Looks like a good turnout this year... Well I do believe this years cruise will be the biggest one we have had to date. I am getting lots of replies from players wanting to go on this years blackjack cruise and most are wanting to meet in New Orleans a day or two in advance of the cruise, (just to party and or go to the casinos). And remember one of the main events is going to be a TBT event this year and we will be hosting another blackjack cruise in January 2008 (again one of the main tournaments will be a TBT event. Don't miss out on this years fun, call Tammy with Exclusively Yours Travel and book you cabin ASAP. Hope to see everybody on board this year!
Well, after months of telling people I wasn't going on the cruise this year, I've changed my mind. Me, Jan, and Matthew will be on the cruise after all. It just sounded like too much fun to miss. FYI, the post at the top of this thread doesn't mention our ports of call. We'll be stopping in Costa Maya and Cozumel, both on the Yucatan peninsula of Mexico.
Oklahoma State Champion... I just heard Richard Taylor (and a friend), the winner of the Oklahoma State Championship in Tulsa is coming on this years cruise. Welcome aboard Champ, it is looking like we may get our biggest group of players yet, for the July 14th cruise. Also one of the tournaments will be a TBT event, but with no additional casino fee's (no casino) or TBJPA fee's since the players are already covering the cruise expenses. And remember we will have our own room this year and unlimited Sit & Goes and mini tournaments. If you haven't been I hope you'll join us, and if you have you know how much fun we have. *Special note: most players are wanting to arrive in New Orleans at least a day early, maybe we can get something set up at Harrahs for a get together on Friday night. I'll see what I can work up.
