The Magic 100!

Did you know there are books written on 100 things you can do? Books like, 100 Fun Things to do in a Grocery Store, 100 Fun Things to do in an Elevator, and my personal favorite 100 Days until WE CRUISE. Okay, that last one isn't a book but it's GREAT NEWS for those of you signed up for CreativityAtSea.com.

But we also have BAD NEWS. Carnival Cruise lines just contacted us to say our boat is almost full and they may take our unsold rooms back WITHOUT our permission. We're not kidding about this, this is not a last minute marketing trick. They really can take our rooms back if we don't have them assigned to actual people. This means at this minute, 100 days out, we have about 9 cabins left. However, on October 14th they may start taking our unsold rooms - in particular the ocean-view ones. We are sure this is going to be our best cruise yet and we would love to fill all those rooms. But our original deadline of November 7th is no longer a sure thing.

This means if you want to experience the time of your life on a cruise with Tim and Barry and all the gang you need to make a decision this weekend to be completely sure you get on the boat. After October 14th we just can't promise the rooms will still be there. Once again, THIS IS NOT A TRICK or marketing scheme, although it would be a good one. This is real. Our boat is almost sold out and we are in danger of losing our remaining rooms. Contact us NOW if you want to be on CreativityAtSea.com 2010

ANTS! - It's a Contest

What do Ants have to do with Creativity? We will share the answer in our first meeting on the cruise ship in January. What, you haven't signed up yet? Maybe this little contest will inspire you.

This fun contest fits with the Halloween month - ANTS! Lots and lots of ants! We've all seen contests where you guess how many jellybeans, peppermints, paperclips, etc. are in a jar. We have an ant problem for you. We've filled a lightbulb with fake ants (real ones were too creepy-crawly even for Halloween). Your task this month is simply to guess how many are INSIDE the lightbulb. This isn't one of those 'trick' contests with a 'trick' answer. We simply put as many ants in the bulb as would fit and left a few laying around so you can see how big they are compared to the light bulb. So, start guessing.

This month we have a great prize - but it's still a SURPRISE! You DO NOT have to be registered for the cruise to participate in the contests! Click HERE to go to the CAS Contest page to enter!

This contest will run through the 31st of October. Since this is a 'guess' contest, we'll not have any voting this month. We'll simply award the prize to the person who is the closest to the actual number we have in the light bulb - yes, I've counted them!

Creativity Quote - Winner Announced!

Last month we asked you to write a quote about creativity. We received our highest number of entries since starting our contests. This month's winner is Diane Kleefeld from Cleveland! Diane and her husband Jim will be joining us on the cruise in January. Congratulations Diane! Your quote: "Creativity starts with Sea" will be immortalized on this year's CreativityAtSea.com ink pen. The voting was VERY close and Diane only won by one vote.
