This is a link to one of the Mixed Nutz Cruise Groups videos.

This is a composite movie of the group on both Serenade and Navigator.

MIXED NUTZ CRUISE GROUP

THE CRUISE VIDEO

I made a DVD of the MIXED NUTZ ON ADVENTURE. It was not a cruise in review but covered it well in our own perspective, covering what the Mixed Nutz did.

The entire video is too large for you tube so I have broken it up into segments. The first segment I posted online was a composite of the original Mixed Nutz on Navigator and Serenade. The next segment I'll post the link here as soon as it is on You Tube. Other segments will follow.

Next trip I'll have a Video camera rolling. I put that away for the last few cruises and have just been using a digital camera instead.

The Quest on Adventure of the Seas.

The Mixed Nutz formed one of the teams for the QUEST GAME which is held in Studio B. This is the multi use space that is used for Ice Shows / Quest / Theme Parties...etc

We were there proudly displaying our cruise group banner. My brother Bruce was one of the Captains. The other was Melissa. Our cruise Director MIKE S. changed up the game a little and even busted someone who brought items to the game. One of the early moments of the game was that each team was to do something to get there cruise director and staff's attention. That group would win that Quest. The groups on the other side were the first to go. The cheered..... some cheered and waved. Some made crazy noises. As it was coming to be our turn, a woman from another group sitting with us suggested. "Lets do "NOTHING". JUST SIT QUIET. Okay...let's try that. And we won that QUEST.

That was only the beginning. It got crazy after that. I captured much of the action in photos and a little video. In the end, THE MIXED NUTZ CRUISE GROUP won the quest. This was a highlight of the cruise DVD I made. Rich was named Ms. Adventure of the Seas. You had to be there. ( or see the DVD) It's too long for You tube.

More Trunk Bay pictures.

Trunk Bay, located on St. John, is a short boat ride from St. Thomas. It is a great place to snorkle. There is a marked underwater trail to follow.

I find this place to have the whitest sand a most crystal water of all the places I have been. I really enjoy just laying half in and half out of the water and soaking up the beauty of it all. To me it is worth the trip and time to get here.

Excursion to Trunk Bay in St. John

Welcome to the Serenade Folks who I thought might drop in.

As I had said, a few of your cruise mates on your up-coming cruise on Serenade are Mixed Nutz members. ( incidently..... membership is open to everyone)

Serenade was one of our past cruises. We had a great group onboard and had a load of fun. We bought a horse for the horse races thanks to Mixed Nutz member Dave, who had the knowledge on how to buy it for the lowest possible price. We unfortunately, did not win the owners race and therefore did not win our money back. BUT...we had fun! I'll post a picture of Nuts so Fast ( our horse) and how he was decorated.

I recently completed a DVD movie of our last Mixed Nutz cruise and added a featurette showing the Mixed Nutz of old. Great fun.....great memories.

The Mixed Nutz next cruise is July 18, 2010 on Liberty of the Seas. We are going west............again! We have new folks that never went on the western itinerary so by popular choice ( as it's done) west we go.

As an organizer of these events, I try to make each cruise as memorable as possible, even at my own cost. Although I'm doing it for others, I'm doing it for me as well.

If you have a moment, look back on this Blog. As you can see, I'm still writing about Adventure. I stopped to make the movie which was very time consuming but the results made it worthwhile. Someday I'll figure out how to get it ( it's large...33 min) connected to this.

Enjoy your cruise.
