The usual deal is that if the group leader gets 20 in a group, the group leader (and spouse) cruises for free. With that in mind, there is not much incentive to search for the best deal.

Is that what you think is going on here? Seriously? I would certainly hope not, and I'm waiting for your appology to MinuteGal. That was uncalled for. We're all adults here and we don't really need saving.

There's no parading being done here by most of the congenial folks. Find some other thread to pester.

The rates for this cruise are NOT Bahama Mama's rates. They're the group rates as I receive them from our travel agent, Wanda.

Neither myself nor anyone involved in organizing freeper cruises past or present have ever accepted a free cabin or a single dime or any kind of amenity from any cruise line. All rebates in lieu of free cabins in the past have been donated to Free Republic Network and any rebate this time will go directly to Mr. Jim Robinson to benefit FR.

The time-consuming and arduous work involved in putting together a successful freeper cruise is a labor of love which I and other volunteer freepers enjoy tremendously.

If you did all your fervid digging for discrepancies just to bring up that insinuating remark about free cabins, you're way out of bounds.

Why not betake yourself and that thundercloud over your head somewhere else?

Anyone interested in Cruising together?

I could get sprung from here around then...

I'll stay tuned.

Tempting, but school is not out yet and then a few weeks later I will be in Hawaii. Sounds like a lot of fun though.

There are four fresh-water pools on the Caribbean Princess......including an adult pool, and an adults-only "swim against the current" lap-pool next to the fitness center. A calypso band entertains by the side of the popular "Calypso Pool". There are also nine spa whirlpools.

A spectacular feature of our ship is "Movies Under the Stars". You can watch movies poolside on a balmy night in the tropics while reclining on lounges. A steward comes around with bags of popcorn. There's a tropical bar under the screen. The huge screen is Times Square-style LED. This is a fantastically-popular feature of this cruise.....and it's a great place for freepers to get together any evening for a movie and a sociable drink afterward.

Hope to have a photo of this stunning outdoor movie attraction coming soon to a post near you.

Done!!! and paid for.

Oceanview with balcony, category BC, Aloha deck, mid ship. Also have a room booked at the Comfort Inn on the night of the 12th.

We are among the first 20.

I'm excited, having never been on a cruise before.

Good going, Graybeard.....we'll be delighted to meet you and Mrs. Graybeard on board the incredible Caribbean Princess.

Yep, your cabin is in the first 20 booked and you're eligible for one of the three $50 on-board credits applied to your cabin account.

BTW, you can even apply it to a fascinating shore excursion or tour.

Bahama Mama and Wanda are keeping careful track of cabins booked. When we reach 20, we'll have the grand drawing.

Odds are not all that bad to win.....3 numbers out of twenty.....it sure beats the state lottery odds!

Hurry, hurry, everyone ! Be one of the first twenty! The supply of good cabins is NOT infinite. Phone Wanda today at 1-800-266 -1167.

(Sometimes I feel like one of those hottie infomercial babe-ettes on TV ! (well, I just feel like one.....don't look like one, alas).

What a bummer!!! We just got off the Caribbean Princess last Saturday!!! Or we would try to go. But we have an event in Louisiana that week that we HAVE to go to. YOU FREEPERS WILL LOVE "Bert Stratton" in the Crooners Lounge. He performed at CPAC a couple of years ago. You can read all about him at http://BertStratton.com and my fan site at http://BertStrattonFans.com. Bert is a conservative and Pat Boone has picked up one of Bert's songs for an album.

Hey, thanks for the heads up. WO4Man. I've been reading about Bert and he's supposed to be a sensational entertainer in this lounge.

If he's a conservative, he should love to see our freepers converge on his show. Maybe we'll get a mention.

Darn it, I wish you could go. Work on it!

If you wear that devastating tux (on your profile page) on our cruise, all the freeperettes will be a-twitter!

Here's a dandy tour to take when we sail into the beautiful island of St. Maartens. The price is right, also.....$39.

Visit La Femme aux Papillons, a farm that's home to hundreds of the world's most exotic butterflies before enjoying free time to shop in the French capital of Marigot.

Board air-conditioned transportation for the short drive to the farm which is on the French side of the island.

At the Butterfly Farm, you enter meshed tropical gardens where rare and brilliant butterflies float freely. You'll learn all about these little flitterers before you leave this fairy-like environment.

Then head to Marigot where you enjoy approximately one hour of free time to explore the island city with the European flair.

Here you'll visit quaint shops, chic little boutiques, charming sidewalk cafes, duty-free shops and a lively open air market with unique native crafts before returning to our ship.

This shore excursion sounds tres enchanteur to your ol' Mama!

AHOY ROOMIE SEEKERS!

A very nice, long-time (6-years) freeper lady is looking for a roomie to share cabin fare on this voyage to paradise!

She's a non-smoker and a "good sleeper" (we all sleep like rocks on these cruises, so much to see and do!)

She's from the beautiful, green rolling hills of Pennsyslvania, and attended the Freeper Ball in DC.

Please contact me by freepmail at "MinuteGal" if you're interested in making a wonderful new freeper friend plus saving some $$$'s.

I'd go, but I can't afford it right now.

As for all the rumors of problems on cruise ships -- I've been on five cruises -- never had seasickness or other digestive upsets. And despite all the stuff about people going missing or falling overboard -- don't believe it.

If you can do it, do it. Go and have a great time.
