My friends and I are going on a Crop and Cruise in November. I've been to many retreats and crops, but I have no idea what to expect or pack. Anybody have any experience with crafty cruises?

No experience here. Sounds amazing!
Who is sponsoring the cruise? I am thinking the sponsors would be providing product and classes, and all you would need to pack Craftwise would be some basic tools and a camera.

I know a lady that has done a couple and I'm pretty sure she liked them. The lady that goes is the lady I wrote about in the crop nightmares thread. So. No idea what she takes I haven't been to a crop at our new last so I don't see her.

I discovered archivers “Scrapfest” and thought it was basically sent to me by angels, no kids or husband for 3 days doing all the crafts I want while wondering where had this been all my life!! I was SO PUMPED for the next year, but not long after I was back home I got an email that it was discontinuing archivers (Houston’s only specialty scrapbook store leaving us with hobby lobby, Michaels and Joann’s) and NO MORE scrapfest! There was basic grey, fancy pants, I got Heidi swapp to sign my shimmer spray and Maggie Holmes to sign a layout. Amy tan was there I think but class was full or overlapped.
I haven’t found one with any good names since but if they use those brands of products I’d be down for that too!

I have recently started crafting with a group of ladies who did this 2 yrs ago and are going again in March. I've never been on a big cruise ship before so I'm a bit reluctant at this stage. Also it's several thousand dollars for 9 days which I would probably rather spend on a holiday with my husband! I attended a 3 day camp with them and these are things I picked up about their plans- main focus seemed to be on packing lightly. They do have a room they can use for the entire cruise so they can leave all their stuff set up. - they are sharing some bigger tools - taking pre-stamped, pre- prepared projects to do - last time they had specific specialist classes but have decided not to as it tied people down to a particular time. - this time having two short card/travel project classes available, but it is mainly being promoted as "do your own thing" so people can go and crop when they want or hang out at the pool. Most of the people who went last time are returning again and they were all very positive about it. Make sure you come back and tell us all about it- who knows I might be persuaded to try it next time!  Corinne |
