Hello all, since the Tiger Cruise to San Francisco was not one where they were returning from deployment, the rules were more relaxed and there weren't 5000 sailors on-board. If the Nimitz decides to have a Tiger Cruise when they return from their scheduled deployment, it will be 2 legs, one from Pearl Harbor & one from San Diego. You will definitely need a same sex sponsor so that is something you can start working on now with your sailors, especially if they are new to the ship. In the event there is a family day cruise prior to their deploying, a sponsor will not be necessary. 

Is anyone here meeting the ship in Hawaii while they are there for RIMPAC 2012? I was there 2 yrs ago visiting my other sailor who was stationed in Hawaii, during RIMPAC 2010, but unfortunately the Nimitz had mechanical problems and the Reagan went in her place. It's a great time to visit Hawaii with so many sailors from around the world.

Well I noticed that people brought things like blow dryers and curling irons, irons to iron their clothes with, that we were told we could not bring aboard. I followed the rules and a lot of the women aboard did not.

My son escorted me to my female berthing, helped me set up my bunk and put my things away. I had no co sponsor, which I thought for sure I would.

I have always read that you have to have a sponsor if your child is the opposite sex, but I went on a TC last year and didn't have a female sponsor, my son was my sponsor.

As Robert posted in the Lincoln group:

It is entirely on your Sailor to sign you up, get you the paper work and inform you of what to do, so keep in touch and ask questions with your Sailor.

Mind you these are only on return from deployment (if they have a TC) and that she would have to find a male sponsor for you for the cruise.

My grandaughter is recently assigned to the Nimitz and just left for San Francisco. How does a family member participate in a Tiger Cruise? Guess I just missed this one.
