I just have it away y' all were out in the open water doing ANYTHING .
Every summer, my social media starts to become a promotional center for cruises. From the drink packages to all of the delicious food and the amazing shows, I’m always so enamored by how much fun there is to be had on a gigantic boat floating on the high seas.
So, as summer comes to a close, I thought I could live vicariously through all of the cruise vacationers. IaskedtheBuzzFeed Communityto tell me the wildest experience they’ve seen or had on a cruise, and they did not disappoint:
1.“I went on a bachelorette cruise over a decade ago with about 15 girls. Best. Trip. Ever. While there, I met the singer that would perform in the Latin club on the ship; he just so happened to look like an off-brand version of my favorite bachata artist. He was very hot. He caught my eye the first day, I caught his eye the second, and by the third, we were sneaking around and hooking up around the boat.”
2.“I was on a cruise in the late 90s. We ran into a hurricane, and our stabilizers stopped working. The ship rocked so crazily you couldn’t walk down the hallways, and glasses went flying off tables. I was a kid, and while everyone got seasick, my friend and I spent time running around the decks exploring.”
" There was a circumstances of water ( and other clobber ) leaking everywhere , and half the ship got off at one of the ports . My Quaker ’s class was given additional room as a fringe benefit ( my parent ca n’t remember why ) , and we hung out in them and watchedTitanicover and over — for some reason , it was dally on the cruise ship TV ! "

3.“About 6 years ago, we did a cruise in the Northeast. First, it was a 70+ Vietnam veterans reunion, and it was published as a kid- and teen-friendly cruise. Someone died, and we had to stop earlier than expected.
4.“I went on a cruise with my boss and her family. It was a really good time, except when one night, her teen son failed to return to the room. She woke me up at 1:30 a.m., asking if her son had come back to the room, and I said, ‘What?!’ We immediately got dressed and called customer service, evoking a very large search party on this cruise.”
" We could not find him anywhere , and we started growing very implicated that something horrible had hap to him . We encircle back to another heart-to-heart deck , where we find him and a grouping of teens sleep under the stars ! They fix up a whole camping situation on the pool deck of cards . He was nestled between two girl , and my boss finish that very quickly . It is safe to say he quell inside the room for the rest of the sail . "

5.“I don’t know if it counts, but I got COVID in the middle of my Caribbean cruise and was confined to my cabin, but at least I got free alcohol, right?”
6.“I had to go to see the doctor on a cruise. The doctor was very busy and preoccupied, and he told me they had had a death on board. He told me faaaaar too much about it: an elderly gentleman had had a heart attack and died while both on andina senior lady post-viagra.”
" I cry , ' Oh , his poor wife . ' She laughed and answer , ' Yes , I had to call her and tell her the whole thing . ' It was rearing aged swinging from one cabin to another . One lady get off in Madeira for the 24-hour interval to ride a hired bicycle and ended up having sexual activity with an ex - flame in some Bush who was on another cruise ship . She say me all about it over dinner party ! Man , the goldies were seeing some action mechanism ! "

7.I went on a cruise with my mom and some extended family. The first morning, we all went to go get breakfast, which was buffet style. After getting my food, I sat down at a table, about to enjoy my breakfast, when a man came and sat directly in my line of vision with a whole ass plate of bacon.”
8.“Went on a cruise at 16. I met a guy on the cruise who was on his senior trip with his private high school. I stayed up on the deck with him talking late into the night/early morning before he walked me back to my cabin that I was sharing with my older brother and sister. This was in the early 2000s, prior to everyone having a phone, and when you’d exchange AIM names.”
" My baby fire up me up hours by and by because the boy came back to my elbow room and ask me to come with him to tell his master that we did n’t do anything but public lecture . Apparently they had a curfew he missed , and his punishment was missing promenade and having to clean the schoolhouse bus for a calendar month . We speak for like a year on AIM but never saw each other again . "
9.“Not me, but my dad tells a horrendous story about his senior year cruise. It was loads of students from several local high schools on a cruise ship in the late 1980s. There was lots of alcohol involved and really nasty weather. The boat was rocking terribly and did not let up for days, and he said so many people got violently sea sick.”
10.“I went on a 7-night Caribbean cruise with my parents to celebrate their 50th anniversary. On the fourth day, my mom had a bad stomachache and insisted that my dad and I should go touring, and she would stay in the room. We had a fun few hours in St. Maarten, and when we came back to check in on her, she was still in extreme pain.”
" I last convinced her to permit me take her to the hospital . $ 140 later , they state that it might be appendicitis and that we had to get off the ship immediately because we ’d be at ocean for the next 2 days and they could n’t care for her . I had 20 minutes to tell my papa and pack up two cabin ! My pappa and I were see off the ship , and my mom was brought to an ambulance . multitude were standing on their balconies pack movie as my mom was stretch into the ambulance . I had to leave behind my 74 - year - old dad on the pier with all of our baggage while I rode with my mamma to the infirmary . hour later , they influence it was not appendicitis , but she would postulate operating room . The adept newsworthiness was that they stabilized her so that we could aviate home first . My dada and I spend the dark in a hotel , my mom in the hospital , and then the three of us catch the one direct flight of the twenty-four hour period home from St. Maarten ! "
11.“The same guest took a dump in the pool three days in a row. The pool had to be emptied and disinfected each time. On the third occasion, they caught him, and he proceeded to scoop the poop into a glass and hand it to a member of staff, saying, ‘The pool didn’t need to be emptied.’ He was kicked off the ship.”
12.“Myself, my husband, and our three kids went on our first cruise in May 2023. I did extensive research and made a list of things we needed (and some things we absolutely didn’t need, but you never know). I bought a file folder for our birth certificates and boarding passes, and I even brought our social security cards just in case.”
" We live in Wisconsin and drive 18 hours to Jacksonville , Fl . , so I need to be prepare . Well , we make it down to Florida , and when we get to the check-out procedure - in counter , I hand the ma’am my driver ’s license and nativity security , and she wait at me funny . It turns out I grabbed my sister ’s birth certificate instead of mine . I bawled my eye out , thinking we just spent thousands of dollars and drove 18 hour just to not be able-bodied to board the ship . fortunately , they were capable to utilise my driver ’s licence and my shaver ’s birth certificate to verify my identity and place of nascency . I just pictured the foresighted , disappointing drive family , but give thanks goodness they let us on . "

13.“There was an outdoor buffet on the outdoor deck of our ship, and every morning staff cooked fresh-made omelettes to order. One morning, a passenger started shouting because a member of staff had put onions in when he had said he didn’t want onions. He then picked up the omelet and threw it at the staff member. I can’t even tell you how fast a manager appeared, and the guy was dragged off.”
14.“I went on a cruise that had a thalassotherapy pool, which is like a large saltwater hot tub with jets. My friend went to use it, and right before she was about to get in, something went wrong. Somehow, the water became electrified! She said that people were flopping around like fish out of water. I was told they all ended up okay, but I’m really glad I didn’t see it, and I’m extremely glad my friend didn’t get in!”

And finally, this person shared their hilariously wild cruise experience that resulted in them refusing to vacation with their mother any longer:
15.“I was 26 and went on a cruise with my mother. She drank too much, and I put her to bed (on a nest of towels on the bathroom floor), then went out by myself. I met some friends while drinking and dancing, then stopped at a pub on the way back to my room for a beer and fries.”
