This four slide PowerPoint presentation gives you some basic information about the cruise. As additional information is developed, we'll post additional slides. If you have a question not answered post a comment, I am sure others have the same question as you. We'll round up the answers and post them here, your one stop information source about the 2010 Freedom Cruise You can also listen to podcasts talking about the cruise and check the blog for day to day news about preparations for fun in the sun.
I know that one missing piece is how to book your spot. This spread sheet will track who has committed to date, updated in real time.
When you sign up we'll add you to the list and you'll get the ability to participate in this blog by directly posting and I am looking to see how to make the Google Documents - the PPT and the spreadsheets - open to editing by people who have paid their deposits.
To date about a dozen dialyzors have expressed enthusiasm for participating, some expect friends and family will attend too. We have assked to have 50 cabins set aside. I hope you can join us too.
If you wish to remain anonymous as far as being listed on the rosters, blog posts, etc., that is not a problem. You can use an internet avatar - a nick name you might be know as in the online CKD community - or as NxStager #1, Guest #1. That way everyone can know how many people are going and you can know that your details are recorded correctly. Also you can keep this identifying name to comment or post here.

Bill, so as of this moment since you and I have been to only ones to registered, does that mean we each have 25 cabins? I really don't think I need that many!

At least storage won't be an issue.

Bill & Rich,
I booked our cabin yesterday as a travel agent outside the group so I would not use up any of the "points". We are in a Category 8A.
Hopefully over the weekend I will do some writing and explain about the points so all will know.
I am waiting on one more quote on Insurance. I hope I get that as I need that for us as well I only have 14 days after I deposit.
