These are true stories from someone who works on a cruise ship.
1. (For this one, you have to know that it's really easy to get lost in the
maze of corridors and elevators on a ship.) A lady asked if this elevator
went to the front of the ship.
2. Two elderly women were staring at the numbers of the floors listed above
the elevator door. When asked if they needed any assistance with something,
one asked how they were going to be able to reach way up there to push the
button for their floor.
3. A newlywed couple, after bringing their luggage into their cabin,
stormed down to the desk. The bride was in tears, and the groom was red
faced. When asked what the problem was, the groom started swearing at the
desk clerk. "We booked a cabin with a view for our honeymoon, and all we
get to see out the window is a parking lot!"
4. There was some mix-up with a woman's room. The clerk (or whatever they
are called on ships) was trying to remedy the situation. He asked, "Would
you like an inside cabin or an outside cabin?" She replied, "Well, it
looks like it might rain today. I'd better get an inside cabin."
5. Two women were sitting by the pool, and one asked what kind of water
they fill the pool with -- fresh water or sea water? The cruise director
answered, "Sea water." "Oh, that explains why it's so rough today."
6. Someone -- always a man -- always asks, "does the ship run on
generators?" The Cruise Director usually tells them, "No, we just have a
very long power line running to the mainland."
7. "What do you do with the ice sculptures after they melt?"
