Is this a themed cruise by Carnival or just Tri-Ess?

Do you have a link with more information. As a well seasoned cruiser this could be great fun or a total disaster.

We have done 39 cruises for transgendered persons and SO's over the last 20 years and have never had a disaster. The October 30 cruise is sponsored by Tri-Ess and is also a Halloween cruise. You do not have to be a member of Tri-Ess to register. More info at www.pmpub.com/holidayatsea.htm.

The thing is that it's a pretty long trip just to New Orleans for me. 10 hour drive without cruise control doesn't sound very fun. If I had the money and time I would be getting on that boat in a heartbeat, but now that I realized the stuff dragging me down from going, it may be a lost fantasy.

The age range is from the 20's to 70's.

Where do you live? Some in our group from California, Texas and Florida are taking Amtrak to New Orleans. I believe that Amtrak also has a train to New Orleans from Chicago. This is better than driving and the cost may be less than driving, parking, etc.

My calendar is marked, Now I just have to sell my wife on the idea, and find a sitter for the kids.

I sent the link to my wifes e-mail address, we will see how this plays out. (fingerscrossed)

[Jess]

Sounds like a blast! I haven't been out to sea in years!

[DawnL]

Melanie, I wish we could go. For those of you never having gone, my wife and I went two years ago this halloween and we had a ball. You can dress whenever you like you get to wear ball gowns and get all dolled up. You can visit ports dressed or not, however you're comfortable. It has been a disasterous year or we would probably go again.
We still get Christmas cards from some of the people we met there. As for your Hostesses Melanie and Peggy, they can't be beat.
Have great time all.

Dawn,

Peggy and I have missed seeing you both. We had such a fantastic time on that cruise. Hopefully we will see you both again on one of the future cruises.

Hugs,

Omigosh! Five days straight of being all dolled up. In public too, more or less. Two questions:

1) Will all those 2500 other passengers be CDs and SOs?

2) What would be our reception on shore visits? In other words, is this tried-and-true territory?

If all the others are not of us, that might make it even more exciting to socialize. I think of flirting.

[Lilth]

The cruise sounds fun. My SO is always telling me how beautiful it is out at sea and I have always wanted to try a cruise. This would be fun for both of us it sounds like. I know he wants to go out more all dolled up. Since he has found this site he has become more and more confident with himself all around. A cruise with like minded people would do wonders and I hope we can go. Grandparents are always willing to take the rugrats

[docrobbysherry]

U didn't say that. I'm assuming from my OTHER cruises that that IS the case?
How many cabins has Tri-Ess reserved? How many CDs went LAST YEAR?

[Loni]

sounds like fun
...but no money right now ...
.plus no so to do the min 2 person.

We are a small group of 30-80 among 2000+ other passengers. If you can pass without a problem, you would not have a problem at the two Mexico port stops. So far on past cruises we have not had any problems with those who were enfemme at the port stops.

We can book singles who pay the cabin rate for two persons and one government tax.

We have 48 cabins reserved for our group. Last year our group was smaller with 28 in the group and 52 in 2008. Usually the group is composed of 60% CD's and 40% SO's.

Where do you live in Texas? We expect that we will have as many as 30-40 from Texas on the cruise and would love to share this exciting experience with both of you.
