More Crew to come...
 

Carnival's cruise ship Triumph docked at St. Thomas.
 

Ahoy, Freepers!  Why not make your next year's vacation a FREEPER CRUISE? Can't think of a better idea!
United we stand for conservative activism AND some good old-fashioned fun, too!

This cruise thread will be running right up until embarkation day.  It'll be packed with lots of information.
Post your enthusiastic comments here.  Links are provided below for stateroom/fares information, registration form and
the Bahama Mama Q&A thread devoted solely to answers for all your cruise questions and to provide you with smooth sailing.

We strongly urge you to register ASAP.  We need a certain number of registrations by a mid-January cutoff date
to ensure our reserved block of cabins with Carnival.  From many communications we've received since last year's terrific cruise,
we're certain the interest is out there.  We don't want to have to deep-six this event if we don't get enough registrations in a timely manner.
PLEASE NOTE to hold off on making your air tickets reservations until we give you the go-ahead.
We have more than ample lead-time for this cruise and you'll be able to get good air-fare bargains in plenty of time!
Since some air-transportation tickets are non-refundable, we don't want anyone to be left holding the ditty-bag.

As an incentive for early registration, the first 20 Freepers to get their reservations into the travel agency
will win their choice of five (5) sheets of Ocents.com stamp sheets (go to that website for Seeking the Truth's array of terrific stamps!)
They will also receive a usflagballoon.com pin courtesy of Abner (check out Abner's usflagballoon website
to view the colorful pin and some excellent pictures of the US Flag Balloon!)  Registrations will be dated and time-stamped by the agency.
Winners will be notified and they'll receive their gift stamps and pins via mail.

We've got a great contest planned for later.  A lucky winner will receive a FREE cabin for two!
Last year, the contest was won by our Freeper pal, Taxman.  This time it may be you!

Bookmark this thread.  We'll keep you posted as plans evolve.  Register now for this fun-filled getaway in the sun!
Informal FRN meetings will be held on board which will be full of information and idea-sharing for effective conservative activism.

Rock the boat with your fellow Freepers!  Climb aboard today!
 

This page is for general comments about the cruise.
If you have questions, do not post them here.
Use the Bahama Mama link and ask them there.
Thank you!

You don't want to know!

Where's Slippy?

[LurkerNoMore!]

Cruise Bump!

It will be hard to top the previous cruise, but this one has the makings of an incredible adventure!

[Fred Mertz]

Cruise bump!

[LurkerNoMore!]

Double bump with no ping-backs!

[DoughtyOne]

Thanks for the comments. I hope you will be able to make it.

[DoughtyOne]

I hope you raised this question on the Bahama Mama thread. She's the "go to" person with regard to questions.

[DoughtyOne]

I will. Nice touch.

[dixie sass]

Adventure? Adventure? My favorite word! As IJ would say, "Dixie, everything is an adventure to you!" and you know what LNM - since 1998 when my ex-roommate, ASTONISHED began to let me post under her name as ROOMMATE TO ASTONISHED it really has. From friends with stuck zippers (who have stuck with me like that zipper did on her) to my first two Knights in Shining Armour here on FR (Eddie Willers and Willide) to two other Knights (Until they tell me I can, I can't tell you who they are) and the three Prince Charmings who took Cinderella to the Ball (GRRRRR, SmartAleckTX, and Chesty-Puller) and met two of the dearest roommates (who had to listen to me talk in my sleep), Antivenom and Carollann and all of you who have stuck with me, Abner and VOC, and especially someone very, very special who has been there beside me through everything and given me so much in so many ways - I don't have to say who he is, he knows.

There are so many things LNM, so many.

[dixie sass]

Bumping and rebumping and just for good measure... boing!!!

[Luis Gonzalez]

It's the shoes again, isn't it?

[Luis Gonzalez]

OK, I've been shopping for some more "conservative" threads for this cruise.

[M. Peach]

Do you recommend singles going? What's the ratio, and approximate age group?

[Slip18]

Nice shirt, Luis!

[Slip18]

When you are amongst FReepers, you'll never be alone. The last cruise was a blast. There was so much to do, but so little time. That's why this cruise (I think) is going to be far superior. We'll have more time at sea to do our FRN business, and the days on shore will be all days on shore.

Go. You will have a wonderful time.

[diotima]

Bumpity bump!

[lodwick]

BTTT

[oiljake]

we were on this ship the end of last month on a canada trip it is great they treat you great wish we could make this trip but we only go on one every 3 yrs

[RaceBannon]

I think us northinern Freepers should have a ski weekend or something...for only $699 a night at Wildcat Mountain or something...or Stowe??

[MinuteGal]

"We were on this ship.....it's great......they treat you great...."

Ah, oiljack, this is music to Bahama Mama's ears!

I'm so sorry you're not able to be with us this time. How about using a Chinese calendar or something?
