Can't go I just found this forum recently and read about the tournament cruise. I instantly went to book the cruise when my husband "gently" reminded me that our cruise to the Caribbean (already booked) is leaving Nov. 6. I really hope this cruise goes well, as I would love you to set up another one. I won't miss it twice.

Great Cruise Information on Cruise Critic Now that we seem to be getting a "critical mass" of cruisers, I just wanted to remind all - especially those with traveling companions that are not playing in the tournies - that there has been a weath of (non-tournament) information posted at: http://boards.cruisecritic.com/showthread.php?t=167056 (since my first post) for this particular cruise, and it's ports of call - of value to new-comers and experienced cruisers alike! You can get the information by lurking, but it is much more fun, beneficial and of course to get specific information to registering and participating - just like this message board. Chips
bobconley@att.net Bob & Jackie Conley czn't miss a cruise that we can walk to, so we will be there. I hope that we get enough tournament players signed up before the ship fills up.
Discount fares will end soon Book you crusie now while the fares are still discounted. The block of rooms I have will only be good for about four more weeks, then prices go up (about $150 per person).
Valid Captain's License Rick please check to make sure that your captain's license is not expired before the cruise.I hate to have the Coast Guard pull us over and not let the ship continue on it's voyage because of your expired license. :joker:
More than shown here Several of the players that are signed up for the cruise do not have computors, I know of around 16 going that are not posted on this board.
Cruise Information Now that the series of May tourneys is over, I encourage any who will be cruising or thinking about it to not only visit, but begin to participate in the information sharing at the cruise critic thread below - dedicated to the 31 October cruise. http://boards.cruisecritic.com/showthread.php?t=167056 I can see that only a few of the BJT memembers who have posted that they are going have been there this early, but now is a great time to get any questions answered and learn about the non-tourney aspect of the cruise Chips
Blackjack Cruise My wife and I just signed up for the cruise today with Point Loma. They said today was the last day for the group discount. So add one to the list of blackjack players on the cruise.
Welcome Blackjack Bill and wife! For those of you that haven't yet checked out the link to the Cruise Critic site posted by chipsmccoy, there are quite a few links posted there with information about our ports of call. I also expect that more and more cruisers will be finding that message thread as the date approaches.
Up and Down I'm glad to hear we have some more signing up for the cruise, earlier today I heard a couple canceled. I still believe we will have about 60 players per tournament.
Cruise Information and Forum Thanks Ken, In addition to the wealth of information about the cruise, ports of call, and reviews of the ship already posted (on its 4th page now), this site is also a forum to ask any specific questions you have. http://boards.cruisecritic.com/showthread.php?t=167056 Just register like you did for this site to participate. Chips Ahoy!
