I remember a bunch of YouTubers did a get together where they all went on the same cruise and met up with each other, etc.

[ladyjade3]

Might I point out that Galveston is in Ron Paul country? ie his district? I strongly suggest we depart from there. :)

+1!!!

[Kludge]

New Hampshire from California :p

[SnappleLlama]

I'll have to know way ahead of time...I'm severely broke right now :(

[painter4Ron Paul]

Good point Galveston being Ron Pauld district and Voyager of Sea, a mega ship, docks outta that port.

[Anti Federalist]

New Hampshire from California :p

+1000

You won't catch me on a Caribbean cruise from Galveston.

That would be like going back to work.:D

[SLSteven]

Caribbean in the winter, Alaska in the summer

[Bryan]

I could do Galveston- its pluses:
+ it's more central than Florida (you can hit the same destinations anyway).
+ It is Dr. Paul's district.
+ It's a short drive for me. :)

The next big question would be, how many days? IIRC, they have 3, 5, 7 etc... 3-5 might be a best fit for most but that's another poll. :)

I totally agree with this. And not just because it's only 3 1/2 hours from where I live. :D

[slothman]

There's only a 1% chance I would actually go but Seattle to Alaska would be best.
I don't want to leave from Texas or go in the Caribbean and I am not in Erupoe(sic).
I also would want to do a winter trip if it's in Alaska.

[aspiringconstitutionalist]

Washington state to Alaska? Sounds like the perfect route to liberty. :)

[tmosley]

Galveston for me. It's a 10 hour drive, but still closer than any of the other ports, plus I have family down there. If I remember correctly, there is also a Royal Caribbean ship that docks there as well. There is also an occasional transatlantic ship that goes there (from England, I believe).

I took a cruise on Voyager of the Seas a couple of years ago. Best vacation I ever took.

I would just like to point out that Ron Paul supporters are overwhelmingly male. I seem to recall the New York Times claiming our exit polling data showed that 85% of Ron Paul supporters were doods.

This cruise will be a sausage fest.

Just FYI.

Maybe if we go on more cruises we will garner more female Paul supporters.

That's why this is going to be a couples event- or didn't you get the memo? ;) :p :)

[Nirvikalpa]

I would totally do this - ANY PLACE.

Hmmm..... In line with liberty, I suggest it be clothing-optional.

[Roxi]

me too, if it departs from galveston and i have plenty of notice im soooo in

[Joseph Hart]

Cruises are like mini-big governments. They out number us. International waters crimes are always sketchy. NO THANKS

[muh_roads]

This sounds fun. I endorse this idea. Plus we've been thinking about going on our first cruise anyway. And in fact we were thinking about the Caribbean as well.

[RonPaulFanInGA]

We need a Ron Paul cruise website (ronpaulcruise.com?)....preferably with a doctored-photograph of Ron Paul in a Hawaiian shirt somewhere on it.

Would the Ron Paul cruise actually have Ron Paul on it?

Both Adam Curry and Ron Paul will be on the ron paul love boat.

[UtahApocalypse]

Instead of "Ron Paul" cruise we should have it be something more open....

Liberty Cruise 09'

Nah. It should be 'Ron Paul cruise', to show the brand of liberty with which the people on the cruise identify with.

Everyone say they're for liberty. Bush says it. Socialist party members say it. 'Liberty Cruise' can apply to anybody.

[RonPaulFanInGA]

Bump for a still-great idea.

[invisible]

$800 to go party on a boat? No thanks! I can certainly think of better / more productive ways to spend that kind of cash if I had it. A social gathering can be done much more cheaply in a central landbased location, and the difference in cost put towards more productive uses. If you have $800 of disposable income to blow, why not use it to get freedom-supporting candidates elected or re-elected? Of course, it's not my place to tell anyone what to actually do with their money, but I'd rather see that kind of cash go towards Ron's 2010 Congressional campaign, or helping to convince him to run for prez in 2012.

Some people do not live for this movement, I imagine.

[Athan]

I'll get my passport for this cruise!
If it is going to the Caribbean from Galveston, of course.

Will they be heading to Rivet City to observe the failboat of Bethesda?

[RonPaulVolunteer]

I'll go on a cruise once we have victory.

Or when the U.S. government takes you on a massive tanker so they can torture you.

So if we got on one of those "party" cruises, what would our chances be of seing you in the.....um...... "clothing libertarian" parts of the ship, Rachel? :D

[mediahasyou]

How do you guys like this one?

if you can easily harvest fish/shrimp from the surrounding sea and grow plants on top... it would be worth it.

- Wow, that's true. This cruise would for sure be one big sausage fest. Ughh

bring your own liberty date with you.. and problem solved.

[Natalie]

I voted for Galveston, because it's 45 minutes away.

I'm THERE.

[RonPaulFanInGA]

What's the Campaign for Liberty waiting for? They should organize this.

Which one of these do you all like? Doesn't take much organization. Let's just pick a ship and go.

The cheapest one, anywhere between September and December 2009. That's just me.

This would increase the amount of people who could afford to go.
