DNR Cruise

Derek and Romaine are more than radio hosts and empire-builders -- they also coordinate and run DNR Cruises multiple times per year! http://www.dnrtravel.com

Generally, the DNR Cruises are 7-day itineraries. DNR Cruises are generally on Norwegian Cruise Line ships, but a couple have been on Princess.

The first few cruises were simply called "The DNR Cruise" or "The Listener Cruise," then they began to be named/nicknamed -- i.e. the second Mexican cruise was "Hot Mex," a February/Valentine's-Week cruise was "The Love Cruise," and the first European/Mediterranean cruise was "Better Off Med."

Listeners/Bitches are the majority of travelers in every Cruise group, of course, but listeners are always welcome to bring a Suppressive Person along! Most of the SPs/spouses/non-listener friends have ended up enjoying the Cruise groups a lot even though they may have been nervous going into it.

While on board, the DNR group ALWAYS has a big presence. Guests around the ship often ask us who we are, where did we get the group lanyards made, how did we know to bring 'glow' attire, what the hell is "DNR," and if they can hang out with us because WE are always having so much fun!

Some of the DNR-group activities planned on each cruise include group meetups, group dinner reservations on select nights, shore excursions, and a "Listener Roundtable" panel of listeners that is recorded onboard and later broadcast on the show! Sometimes there is also a final-night pajama party where DJ Turban makes an appearance.

Solo traveler? You're in good hands! Every cruise has a mixture of friend-groups, couples, and solo travelers! The "Studio Cabins" on NCL ships are VERY popular travel options for our group! If a ship doesn't have Studio Cabins, solo travelers have easily found cabin-mates connecting with other listeners via Facebook or calling into the show.Check out this "Cruise Beginnings" video below to learn about how the DNR Cruises began, and check out some moments and pictures from the first three DNR Cruises!

All of the Listener Roundtable panels are on the DNR website for your listening enjoyment. Here is a panel from one of the first DNR Cruises in 2015: https://www.derekandromaine.com/dnr-podcast-ep-7-dnr-cruise-listener-round-table
