Welcome!  You're gonna have the time of your life on your cruise....remember it is an active warship and accommodations won't exactly be like a Princess Cruise!!!  Soak in the experience!!

I will be participating in the Enterprise Tiger Cruise and staying at the Hampton Inn.  Would like to meet some other Dads if you are available.  Thanks, Bob Loveless

To David Ferguson, Hi David, My name is Lawrence Demme and I will be on the Tiger Cruise joining my son Evan. this is also my first tiger Cruise and I have not heard anything from anyone since I returned all of the required forms. My son informs me that everything should be all set, but not hearing from anyone at this point has me concerned. I am staying at the Hampton Inn on Beach road the night of the XXth. I would love to hear from you, or anyone, regarding what sort of confirmation information I should have by now. I would also love to hear from others planning on attending the same cruise. I can be reached at Lsdemme2001@gmail.com. Thanks all.

....been there, done that, not necessarily under a set condition but tossing enough to spread the top layer of a cake baked for my son's promotion ceremony all over the galley floor.

you should try that move Roger with a Severe Weather Condition set and the ship moving around !!!
Comment by Roger Sacks on June 6, 2011 at 7:22am
I would add one item to the packing if you haven't already included it, a thin material "house coat" or coverup, packs easily and is a lot easier to put on than sweats or even shorts getting out of the shower with shower shoes on and wet floors.

naturally dependent on weather.....but remember Navy vessels are working warships....and the surfaces are rough what with no-skid on all the walking surfaces and many times rust from the salt air.  Nevertheless, even during our cruise (April...and it was COLD) I saw folks in shorts.....I'd figure a way to pack both.....be prepared!!
Comment by William M. Farmer on June 5, 2011 at 1:33pm
Quick question about a tiger cruise.  I am wondering about shorts and a short sleeve shirt versus pants and a long sleeve shirt, which gets worn more frequently.  This will happen during the summer.

I'll be going on the Enterprise Tiger Cruise. are any of the rest of you staying at the Comfort inn oceanfront? my son sent me a list and this was one of the hotels that the bus will pick up from. I'm just wanting to meet some of the other faters before the cruise. Thank you for any responses. I've never been on a tiger cruise before.

There are a number of places to stay very near the airport....all have shuttles.  For our cruise we met at the airport USO and the Navy bussed us to the base....if you CLICK HERE you'll be re-drected to the area I set-up for blogs and stuff from the TR cruise in '09 and you can read through some of the stuff...lots of photos and stuff as well
