Pranks
 
I'm cruising soon with a bunch of lady friends. I want to find some devilish and funny things to do to liven up the experience. Got any hints? Anything that you've done or has been done to you -- funny, memorable? Door decor? Parties?

Tell your waiter its some one's birthday. Then they'll get a cake and have happy birhtday sung to them. Pick a lady who won't say'its not my birthday'!
Buy her a drink and have the waiter tell her a gentleman bought it for her but he doesn't see him now. You can say you saw him and describe a handsome hunk!
Find out if the ship has dance hosts - to dance with single ladies. Maybe you can arrange to have him dance with ther.
You'll have fun no matter what! Let us know what you decide to do!

We have done rubber snakes and fake hands sticking out of various places in the cabin.

Probably the most fun was on an Alaska trip we took one of those huge blow up killer whales. The thing stood over 6 feet when stood on its tail.

We took it to the pool and on formal night took it for photographs, after all she was dressed in black and white.

We had several people borrow her to have photographs taken.

Those fake "billy bob" teeth were a hit with the crew.

On a trip we did with 12 we each had sweatshirts printed up with different sayings, "I'm Gabe's Neighbor", "I'm Gabe's Wife", I'm Gabe's Brother", etc. After we all wore those for a day, the next day Gabe put his on that said, "Hi, I am Gabe."

Take a needle and thread..make the thread obvious, say white if you're wearing a dark dress,,leave about an inch and a half hanging outside your arm seam, leave about a foot inside your dress with a big knot on it. At least one friend will try to pull it for you. Take a flashing light from your life jacket and slip it into your tablemates water glass when she's not looking.Tape down the little white things that spring up when you lift the receiver. (another alternative would be to open up the phone and remove two little spring things so that the white things don't come up at all.) Of course all this should be done in the victims absence. When she arrives at her cabin, dial her number from a nearby phone and don't hang up.

Jump overboard.

Cruise lines hate the bad PR resulting from attempted suicides, and will refund your fare if you promise to keep your mouth shut.

Perhaps it's just me, but tampering with the life preservers doesn't seem particularly funny.

There is always the Saran-wrap on the toilet.

goaway, that prank was pulled on me and it was hysterical. It is attached by velcro, so once dinner's over you just stick it back on. It doesn't damage the vest, honestly.
