Here’s another reason for you to sign up for the National Review 2008 Post-Election Caribbean Cruise: Ed Whelan, the Chief Justice of NRO’s “Bench Memos,” will be joining the gang of (nearly two dozen) All-Star speakers who’ll be sailing on the Holland America Line’s Eurodam this November 8 – 15. Ed will be serving on panels with

Fred Thompson, Mitt Romney, Victor Davis Hanson, Bernard Lewis, Mark Steyn, Christopher Buckley, William McGurn, Jonah Goldberg, Brent Bozell, Pat Toomey, Scott Johnson, Andy McCarthy, Rob Long, Deroy Murdock, Byron York, Kathryn Lopez, Kate O’Beirne, Ramesh Ponnuru, Jay Nordlinger, John J. Miller, Stephen Spruiell, Darcy Olsen, and Fr. Robert Sirico.

Meeting them, hearing their reflections on current events – that’s why folks come on NR cruises (this will be our 21st!). Here are the exclusives awaiting all who will be part of our happy contingent (over 600 people are expected to attend):

  • six scintillating seminars (on politics and current events) featuring National Review’s editors and guest speakers
  • three revelrous pool-side cocktail receptions
  • two late-night “smokers” featuring world-class H. Upmann cigars and complimentary cognac
  • a sunny itinerary: Grand Turk, San Juan, St. Thomas, and Half Moon Cay
  • intimate dining on two evenings with guest speakers and editors

Over 340 cabins have been reserved. There aren’t many left (35 were reserved in the last two weeks!). If you want to sign up, do it now at www.nrcruise.com.
