Ever see anything totally shocking and unexpected on a cruise?

If you have a giant back tattoo that is misspelled

Please please tell us more. (I judge the artist more, especially when the tattoo is in a spot the person can't see or control during the process)

Yes! Especially an artist who doesn't clarify the spelling if the person brings it in misspelled.

It's the upper midwest, so what I've seen varies.

"Their Always In Our Hearts!" on a giant memorial tattoo. (Pro tip, almost every attempt to do faces from photos in tattoos makes them look weird.)
"Blesed By Jesus"

"Beleive" has been seen and "Freind." I BEFORE E PEOPLE!!!

NO RAGRETS!

I am always convinced that about half the Japanese characters used in tattoos are probably used wrong and likely mean things like "the scent of a three day old infant diaper stuck in the bottom of the trash can" or similar.

NO RAGRETS!

Or the other favorite "NO REGERTS!"

NO RAGRETS!

Oh, the inescapable, lifelong, indelibly marked irony...

Definitely saw multiple waterspouts coming our of the same cloud in the Caribbean on one of our cruises. Pretty neat!

We saw half a dozen of them off the coast of Cuba last November. It was pretty cool.

NO RAGRETS!

"no ragrets really?, not even like one letter?" lol I love We're the Millers and Jason Sudekis

 

[FigmentSpark]

NO RAGRETS!

Could be worse.... No Egrets!

I like egrets! They are pretty.

While sitting at a cafe in Bermuda on a perfectly sunny day last year we saw a water spout erupt in the boat dock in front of us and dance all around -- it lasted more than 2 minutes and caused quite a bit of ruckus around us from people running to get pictures -- and some running the other way LOL.

I was amazed at how many people were completely oblivious to the ones we saw.

We thought they were quite beautiful actually -- but, of course, no damage was done. It was so stunning that my poor husband didn't get his camera out in time to catch one (we had one giant one and then two smaller ones a couple of minutes later moving along the water).

I would be so bummed if I saw a water spout and missed getting a picture of it.

Mine is not funny...

Not something we saw but experienced during our cruise last week: having to participate to research to find a man who jumped off another ship. Having decks closed so crew members could watch in case they spotted him. Helicopter flying over the area trying to spot the body.

It was heartbreaking.

 

[GoofyLovingFamily]

That was sad to hear about. It was even sadder to hear about the number of people mad about missing port to look for the missing man.

Now that is tragically selfish. Did they ever find the man?

 

[GoofyLovingFamily]

I don't think they did.

 

[RedSox68]

I don't think they did.

Very very sad. What cruise ship was it that he jumped from?
