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!

Kudos from the committee to the early-bird registrants who insured the attainment of our goal. You rose to the occasion and we owe you our hearty thanks. Also, a special thank-you to freeper Lodwick for his unstinting time, efforts and talents in support of getting this cruise off the ground. You're the Greatest, Loddie!

We'll notify the winners of our early-registration incentive gifts when all the paperwork is complete. The travel agency dated and time-stamped all registrations and we'll have to wait for the information to be processed and sent to us. Please be patient.

Next order of business is to fill up the remainder of our reserved block of cabins, and then some! The cruise committee will now get to work on plans for programs and activities that will make this trip a huge success in every way.

A reminder: Our cabin block is limited, but can be expanded IF.....and we emphasize IF......there are more cabins available. Cruise ships fill up fast and way ahead of time. We are not the only organization, group, or individuals that are booking on this ship. There are just so many cabins on a ship. When the ship is full, it's full.

So, don't be left stranded on the beach if you'd love to join your fellow freepers on this exciting and informative getaway voyage!

Oh, that photo is such a bummer! My midnite buffet tonight will be two leftover cold chicken wings and a glass of 2%.

Woo hoo! Glad to hear about the great response.

Let's do this thing - I can't wait for late May! I pity the poor sap who gets the cabin next to mine (heh heh, twirl moustache ...)

I just told my daughters I am really going to get to do this. I've paid for 2 spots and my oldest may come along. She is graduating from law school just before the cruise and will have to take a real job. I hope she comes. She interned with Army Jag last summer and you would really like her, I am sure.
