Gary - I am seriously considering this.  Vacation time is the biggest issue (although I swore I would never do another Carnival Cruise this could change my thoughts).  From the way you are pricing this the plan is to share room with our model?  I would probably get a suite or two connecting rooms (I'll bring two models if I go).  Alot of amazing model volunteers.  Really tempting....

Cool... grab yourself a model volunteer and hop on board dude... LOTS of fantastic models listed over the last 3 pages... hope to seeya Sept 2nd... borat

What many people did last time was sign up with Carnival with the model you are sponsoring as your roommate.  The organizer had a list of people wanting room changes so that the models could room with models.  Once on board, these people got an extra room key from Guest Services and people just switched rooms so that models were with models, and photographers were with photographers.  You needed to get the extra room key because everyone had to keep their original room key in order to get on or off the ship in port.

Thats a question you should ask april directly joe. As a promoter, you and gary, shouldn't have to answer for your models.

You are probably right... The only reason I asked Gary is because he is the one that confirmed her, but you're right that shouldn't put him on the spot.

Oh no doubt... Nikki is a fabulous model who'd be a great asset to the cruise.  Sure hope you get a sponsor girl.  Here's a few shots of Nikki I took 3/17 at Phillip Ritchie's studio in Costa Mesa... borat

OMG girl... you are FREAKING AMAZING!... LOVE your writing and communication skills... and HELL YEAH boys... you invite Laura Shodire and she will SERIOUSLY rock your photographic world.  She is the quinticential posing princess and MAJORLY fun to party with.  I proposed to her with a multi-million dollar ring out of a Cracker Jack... and she kicked me to the curb... but that's OK... I still love her anyway. 

So FUR SURE fellas... put this true MM supermodel on the cruiseboat with ya... and you'll FORGET about every other model on the ship... borat

OMG!  I guess I am dreaming, the potential line up here is only possible in my wildest imagination.  Or simply a deposit and a desire to spend a week shooting some of the most beautiful women ever.

I will be attending fitness boot camp all summer to get into the best shape of my life for my 31st birthday.  As you can see from my photos I already have great versatility in style and poses.  I'm flexible, creative, and fun to work with.  If you sponsor me for this cruise we can create magnificent shots in stunning locations while having a fantastic adventure!!

It's up to 241 million... we should all pool together with $20 each... get maybe 20 of us together... get 400 tickets total... MUCH BETTER odds when you've got that many tickets to work with.  If we won we'd all get 10 million each... yaaaaaaay... borat

Winning the Super lotto, very unlikely, wining the model lotto, very easy, book your cabin now, the odds are heavily in our favor...

Lotto is very possible to win, I know one person who won and my dad would have won, he played same numbers every week but for some reason did not buy a ticket on one week and his numbers came up! This is true story sad.

I play because it is the only way to win. I have been playing since it started back in around 1982. Sure I would love to win. Never spend more than I can afford and never go crazy over it. Just keep on trying.    So, if I win I guess Tina is on my list for sure...    smile

edit:

and if I win Tina gets a Suite on board
