History of the MIXED NUTZ CRUISE GROUP


Welcome to my Blog about cruising with the MIXED NUTZ, which is a Cruise Group made up of fun loving people from across the United States. We formally became a group with a name in 2003 when we gathered together to cruise on Royal Caribbeans Navigator of the Seas.

First of all let me introduce myself and my first mate ( and wife ) Carol. Originally. ...we became the Prime movers for getting the initial group together, mainly because I was the message board thread starter.
The group of cruisers was made up of people who had visited CruiseCritic.com, which has among it's features, a Message Board where you can meet other people taking your particular cruise.

It was a new venture for us trying to co-ordinate meeting all the folks and getting our Sail-Away party planned. We were making name tags and door signs for the people we kept in message board contact for about a year while waiting for the cruise date to arrive.

But, I'm getting ahead of myself. I'll be back later.

  2. John, the site is fantastic! It's amazing how similar our first cruises were. We also cruised Nordic Empress the next year(1991) as our first cruise and were stunned at how large and beautiful the ship was and like you Carol, we were hooked from that day forward. We are happy to be part of the Mixed Nutz family.
