We wish everyone a very happy Thanksgiving, and we hope the Thomas Turkey sees his shadow this year so we can have six more weeks of Halloween candy. That's how this works, right?

Anyway, some important stuff...

Wanna Be a Helper Monkey?

JoCo Cruise is a big, big event. (Like, a whole cruise ship's worth.) And one of the reasons it can properly function at all is the army of attendees who donate time on board to help monitor events, man the Info Desk, sell artist merch at shows, and a ton of other tasks. We call these stalwart volunteers our Helper Monkeys. And you can be one too!

If you're interested in becoming a Helper Monkey for JCC2019, please look over the descriptions of our various Helper Monkey Species to get an idea of the different ways you can help out this year. If you'd like to join the 2019 Helper Monkey ranks, please fill out our handy Helper Monkey Submission Form . (The form will prompt you to log into your JCC User Account if necessary.)

Please note: we do not use first-time Sea Monkeys as Helper Monkeys. We appreciate first-timers' willingness to help out, but it's important to us that people on their first JoCo Cruise spend that time enjoying and getting familiar with the event and the Sea Monkey community.

Shadow Cruise Event Submission Now Open!

For those of your new to the cruise (and for those who aren't but feel like reading the next paragraph)...every year, we set aside a ton of space and time in the schedule for the passengers (i.e., the Sea Monkeys, i.e. you folks) to organize and present their own events. We refer to this activity as the "Shadow Cruise." Video gaming sessions, meetups to show off tattoos, book clubs, Zumba classes, song circles and jam sessions, mini-concerts...you name it. If it's doable on the ship (and it adheres to our Code of Conduct), we welcome it! Last year, there were more hours of Shadow Cruise events than there were Official events! (And that's saying something!)

If you're interested in putting together a Shadow Cruise event, fill out our Shadow Cruise Event Request Form . (The form will prompt you to log into your JCC User Account if necessary.)

NOTE: unless specifically requested, Shadow Cruise events will never be scheduled during Main Concerts or while the ship is in any port of call.

Merch Store Black Friday Sale: 0% Off!

We're not actually offering any Black Friday discounts in our 2019 Online Merch Store , but we didn't want to be left out of the marketing trend.

We WILL note, however, that the store closes on December 15th. That means you only have a short time to grab your super-cool JCC2019 swag! After that, you will only be able to purchase cruise merch onboard, with the ship's store's sizable markup. SIZABLE MARKUP, GOSHDARN IT!!!

108 days!
