Blue Suede Cruise: celebrate Elvis aboard the Carnival Fantasy

Are you lonesome tonight? Feeling like a hound dog? Ready to dust off your blue suede shoes?

You're a perfect candidate for the four-night second annual Elvis Cruise, which sets sail from New Orleans aboard the Carnival Fantasy on August 28, 2008, with two days at sea and a day in port in Cozumel, Mexico, before returning to New Orleans on September 1.

But the real focus will be the King himself, with Elvis-themed shows every night of the cruise and special activities including Elvis trivia and bingo, Elvis movies and documentaries, Elvis tribute performances, an Elvis tribute contest, cocktail parties with old friends of Elvis, and more!

In fact, the entire cruise will be Elvis themed -- right down to the banana and peanut butter sandwiches in the dining room. (Just kidding -- I think...) Some 1400 Elvis fanatics will be onboard.

To join them, you'll need to book and pay in full for the cruise by May 15 (though it may fill up earlier). Prices start at $699 per passenger double occupancy and go up to $2,750 for a penthouse suite (Elvis would approve), not including a $175 charge for fees, gratuities, etc. The third, fourth, or fifth guests in a stateroom can travel for significant discounts.
