May Newsletter Update


Cruise Cash Contest!

The Fun Starts BEFORE You Leave Home!

Here’s your chance to win cash and prizes BEFORE CreativityAtSea.com 2010. How do you win? Glad you asked! We’ll be announcing a new ‘Creativity Contest’ each month through this newsletter. Take a look at our very first contest below!

Each month we will be offering a different prize. Some prizes are directly connected to CreativityAtSea.com 2010 (OnBoard Credit, Spa Discounts and Shore Excursion Discounts and more!). Other prizes will have nothing to do with the cruise but are just as exciting - WonderImagery.com gift certificates, BarryMitchellProducts.com credit and special surprises from some of our friends and sponsors.

Do you know what this means? You don’t have to be registered for the cruise to participate. We just want to start the fun for everyone NOW and give folks a taste of some of the creative things we do on the boat.

The more people we have registered for the cruise and subscribed to this newsletter, the better the prizes will be. So help us out by forwarding this to all your friends who aren’t on the list and aren’t on the boat or tell them to get over to www.CreativityAtSea.com and click on the newsletter link to subscribe.

Resource for First Time Cruisers

I got an email about a week ago from Diane Kleefeld (she's the one behind Jim Kleefeld's success :-) ). She shared an interesting resource for first time cruisers. So if you're a first time cruiser or even if you're not, there's some great information on this web site:

There's lots of information there for everyone so THANKS Diane!!



Inaugural Creativity Contest

This is our very first contest of the year so put on those thinking caps. The prize this month is $20 in On Board Credit on the 2010 CreativityAtSea.com cruise. Even if you're not registered yet, you can participate. That way when you DO register for the cruise (you ARE coming aren't you?) you'll be $20 ahead!

For complete details about this month's contest you'll have to go to the contest page on the CreativityAtSea.com web site. You can get there by clicking HERE. Complete details are there but here's a tease . . . it has to do with this drawing:

This contest runs through May 15th. After that we'll post all the entries on the www.CreativityAtSea.com website contest page and have a vote. So just like American Idol, you will decide the winner. Your friends and family can vote on your entry, but they have to be registered to receive this newsletter in order to vote. That's the only qualification. So click on over and get the complete run down on this month's contest. We're excited to see the results!

Dunns River Falls Excursion - early stages

I'm currently in negotiation with a tour company that will take us (those who want to participate) on a river tubing excursion as well as to climb the famous Dunns River Falls. It's a great trip and this company specializes in their guides going the extra mile. The starting cost is very reasonable (cheaper than a comparable tour through the ship) and they strive to get us there ahead of the cruise ship masses. It's going to be a blast!

So that I can negotiate the very best price for our group, I need to know how many of you are interested in taking this excursion. Just let me know by email if you'd like to participate. The entire excursion would run around $60 per person (the more people we take, the cheaper it would be). It would be a 'closed tour' for only our folks. No money is due now on this, I just need a ballpark count.


Til then . . .
