Prankster Cruise Passengers Dupe Everyone Onboard by Pretending to Miss the Boat Launch, Jolly Banter Ensues

If you've never been on a cruise, you've felt a certain kinship onboard when you're out at sea. Naturally, you're all crammed in this enormous floating hotel, but more importantly, everyone who's a passenger on the ship shares a mutual experience of adventure, luxury, and good vibes on the boat. You can make friends with a stranger at the buffet line, you can banter with the bartenders who live on the ship, and you can become the entire cruiseliner's concern in mere minutes with an act of dramatics on the docks. Wait what? 

Recently a pair of travelers embarked on a multistop Carnival cruise in the Caribbean. Alongside thousands of fellow cruise passengers, they were dropped off on shore to explore a local island with only one condition: You must return to the boat before launch or you get left behind. Cue the dramatic music. 

With a stiff departure time in place and a few nervous folks on board, these two passengers decided to play a funny prank that left everyone on the ship speechless. Scroll for the viral video that made these two fellows into local celebrities on the cruise, simply because they decided to be extra that day.
