   Subject: Who Cruise - New Voyage This November   
      
   OK guys, the news is finally out and it's all up on the web site...   
      
   As previously announced, the cruise line forced us to reschedule this   
   year's voyage to a completely new time & place (and which none of our   
   previous guests of honor could make, argh!) Well, most of the dust has   
   now settled from the furious activity these last two weeks   
   reorganizing things and all is now set for our travel agents to begin   
   taking your bookings for the NEW 2011 Sci-Fi Sea Cruise - The   
   "Hurricane Who Bahamas Evacuation" Cruise.   
      
   We have joined forces with our friends at the Hurricane Who convention   
   in Orlando Florida the weekend of 4 - 6 November 2011 to help each   
   other out by sharing some of our guests of honor between the two   
   events, as we have successfully done in the past, once before with   
   Chicago TARDIS, and twice before with Gallifrey One. We set sail the   
   day after the Hurricane Who convention, on Monday 7 November 2011 from   
   Orlando's adjacent seaport of Port Canaveral, and return the morning   
   of Saturday 12 November, for five festive & fun filled nights together   
   exploring the Bahama Islands aboard the beautiful Carnival Ecstasy. We   
   sailed this same ship before for our first California to Mexico voyage   
   after Gallifrey 2003, so we already know how much fun it is. We have   
   port calls at the islands of Freeport, Nassau, and the private resort   
   island of Half Moon Cay, plus a full fun day at sea on our way back   
   home.   
      
   Invitations & negotiations are ongoing for additional guests to both   
   events, but as far as those who will definitely be sailing aboard the   
   cruise with us, we have our first two confirmed guest announcements,   
   and they are both memorable guest artists from the 10th Doctor era of   
   the New Series of Doctor Who: Paul Marc Davis and Chipo Chung. Doctor   
   Who fans first saw both Paul and Chipo in the same pivotal episode   
   that brought together the 10th Doctor, Martha and Captain Jack to   
   witness the rebirth of The Master, "Utopia." Paul played the ferocious   
   Chieftain of the Futurekind, and Chipo played the delightful Chantho.   
   Over the next few years fans were to see more of both our cruising   
   companions, as Chipo returned to join David Tennant, Catherine Tate,   
   and Billie Piper in the standout episode "Turn Left", playing The   
   mystical Fortune Teller who showed Donna what terrible things would   
   have happened had she done things just a tiny bit differently.   
   Meanwhile Paul went on to appear as an alien in Torchwood, and then to   
   a recurring role in The Sarah Jane Adventures as Sarah's (and the 10th   
   doctor's) arch nemesis The Trickster. So in addition to their own   
   life's and work's stories to relate, they are bound to have countless   
   other tales to tell of their times working with some of the biggest   
   and best loved stars in the Doctor Who universe.   
      
   Because this cruise directly follows on the very next day after   
   Hurricane Who (and plans are even afoot for a bon voyage party on the   
   Sunday night at their hotel, but more on that later...) you have the   
   opportunity to combine both events into more than a full week of   
   fannish fun, and only have to fly in and out of Florida the one time   
   if you're not a local. Plus there's always the tempting option to stay   
   even longer to sample all of the usual Florida tourist activities if   
   you so desire.   
      
   As always, all of the info on the cruise - Names, Dates, Places,   
   Prices, How To Make A Reservation, Etc. - are available on the   
   official Sci-Fi Sea Cruise web site, located at http://www.scificruise.com   
   so go check it out now, including how to score a FREE $50 per cabin on   
   board spending account credit by supporting our EARLY BOOKING effort.   
      
   Thanks so much for your patience at the rescheduling of the event, but   
   I honestly think we've come out of it with a BETTER overall event for   
   you, the fans, to enjoy (and it's much cheaper now too, nothing wrong   
   with that!) Hoping soon to be able to welcome YOU aboard in November.
