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!

OT OH! SAW THIS ON ANOTHER THREAD!!!!!

Is there any truth to the rumor that the Freeper Cruiser will be carrying WMD (and other cool weapos), and that we will be diverted to the Gulf War II to get in on the ruckus????? Turn us loose, George!!!!! Count me in if it's true! I want a cabin with a view of the Tomahawks.

I'll be there! What an excellent time we wil have!

[Interesting Times]

Oooooog. Your pings are hurting my brain.

Say, that's funny...

Must...have...pina...colada...

[DoughtyOne]

Those are what is commonly refered to as Pingya Collida!

[hoosiermama]

Pingya Collida

GROAN!

[DoughtyOne]

; )

Nobody promised "ALL" the humor would be top notch. LOL

[strela]

Is there any truth to the rumor that the Freeper Cruiser will be carrying WMD (and other cool weapons), and that we will be diverted to the Gulf War II to get in on the ruckus?????

(Bugs Bunny ON)

Er uh, could be ...

(Bugs Bunny OFF)

If true, I get dibs on the radio room!

[DoughtyOne]

How about some video:
mp4 format

Here's a couple of commercials showing the ship we'll be sailing on: VIDEO1  VIDEO2

Man oh man, hate watching those things.  They make me want to leave for the cruise today!

[MinuteGal]

FReeper cruisers ARE WMDs!

Our ship ain't called the "Triumph" for nuttin'!

"TOGETHER we will cheer our victory from the decks, from the beaches and from our landing ports, representing our country like good comrades to the utmost of our strength!"
(Lord of the Freeper Admiralty, Sir Winston Churchill)

This cruise is one BIG freep you won't want to miss!

Will a mai-tai do?

[dittomom]

Yee-ha! A new thread to play on!!!

[diotima]

Yum!

BTTT!

[Luis Gonzalez]

OK, still sorting my wardrobe out, how's this?

[MinuteGal]

FReepers, pick up that phone tomorrow and dial our travel agent, the lovely Wanda, at toll-free 1-800-890-7583 (Pacific time) to nail down your cabin of choice.

Our unusually low group cabin rates are still holding firm but time is running short. Take advantage, also, of the $50 per person discount you can subtract from the rates published on our registration form (link above).

Plus, you'll receive some nice donated freeper gifts just for reserving now.

Cruisers also will receive "welcome bags" at the embarkation night cocktail party/mixer. The contents of the bags will be a surprise, but WOW, you'll be gobsmacked (and codswalloped, also) when you open them up. Some of our great freeper donors have come up with some really groovy, unusual items for the bags.

You can make your credit card deposit right on the phone. Wanda will find you a dandy cabin with your own hot-and-cold running International CNN. THAT alone is worth the price of admission. Bring soft, fuzzy little things with you to throw at the TV! But, at least, CNN cameras are everywhere in the world's hot spots, so you won't miss any action.

If something comes up, you can always cancel your reservation before March 21 at absolutely no penalty.

The Good Ship Triumph is where freeper action will be May 31-June 7.

Join the bold, the brave, the beautiful. Sign on NOW!

[Interesting Times]

Will a mai-tai do?

(slurrrrp).

Ah. Thank you very much.

Uh-oh.

Must...have...pina...colada.

[Luis Gonzalez]

Party time?

When my baby,
when my baby smiles at me I go to Rio...

[MinuteGal]

Luis, if you wear that outfit on the cruise to the Caribbeani
I'll match ya with a teenie weenie yellow polka dot bikini!

(oh, my! What am I promising? No cameras on board, please!)

Leni

[Bob J]

You going L?

[MinuteGal]

You'll find your life will begin
The very moment you're in
The Caribbean
If you're romantic, senor
Then you will surely adore
The Caribbean

When you hear "yo te amo"
From a gorgeous Freeperette
We're letting you know
You'll break into a sweat!

We'll bet a new castenet
That you will never forget
The Caribbean
Where there's steel bands and moonlight
To tingle your spine
Dancing till midnight
Budweisers and wine

Sign on today, you may want to stay
In The Caribbean
Tsk, tsk tsk, tsk
OLE!

[DoughtyOne]

When the rest of us hit the Jamaican beaches, will your chair be empty.  Don't let it happen.  Get your reservations in today.

Here is a new feature.  Each day I'll put up a quality photo of one of the places we'll be visiting on the cruise.
Give me a nice big drink with a little umbrella, and I'll sit quite happily in one of these chairs as the sun sets on this Jamaican beach.

[Luis Gonzalez]

So far, I haven't been able to talk my wife into it.

She likes her cruises with a lot less politics.

[Luis Gonzalez]

When you hear "yo te amo"
From a gorgeous Freeperette

You'll break into a sweat!

Hey Bob, my wife REALLY says no now. :-)

[MinuteGal]

I'll bet your wife is a gorgeous Freeperette!

Leni

[Luis Gonzalez]

Yes, she's a looker, but she HATES politics.

[CounterCounterCulture]

10% more fun,
20% less empty calories,
15% more jokes overall,
17.23% more participation by the friendliest Freepers,

So, in other words, MORE TRIPLE-C?!? Well, hot diggity doo-doo!

CCC says: Beware of sea creatures, for they DO exist!

[DoughtyOne]

Now that's scarey.

[DoughtyOne]

...not the More Triple-C part. : )

[MinuteGal]

I see Hillary replaced Old Crusty with Old Crustacean in that pic. Well, she DOES look pretty in pink and at least her ankles don't show!

Leni

[dittomom]

EEWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!

Ya' just never know what's gonna wash up on the beach!

[Seeking the truth]

Just last night Darlie said: "I am so ready for our cruise".

[CounterCounterCulture]

Ah, there's a classic. I started a CAPTION THIS PICTURE thread with that one.

[dittomom]

LOL!! That's probably where I saved it from!!

But seriously, folks. Call Wanda TODAY toll-free 1-800-890-7583 so you won't miss out on the Freeper Beach Party on Grand Cayman's Seven Mile Beach!!!

Now, THAT'S a BEACH!!!

[Bob J]

The Beach look just like "Orange Beach" in Pelilu. I guees they all pretty much look the same...heheh.

[DoughtyOne]

Located just outside Ocho Rios, Jamaica are some wonderful waterfalls.  Freeps Ahoy cruisers can visit them if they like.

[Uncle Kermie]

Count me in.

[MinuteGal]

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

Leni

[Seeking the truth]

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!

Leni

[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.

Leni/Bahama Mama

[Bahbah]

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.

Leni

[dittomom]

It's about 22 degrees outside. I am needing this Cruise right now.

Weather update for the fabulous Freeps Ahoy Ports 'o Call:

Cozumel, Mexico - Partly Cloudy 84 degrees

Grand Cayman Islands - Partly Cloudy 86 degrees

[DoughtyOne]

Photo was resized downward.  To see the full sized photo, please right click view.

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.
