WHAT Were They ThinKKKing? Australian Cruise Staff Picks the WORST Outfits for Christmas Event – Twitchy
We’ve heard a lot of chatter on Twitter over the past couple of days about “Nazis” and “Nazi salutes.” Most of this came from leftists in America Who are either too stupid to realize how ridiculous they sound Talk about an innocent rallying gesture from Elon Musk or They deliberately try to perform the usual gaslighting.
This is one of those times when maybe we should embrace the power of “and.”
But what if the real threat of Aryan white supremacy and master races wasn’t coming all along from an innocent like Musk (or from grandmothers walking around the US Capitol), but from… Australian cruise lines?
Wait what?
Yes this may be true. this morning, The New York Post ran a story About a Christmas event held by P&O Cruises Australia where the ship’s crew had…well, let’s just say an “unfortunate” costume idea.
The idea of a costume is paired with the historical awareness of your average wombat.

If you’re slapping your face with your palms right now, you’re not alone. Talk about your “bouncing moves” all the time at fashion shows. The staff all look like former Virginia Governor Ralph Northam in his college yearbook.
P&O Cruises Australia has issued an apology after footage emerged online of a group of eight staff walking across the ship’s pool deck wearing white scrub uniforms and pointy hats.
Is this relevant for 2024? A passenger commented on the clip after it was uploaded to Facebook.
The cruise company says housekeeping staff had no idea what they would look like when they chose to dress up as “upside-down snow cones” for the event during a Pacific Explorer cruise from Melbourne to Hobart in December.
Wait…did they just say they were dressed as snow cones? Snow cones upside down? And this was supposed to be related to Christmas?
Huh?
Who knew P&O Cruises Australia was owned and operated by Southern Democrats?
The reaction from Twitter this morning was exactly what you’d expect, but Twitchy favorite Jarvis posted a funny thread about the fateful incident.
Jesus Christ hahahahaha https://t.co/Nx1q5QCY27 pic.twitter.com/FXqwkSIOkg

Jesus was asked to comment and he said: Noah. There’s no way I’m going to get dragged into this mess. You’re on your own, Australians.
Please, Elon, don’t dress up as an upside-down snow cone anytime soon. This will be misinterpreted by Woke Media.
– Jarvis (@jarvis_best) January 22, 2025
Very funny. Imagine the look on AOC’s face if Musk wore that to Trump’s victory rally. Maybe her head exploded.
And we’re still shaking our heads because they thought these costumes looked like snow cones and not like Joe Biden’s best friend, the late Robert Byrd.
“Other than that, how was the trip?”
– Jarvis (@jarvis_best) January 22, 2025
Ha.
Jarvis also captured screenshots of one passenger’s dazed and horrified face as she watched this display of “snow cones.”

OK. She apparently accidentally wandered into the 1924 Democratic National Convention.
And then, a funny parting shot from Jarvis:
Oh they were the housekeepers. So they were
Cruise Cleaning Crow?

Cue the edge of the drummer.
Others on Twitter enjoyed the…ahem…wardrobe malfunction as well.

OOF.
And now we can’t stop laughing again.

Do you think?
I feel bad for them, because you know they’re almost all from Southeast Asia, and it’s very possible that they have no knowledge of it at all.
(But someone higher up should have told them that)

It’s hard to believe anyone In 2025 (or late 2024 when the event occurred) we won’t realize that these look like KKK clothing no matter where they came from, but we’re willing to give the cleanup crew the benefit of the doubt.
However, Julie, the ship’s cruise director, should be fired immediately.
(We don’t know if the tour director’s name was Julie, but we grew up watching.) Love boatso we assume that all cruise directors have the name Julie.)

Once again, the shape of snow cones puzzles us.
I don’t know!! These are fair questions!
– Jarvis (@jarvis_best) January 22, 2025
We racked our brains over these questions and…no, we got nothing.
Maybe booking a cruise on the SS Grand Dragon was a bad idea?

Duh. Everyone knows that you should only book flights on the SS green The Dragon, where the cleaning crew dresses up as hobbits.
In retrospect, the Democratic National Committee should have found a different way to commemorate the party’s history in its annual fundraising outing https://t.co/Dau3ihjzYs pic.twitter.com/ILpIQ73dTh

Very funny. Was this David Hogg’s first event? Vice Chairman of the DNC? If he gets the job, the Democratic National Committee will be just as disappointed.
That sound is Ralph Northam audibly kicking himself for not thinking of an “upside-down snow cone.” https://t.co/JekidJltIb pic.twitter.com/m7JF2FokV4

Yes, Northam was only celebrating flavored ice (without adding flavor). Just as Justin Trudeau wasn’t wearing blackface, he was dressed as an Indian clay wrestler.
Australia? Are…are you okay? https://t.co/v21DJM3Ksb

Please, whatever you do, do not give P&O Cruises any second thoughts. We’d hate to see an “Al Jolson-themed event.”
But since we’re not the American left, which loves to cancel anyone and everyone, we won’t forever condemn the cruise line for this mistake. We’re willing to give them a pass here for what was likely a very unfortunate incident and a terrible lack of awareness.
But this ticket comes with a price. We laughed at them endlessly because of their show.
Sorry, Australia. Those are the rules.
Maybe you’ll think about your next cruise event more carefully.
