Star Trek the Cruise an Away Mission And General Cruising Tips

Star Trek the Cruise an Away Mission And General Cruising Tips
By Bryan and Teresa Hoag (USS Ticonderoga)

The first time we went on a cruise in 2013, we had no idea that it would become one of our favorite forms of vacation. Then when we found out that there were themed cruises, specifically a Star Trek themed cruise it took our love of cruising to new heights. Research was done and there are practically no limit to the themes that are there. For example, there is an 80’s and a 70’s cruise that are produced by the same company that does the Star Trek cruises. During research we found that there are Golden Girl themed cruises. There seems to be a cruise for any one’s favorite activities.


Then there are the destinations. The first cruise that we went on we sailed to Haiti, Jamaica, Grand Cayman, and Mexico. These destinations were the most exotic we had ever been to. When we decided to go on our first Star Trek cruise, the destinations were Nassau, St. Thomas, St. Martin. The second cruise went to Cabo, Mazatlán, and Puerto Vallara. These destinations added exoticness and adventure to a vacation that was already a thrill to be on with the crew that was going to be on each. The Star Trek cruises sail on Royal Caribbean cruise line. Here is the link to the website for Star Trek the Cruise if you’re interested: Star Trek: The Cruise 2026 – Star Trek: The Cruise 2026. Don’t worry that it is for the current sailing, the website is updated after every cruise for the next year. The price of the cruise can range from two thousand seven hundred dollars to thirteen thousand dollars, depending on the cabin you reserve. To bring the value of the cruise to light, besides getting to travel to three different ports, without having to change hotels, you also have your meals included onboard. The producers of the crew give you swag every night of the cruise and you have unprecedented access to the different casts of the shows. It is also worth noting that it is very easy to meet new friends while on the cruise. Since there is already a common thread that binds the guest together, it is easy to strike up conversations and develop friendships over the course of the cruise.

The Star Trek cruises featured several of the actors from the different series that made the cruise even more enjoyable. It was like a floating Star Trek convention that was both huge and intimate at the same time. The ship is decorated from stem to stern in Star Trek style decor. The elevators have LCARS panels that are put on the glass. The normal venues onboard the ship were renamed, such as the casino being renamed in honor of Quark. On the second cruise, there was a small portion of the original series command area of the bridge set up complete with Kirk’s chair. The huge part of it was that there were so many of the actors proportionate to the number of guests on the cruise. The intimate part was that there was only just over three thousand guests onboard and that since you were on a ship, there was a huge chance that you would get to see one of the actors during the routine day to day interactions onboard the ship and not just during one of the events or shows that the actors put on.

Every cruise has one of the captains from the series or films. Our first cruise it was George Takei and on the second cruise it was William Shatner. Then EPC, the company that produces the cruises, gathers as many cast members as possible from one of the series that has an anniversary or something special. For example, on our second cruise, they had gotten a huge number of cast members from DS Nine. There are also several members of the cast that are regulars on these cruises. John De Lancie, Chase Masterson, Denise Crosby, Max Grodénchik, Nana Visitor, Garrett Wang and Robert Picardo are but a few of the regulars on the cruises. On the first cruise, Walter Koenig was there alongside George made that cruise special due to the age of both extraordinary actors.

There is a send off party on the pool deck just as the ship starts to leave port. At this party, the actors on the crew are introduced to the guests and talk about the cruise ahead. After that there is some down time for most of the crew members but there are some activities right off the bat where several of the cast members put on different meets and greets as well as shows for the guests. The first night also features a major show in the main theater that is run twice to get everyone that wants to see it a chance and the one that you went to was dependent on your stateroom card that was color coded to the dinner option that you chose when you booked your cruise, either a six pm or eight pm dinner. Obviously, if you had chosen the eight pm dining time, you went to the six pm showing and eight for the later show. The days were also filled with the usual photo ops, autograph sessions, and panels for the guests to enjoy. Each one feeling more intimate than at a normal convention due to the limited number of guests on the cruise.

Then there were exclusive shore excursions that you could go on that were hosted by one of the crew members. For example, Marina Sirtis hosted a wine tasting at one of the ports on the second cruise that we went on, as did Terry Farrell. There was also an opportunity that you might just end up meeting one of the crew members out and about. We heard several stories that crew members would just end up hanging with some of the guests for a little bit. This was also unique to the type of convention this was because the crew members often had their family members onboard as well. Max brought his wife and children, and George brought his husband Brad and the guest would get to interact with the family as well. Brad is just a sweetheart and funny man in his own right, just saying.

One of the highlights of the cruise is an original play that John De Lancie writes for the cruise. He gets several members of the crew to fill the parts, though he leaves a certain amount for characters for guests, who then get to work with Jon and the other crew members to put on this play on one of the nights. Another is a comedy show that Garrett puts on. When you picture Ensign Kim, you don’t think of a stand-up comedian. But Garrett is just that and has a bright and fun personality to him that really shows when he is on stage. And he does imitations as well. Other shows include game shows on the style of Hollywood Squares, and the contestants were guests that were selected randomly from the audience. George Takei was on the game show on the first cruise we went on and the contestant that selected him mispronounced his name and he proceeded to educate the contestant on the proper way to pronounce his name and why it was important to pronounce his name correctly, due to one way being his name and the other way being the way to say expensive in Japanese and that George would show them how
expensive he could be.

There are also charity events that also happen on the cruise. We went to a special breakfast with Chase Masterson that supported her charity Be Kind. It was limited in size so that it was an intimate and personable time plus you got a special photo opportunity with Chase plus she mingled with the guest that came and made it very enjoyable for everyone. The price was rather expensive, but with the cause that the charity supports and the interaction with Chase, the price was worth it. Other events took place for other equally worthy causes during the cruises and helped bring a sense that not only were you enjoying the time with these wonderful actors, but you were also helping others that needed help in one form or another.

On an interesting note, Nana Visitor is a tremendous dancer and an incredibly energetic person. She also is extremely funny. She did a smaller show called, “Ask Mama Nana” and guests could submit questions for her to answer on anything and then right in the middle of answering questions, usually when you least expected it, she would get up and start dancing just to keep the energy up. She could almost literally be called energy trapped in human form because she had to be moving and doing something all the time. She also said that her kids got to see Major Kira in their lives more than they cared to, usually when they had misbehaved.

There was often make up demonstrations, scientific discussions and production type panels from the scientific advisers, show production members and make up artist that had worked on the show and had been invited to come on the cruise so that you could learn about what went on behind the scenes with the show and where the scientific theories and premises for the show came from and why it made sense as well as how much time and effort it took to get the aliens that we knew and loved brought to life. On one of the cruises, the makeup artist showed how much makeup and prosthetics it took to make Max become Rom. On the other cruise, the makeup artists brought Gowron to life for Robert O’Reilly and turn Max into another Klingon as well.

There are also several theme nights while onboard the ship. One that is held every year is the Captains Gala. This is the theme night where you get to break out your formal attire or your dress uniform and go and party with the guests and crew. Another annual theme night is Q’s costume Party. This one also you to play Halloween at seas. Then they have a holodeck night that is themed differently each year. 2026’s cruise is going to be 1966 themed. One of the ones that we were on was the roaring twenties. Then they usually have one centered around Risa and then a random voted on by the guests themed night. These are held each night of the cruise and allow you to get your cosplay on.

While onboard the cruise, you can book for next year’s cruise for a discount, ranging anywhere from two hundred dollars off for the cheapest cabin to a couple of thousand off for the Royal suite. However, you can also get the past guest discount if you have ever been on a EPC cruise and it doesn’t have to have been past Star Trek the Cruise that you went on. It could have been the eighties cruise, the seventies cruise or the comic con cruise. All of these cruises would qualify you for the past cruisers’ discount. Also ECP offered an additional discount if you paid for your next cruise in full while you were booking it. The price is still on the steep side but not as much as a first time attendee and with all the perks and swag and considering that for the most part it is all inclusive and you aren’t just at one place and never have to change hotels, this makes it a good value

We would be remiss if we didn’t mention some general cruising tips as well here.

  1. The first tip would be that if you are even suspicious that you are prone to getting seasick, check with your doctor and get some medication to help because it is worth going on a cruise.
  2. Go on a regular cruise first. The reason behind this tip is that the themed cruises are so fun and have so much that is different than a regular cruise that it would ruin your experience on a regular cruise.
  3. Bring a piece of luggage for souvenirs, you’re going to see things that you want in every port, which will be extremely hard to get anywhere else and would cost more buying over the internet and you will run out of room quickly. And this is double on a themed cruise since you get swag each night.
  4. Take time to explore the ship right away. This will help you navigate it more easily during the cruise.
  5. Plan to arrive at the embarkation/debarkation port at least a day before you are scheduled to set sail. This is to account for travel delays and allows you to relax a bit before you get onboard the ship. We tend to get there a few days early and do something in the city to extend the vacation.
  6. Make sure you take shore excursions, but it is best to book them directly from the cruise line. You can usually book them in the port but if you book them from the cruise line, then they guarantee that the ship will not leave you behind if there is a delay. There is no such guarantee if you book it from the vendor of the shore excursion when you get to port. Also, there are usually advance booking sales offered before you sail that the cruise line offers.
  7. Royal Caribbean has a shore excursion if you are sailing to and from Orlando that not only takes you to NASA’s Cape Canaveral but also is a shuttle to the airport after. You have to have a later flight, after 5 pm Orlando time, but it gives you a fun tour and you don’t have to worry about your transportation from the port to the airport.
  8. Take chances to make friends. Cruising is different from all other vacations for several reasons already but because of the limited amount of space available and the relatively small amount of people, it is easier to make friends and for the most part, you already have something that binds you together and that is your on the same vacation and in the case of a themed cruise the love of what the theme is also binds you on another level.
  9. This tip is specifically for the cruises that offer photo opportunities and autographs, such as Star Trek the Cruise. Make sure that you print out the tickets for the ops because the internet is spotty at best and if you can’t bring up the ticket you will miss your opportunity.

Review of Star Trek Adventures 2nd Edition

Note: This article originally appeared on the private blog of Admiral Carl Stark on September 8th for Star Trek Day. He graciously allowed us to re-post this here.

The hardbound Star Trek Adventures 2nd Edition Core Rulebook in packaging.

I can’t think of a better way to celebrate Star Trek Day than reviewing the latest Star Trek Adventures 2nd Edition Core Rulebook that I just received. My daughter bought it as a gift for both Father’s Day (when she ordered it) and for my birthday (when she hoped it would arrive, which was a few weeks late). While I did have the PDF the moment the book was first released at GenCon, I only looked through it briefly in prepping for the 2nd edition game that I was going to run at SaltCON End-of-Summer. As I mentioned before, when I do a deep dive into RPG rules, I really prefer the dead-tree version of the book over the PDF.

Due to finances, my daughter ordered the standard edition of the STA2e core rulebook. There were three special editions that were also released with bookmark ribbons and special uniform colors. I don’t know how many other differences the special editions have.

For the standard edition, there are 377 color pages inside. Both the front inside cover and the back inside cover contain information for the game. A galactic map on the front and several timelines on the back. The ISBN number (for those of you looking for the dead-tree version) is 978-1-80281-223-7 with an internal product code of MUH0142401 (I just notice that it says “Phase II Core Rulebook Standard Edition” next to the ISBN number. Star Trek Phase II was the original name of the revived TV series that was planned for the late 70’s that got turned into Star Trek: The Motion Picture after the success of Star Wars.) The 2d20 system designer is Nathan Dowell with the Project Manager being Jim Johnson. There are a lot of names next to the writers and artists credits as it takes a lot of people to put a book like this together. I hope they know their efforts are appreciated. There is one thing missing from my book that I noticed while I was using it this past week. The Klingon core book and a few others had ribbon bookmarks that made it easy to use. This standard edition did not have one and I could have used it.

There is a forward, ten chapters broken up into three sections, a character sheet (personnel file), starship character sheet (starship registry entry), a personal log and an index. An interesting tidbit is that the three sections mentioned above have color coded text in the footer with blue (for background information), red (for character creation, the RPG system explanation and social/persona/starship conflicts) and gold (for the game master).

The three blue chapters are a Star Trek primer (in universe, not real-world), information on Starfleet and details/dangers about space (this is a space exploration game). This consisted of about eighty pages and I took two evenings to sit down after work and dive through the bulk of this. If you know Star Trek, most of this will be pretty cut and dry. With my Melllvar level of knowledge there was one item that made me raise an eyebrow when page 25 noted that “the Romulans taught the Vulcans how controlling emotions might lead to a more fulfilling existence.” on Ni’Var. I don’t recall that from the Star Trek Discovery episode Unification III, but I didn’t have time to dig in deeper on this. I enjoyed the section about the Nyberrite Alliance and the various side nuggets that were pieces of a story about a subspace transmission. As I was reading through this section, I remember getting to the topic of lifecycle about stars and I wondered why I was learning about this instead of the actual rules themselves, so I skipped a few pages ahead. When I was running STA2e at the last SaltCON, I had one player who didn’t have a lot of knowledge of the show, but he knew enough to play the game. As the GM, I felt confident enough to drop tidbits to the players of in-universe knowledge that their characters would know and the players took it from there. As a GM, I’d recommend reading these sections, but you don’t have to memorize them. Most players will have a common knowledge of wormholes, warp drive, Klingons and Starfleet to get the gist of the game. Those that don’t can easily be coached by the GM and other players. Who knows, perhaps it would interest them into watching more of the show to help them with future game sessions. I will say I liked how it was organized (a massive improvement from the 1st edition, I went back and re-looked at it while reading the 2nd edition book and I started having bad flashbacks). I also appreciated how the different eras had suggestions like “Run this era if the group would like…” since the GM would know their players better than the writers would.

Page 85 is where the red section starts and we get into the meat and potatoes of the Star Trek Adventures 2nd edition system. These chapters consist of Reporting for Duty (character creation) which includes a lifepath summary on page 98. Your Home Among the Stars (starship creation), Technology and Weapons (equipment). Operations (game mechanics) and Conflicts (which covers social, combat and starship combat). As someone who loves Star Trek quotes (and uses them for the values in past STA characters) I did notice that the sample values on page 96 were pulled from various Star Trek episodes. This is where GMs and players are going to live when opening this book. Like the first three chapters, the presentation and organization has been vastly improved. A good example is the Attempting a Task step-by-step guide (with pages numbers for more details) on page 257. I’ve also posted another photo of a guide for starship creation below. Two really good changes from 1st edition is the addition of a Species Ability (freeing up one of the ability slots during character creation) and the addition of Pastimes. I think this took a strength from the FASA Star Trek RPG. In that game there was a skill called “Trivia” where the player could place skill points in something trivial that made the character unique. I recall one player selecting “Kurosawa Films”. While it may never come up in a gaming session, it did make the character unique. It also challenged me as a GM to try to include something that the skill could be used in. Another new item added to 2nd edition is that the character creation gives more options than just Starfleet. Now your character can be a civilian scientist, a diplomat, or even part of another space navy for the Klingons, Romulans or other races.

A very good example of a process that I hope other publishers will follow.

On page 315 we enter the gold section for the game master. Chapter 9 itself is called “Gamemastering” and talks about managing the rules and extended tasks and challenges. There is a narrative flowchart on page 316. Chapter 10 has an introductory adventure called “The Gorgon’s Gaze” and the last chapter gives various stats for NPCs, creatures and starships that the GM may find useful.

I didn’t really cover all of the rules in this blog post, but I will say that one rule change that I did like was the dropping of the challenge dice. When I ran the 2nd edition quickstart a few times, when there was a rare combat encounter, we didn’t even miss the challenge dice.

Another item that caught my attention. The description box for “Enlisting in Other Organizations” on page 13 was the exact same description box with the same title on page 42. I was wondering if this was intentional or a mistake?

Conclusion:

When I got the book, my daughter with the art degree immediately opened up the plastic and started looking at the art credits (she wants to work on something like this). She LOVED the fact that the artist name was next to every illustration (she was hunting for the art by Steve Stark for some reason). When she finished her flip-through I handed the book to my geek wife (and Captain of a local Star Trek fan club) who flipped to page 266 and 267 which contains the Treknobable and Medical-Babble and was immediately impressed.

As for myself, I wish I could have had the book a few days earlier as several attendees at SaltCON came up to me to ask about STA2e. I wished that I could have pulled the book out then to show them some of the kewl items contained within. I loved seeing the references to FASA and the other past Star Trek RPG publishers. But as I was reading the book throughout the week in preparation for this review, I suddenly had a good flashback. In my early D&D days, I never went anywhere without one of my game books. I wanted to study it, I wanted to understand it, I wanted to prepare, I wanted to write my own homebrews for the game. I realized that when I packed the STA2e core rulebook to take to work, to take to the park to read while my youngest roller-skated, etc. I noticed that I was keeping the book near me, like those older D&D books, because I wanted to absorb this system for use. I wasn’t really doing that with the first edition game, but I was now. I’m glad that my daughter got this for me as a gift. After the very-successful one-shot at SaltCON, I may have to start a campaign for my local Star Trek fan club. Thank you to Jim and all of the people who poured a lot of time into putting this book together. I think that you guys succeed in putting together a Star Trek episode simulator RPG. I think this will give fans a chance to “play” their own episodes, and perhaps make a few new Star Trek fans as well.

Trekkies 25th Anniversary Edition review

Leave a comment

Twenty-Five years ago a documentary about Star Trek fans was produced and released in theaters called Trekkies. It was narrated by Denise Crosby and focused on various Star Trek fans while interviewing various actors from the (then) franchises that were airing. Recently Shout Factory released a 25th Anniversary Blu-Ray to the wild that included not only the movie but a special interview with producer Denise Crosby and directory Roger Nygard called “A Trek Back”. I picked up this disk and invited my college aged kid to sit down and watch it with me since she had never seen it before.

Back when this movie was released in the theaters, I was invited with other members of my Star Trek fan club to attend a sneak-peak screening prior to the opening night. Because they knew we were die-hard fans, the organizer had set up some hard trivia questions. I recall that one of them was “What Star Trek character was referenced in the 1980’s song 99 Red Balloons by Nena?” It had been a while since I had seen the movie so it was an excellent re-visit. I could re-call some of the stories about some of the various fans that were interviewed and what happened to them after Trekkies had been released. Gabriel Koerner was able to move into a career in movies and television working on special effects. I had to explain to my kid why the Star Trek juror, Barbara Adams, was a big thing in the 90’s during the Whitewater Trial. Specifically how the media was trying to latch onto anything during a boring trial (which was nothing like Law and Order) It also reminded me of when I entered a costume contest at CONduit (a Salt Lake fan-run convention) in a Star Trek uniform with a sign on my back stating “Avoiding jury duty”. Yes that got a lot of laughs. My daughter looked up the Star Trek dentist in Orlando and discovered that something like that was still going on. The name may have changed (which is how she had heard about it). Another reminder that was kind of sad for me was seeing the various dealers room tables during the 90’s. Back then, that is where you got your latest blueprints or resource books. (yelling at cloud moment) Most dealers rooms have been very dull. Comic Conventions seem to be the “State Fair” setup and smaller fan-run conventions are falling by the wayside. The dealers room use to be a huge draw for me at conventions, now I hope to find something. But seeing the Trek clubs in action and talking about how Star Trek fans help with charity brought a smile to my face. This is something that is continuing to this day as we try to move our world into the 24th Century.

When the movie was over I had a great time remembering this movie. I asked my college aged art student what she thought. She loved it except for some of the semi-erotic art put out by various fans. Seeing what fandom was like before she was born was an interesting experience.

After watching the movie I played the original trailer (I’m very happy when companies include this in their media) and “A Trek Back”. The special was recently filmed with Crosby and Nygard and had some very interesting tidbits including a response from JJ Abrams. I was hoping there would have been another special or two (this is blu-ray after all) but that was it. Hopefully we will get more specials if Shout Factory releases a blu-ray of Trekkies 2.

For the price on Amazon, Trekkies was a good pick up for the money. It was good to add this to my collection (my previous ownership was the VHS tape I had recently found in the garage). And yes, I want Trekkies 2 on blu-ray to complete my collection.

Captain Roger Taylor continues to send in a wave of wonderful articles taking various elements of Star Trek and adapting them for the Star Trek Adventures role playing game.

For this entry, we have the Cochrane Scout Spaceframe that was (barely) seen in two Star Trek: The Animated Series episodes. Once Upon a Planet and Mudd’s Passion. Details about this ship on screen can be found at Ex Astris Scientia and the Guide to Animated Star Trek (see question 29). Captain Taylor used information from the USS Enterprise Officer’s Manual by Geoffrey Mandel and Doug Drexler.

As a bonus, Captain Taylor also included a “hero” ship the Molly B.

Kelly Kookbook Entry: Foul Madammas

Leave a comment

One of the goals of the Seventh Fleet is to celebrate the creativity of our members. In the late 90’s (then) Lt. Commander Ruth Burns assembled recipes from different sources to put together the Kelly Kookbook. Not only did members of the USS Kelly and the Seventh Fleet help out, but several actors and production personnel from Star Trek also sent in submissions. While our dear friend Ruth is gone, her book of Star Trek recipes is still with us for us to explore. We will post a submission from the book on a semi-regular basis. With February 8th being the birthday of Ethan Phillips, the actor who portrayed Neelix on Star Trek: Voyager, we thought we would post one of his submissions to the book. Enjoy.

Hmm… I wonder where all the bananas went?
