Sail with Friends! Monroe Crossing invites you to escape the winter and join us on a trip to the Grand Cayman Islands and Cozumel, Mexico, January 2009. Come sail with your friends in the Minnesota Bluegrass community, pick some bluegrass, explore the islands of the Gulf and relax in the Mexican sun. The Ship We will be sailing on Carnival Cruise Line's Inspiration. The Inspiration is 855 feet and over 70 tons of boat. It can hold over 2000 people with a staff of 920. With room for only 2000 people, we recommend you make your reservations soon. And be sure to tell them Monroe Crossing sent you! You can escape the winter in January 2009! The tour departs from Tampa, Florida bound for the Grand Caymon Islands and Cozumel, Mexico. We will be boarding on January 17, 2009 and return on the 22th. Daily Bluegrass Music Bluegrass music will be performed each day. Jamming is encouraged so bring your instruments. There will be both organized and informal jamming, great for both the experienced and beginning player. We don't recommend bringing your finest instruments for security reasons. It's recommended that you record your instrument's description and serial number. Activities and Entertainment Galore The cruise includes tickets to the private bluegrass shows, workshops, seminars and access to private jamming areas. You can also enjoy the regular features of the ship; the casino, the health spa, the shipboard activites and entertainment. Bring Summer Clothes Most cruise activites are casual so bring along your casual spring and summer wear. Evenings are occasionally chilly, so you might want to include a light windbreaker for standing out on deck at night. There will be some opportunites for swimming and snorkeling so bring swimwear. There is one formal dinner ( attendence is optional, but it's fun) so ladies will want an evening gown and gentlemen will want to bring suit and tie or even a tux!
