What's on the Horizon for 2014

We'll be announcing the 2014 Itinerary in Spring 2013 

 

Watch your e-mail. We expect a 90 day sell out of that cruise also. Of course if you're getting this e-mail, you'll be notified 2 weeks St Thomas before the announcement is made public. If you hesitate, you'll just be reading about it for another year. So save your pennies. 

 

 

 

 

Alaska is years away if we do it again. Just don't have the passenger numbers to break even on that cruise until the economy rebounds. Mexican Riviera -We are still looking at the Mexican Riviera for future Rallies. We feel this itinerary will rival the Caribbean but we must wait until the cruise lines bring the itinerary back on the west coast. So for now we'll be growing and refining our 2 Caribbean cruises.    

  

We are also fine tuning and improving all our fun and  accommodations at Port Canaveral before the Raddisoncruise. More hotels, more entertainment, an additional party and more services. So, if you haven't checked out our website in a while, take a look around.  www.highseasrally.com 

 

  

 

It's Not a Rumor!! 2013 is SOLD OUT

Unless you're on the 2012 Rally and win a raffle cabin, your only chance to get on board the 2013 Maiden Voyage to the Eastern Caribbean is to grab a cancelled cabin. Starting in January 2013, Cancelled cabins will be posted on the website the 1st Monday of each month at 9:00am EST. Cabins usually sell in less than 2 minutes so you have to be quick. Of course your best option for 2014 is to BOOK when the website opens. Remember, You Snooze...You Lose.

 

 

Thank YOU for 10 Years!!!
 

This being our 10th Anniversary, we would like to thank ALL our past 22,000 plus passengers that have made this the most anticipated FUN rally event in the world, now selling out 15 months in advance. WC12 header Those that haven't signed up already for 2013, we hope to see you back in 2014 and you can be assured our high standards will not be compromised and this event will just keep getting better.  

 

Another first from a Royal Caribbean ship will be fireworks from the ship this year. It only took us 7 years to get it approved. The Eastern Caribbean will be another great itinerary for 2013. Many BIG surprises there yet to come after we do yet another pre-cruise inspection early next year. You know us..everything has to be as near perfect as possible.


Update on Debbie!!!
 

How's Debbie doing? For the new people, I'm speaking about Debbie Anderson as in the Debbie and Dean that created this rally. For those that are following Debbie's progress with her 2 year long battle with lung cancer, I'm happy to say that after a very bad last 6 weeks in Texas, she is doing unbelievably well. D & D MR08 Oh, don't get me wrong, she's not back to her old self yet but it's remarkable how much she improves every day. Although we seemed to have eliminated the cancer in her lungs it jumped to her liver. One good thing about the liver is that it's one of the few organs that can regenerate itself..and that's what's happening now. She's sharp as a tack, just a little down on power right now but gaining every day. She's looking forward to the cruise and don't be surprised to see her in our next newsletter video coming soon. We regret not seeing all our friends on the rally circuit this year but priority one is taking care of Debbie. Thanks again for all your e-mails, get well cards and facebook concerns.

CLICK HERE TO ORDER  

 

You'll need your username and password just to see the merchandise. Don't have it, can't remember it, just give us a call.  

 

The merchandise page now searches your name and only

shows
you what you are qualified to buy. For example: You can only buy year specific merchandise if you were on that specific cruise.

     
     

Non-year specific merchandise can be bought by only those that have been on at least 1 of our cruises. General public (those  that have never sailed with us before), CANNOT purchase any merchandise. We feel this keeps the HSR merchandise exclusive to our passengers only. If you see someone wearing one, they were there.

 

Giveaways Galore!!!

2012 High Seas Rally Giveaway Bike

  Of course, that's just the Grand Prize. There will be approx. $400,000 in cash and prize giveaways on this year's 2012 rally cruise and even more planned for 2013.  

 

We try to increase the numbers at least $20,000 every year. That means 2013 will be even better than 2012.

 

2013 Grand Prize Giveaway Bike or Bikes have not been chosen yet. Very hard to upstage the past year giveaway bike but we seem to do it every year. 

Meet the Staff

 

We also for the first time in 10 years have a great staff at our office that shares our views and work ethic. Without them this year would have been pure chaos with Debbie's 

Christy and Roger
Roger & Chris

situation. No doubt if you call us now,Roger will pick up the phone in 2 rings or less.

Bethanne
Bethanne Sours

 

 

Bethanne Sours is our paperwork genius since Debbie has relinquished that job for this year and also answers phone calls if Roger is on the other line. Both of course will be on the cruise this year. Yes, most likely we (Dean and Debbie) are in the office, we're just not as fast to the phone as these young whipper snappers. Once Debbie fully recovers we now for the first time have the help to really grow and refine this event.
