We've been getting a great response from a lot of other tribes and forums. Some people aren't sure what to expect, so here are some pics from last year. Everyone is welcome and everything is optional. You don't have to be in costume or participate in the competition. Just come along and have a laugh and get your Saturday night started at our end of cruise party.
