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!

Why do I have this image of $200 Italian Sandles

Strela Reality Break: 10 year-old Topsiders and/or sandals I've had forever

Tommy Bahama trunks

Strela Reality Break: No-name blue jams I wear around the house (lots of pockets, smear of red silicone sealer on the front where I wiped my hands on it while installing a 10-meter antenna)

pricey silk island pattern shirt

Strela Reality Break: Red and black rayon Hawaiian pattern from Walmart, looks like an epileptic cat having a fit in a platter of tomatoes

copy of Investor Business Daily

Strela Reality Break: Fodor's Guidebook, English/Spanish translator on PDA, maybe a good Diane Carey Star Trek novel if there's a new one out around that time, whatever paperback catches my eye at Barnes and Noble

trailed by Heidi Klum and other former SI swimsuit models

Strela Reality Break: Pushes the bimbettes out of the way while on quest for cheap Jamaican Blue Mountain coffee and a decent djembe drum for Amtgard events (not that import crap either - will commission a real West African craftsman to build one if necessary)

while I hear you lecturing these lass's on the beauty of 'older' women?

Strela Reality Break: Private lecture series to be offered, held at sufficiently cheesy accommodations onshore, intense one-on-one instruction guaranteed.

[dixie sass]

Oh groan DO. I wanna go so bad, I can almost feel the sunshine - only problem is - it's liquid here today, sighhhhh - my one day at home and it rains.

[dixie sass]

Luis, I luv ya, I really do, but... first you were gonna look like a strawberry and now it's a bananna - sighhh.

[dixie sass]

Chocolate? You said Chocolate?

Hi, My name is Dixie. I'm a chocoholic...

[dixie sass]

She said Chocolate!!!!!

[dixie sass]

sighhhhhhhhhhhhh, chocolate, ummmmmmmmmmmmm, ohhhhh Shrew...

[abner]

Ok, I'll bite. Are you implying something about my chocoholic status? You can't have your addiction by yourself? You think of me in the same thought?

Hmmmph. I'm going to go have some bunny ears. Fanny Farmer.

[dixie sass]

Giggle. Have already broken into stash here - Hot chocolate, hershey bars, etc. (Note to self: Will have to make trip to store in pouring rain to refresh stash!)

[dixie sass]

How about a giant chocolate bar balloon?

[MinuteGal]

Every night before we retire, there'll be luscious chocolates on our pillows for sweeter dreams!

Better still, we don't have to make the bed the next morning. Just sit and watch the TV news with a steaming hot pot of delicious coffee brought by the cabin steward and contemplate what new fun happenings will take place that day and evening in the islands.

Leni

[abner]

I can quit anytime I want.

[dixie sass]

Oh yeah? Well, so can I!








sighhhhhhhhhh

[dixie sass]

Sighhhh, Leni, I can just invision myself sitting there...

[abner]

You started this. If it doesn't stop, the bunny loses his head!

Then he goes from a 15 oz to 12... >insert ominous music here<

[dixie sass]

"BRB - OUT TO CVS FOR CHOCOLATE BUNNIES"

[abner]

You go girl! I'm no longer alone in my madness!!! LOL!

[MinuteGal]

Many folks who have not taken a cruise before don't know what they're missing.

Our new deeply-discounted cabin fares are freepin' unbelievable!

One thing that is just great about a cruise is being able to indulge in unorganized time for a change. Good for the nervous system. You can be alone, reading a book in some quiet corner of the deck, or join with other freepers for chats and spinning political tales over a Bloody Mary in a private corner of a quiet salon.

On the Triumph, there are various restaurants, shops, cafes, bars and lounges, sunning decks, pools, game and computer rooms and a theater showing current films.

For more action, there are Broadway-type shows, dancing, discos, kareoke, and the casino. There's usually a night deck party sponsored by the ship with barbequed food and rockin' band music till the wee hours.

There are workout gyms, massage salons and beauty/barber shops.

Dress is tres casual. Food is yummy and profuse.

Your needs and whims are catered to like you are royalty. You don't have to drive anywhere, pack and unpack every day, or be on a constant road search for restaurants that may disappoint you.

You can take reasonably-priced, interesting shore excursions to sight-see and photograph an exotic island with breathtaking vistas. Or you can head for the beaches.......or shop for native crafts and unusual items, gifts, foods and clothes in an island port town.

You get more bang for your buck on a cruise than at any vacation hotel or resort. Even more fun than vacationing at your mother-in-law's house in Florida!

[dixie sass]

Long walk to CVS then an even longer time to choose and nibble and sighhhhhhh - all gone - need to go back and get more...

[abner]

The bunny got it too.

I'm off to cut him into little pieces now...

[Luis Gonzalez]

Dixie, are you implying that I am a little fruity?
