“Fight Against Stupidity And Bureaucracy”
.
It has been a bit if a theme now for a while on Tuesdays to present some silly questions asked by the general public. Today we have a selection of questions that cruisers on cruises have asked of cruise crews.
Apparently you can have enough money for a cruise and still be dumb!
It really is a good job that they don’t make people walk the plank any more.
Enjoy!

“Do you make your own electricity on board?”
.
.
“Why can’t I get cable stations?”
.
.
“Are you the Captain?” (Asked of crew who are clearly not the Captain)
.
.
“Do you actually live on this ship?”
.
.
“Do these stairs go up or down?”
.
.
“Does the crew sleep on board?”
.
.
“Could you call the captain to stop the waves? I am getting seasick.”
.
.
“I just saw the Captain in the dining room. Who is steering the ship?”
.
.
“Is the water in the toilets salty or fresh?”
.
.
“What time does the midnight buffet start?”
.
.
“What do you do with the ice sculptures after they melt?”
.
.
“Can you get these chips on land?” (Referring to casino chips)
.
.
“Why is it so windy outside?” (On a cruise liner traveling 30 miles per hour at the time)
.
.
“I see them!” (The inevitable response from a member of the crowd whenever a casino dealer on a cruise liner played a favorite joke — pointing out “penguins” on a “little piece of ice” during a cruise through Bermuda)
.
.
“So what is the elevation here?” (On an Alaskan cruise)
.
.
“Why can’t I find a USPC post box in town?” (In Ocho Rios, Jamaica)
.
.
“I want to change cabins! I paid good money for this cruise, and all I can see is a rusted crane in the harbor!” (Asked before leaving port)

Thank you! 🙂
Maybe this is why I have never taken a cruise!
It’s as good an excuse as any I guess 🙂
Having taken only one cruise in my life, it was the stupid people (my fellow cruisers) that ran me screaming “never again” to shore at the end.
LOL What a pity they spoiled it for you.
I love cruising. I would love to go on a cruise all the way to Australia if they could go there. Unfortunately there is no place to fuel. We asked a crew member while we were on our cruise. Maybe that question should be added to your list?
Never been on them but I know there are cruise ships that go to Australia from San Francisco, probably via Hawaii.
