Sandoo Posted February 17, 2011 #1 Share Posted February 17, 2011 Does anyone know whether Norwegian has "Walk For The Cure" like they do on Carnival ships (specifically on the Pearl)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jdvmd Posted February 17, 2011 #3 Share Posted February 17, 2011 Does anyone know whether Norwegian has "Walk For The Cure" like they do on Carnival ships (specifically on the Pearl)? I assume you are talking about the Susan B. Komen Walk/Race for a Cruise. If so, they have been on all of my sailings -- Pearl, Epic, Sun. Not sure about the Sky as that was only a three nighter.

Sandoo Posted February 27, 2011 Author #6 Share Posted February 27, 2011 I guess that it was the Susan G. Komen walk on the Carnival Freedom. My t-shirt says "Walk for the Cure". How do we sign up on the Pearl? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MagnoliaBlossom Posted February 27, 2011 #7 Share Posted February 27, 2011 In my 13 NCL cruises I have not seen an event like this. We did the walk for the cure on the CCL Freedom in the Mediterranean and it was a fabulously moving experience. Raised over $6,000. FYI: You sign up early in the cruise - $10 gets you a t-shirt and pink wrist band. On walk day, everyone was on the top deck all decked out (aargh aargh) in their t-shirts. John Heald was CD on that cruise and he was out talking with people and had a portable mike telling stories of people walking. People were hugging, walking arm in arm, some were crying. At the end a group photo was down of all the survivors (over 100) and done front were those currently undergoing chemo or radiation (about 20). I still tear up thinking about it. Oh, and BTW, they ran out of shirts and wristband - but those folks gave their money and walked anyway. The next year they had switched to a dance a thon which benefitted St. Jude's. It is my (maybe incorrect) understanding they they only do the St. Jude's benefit now. As a note, John told us he was afraid this would be a real downer, but he was very surprised, that even though there were lots of teary walkers, it was one of the things he received rave reviews about. I still have my pink bracelet and wear it with the best memories. I do wish NCL would do this, particularly on sailings with multiple sea days.

Sandoo Posted February 27, 2011 Author #8 Share Posted February 27, 2011 Truly sorry and disappointed that NCL doesn't have something like it. It was truly a wonderful experience to share with my daughter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
