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!

Hi folks, there's still time for you to join us. I hope you'll do so.

[The Shrew]

OK D1! I'm looking forward to this cruise! It's been a long time since I was at sea! I think it's going to be a blast!

Regards,

TS

[DoughtyOne]

Hey Happy New Year. Good to see you. I'm looking forward to it too.

[chance33_98]

AHOY Matey's and a Bump to you!

[DoughtyOne]

Hey you've been holding out on us. You're the one with inside connections.

[chance33_98]

My psychic advisor from jamica told me this was a photo of me in my last life, which was cut short by falling over board drunk. I only paid the 900 number $100 to find all that out, amazing what greasing the palms of psychics will do! Oh wait, that sounds like something a liberal would do...

IMPORTANT NEWS FROM YOUR CRUISE COMMITTEE!!!

Ahoy there, Freepers! A post-holiday greeting from the cruise committee. Hope you all enoyed the Christmas and New Year's season.

Back to CRUISE NEWS today. Here's some tidings of great joy for all freepers thinking about signing up for our tropical vacation getaway on May 31 to the lush islands of the Caribbean.

Carnival Cruise line has notified us that it's giving our Freepers a $50 reduction in price per person! This includes new registrants as well as those already signed up.

You still have to register with your $250 deposit to hold your cabin, but each of you can deduct $50 per person from your final payment before the cruise. Rates may be viewed by clicking the "cabin fares" link provided at the top of this thread.

Again, if you're already registered, you will save $50 per person on your final payment, so don't forget to deduct it.

This will be good news for a four-member Freeper family already signed up who will realize a $200 saving, LOL!

Sign up now on the form provided in the "registration" link and send it in today while our group rates still hold. After January 27 the cruise line has the option of picking off cabins from our reserved block for other potential customers if needed. We can't guarantee the availability of cabins and our special group price after the end of the month.

Please note the dates on the registration form are now changed. Deposit of $250 is not due till January 27, 2003. Final payment is due March 14, 2003.

So don't delay getting your deposit in if you want to be a Freeper Cruiser. There's nothing we can do about the cut-off date. No cruise line will hold unreserved cabins in a reserved group block forever if other customers are clamoring. It's the free enterprise system at work.

Your immediate deposit will secure your cabin and our special group rate. The remainder of the fare is not due till March 14.

If you have any questions, please post them on the Bahama Mama Q & A thread (link at the top) so that your ever-lovin' Mama can keep things organized and folks know right where to go for instant answers to their cruise questions.

FReeps Ahoy!

Great news Leni!!!!!!!!!!!!

Cruise Bump!

[DoughtyOne]

Well no matter, I'm sure that's the pirate inside. Take care. And stay away from Miss Cleo.

WOW! This is great news, Leni!! I think I'll PING some ARIZONA FREEPERS!!!!

[TaZ]

Haha, this is funny stuff...

When I go on vacation, the last thing I want is to hook-up with a bunch of people debating politics. ; )

[dittomom]

LOL!! You mean, the FIRST AND LAST thing you want to do is "hook-up with a bunch of people debating politics"!!!!

[TaZ]

"LOL!! You mean, the FIRST AND LAST thing you want to do is "hook-up with a bunch of people debating politics"!!!!"

True, I'd rather participate in a conference to actually restore the Republic, starting with discussion on how to throw the corrupt two-party political regime out of Washington! ; )

Of course, I would like to see Gov't. restored to the original Constitutional limits...

[MinuteGal]

I was browsing the FR archives and came upon a thread of comments made by Freeper Cruisers after last year's terrific "Escape to Freeper Island" cruise event. Here are some excerpts:

"You HAVE to come on the next cruise - it was fantastic! I didn't know that anything could be so.....well, a description or statement is just so inadequate. You just have to come!!!"

"We had a great time. We cannardly wait for the next cruise!"

"I'm ready to go again tomorrow!"

"The 'Rats (over on the DU website) are not happy. They wish they could have gone on the cruise!"

"We are all counting on it, Bigun
And we cannardly wait for the nextun
'Cause when Freepers cruise
And party, mix and schmooz
The result will always be good nuze!"

"I think it's cool to have the kids come, too. I'm going to try to bring one of my grandkids next cruise."

"The cruise was more than I could have imagined, in more ways than I could possibly say!"

"This great cruise was way too short. Hope the next one is longer".

Well, your wish was our command and this will be a one-weeker!

We cannardly wait to post some more enthusiastic comments from the last cruise. Stay tuned!

[Slip18]

Bump back at you, dittomom!

Will FReepmail you today, I promise.

Re Post Numbers 2 and 4:

Do we have a disruptor on this thread today D1?

[Molly Pitcher]

A Cruise Bump! I enjoyed the last one sooooo much! Wish I could go on this one.

To anyone still thinking about it: DO IT!! FUN, Exciting places, Lovely accomodations and delicious food, and BEST OF ALL: Wonderful FReeper company!!!

[MinuteGal]

Slip, there's always those armchair critics who show up on the threads to throw cold water on ANY positive freeper activity of any kind. They seem to take some odd kind of enjoyment from it.

The wonderful quote of President Teddy Roosevelt on your profile page sums things up pretty well, I think.
