Ask Bahama Mama!

Hey Mon, and Freepers of all ages:

Picture me, your own Bahama Mama, lolling on a sun-drenched beach on Freeper Island.
Warm, sparkling blue waters all around.  Palm trees waving.  Coconut rum punch nearby.
It's a Freeper holiday.

I'm here to answer all those nagging little questions you may have
about our week-long "Freeps Ahoy" cruise to the Caribbean,
May 31st aboard Carnival's "Triumph", a beautiful and fun Ship.

Things such as: What do I bring to wear?...  Are there any hair dryers in the cabins?...
What are tipping guidelines?...  Can my special diet be accommodated?...
How much cash should I bring?...

Bahama Mama will answer all your questions.  Use the links provided on this page for information on cabins,
fare and reservations, plus other topics of interest and "chat" about our cruise getaway.
This "Bahama Mama" thread will be for questions and answers only.
Please keep on topic.  Some answers may take a little time to research, so be patient.
Bahama Mama will respond to each of you.

If you want a private reply to a special query, send a freepmail to Bahama Mama's stateside moniker, "MinuteGal".

Do I hear reggae music nearby?  I'm off to investigate.  It's such an effort to pull myself off the beach.

Fellow Freepers, follow your heart's desire for a relaxing getaway in the sun.  Register now!
On embarkation day, I'll be waitin' aboard ship to welcome y'all with a big warm tropical hug!

Remember, post your questions to BAHAMA MAMA on this thread.
I'm here to insure smooth-sailing for every Freeper signing on for our fun-filled Caribbean adventure!

Freeper cruises rock!!!

Bahama Mama's mainland alter ego...

Bahama Mama thinks all Freepers belong on a beach like this.
Who could argue with that? Register today.
 

This page is for questions and answers only.  If you have general comments
please go to the Cruise Announcement page to make them.
Thank you.

Can we book the cruise through our favorite personal Cruise Travel agent? Or do we have to use yours?

I'm going to defer that to Bahama Mama. She's around here somewhere...

Ahoy, opditch!

Anyone is free to book however and wherever they wish.

We appreciate the wonderful fraternity of freepers who register within our group's reserved block of cabins as, by doing so, it will support FRN's developing programs to strengthen, assist and provide educational material to our many hard-working conservative activist chapters located all over our country.

Thanks for your question. Happy to see you're considering our "FReeps Ahoy" cruise.

Bahama Mama

Hi, neighbor. I'm on 8A too. Back home in Wisconsin we called it a boh-aht. This is going to be fun.

I don't know if you can request or apply for a Quantum Master Card, it sounded in the letter I got from them that it was being offered to prefered customers with a $25k or better limit on their cards and never carried a balance.

Besides the trip cancelation insurance, my card before the upgrade covered rental car insurance and doubled any warantys on purchases made with the card which was handy.

Thaks, dalereed. I get the upgrade offer it seems like every 2 weeks and toss them on the way into the house. Next time I won't.

Freeper reservations are rolling in to the travel agency and will keep on rolling in during the coming months. The cruise committee will get a roster shortly before embarkation. However, we don't publish the names of anyone going on the cruise for privacy reasons. Cruise lines and travel agencies don't reveal this information, either. We will get a final count at that time, also.

Just keep your eyes peeled for folks posting voluntarily on these threads who say they're going. When you get aboard, I think you'll be pleasantly surprised at the number of your favorite Freepers who have signed on!

There may be some confusion over reply # 97 on this Bahama Mama thread in regard to the personal ID documents you must have to go aboard the ship. Let me clear it up:

U.S. citizens must present proof of citizenship in the form of:

1) A passport
Or
2) ORIGINAL birth certificate or state-issued CERTIFIED copy of birth certificate
Or
3) U.S. Military ID
Or
4) Original naturalization papers.

There are more caveats in #97, so to anyone signing up for this cruise it's imperative you read this vital information and make sure your documents are in order ahead of time.

I believe that I read a thread that said the names of those signed up wouldn't be pulished for privacy reasons. Would it be reasonable to post a running tally of the numbers of FReepers signed up to date?

It should be fun to watch the numbers grow.

What is the very last day for registration, what's the maximum number of adults allowed in ONE stateroom, what do they mean when they say that most twin beds can be made into a kingsize bed, and how many king size beds are allowed in ONE stateroom?
Does the stated price for a 3rd/4th person apply for ANY stateroom is this just the bottom price for additional people above the two people? Do you know how many staterooms are still available in the 6-8 categories?

Hi, webber. You have so many detailed questions, please check your freepmail.

Folks, if you have questions about the cruise, please post them on the Bahama Mama Q & A thread. The link is at the beginning of this thread. Thanks.

Prior to the holidays, 20% of the 100 cabins we have reserved en bloc were taken. Reservations are still coming in. We'll know from the travel agency after registration is closed how many individual persons are signed up and we'll let you know. Many cabins have more than one or two passengers in them. We don't see the registration forms and we go by cabins reserved.

Now that the holiday hiatus is over, the tempo will pick up. Our block of cabins may fill up fast, freepers, so get your reservations in today without delay!
