The Famous "Top 10 Cruise Questions"

In honor of my upcoming cruise, I present the Top 10 Stupid Cruise Questions. These are rattled off by the cruise director at some point on every cruise. Still, they are funny.

1. Does the crew sleep on board?
No, the water taxi picks them up and drops them off each day. Hee.
I actually visited the crew's quarters on an NCL ship when I was 16, with a bartender I had befriended on the trip. (Not at all as racy as it sounds, I promise you.) Crew quarters are below the guest cabins. They have their own gym, dining room, club, etc. there.
2. What time is the midnight buffet?
Interestingly enough, more and more the traditional "midnight buffet" is at 11:30pm.
3. Which elevator takes me to the front of the ship?
If you're on ships as large as the one we'll be on, you'll wish there was an elevator to the front of the ship.
4. Do you generate your own electricity?
This is my favorite. The answer is, "No, we have a really long extension cord plugged in at the terminal and trailing behind the ship."
5. Is this island totally surrounded by water?
Ahaha.
6. Is the water in the toilet salt or fresh?
Do you care? (...It is fresh, due to the corrosive effects of salt water.)
7. Can I water ski off the back of the ship?
Most cruise ships do not go fast enough to water ski behind. Plus, it's a bit of a safety issue.
8. What do you do with the ice carvings after they melt?
Refreeze the water in the margarita machines.
9. Do these stairs go up or down?
Yes.
10. The ship’s photographer snapped our picture. How do we know which pictures are ours?
lol. It's funny how quickly you can spot your friends and family in a photo amidst hundreds of others in the gallery.
