Enjoy a five night Christian cruise to the Bahamas
with your host, Mark Bishop.

January 12-17, 2009

PRINTABLE REGISTRATION FORM

The entire ship has been chartered for this Christian Cruise. The casino is converted into a Christian bookstore, the bars are serving non-alcoholic drinks, and the ship's entertainers are replaced by Christian entertainers and speakers. Enjoy daily Bible sessions with some of America’s best known preachers of the Gospel.

Just imagine, five nights aboard a luxurious ocean liner, listening to some of the best preachers and teachers in America. Gone are the party crowds and the “Vegas” style shows. We have replaced them with Christian speakers, entertainers, singers, and comedians. The casino is converted into a Christian Bookstore, and smoking is prohibited in all public areas. You will enjoy inspiring Gospel concerts by some of the top singers in Southern Gospel Music, and laugh with Christian comedians Geraldine & Ricky, and funnyman Ken Davis.

Our home for this adventure will be Carnival Cruise Line's Holiday. The Holiday features worldclass dining, offering gourmet delights and sumptuous buffets. From the Welcome Aboard buffet to the 24 hour Pizzeria, you will not have a chance to get hungry. The Holiday also offers a complete children's program with supervised activities for ages 2-15 each day. Kids can enjoy treasure hunts, movies, video games, ice cream parties, and even their own swimming pool. While the children enjoy supervised activities, you can enjoy inspiring Bible study or great Gospel music. This is the ideal vacation for the family.

Our first stop of the cruise will be Calica, the port of Playa Del Carmen, located on the Mexican mainland. No longer the Caribbean's best-kept secret, the port draws increasing numbers of visitors, particularly divers, each year. It also serves as a starting point for excursions to the Mayan ruins of Tulum on the Yucatan peninsula. Enjoy a shore excursion, snorkel, go scuba diving, sport fishing or just relax along the sparkling turquoise waters. Thursday morning we arrive at Cozumel, a resort town of fashionable shops and beautiful beaches. Cozumel is world-renowned for the superb diving opportunities it offers, including Palancar Reef, home to thousands of kinds of brilliantly colored fish.

Shop til you drop, dive in, or just kick back on a sun drenched Mexican beach and say 'adios' to all of your everyday concerns. All this plus...Christian Fellowship. The week is yours to relax and enjoy vacationing in a Christian atmosphere.
