Let Me Tell You What Howard Just Did

Dear Friend,

Howard – yes, he's for real. And that's his real name (the last name – that I'm not sharing).

But what I will share is the news that Howard (finally!) did what you probably want to do – he just booked a cabin on the National Review 2015 Alaska Summer Cruise.

It's little more than a month away, but the fact is, there is still time to book, and still cabins to be had.

So if you really want to come (and admit it: you do!) but these past 14 months, just like Howard, you've hemmed and hawed, dillied and dallied, thumb-twiddled and procrastinated, and whatever else you could to put off reserving your affordable luxury cabin for a terrific once-in-a-lifetime experience, because . . . because that's just the way you are . . . well, worry not. You can still do it.

No, not procrastinate! Book that stateroom! Just like Howard!

Do it: right here, right now, at www.nrcruise.com.

Stop with the excuses. Stop being a martyr – there, I said it. The fact is: You deserve this trip. So take it.

When you do, it will be in the company of over 400 fellow conservatives, including dozens of top writers and analysts, including

Act now to reserve your stateroom. Alaska cruises are mega-popular because of the region's raw beauty. For Mother Nature at her finest, you cannot beat the stunning waterways hugging the 49th State, or the glaciers and other wonders that adorn it from the Arctic to the Gulf.

And for a family vacation destination, how can you compete with an Alaska voyage, coming smack dab in the middle of the summer?

You can't. So don't beat them, join them (with your family) -- on the National Review 2015 Alaska Summer Cruise.

If you've wanted to go on an NR cruise, but haven't, consider this: The "typical" NR cruise "alumnus" has been on an average of four of our seafaring trips! They keep coming back again and again for an obvious reason: an NR cruise is sure to be a great time. It's time you discovered this for yourself.

An NR cruise is your unique chance to meet and intimately discuss politics and policy with some of the true giants of conservative and political affairs. Here are all the NR exclusives we offer as part of our winning program to ensure you a phenomenal week:

eight panel sessions on current events (each nearly 2.5 hours, typically kicked off by a great one-on-one interview of a special guest speaker)
up to five additional "sidebar" events and presentations
three cocktail receptions (convivial affairs featuring great food and libations),
two post-dinner "Night Owls,"
one post-dinner poolside "smoker" (with world-class H. Upmann cigars and complimentary cognac!), plus intimate dining with speakers and editors on two nights.

So, again, reserve your stateroom up at www.nrcruise.com, where you can also find complete information about the trip. Questions: email me at jfowler@nationalreview.com. I am happy to do what I can to help you make July 18-25 the best week of your life. And you can call the good folks (Joanne, Cathy, Karen, Mila) at The Cruise and Vacation Authority (800-707-1634, from 9AM to 5PM Eastern time). They'll be extra happy to help. You can also email them at groups@the-cruise-authority.com.

See you in July (let's us get a drink with Howard– it'll be on me!)!

Best,
