JOIN BARBIE AND FRIENDS ON A PARTY CRUISE

Happy Monday, fellow cruisers! Today the topic is -- are you ready? --  Barbie dolls. So, you may wonder, what do Barbie dolls have to do with cruising? Don't tell me you've never heard of Mattel's "Barbie Party Cruise." For Pam, who happens to be a collector of all things Barbie, it's the most fun you can have without actually being on a ship. It's described as "Barbie Party Cruise and play on this luxurious getaway! The water slide folds open and make a splash in the Poolcuzzi. Fold the slide over, and a disco ball comes out, plus music and lights for a dance party. Set up the rotating buffet with aquarium and luxurious suite for Barbie doll to relax in. Sounds include 2 disco songs with lights activation, 1 cruise ship horn, and 1 water-and-dolphin play. Folds up for on-the-go and easy storage." Sounds like all the fun of a real cruise ship, right at your fingertips! Of course there's also this disclaimer: "Barbie doll not included." I think Pam can take care of that one, right Pam? -- Gerry
