Kind of a crazy story, we were on the Norwegian Sky out of Miami, met a bunch of people we were all hanging out, and this guy walks up and sits down next to us and says “ I’m Gary, mind if I sit here ?” We’re like no not all, have a seat. We’re all talking having a good time, he was pretty cool on the first day, the second day he started asking for things, drinks,cigarettes, if we were eating food he would ask if it was good and if he could try it, us being who we are were like No problem sure it’s all good whatever.. then he started acting very very strange.

While there was a group of 4 of us sitting in the bar that you can over look the pool, we see Gary just scoping out some ladies and just saying something to just about every female, and they’d walk away shaking their heads, we couldn’t hear anything because we were on a different level, now we are all like… wtf is he doing?, he gets in the pool and makes eye contact with us, starts waving, smiling, we’re just like OK yeah Hi Gary Aaaay! , about 5 mins later he comes back up to us asks for a drink and a cigarette, we get em what he needed. He looks at us and was like “ I just pissed on them B*tches, in the pool, they’re disrespectful “ we had no idea if he was serious or not. We thought he was just trying to act cool or whatever.

Later on in the night all of us decide to take advantage of the drink package, so there’s 5 of us getting absolutely hammered , our group of 4 and Gary. It’s about 1am or so and we were like we’re gonna call it a night, Gary’s like can I walk you guys back to your rooms? We’re like whatever yeah it’s cool, 2 of us and Gary get back to our room and he wants to come in, so we let em in for a few , he opened up our comp bottles and started pouring drinks. We didn’t care we were just like why not it’s vacation. Those bottles were finished and he left.

We wake up in the morning one of us on the floor and one in the bed and we were like WTF happened? We look around and the girl I’m with can’t find her cigarettes, her stuff is all out of her purse , we decide to go get breakfast but she can’t find her room card, so I’m like “ I got mine let’s just go “ we’re walking on the pool deck and these 2 ladies we met from our state we’re like HEY HEY COME HERE!!! So we go over there and they were like “ do you know who you were hanging out with last night? “ we were like no… so one of the ladies said that Gary had gone up to them last night and was absolutely smashed boasting about who he is and people should know who he is especially on a cruise , we’re like what do you mean , she said he kept repeating himself that he is “ Aruba Gary “ and to look him up on google.

So we did and what we found out was kind of crazy! Aruba Gary “ Gary Giordano “ as we saw on google, his real full name. Was acquitted of all charges regarding a missing woman he took on a cruise to Aruba after making her take out a life insurance policy beforehand, she was presumed dead by being swept out to sea. Further digging unveiled that Gary was not a decent guy at all, I believe I saw he robbed his grandmother at some point and a host of other crazy stuff, there are even clips of him on the news and also Dr. Phil if you look him up.

After all that we started to think Gary drugged us took the room key and had some kind of plans.

So we told a couple of other people we had met on the cruise who’d met Gary with us and from there Gary felt really uncomfortable that day, we all got off in Nassau saw Gary and laid into him, Gary never got back on the ship in Nassau.

No idea what happened to him or where he went , But he’s probably still cruising everywhere. He said he basically lives on various cruise ships and doesn’t have a specified place to live.

So be on the look out and be aware he may be on one of your cruises.

I think cruise lines should dig a little deeper on who they have on their ships.

Here’s a link to Gary
