PRE-REGISTRATION FOR THE ONE AND ONLY 2008 RUBY CRUISES CRUISE TO LOSE IS...

Let us hear from you!  Go to www.rubycruises.com, and in the upper right hand corner, you may pre-register (at no cost) for next year’s cruise!  It will be once again on Mariner of the Seas, sailing on a week long adventure to the Western Caribbean (Labadee, Ocho Rios, Grand Cayman and Cozumel) from Port Canaveral, near Orlando .

To date, we have nearly 200 OH’ers registered for this cruise!  WOW!  You’ll see lots of familiar faces, and some new ones too!  We currently have bariatric surgeons, a plastic surgeon, a bariatric coordinator, a nutritionist, and a fitness instructor joining in for next year’s activities.  BUT…..this is also your cruise VACATION, and a chance to meet, mingle and CELEBRATE with your fellow WLS’ers!! 

ALL are welcome – pre-op’s, post-op’s, of ALL TYPES of WLS, family members and friends, so fill out your pre-registration form today!

Watch the board for more information and updates coming SOON!!

Check out my profile for pictures of MARINER OF THE SEAS from a cruise I did with my family in 12/04, and from just two weeks ago when I did an inspection tour for this year's CRUISE TO LOSE!  Make sure you check out the pictures of the Royal Promenade, ROCK CLIMBING WALL(!!!!), 18-Hole Mini Golf Course, ICE SKATING RINK (again, !!!!!!) among other points of interest!  The Royal Promenade has café’s and bistro’s, and Promenade Cabins overlooking the “main street” – these areas are actually “Inside cabins” retrofitted with a picture window overlooking the promenade!  NO OTHER CRUISE LINE offers such a great, inexpensive alternative to what would otherwise be an “Inside”!!  Each day there are various activities here, including parades, parties (70’s and 80’s parties, Mardi Gras, etc.), and while at sea, the shops along the mall are open for business!

I cannot TELL you how much I am looking forward to these two Cruises to Lose - both this year's (next MONTH!!!!!) and the 2008 event!  It had been awhile since I'd been onboard Mariner, so when I did the inspection tour two weeks ago in preparation for this year's cruise, I was absolutely THRILLED by the shape she's in!  She still looks brand new!  It brought back lots of memories, and got us SO excited for the next two cruises!   Hope you can join us for next year's event!    ~ Terri

Oh man - we could have the combined birthday celebration to end all celebrations! LOL  I put the 2008 cruise together when I did to allow for easier payment options - paying it off a little at a time spread across a year is MUCH easier than having to come up with a big lump sum.  GRADUATING from college is MUCH nicer than STARTING college too, especially from the viewpoint of mom and dad's bank account!  Been there, done that! LOL  Well sort of.  Mine both started, but have not finished - they got too busy with jobs and babies!  I hope they both finish up some day, but that will have to be on THEIR dime!   Anyway, It would be so cool to have a dual Birthday Celebration onboard!!
