Cheers
I'm not surprised that Kelly Brook got the highest male vote. She could cruise with me anytime, although I doubt that Mrs M would be very pleased?
Kelly Brook

I see what you mean Malcolm. Very nice. She looks a bit like my wife...when my wife was her age.
I wonder who are the most popular/unpopular cruise companions in other countries?

Even if we didn't know, it would be plain to see that you don't live in the UK.

Since she was THE spokesperson for Carnival for so many years, I thought most people into cruises would know who she is.

Now my al time favorit to cruise with are Robbie Williams, Chris Segers (Dutch actor/tv presentor) But as with Malcoms mrs M, mr. R would not be verry Happy, with the last two.
Greetings Ben.

Yes, he would be mobbed if he tried that in the UK.
quote:Originally posted by lasuvidaboy:Ben you mentioned Robbie Williams. He is of course very famous in Europe but few people in the States know who he is. I have seen him many times in L.A. having coffee and reading a paper at a local shopping complex on Sunset Blvd. People just walk past him and have no clue how famous he is in other parts of the World. I guess he can come here to escape the UK fans and press.
I would add and me
I JUST WANNA ROCK DJ..............Greetings Ben.

Why do we yearn to meet better and more famous people when there are plenty of great people already in our lives.
I can honestly say in all my seven cruises I have met better and more interesting passengers than any celebrity.

But wait, we have our own celebrities here on Cruise Talk, Malcolm...etc., etc.
quote:Originally posted by Sutho:I dont think any celebrity would be good company on a cruise. They would be all boring and possiby stuck up snobbish people with their heads in the clouds living off public admiration.
Very true. The few celebrities I have met (mostly film actors) are not very interesting and in some instances downright odd. These people are acting like others for a living and in some cases it shows. Look at poor Tom Cruise. When the 'real' Tom appears in public, most people are shocked at his bizarre personality. It is best for these types to stay out of site for the sake of their careers!
