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!

Welcome aboard, Uncle Kermie. I sent you a freepmail with more information. Looking forward to meeting you on board the good ship "Triumph"!

Ron, that waterfall pic reminds me of the 7 pools of Maiu.

Another special spot on earth.

[MinuteGal]

Is that Hill and Bill lurking behind the trees?

Where's that big shark when you need it!

[MinuteGal]

Folks, we have some very nice freeper singles who are looking for roomies to share the cabin fare on this cruise. What a bargain that would be for a week's fun in the tropical sun!

Freepmail me at MinuteGal with any inquiries.

It's about 22 degrees outside. I am needing this Cruise right now. This will be a great deal of fun. Welcome aboard.

[Luis Gonzalez]

Hey Leni, I completely blew off calling the hotel today, but I will tell you that mosty hotels in that area have shuttles making airport/cruise terminal runs all day.

I'll give you an exact answer real soon.

[MinuteGal]

Thanks, Luis. You have another freepmail.

After leaving the Carnival dock in Miami, the first port of call will be Cozumel, Mexicio.  The partly cloudy east coast of the Yucatán Peninsula and the resort island of Cozumel are apparent in this southwest-looking, low-oblique photograph. Cozumel Island, a popular tourist and resort area 24 miles (39 kilometers) long and 7 miles (11 kilometers) wide, is noted for its beautiful beaches and spectacular coral reefs. Point Molas is visible at the northeast tip of the island. Expansion of roads and clearings for homes, golf courses, and other recreational features are discernible. Cozumel and the Yucatán Peninsula are susceptible to hurricanes from July through mid-October. Hurricane Gilbert in 1987 was the last major hurricane to hit the area.

[DoughtyOne]

Today's graphic was an aerial photo of Cozumel.  It was a small poor quality photo I blew it up and convered into a simulated painting.

Yeech.

Freepers, if you're interested in a unique golden opportunity to big-game fish in the azure, calm waters off Cozumel, please click on the Bahama Mama link at the top of this thread. If you scroll to reply #160, Strela has posted some exciting information for a once-in-a-lifetime freeper fishing adventure!

Leni, I paid a deposit, can you tell me when the rest of the balance is due on the cruise?

BTTT!

Sign up now, before the glaciers return.

Sorry for the duplicate posts, but it's happening to many of us yesterday and today. Just color us "ditto-heads" for the duration of the slowdowns, LOL.
