only injuring himself, but other passengers as well. Verdict: Terrible idea.
Getting The Right Shot
Earlier this week, another passenger, this time aboard Carnival’s Carnival Legend was spotted performing an even more dangerous stunt. Captured by a passenger a few decks above, an unidentified passenger was spotted climbing over the railing of her partially obstructed balcony railing and onto the roof of one of the ship’s lifeboats. Why? It would seem she was attempting to take a photo of something that was partially blocked from view on her balcony. Instead of acting like a rational passenger and walking to an open deck, she decided to put her life at risk and climb onto the top of a lifeboat. To begin, this is mostly a danger to the ship and her guests, as she could have easily damaged the lifeboat, potentially leading to an inoperable lifeboat in an emergency. Not only could she have fallen overboard, but she could have directly caused the death of her fellow guests by purposely meddling with emergency equipment. Verdict: The worst idea by any cruise passenger we’ve seen yet. If we had actual power, we’d “kindly” ask her to refrain from cruising in the future.

Her dress sense is sh*t …. let her go overboard ,,,, lol!
Hey both on Carnival ships….. no surprises there then
You can’t read, the first was spotted from a Carnival ship!
Actually the first offense was aboard Norwegian but was spotted by a Carnival passenger so no, both were not Carnival ships.
One of the great joys of cruising: observing people — and the depths of idiocy to which some folks will go….and, even better….meeting awesome folks from all over the world!
I agree Nick! I should point out that these two represent a small minority of cruisers and don’t represent the majority of us. I always enjoy meeting fellow cruisers, I always seem to stumble upon some very interesting fellow guests!
