I assume you all have spent time in the Tiger Cruise group....there is a good intro movie there from the Stennis with some safety do's and dont's as well as all the video/slide shows/blogs from the TR's Tiger cruise last year...

Joe - thanks for pointing that out. I can't believe I missed it...too busy looking over the rest of the paperwork, I guess.

If I am correct, you have to make your own flights over to wherever the TC begins, and make your own reservations for where you will stay before you join the cruise. The ladies on the Nimitz site were looking at the motels in the San Diego area.

Did I miss something in the paperwork where the dates were specified? I had thought the dates (start and duration) were tentative, and would be confirmed around Feb 21st when the payments were allowed.

Hi Steve,
I'm curious about this as well. The "girls" in our group have already made flight and hotel reservations, but I'm still in limbo.
I believe we're all "kids in the candy store" right now. I hope you, I and all the rest, get this opportunity to share in our sailor's life on board.

Hello all members of the Nimitz group. I have filled out all forms and sent them back for the tiger cruise, but have not heard an official confirmation yet. My son onbooard the Nimitz says that my name is on the official list excepted by the medical officer. I was just wondering if anyone else has heard anything yet?
This is my first time and hopefully I get accepted on the final list. I have a ton of questions as far as when I should arrive and what to expect. I am like a kid at Christmas waiting to open presents. I am very proud of my Son and all the people on board the Nimitz. What a great group!
For those of you that have been on a Tiger Cruise before, do they send you an itinerary of when to be there, or where to stay?

A few weeks back when my son made a ship-to-shore call, he said that there hasn't been too much info, but he did say that he put my name down on a list as interested in doing it, so I imagine your son did as well.

Link to the Tiger Cruise group

Read through the stuff we have posted there to get some ideas about what you would experience....also have a ton of blogs and slide shows/video there

Not sure that it will work out for us this time. Sure hope that my husband will get at least one in, but our sailor has 4 more years to go.
Are you thinking of going? Have you gotten info from your sailor?
Have a good Tuesday.
