We're booked too--starting out as a good group. Start thinking of a name--maybe something like Camel--Cruising Along in Middle Eastern Lands.

I LOVE CAMEL for this cruise, Peggy. As soon as Ngaire tells us we have enough to name it, we should! Love it when the name sort of says what it is.

I like Camel, but I thought the picture of the Shiek is so neat, I've been trying to play around with SHIEK.
Silversea Hijinks Including Egypt with Keene
Though I know Ngaire isn't crazy about having her name in the acronyms.
Edited to say:
(I just noticed that someone already used Shiek sorry. I don't know protocol, so Karen feel free to delete.)

We're also holding space.
Keep in mind the Queen of De Nile is leaving for Egypt in three weeks. Questions? Let me know ahead of time & I'll try to get the answers for you.

We'll have some Poopers, some ROARers, & the Queen of de Nile. and the POOPster manquee! and plenty of pooch sea days - beware, card players, we have just learned a new game, with an off-color name "s..thead", which we will rename before we meet up. Another easy to learn game, featuring a number of wild cards, with a flexible amount of players. last one to get rid of their cards is the "s..thead".

Let's get to naming, as suggested by Fred. So far we have the following nominations:
CAMEL - Cruising Along in Middle Eastern Lands(Peggy)
SHEIK - Silver Holiday Entices Idolatry Karma (Suzie)
Any more ideas out there?

Much as it would be pleasant to see that graphic of the sheik all the time, I like CAMEL. It describes the cruise both in the acronym and in the words from which the acronyn is formed. Peggy has a good idea to use CAMEL as the acronym and then name the mascot "Sheik".

Just to add more potential names to the pot, how about DESERT: Doing Everything: Sailing, Entertainment, Restaurants, Tours. Maybe someone could come up with a better description for this acronym????

Sheik Yerbouti!!!! :D :app:

Here's another

Although I still like the CAMEL acronym combined with the mascot, Sheik Yerbouti, here is slight modification of Suzie's SHEIK:
Silversea Holiday Engendering Interesting Karma
Even if CAMEL is chosen, we must find a way to keep that great graphic of the sheik around (even though those eyes are beginning to look at bit like the eyes of the spooky kids in "Village of the Damned").

Suzanne, you are really good! This looks like a great trip with wonderful companions. Doesn't look like we can fit it into our ever expanding travel schedule so I'll be here with Joanna, holding down the fort and turning green.
