I am so excited to share details about the 2026 Fun in the Sun Craftin’ Cruise co-hosted by Melanie Hockin and Brenda (Nelson) Zorn!
My talented friend Brenda (Nelson) Zorn and I will be hosting a retreat at sea onboard the Royal Caribbean Navigator of the Seas for 7 incredible days of fun in the sun!
When and Where
We will depart the Los Angeles cruise terminal in San Pedro, California on July 31, 2026 and return August 7, 2026. This cruise travels down the California Baja Peninsula to Mexico, where we will visit the ports of Cabo San Lucas, Puerto Vallarta, and Mazatlan.
Fun in the Sun Craftin’ Event
While we are on board, you will be able to join us for a week of amazing creative fun! Brenda and I have so much planned, including about 6 classes, games, prizes, party time and more! The crafting space will be open 24/7, allowing you to craft when you choose and vacation as you would like, so your schedule is your own!
The event fee is $275 US and includes the following:
about 6 classes (cards, 3-D projects, memory keeping and more)
lots of fun new supplies to create your projects
project kits
project PDFs
a daily gift
treats
games
prizes
and a pre-cruise welcome package to kick it all off!
This fee is broken into two payments, a $75 deposit due at booking, and the balance of $200 due March 1, 2026. After submitting the registration form, Melanie or Brenda will send a payment request for your deposit (Paypal invoice or ET request). The Fun in the Sun Craftin’ Event is separate from any cruise payments.
How to Book
Everyone is welcome!! Stateroom booking will be completed through Eva Wallart at Ahoy Travel. To attend the event, bookings must be coordinated through Eva. And although you must book with Eva to attend the event, not everyone in your stateroom must attend the crafting event, so feel free to vacation with family, friends and anyone else you would like to join you!
We are getting lots of questions about cabin pricing. Pricing changes frequently, and Brenda and I are unable to provide accurate prices for cabins. If you have travel or booking related questions, please reach out to Eva Wallart.
To complete booking your trip, you will also register for the Fun in the Sun Craftin’ Event with Brenda and Melanie. We have a limited amount of space, so registration will be on a first come, first served bases.
Two deposits will be due to complete booking. One is required at the time of booking your stateroom ($500 for double occupancy, so $250/person). The balance of your stateroom is due by April 24, 2026. All stateroom payments will go through Eva. The second deposit is for the Fun in the Sun event, as outlined above.
Early Bird
If you live in the United States and complete registration by July 25th, you will receive an Early Bird gift as a thank you! To earn this, both your cruise deposit and event deposit must be made by July 25th. You will then get to choose a bundle of your choice from the 2026-2027 Annual Catalog (up to $50) to be included in your welcome package!
