<hr />
<div>In October 2009, [[Jonathan Coulton]] mentioned the "hypothetical" possibility of hosting a cruise involving entertainment by himself and his "circle of famous entertainment powerhouse friends." After evaluating fan interest in such a venture [http://www.jonathancoulton.com/2009/10/23/hypothetical-question/ via the blog], the cruise was [http://www.jonathancoulton.com/2010/07/14/joco-cruise-crazy-2/ announced] as a real event in July 2010. In a nod to JoCo's song [[Tom Cruise Crazy]], the event was dubbed "JoCo Cruise Crazy".<br />
<br />
The inaugural '''JoCo Cruise Crazy''' sailed the Caribbean in January 2011, with approximately 375 attendees (often referred to as 'Sea Monkeys'.) It was deemed such a success by performers and fans alike that the organizers quickly began planning a sequel. [[JoCo Cruise Crazy/JoCo Cruise Crazy 2|JoCo Cruise Crazy 2]] was announced in April 2011, and sailed February 19-26, 2012. [[JoCo Cruise Crazy/JoCo Cruise Crazy 3|JoCo Cruise Crazy 3]] was announced before the ship returned to port, and pre registration made available to those onboard.<br />

After evaluating fan interest in such a venture [http://www.jonathancoulton.com/2009/10/23/hypothetical-question/ via the blog], the cruise was [http://www.jonathancoulton.com/2010/07/14/joco-cruise-crazy-2/ announced] as a real event in July 2010. In a nod to JoCo's song [[Tom Cruise Crazy]], the event was dubbed "JoCo Cruise Crazy".<br />
<br />
The inaugural '''JoCo Cruise Crazy''' sailed the Caribbean in January 2011, with approximately 375 attendees (often referred to as 'Sea Monkeys'.) It was deemed such a success by performers and fans alike that the organizers quickly began planning a sequel. [[JoCo Cruise Crazy 2]] was announced in April 2011, and sailed February 19-26, 2012. [[Joco Cruise Crazy 3]] was announced before the ship returned to port, and pre registration made available to those onboard.<br />
<br />
==Itinerary==<br />
The first JoCo Cruise Crazy was a six-day Western Caribbean cruise sailing from Fort Lauderdale, Florida, aboard [http://www.hollandamerica.com/main/Main.action Holland America]'s ship the [http://www.hollandamerica.com/cruise-vacation-onboard/Eurodam ms Eurodam].<br />

==Contests and Prizes==<br />
An expensive and untested venture like a cruise had a very real possibility of losing money for the organizers, so a number of contests were announced to encourage fan interest and excitement.<br />
<br />
===First 250 Club===<br />
The first 250 passengers who signed up for the cruise were to be granted priority seating at the nightly concerts and admission to a cocktail reception with the performers on the opening night. These privileges were likely meant to encourage fans to sign up quickly and ensure the cruise had enough enrollment to be profitable.<br />
<br />
In practice, there were few enough fans beyond the initial 250 that the priority seating was abandoned, and a secondary reception was scheduled for anyone without an invite to the Crow's Nest.<br />
<br />
===Monarch of the Seas===<br />
Another benefit to the 250 Club was being entered into a draw to become the Monarch of the Seas. This title entailed special seating at every concert, a royal regalia (the contents of which were undetermined prior to the cruise), and official declaration that the rest of the attendees had to treat the Monarch as royalty whenever they wore the official regalia.<br />
<br />
The winner of this draw was Aileen, who later wrote a [http://jococruisecrazy-fan.blogspot.com/2011/02/in-which-i-take-red-pill-and-see-how.html blog post] about the experience.<br />
<br />
Prior to the cruise, a poll on the official website was used to determine how the Monarch should address her "subjects". The winning term was '''Sea Monkeys''', which has since the cruise become the default term to refer to anyone who went on JoCo Cruise Crazy.<br />
<br />
===Free Cruise Contest===<br />
A grand prize of a free cruise for two was awarded by a random draw. Entry required filling out a form on the official cruise website.<br />
<br />
===Video Contest===<br />
==Crowd-Sourced Events==<br />
From the start JoCo Cruise Crazy was about trying to be as much fun as possible for everyone involved. To that end fan engagement in the organization process was high--Paul and Storm and later David Rees encouraged discussion in the forums and actively solicited ideas for events<br />
<br />
===Paul F. Tompkins Memorial Moustache Formal===<br />
Unlike many cruises, this sailing of the MS Eurodam did not include a "formal night". A few people on the forums were discontent with this state of affairs, and began making plans to hold their own unofficial formal. This event was added to the official schedule and dubbed the '''Paul F. Tompkins Moustache Formal''', referencing Tompkins' signature moustache. Although Tompkins had to bow out of the cruise, his name stayed on the event. In keeping with jokes that Tompkins was now "dead to us", the night was renamed his "Memorial" Moustache Formal.<br />
<br />
In order to not exclude those without a penchant for dressing up, formal wear was declared optional, but moustaches required. Adhesive moustaches were supplied on entry to any who did not bring their own.<br />

==Contests and Prizes==<br />
An expensive and untested venture like a cruise had a very real possibility of losing money for the organizers, so a number of contests were announced to encourage fan interest and excitement.<br />
<br />
===First 250 Club===<br />
The first 250 passengers who signed up for the cruise were to be granted priority seating at the nightly concerts and admission to a cocktail reception with the performers on the opening night. These privileges were likely meant to encourage fans to sign up quickly and ensure the cruise had enough enrollment to be profitable.<br />
<br />
In practice, there were few enough fans beyond the initial 250 that the priority seating was abandoned, and a secondary reception was scheduled for anyone without an invite to the Crow's Nest.<br />
<br />
===Monarch of the Seas===<br />
Another benefit to the 250 Club was being entered into a draw to become the Monarch of the Seas. This title entailed special seating at every concert, a royal regalia (the contents of which were undetermined prior to the cruise), and official declaration that the rest of the attendees had to treat the Monarch as royalty whenever they wore the official regalia.<br />
<br />
The winner of this draw was Aileen, who later wrote a [http://jococruisecrazy-fan.blogspot.com/2011/02/in-which-i-take-red-pill-and-see-how.html blog post] about the experience.<br />
<br />
Prior to the cruise, a poll on the official website was used to determine how the Monarch should address her "subjects". The winning term was '''Sea Monkeys''', which has since the cruise become the default term to refer to anyone who went on JoCo Cruise Crazy.<br />
<br />
===Free Cruise Contest===<br />
A grand prize of a free cruise for two was awarded by a random draw. Entry required filling out a form on the official cruise website.<br />
<br />
===Video Contest===<br />
==Crowd-Sourced Events==<br />
From the start JoCo Cruise Crazy was about trying to be as much fun as possible for everyone involved. To that end fan engagement in the organization process was high--Paul and Storm and later David Rees encouraged discussion in the forums and actively solicited ideas for events<br />
<br />
===Paul F. Tompkins Memorial Moustache Formal===<br />
Unlike many cruises, this sailing of the MS Eurodam did not include a "formal night". A few people on the forums were discontent with this state of affairs, and began making plans to hold their own unofficial formal. This event was added to the official schedule and dubbed the '''Paul F. Tompkins Moustache Formal''', referencing Tompkins' signature moustache. Although Tompkins had to bow out of the cruise, his name stayed on the event. In keeping with jokes that Tompkins was now "dead to us", the night was renamed his "Memorial" Moustache Formal.<br />
<br />
In order to not exclude those without a penchant for dressing up, formal wear was declared optional, but moustaches required. Adhesive moustaches were supplied on entry to any who did not bring their own.<br />

<hr />
<div>In October 2009, [[Jonathan Coulton]] mentioned the "hypothetical" possibility of hosting a cruise involving entertainment by himself and his "circle of famous entertainment powerhouse friends." After evaluating fan interest in such a venture [http://www.jonathancoulton.com/2009/10/23/hypothetical-question/ via the blog], the cruise was [http://www.jonathancoulton.com/2010/07/14/joco-cruise-crazy-2/ announced] as a real event in July 2010. In a nod to JoCo's song [[Tom Cruise Crazy]], the event was dubbed "JoCo Cruise Crazy".<br />
<br />
The inaugural '''JoCo Cruise Crazy''' sailed the Caribbean in January 2011, with approximately 375 attendees (often referred to as 'Sea Monkeys'.) It was deemed such a success by performers and fans alike that the organizers quickly began planning a sequel. [[JoCo Cruise Crazy 2]] was announced in April 2011, and sailed February 19-26, 2012. [[Joco Cruise Crazy 3]] was announced before the ship returned to port, and pre registration made available to those onboard.<br />
<br />
==Itinerary==<br />
The first JoCo Cruise Crazy was a six-day Western Caribbean cruise sailing from Fort Lauderdale, Florida, aboard [http://www.hollandamerica.com/main/Main.action Holland America]'s ship the [http://www.hollandamerica.com/cruise-vacation-onboard/Eurodam ms Eurodam].<br />

==Contests and Prizes==<br />
An expensive and untested venture like a cruise had a very real possibility of losing money for the organizers, so a number of contests were announced to encourage fan interest and excitement.<br />
<br />
===First 250 Club===<br />
The first 250 passengers who signed up for the cruise were to be granted priority seating at the nightly concerts and admission to a cocktail reception with the performers on the opening night. These privileges were likely meant to encourage fans to sign up quickly and ensure the cruise had enough enrollment to be profitable.<br />
<br />
In practice, there were few enough fans beyond the initial 250 that the priority seating was abandoned, and a secondary reception was scheduled for anyone without an invite to the Crow's Nest.<br />
<br />
===Monarch of the Seas===<br />
Another benefit to the 250 Club was being entered into a draw to become the Monarch of the Seas. This title entailed special seating at every concert, a royal regalia (the contents of which were undetermined prior to the cruise), and official declaration that the rest of the attendees had to treat the Monarch as royalty whenever they wore the official regalia.<br />
<br />
The winner of this draw was Aileen, who later wrote a [http://jococruisecrazy-fan.blogspot.com/2011/02/in-which-i-take-red-pill-and-see-how.html blog post] about the experience.<br />
<br />
Prior to the cruise, a poll on the official website was used to determine how the Monarch should address her "subjects". The winning term was '''Sea Monkeys''', which has since the cruise become the default term to refer to anyone who went on JoCo Cruise Crazy.<br />
<br />
===Free Cruise Contest===<br />
A grand prize of a free cruise for two was awarded by a random draw. Entry required filling out a form on the official cruise website.<br />
<br />
===Video Contest===<br />
==Crowd-Sourced Events==<br />
From the start JoCo Cruise Crazy was about trying to be as much fun as possible for everyone involved. To that end fan engagement in the organization process was high--Paul and Storm and later David Rees encouraged discussion in the forums and actively solicited ideas for events<br />
<br />
===Paul F. Tompkins Memorial Moustache Formal===<br />
Unlike many cruises, this sailing of the MS Eurodam did not include a "formal night". A few people on the forums were discontent with this state of affairs, and began making plans to hold their own unofficial formal. This event was added to the official schedule and dubbed the '''Paul F. Tompkins Moustache Formal''', referencing Tompkins' signature moustache. Although Tompkins had to bow out of the cruise, his name stayed on the event. In keeping with jokes that Tompkins was now "dead to us", the night was renamed his "Memorial" Moustache Formal.<br />
<br />
In order to not exclude those without a penchant for dressing up, formal wear was declared optional, but moustaches required. Adhesive moustaches were supplied on entry to any who did not bring their own.<br />
