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!

Thanks to Seeking the Truth and Abner, we still have some donated gifts for cruise registrants. The next 10 freepers who sign on will receive a generous packet of Gene's O cents stamps of your choice (they're conservative, they're funny and they're great to put on your outgoing mail).

You'll also receive a beautiful flag jewelry pin, a replica of Abner's breathtaking American Flag Balloon which has been touring the country to the delight of patriotic observers everywhere.

If you're planning on registering, do it today to be one of the first ten to win these great gifts. One set awarded per cabin reserved. The links to the cruise registration form and cabin fares are at the top of this thread.

Oh, those sound great, Leni!

I still have the cruise coaster from the last trip, and use it every day by the computer.

Here's the itinerary for the FReeper Grand Cruise:

Cozumel, Mexico - great shopping for colorful native arts, crafts, low-priced unique turquoise and silver jewelry, scuba and snorkling paradise in clear warm waters, sea-front shaded sidewalk cafes in town for freeper friends to enjoy a respite from shopping with a cool rum punch while gabbing and watching the world go by....

Georgetown, Grand Cayman Island - world-famous Seven Mile Beach, a freeper beach party, another water-sports heaven....

Ocho Rios, Jamaica - breathtakingly beautiful views and vistas from the high rain forests (bring your camera), Jamaican Blue Mountain coffee to take home, outdoor native crafts market in town.

This is a leisurely, relaxing cruise, freepers. Pick and choose what you want to do. You may just want to relax on a deck lounge to sun-bathe, read or doze. Take a dip in the ship's pools. Use the gym. Shoot the breeze in a lounge. Go to the movie theater with the family. There's a computer cafe.

All this and more included in your one-time low-cost fare!

To top it all off, if you can take it, you can spend some time watching the TV news on International CNN in your cabin. However, have an ashtray at the ready to throw at the screen, you'll need it, LOL!

"They have an awful lot of coffee in Jamaica", said Tom perkily.

Cozumel, Grand Cayman and Jamaica - sounds like some beautiful spots to me! But for some reason, it makes me think of the drinks with the little umbrellas...

KEEP THOSE TOM FREEPIES COMIN' IN FOLKS - and you could be the lucky winner of a cabin on the good ship Triumph!!!

And here are my second two, of the four required Tom Swifties:

"How do you like this knobby, Bahamian club I bought?" the sargeant said, softly.

"These are the times that try men's souls," he said, painefully.

There, I've qualified for the contest, he said, swiftly.

Has this been submitted, or did I dream it up myself??

"I quit the GOP," John says resignedly.

We didn't have power for several hours this am. as a major tree was taken out on the back property line, and I'm still cold! Brrr!

Um, might have been a dream, or maybe you were confusing Senator John McPain with Senator Jumpin' Jim Jeffords...

Wish I could send you some Arizona heat up there to Ohio. They say it might hit 80 degrees here today - not exactly sweater weather.
