SINGING AT SEA

June 10 - 15, 2002

Take the vacation of your dreams
on a five-night Christian cruise
to the Western Caribbean.

  Featuring the Best Groups
in Southern Gospel Music:

...plus comedy with Geraldine & Ricky
and Master of Ceremonies, Jerry Goff.

Imagine the luxury and comfort of vacationing on a floating resort, while at the same time enjoying great Southern Gospel music. Templeton Tours has chartered the entire Jubilee for this Christian cruise. The bars, casinos, and slot machines are closed and the ship's entertainers are replaced by THE BEST IN SOUTHERN GOSPEL MUSIC.

The Jubilee features beautiful lounges, two spacious dining rooms, two swimming pools, a duty free shop, beauty salon and comfortable staterooms with cable t.v. Cruises are famous for spectacular meals, and the Jubilee is no exception with full five-course dinners each evening plus a nightly midnight buffet. With poolside buffets, an afternoon "tea time", and a 24hour Pizzeria, you will not have time to get hungry! The Jubilee 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 wading pool.

Our first stop of the cruise will be the resort island of Grand Cayman. Grand Cayman is kissed by sparkling, turquoise waters...where you can enjoy virtually every water sport you can imagine. Snorkel with stingrays, go scuba diving, sport fishing or just relax along the island's most magnificent stretch of oceanfront, Seven Mile Beach. Thursday morning we arrive at Playa del Carmen, a town of only 6,000 inhabitants located opposite Cozumel on the mainland. No longer the Caribbean's best-kept secret, the island draws increasing numbers of visitors, particularly divers, each year. This port serves as a starting point for excursions to the Mayan ruins of Tulum on the Yucatán peninsula. Later in the morning we dock at Cozumel. Close enough to tour the ancient Mayan ruins of Tulum and 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. 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 and Great Southern Gospel Music every day. You may attend all, some, or none of the events. The week is yours to relax and enjoy vacationing in a Christian atmosphere.

FAQ - Frequently Asked Questions

What About Towels?
Towels are supplied on deck by the pool, so please don't bring any up from your stateroom.

Will I Get Seasick?
Seasickness is very rare on ships as large as ours. All our ships are equipped with stabilizers which are designed to keep them smooth and steady in the water. If you should feel queasy, medicine is available from your cabin steward, the Information Desk or from the doctor.

Is There a Doctor on Board?
Yes, a qualified physician and nurse from our medical staff are on call 24 hours a day. Infirmary hours for medical examinations can be found in your Carnival Capers. A professional fee will be charged. If you should come down with a contagious disease, or even suspect a contagious disease, it is compulsory that you report it to the ship's doctor for the safety of everyone on board. Should you be on any medication, or want the medical staff to be aware of any special needs, please contact our infirmary. This will ensure they will be prepared should you need assistance. Our doctors are independent contractors.

Medications?
Please carry your required medication in your pocket or purse so that it will be available when needed. Checked luggage may not be accessible at all times. If you're using any prescription drugs, vitamins or other medication on a regular basis, you should bring an adequate supply with you since these may not be readily available either aboard ship or in our ports of call. Commonly used medications may be purchased at the office of the ship's doctor.

What About Electrical Appliances?
Bring them with you by all means. Aboard all the "Fun Ships" the current in the staterooms is 110 volts AC and is capable of handling all normal appliances such as electric razors, hair dryers and hot curlers. However, some appliances may require use of an adapter.

Are There Baby-Sitters?
Yes. All baby-sitting takes place in the Children's Playroom. When the ship is in port, we can provide baby-sitting services from port arrival until 2 p.m. On all other days, babysitting is offered in the form of a Pajama Party from 10 p.m to 3 a.m. For these services, there is a charge of $5/hour for the first child in a family and $3/hour for each additional child in the same immediate family. Children under the age of 2 years old are welcome to join in on the Pajama Party. Pillows, blankets and crib are provided. If you need a baby-sitter, please inquire at the Information Desk or see one of the "Camp Carnival" Youth Counselors at any of the scheduled activities.

Where Is the Lost And Found?
The Lost and Found is located at the Information Desk. If you've lost anything, you should report the item to the Information Desk and ask if it's turned up yet. If you find anything, please turn it in there. After the ship returns to your port of origin, all found and unclaimed articles will be sent to the company headquarters in Miami where they can be claimed.

Tipping?
Gratuities have been included in the cost of your cruise. The gratuities are for the following personnel:

          • Dining Room Maitre d'
          • Dining Room Head Waiter
          • Dining Room Waiter
          • Dining Room Busboy
          • Room Steward

Other personnel, such as Bar Waiters, Bellboys and Deck Stewards maybe tipped as service is rendered. 15% of the bill is automatically added to Sail & Sign beverage purchases which you may adjust appropriate to the service received.

Photographic Experiences
Remember to keep smiling! You never know when the Ship's Photographer may take a candid picture of you. The photos will be on display and are available for purchase. Special requests can be made by appointment and are available for a fee. If you like taking your own pictures, film for cameras is on sale in the duty-free shop. One-day developing service is available on board ship. See the Photo Gallery Office for details. Please see Photographic Experiences for more information.

Birthdays and Anniversaries
If you're going to celebrate a birthday or wedding anniversary during your cruise, please let the Maitre d' know.

What to Do With Your Valuables?
We're sure you'll want to bring your camera, jewelry and other valuable items with you on your cruise. However, since the ship cannot accept responsibility for any articles left in the stateroom, public areas or packed in your luggage, we suggest the use of a safety deposit box or cabin safe. For your convenience and protection, safety deposit boxes are available at the Information Desk.

Can I Bring a Radio on Board?
You are welcome to bring radios and cassette players for your private enjoyment. However, for the comfort of other guests, we request that headphones or ear pieces be used in public areas.
