50 Funny Cruise Memes to Brighten up Your Day

• February 13, 2024
• Cruise Chuckles

Embarking on a cruise is an adventure filled with endless possibilities, from the majestic view of the ocean to the thrill of exploring new destinations. However, it’s the quirky and unexpected moments on board that often turn into the most memorable stories.

In our collection of 50 funny cruise memes, we dive into the lighter side of cruising, capturing those relatable experiences and humorous observations that anyone who’s set sail can appreciate.

What Is a ‘Meme’?

A ‘meme’ is a funny picture or video, usually captioned with text, that people share on the internet. It often has a humorous message and is spread from person to person online.

Memes can be jokes, social commentary, or just something silly to make people laugh. They’re a popular way for people to communicate and share their thoughts or feelings in a light-hearted way.

Cruise Obsession Memes

Cruise obsession memes often poke fun at how much people love going on cruises. Many people can relate to the anticipation of counting down the days until their next cruise adventure.

Cruise Withdrawal Memes

All good things come to an end, and that includes cruises! Feeling the post-cruise blues is common, and cruise withdrawal memes capture this emotion with a smile. They remind us of the joy of cruising and the inevitable longing to return, poking fun at how everything else seems dull in comparison.

During the COVID-19 pandemic, many people were unable to cruise, which intensified their feelings longing and withdrawal. They found themselves reminiscing about past voyages and eagerly awaiting the day they could sail again.

Cruise Food Memes

From the endless buffets to gourmet dining at every turn, cruise food memes humorously capture the sheer abundance and variety of food offered on cruise ships. The memes also highlight how hard it is not to overeat while cruising, something that many people can relate to.

Cruise Drinks Memes

When it comes to cruise vacations, the allure of unlimited drink packages is often the highlight, sparking countless memes about the adventurous spirit (and potential consequences) of free-flowing cocktails at sea.

Cruise Weather Memes

Cruise weather memes humorously reflect the unpredictable nature of sea travel, especially when it comes to navigating through rough seas. These memes often capture the dramatic, sometimes exaggerated experiences of passengers and crew alike as they face the challenges posed by rough waters.

Cruise Struggles Memes

From battling for the last deck chair to navigating the many corridors of the ship on the first day, cruise struggle memes capture the lighter side of these common challenges. They offer a humorous reflection on the quirks and annoyances that come with the cruise experience.

Cruise Preparation Memes

When it comes to preparing for a cruise, the experience can be filled with a mix of excitement and anxiety. Cruise preparation memes capture the funny and relatable moments of getting ready or planning for a cruise.

Cruise Passenger Memes

Nothing says ‘cruise life’ quite like the early morning dash to claim a deck chair with a towel and a book you’ll pretend to read. Cruise passenger memes perfectly capture the behaviors of those on board in a way that we can all relate to, whether we’ve been on a cruise or not.

Cruise Photographer Memes

As anyone who’s set sail on a cruise knows, photographers are the unsung heroes of the high seas, always ready to freeze our best (and sometimes awkward) moments in time. Although the eagerness of cruise photographers to snap that perfect shot can sometimes mean they’re everywhere you turn, and not all photos are winners, sparking funny memes about them.

Cruise Disembarkation Memes

When a cruise ends, the toughest part isn’t packing; it’s having to say goodbye to the sea and the ship you’ve called home. Disembarkation memes capture these sad goodbyes and the struggle of getting up early to leave, in a funny way.

Laugh Out Loud: 41 Hilarious Cruise Ship Memes

And what better way to celebrate this addiction than with some hilarious cruise ship memes? As someone who has spent countless hours aboard various ships, I can attest to the fact that humor is a necessary coping mechanism.

Whether it’s rough seas, crowded pools, or over-enthusiastic cruise directors, there’s always something to laugh about. So, join me as we dive into 41 of the funniest cruise memes out there. And who knows, maybe you’ll find a new favorite to share with your fellow cruise addicts.

• The article contains 41 funny cruise ship memes to make readers smile.
• It is written by Mike Schimdt, Founder of Cruise Tips, and may contain affiliate links.
• The memes cover various topics such as cruise addiction, cruise ship food and weight gain, drinking on a cruise, cruise crew, packing for a cruise, rough seas and weather, cruise passengers and people watching, and disembarkation.
• The article suggests joining Facebook groups for cruise memes and using online meme generators to create one’s own cruise memes.

Types of Cruise Addiction Memes

I can’t help but chuckle at the euphemistic memes about my addiction to cruising, poking fun at my insatiable desire to set sail and explore new horizons. It’s as if these memes know me better than I know myself.

They capture the essence of my cruise withdrawal perfectly, making me yearn for the days when I can once again plan my next cruise itinerary.

These cruise addiction memes are a reminder that I am not alone in my love for cruising. It’s a community of like-minded individuals who understand the joy of stepping on board a ship and leaving all your worries behind.

And while I may never be cured of my addiction, these memes remind me to embrace it and enjoy the ride.

Memes about Food and Weight Gain

The memes about cruise ship food and the inevitable weight gain are both relatable and humorous. Cruise dining humor is a popular topic among cruisers, as we all know that the food on board is one of the main attractions.

From the endless buffets to the specialty restaurants, there is no shortage of delicious options. However, with so much food available, it’s easy to overindulge and experience the effects of overindulging on a cruise – namely, weight gain.

But instead of feeling ashamed, cruise memes embrace the reality of the situation and poke fun at it. Some memes show before and after pictures of someone’s waistline, while others depict people struggling to button their pants after a week of cruising.

It’s all in good fun, and we can all relate to the struggle of trying to resist the temptation of that second dessert. So go ahead and indulge – just be prepared for the consequences. And don’t forget to snap a picture for your next cruise meme!

Memes about Drinking on a Cruise

Indulging in a few too many cocktails on a cruise is a common occurrence, and these memes perfectly capture the joys and struggles of drinking on board. From the excitement of a cruise ship party to the dreaded morning after hangovers, these memes are sure to make you laugh.

To fully appreciate the humor in these memes, take a look at this table below. It features some of the best cruise ship party memes and memes about hangovers on a cruise. Cheers to a good laugh and a great cruise!

Different Types of Cruise Crew Memes

Being part of the cruise crew, I can relate to the different types of memes that highlight the unique experiences and challenges of working on board a ship.

One type of meme that always gets a laugh from me is the passenger memes. These are the memes that depict the different types of passengers that we encounter on a daily basis. There’s the ‘chair hog’ who claims a prime spot by the pool and keeps it occupied all day, the ‘complainer’ who always finds something to complain about, and the ‘foodie’ who never seems to stop eating.

Another type of meme that I find hilarious are the funny disembarkation memes. These memes capture the chaos that ensues as passengers scramble to get off the ship at the end of their cruise. From the long lines to the lost luggage, these memes highlight the challenges that both passengers and crew face during disembarkation.

As a crew member, I can attest to the fact that disembarkation day is always a wild ride, and these memes perfectly capture the madness.

What are some common signs of cruise addiction that are depicted in the memes?

Cruise addiction warning signs? Feeling anxious when not on a ship, constantly checking for cruise deals, and obsessing over past trips. Coping mechanisms include joining cruise meme groups and planning future trips. Memes reflect and distort reality, but provide humor for our cruise addiction.

Are there any memes that address the health-conscious options available on cruise ships to avoid weight gain?

Avoiding weight gain on a cruise is a challenge, but there are healthy options available. I opt for the salad bar instead of the all-you-can-eat buffet and take advantage of the activities and socializing on board for some cruise ship entertainment.

Do the memes about drinking on a cruise depict excessive drinking or responsible drinking?

When it comes to drinking on a cruise, memes can be a reflection of reality. Some depict excessive drinking while others show responsible drinking. It’s important to consider the impact of cruise memes on public perception of the drinking culture. But let’s be honest, humor is always appreciated.

What specific roles or departments of the cruise crew are often depicted in the memes?

The most common cruise crew roles depicted in memes are the captain, cruise director, and bartenders. Stereotypes and exaggerations in cruise ship memes are prevalent, but as a former crew member, I find them amusing.

Are there any memes that address the diversity of the cruise crew in terms of nationality and background?

It’s a shame that cruise crew representation and cultural diversity aren’t more commonly addressed in cruise ship memes. Maybe it’s time for some new material that reflects the reality of the industry.
