Craziness

It appears that Kim and I are absolutely insane. But we think it sounds like a lot of fun, and we don't do enough crazy fun stuff. What exactly is the insanity in question?

JoCo Cruise Crazy is a 6-day Eastern Caribbean cruise on Holland America’s ms Eurodam, with music and comedy performances from Jonathan Coulton and friends, featuring John

And we should be in that first 250 people who get to go to the cocktail reception with JoCo and friends. (At least I assume so since there hasn't been the promised warning about it getting close to 250 yet.)

We'd love to, unfortunately it's rather too long for shelleycat, given that i expect they don't have any dialysis machines onboard =/

(Well that and it's hella expensive, but the first problem is more significant.)

Blog (/tweet/Flickr/etc.) or die, of course. Have a fabulous time.

I don't know that we'll spring for the pricey internet service on the ship, but we'll make a point of taking pictures and (with luck) making some notes on cool stuff to share. (Maybe we can post updates with an exactly one-week delay. :) Except that we'll be teaching at that point, of course.)

I...am startled that a cruise pitched to this audience does not have free wifi. But I suppose it is an obvious way for them to make more money.

I love this part of the FAQ:

Will I be able to access the internet?

Really? You’re saying that an entire cruise, PLUS several island paradise destinations, PLUS star-addled entertainment, PLUS special activities aren’t enough for you? What kind of person ARE you, anyway?

Oh, right; you’re a nerd.

And we are too. So of COURSE there will be internet access, in the form of WiFi that’s available in virtually every cabin and most public spaces throughout the ship.

The bad news is it’s not free, but we are able to offer a 10% discount on prepaid WiFi access through InSight Cruises (details on how to purchase TBA):

* 250-minute cards at $90 per card ($0.37 per minute) + $3.95 credit-card processing fee
* 500-minute cards at $140 per card ($0.28 per minute) + $3.95 credit-card processing fee
