engagement
September 5-10, 2011. Last
year's event aboard the Carnival
Imagination earned rave reviews from those
onboard but Ruddell still decided to switch up
the itinerary to keep things fresh.
The
debut event in October 2010 sailed out of Miami
and made stops in Key West and the
Bahamas. The 2011 cruise will leave from Tampa,
Florida and make stops in Grand Cayman
and Cozumel, Mexico.
The
Grand Cayman stop on September 7th will be an
especially big attraction because
legendary domain investor Frank
Schilling,
|
The
first DN Cruise was held aboard
this Carnival ship in October 2010 |
who
lives there, will be meeting up with DN Cruise
attendees. Ruddell said Schilling plans to join
his visiting industry friends for a boat tour
around the island, followed by a luncheon,
sponsored by Escrow.com, where
he will speak. For many, that alone will be
worth the price of admission.
Speaking
of the price, if you want to get the best deal
available, you will want to book this week
because the fare goes up July 1 (that
increase is mandated by the cruise line, not
Chef Patrick). If you act now you can get a
shared interior cabin (Ruddell will hook you up
with a roommate if you need one) for $499
($559 starting July 1) or a shared window cabin
for $579 (that goes up to $639 starting
July 1). There will be another increase August
1, so the sooner you act the more you save. The
rate covers all boarding fees, taxes,
gratuities, room, all you can eat food,
many cocktails and the excursion with Frank.
Having
been on last year's cruise I can tell you get
a heck of lot for your money, even before
you figure in the invaluable opportunity to hang
out with industry experts and fellow domain
investors for an entire week while cruising
through the gorgeous Gulf of Mexico. I'm
certainly looking forward to doing it again. You
can find detailed information about the cruise
on this FAQ
page on their official site.
