100+ Cruise Puns That Will Make You Jump Ship

Welcome to the internet’s dampest collection of humor. If you are here, you are probably stuck in a floating hotel room the size of a closet, desperately looking for a caption to prove you are having “the time of your life” on Instagram. Or maybe you are just avoiding the terrifying reality of the all-you-can-eat shrimp buffet.

Look, we get it. You need content. We have jokes. It is a transaction as old as the sea itself. While you are floating around aimlessly, you might also want to check out our Ocean Puns or pretend you are somewhere else with our Hawaii Puns. But for now, put on your life vest. We are about to sink to new lows.

The Abandon Ship Section (Conclusion)

Regret Rating: 9/10 Life Vests

We have reached the end. The shore is in sight. You have consumed enough puns to sink a battleship, and for that, we are truly sorry. If you are still craving this level of punishment, you can fly away with our Airplane Jokes or just go sit in a dark room. Please disembark carefully.

The Frequently Annoying Questions

What is the funniest boat pun?

“Ship happens.” It is classic, versatile, and reflects the reality of plumbing on a cruise ship.

How do I caption a cruise photo?

Use “Seas the day.” It is unoriginal, overused, and perfect for your algorithm.

What do you call a boat that likes to party?

A row-mantic vessel? No, that’s bad. A party barge. Just call it a party barge.

Why are cruise jokes so bad?

Because they are dry. Unlike you, who is currently soaking wet near the pool.
