It's past passenger Wednesday

Here is some of the fun you will have joining us on the Concerts At Sea cruise!!! One of the highlights of the cruise are the dance nights that take place during the cruise. You just can't help it once those great songs start coming through the speakers and you get a group of friends out on the dance floor! Here we are rockin' to some great music...Cruise Daddy and his lovely wife Delores, Larry and Diane, Jimmy Jay's wife Joanne, and yours truly...my wife Julie must have been taking the picture! There is always room on the dance floor for more people...so what are you waiting for...sign up and join the fun!!!! Submitted by 6 Time Concerts At Sea Cruiser Jim Marsella of Laveen, Arizona

Past Passenger Wednesday

Here we are and I'm faking the Lucille Ball look and Bill is the hard core car guy! I just know we are having a blast with friends and did some dancing after one of the great concerts onboard.

Boy have we come a long way from the early days of traveling with 8 suitcases and shoes for every occassion. We just change a few things and have a blast with returning friends to the Oldies Cruise. The ship doesn't have to move, IT JUST ROCKS!

Love it all, that is why we have done 9 of these awesome "theme" cruises!!! Just ask me, Bill and Linda Slupe

Past Passenger Wednesday

It's Past Passenger Wednesday, and I've had some great responses from everyone that think this is a great idea. I know, it's just not Vegas; we also keep our word that what happens on the cruise stays on the cruise. Honestly, I don't think most of your kids or grandkids would believe all the fun we're having.

I couldn't find a picture from our very first cruise, I know we had a 1st one because I have the t-shirt. But this photo is our 2nd cruise which would have been September of 1995 on the SS Norway. I see some of our passengers in this photo that are already booked for 2012. We must be doing something right if they keep coming back after this many years.

I know some of you have heard this story, but our small beginnings started with Bob Harmon's long time client, Paul Revere. He had started doing "theme" cruises with NCL and as I was walking to my car from the office when Bob and Paul stopped me and said.."you really should get a group together and come on these cruises". The first year I did a direct mail piece to our clients and some newspaper ads in the local paper. The first year we sailed with ZERO. Not one person.

Next time I saw this Paul Revere fellow, I was going to tell him that his and Bob's idea was a total bust. Well, Paul was so helpful and told me to get in touch with the local "oldies" station in Boise. I sent "Big Jack" at KOOL Oldies a fax and spelled out what I wanted to do. Well KOOL Oldies 104.3 jumped onboard and the first year we had 80 passengers.

Things were going pretty good, until NCL was sold and the new parent company no longer thought theme cruises were a good idea. Well, not knowing any better, Bob Harmon and I decided that we could do this. Our first year was a little shacky with the event of September 11, 2001, but we stuck with it, and have been going ever since.

The most rewarding thing that has really come out of doing this cruise is the amazing friends we have made. Many of you have really become like family, attending graduation parties, weddings and baby showers. We really look forward to seeing everyone every year, and if you miss a year, we know we'll see you next time.

Our group has grown a little to large for a group photo, but I'd love to post some of your photo's and your memories of past cruises. Just send me an e-mail at tammys@harmontravel.com

Keep Rockin'
