Our son said nothing about the "cruise" from Hawaii to San Diego being canceled. We will have to question him about that part of it.

Comment by Barry Bedford on September 9, 2013 at 9:54am

My son who is also on the Nimitz told me that the Tiger cruise was only going to be from San Diego to Everett and that they were skipping Pearl..I'd love to know more information but it comes in pieces(I have a ticket to Honolulu booked)..but I am proud of what they are doing for this country

Comment by Dave Smithers on September 9, 2013 at 1:41am

My son who is on the Nimitz, informed us yesterday that the Tiger Cruise is still on but will be delayed. That's all I know. Flights and hotels and all will have to be rescheduled. That'll cost us.

Hi everyone, Has anybody heard any more info on the Tiger Cruise on the USS Nimitz?  With everything going on in the world, just wondering if the dates have or can change.

Comment by Mark Rokes on August 21, 2013 at 12:32pm

Hi Everyone, I am trying to find out how many total days it takes to transit from Honolulu to Everett. Reading other posts, it looks like the Honolulu to San Diego trip is 6 days. I presume one day in port in San Diego and 2 days transit to Everett. I am making my travel arrangements. This going to be fun!

Comment by Dave Smithers on August 13, 2013 at 10:53am

My wife and I are now officially registered and confirmed for the upcoming Tiger Cruise on the Nimitz. My son held back the e-mail confirming the dates, for a couple of weeks for some reason. I won't mention the dates here for security purposes. We are set up to check into the Marriott at Waikiki in Honolulu a few days prior to the cruise so we can spend a few days in Hawaii beforehand. We're getting pretty excited! We would be happy to meet up with any other "Tigers" that may be in Honolulu prior to the Cruise. Just e-mail me if you are interested in connecting prior to the cruise, either by e-mail or in Hawaii. Looking forward to meeting the other "Tigers".

CO of the USS Nimitz posted a shoutout on the Nimitz Facebook page a few hours ago.  He mentions the Tiger Cruise coming up.

if you click this link it'll take you to a list of video/slide shows and blogs about the Theodore Roosevelt cruise in '09.  I've asked tons of folks to write detailed blogs about their experience, but no one really has....so you can read through my series of blog posts and get an idea of the experience and what to do and expect: http://www.navydads.com/group/tigerorfamilydaycruise/forum/topics/u...

Hi everyone. I have been on the TC the last two years on the Stennis and it was great getting to spend time with my Son at his job. I took a step of faith and booked using the dates he gave me and all went well. You will hear this a lot but one more time (pack light, take lots of photos).
