BYU has arranged to take over a cruise ship, so this cruise will be all BYU fans! They've already announced several coaches and well known alumni who will be on the cruise — legends like Jimmer Fredette, Jim McMahon, Tyler Haws, Max Hall, Dennis Pitta, Derwin Gray, Austin Collie, and many more, along with several coaches including Kalani Sitake, Jen Rockwood, and Heather Olmstead. I'll be there too, but that's probably a negative for some (most?) on here. 😃 They've also announced some of the entertainment they've booked so far.

Last I heard was that the cruise ship is currently about 2/3 sold out, so while there’s still plenty of room, it is selling pretty well. There will be plenty of Cougar fans on board.

It's a little on the pricey side for a week-long Royal Caribbean cruise, but it's not too bad. It's the Navigator of the Seas, which has a waterslide, aqua coaster, splash pads, Flowrider, laser tag, and ice skating.

They say there will be "themed events, behind-the-scenes stories, panel chats, Q&As, X’s and O’s, meet & greets, photo opportunities, and so much more!" They’ll even have some mini sports camps. We’ll plan some sort of CougarBoard activities as well, and maybe get one of the athletes there to join us.

So if you ever wanted to go on a cruise with people who you have a little more in common with, this should be a lot of fun. It's April 11-18, 2025, and sails out of Los Angeles, with stops in Cabo San Lucas, Mazatlan, and Puerto Vallarta.
