1 TO THE CARIBBEAN MARCH THE MARTINS TARANDA GREENE THE BALL BROTHERS STAN WHITMIRE SET SAIL FOR INCREDIBLE MUSIC AND HYSTERICAL MOMENTS IN THE WORLD S MOST RENOWNED TROPICAL PARADISE!

2 DEAR FRIENDS, I want to invite you to join me for the very first CRUISE I get to host all by myself! If you love a sunny Caribbean vacation, powerful music, delicious food, inspiring moments, and ME, then Mark Lowry s Spring Fling Cruise is for you! This is going to be the most unforgettable adventure of our lives! Joining me for this week of celebration are some of my favorite artists on the planet! I m bringing The Martins, known for their family harmony and heart-melting vocal blend; TaRanda Greene, whose powerhouse voice blows me away every time I hear her; The Ball Brothers, who will bring their energetic quartet harmonies; plus my favorite pianist in the world, Stan Whitmire! Also, I am bringing my pastor, Brett Jones! I am so excited to introduce him to you, because he will engage us in thought-provoking moments and messages about Jesus that I know will leave you hopeful and encouraged! Turquoise waters and gorgeous sunsets will surround us, not to mention miles and miles of sunny beaches and charming ports. Oh, and I am already planning some outrageously fun events like a Pajama Karaoke Night and The Not-So-Newlywed Game where some of our featured artists will be contestants! Our cruise ship for the week is the Royal Caribbean s Independence of the Seas and it is incredible. It s a destination within itself! This ship serves scrumptious food. (Seriously, if you know me at all, you know how much I love to eat!) The ship also offers some of my favorite themed restaurants onboard, like Johnny Rockets, Chops Grille Steakhouse and Giovanni s Table! They even have a Ben & Jerry s Ice Cream! If you feel like working off some of those calories, the ship also provides a wide array of fun activities like rock-climbing walls, an ice-skating rink, mini golf, four swimming pools and a surf simulator! Whenever you want to relax and pamper yourself, there are six whirlpools, the Vitality Day Spa, Broadway-style shows in the theatre, and so much more that I can t list it all here. We will set sail from sunny Fort Lauderdale, Florida, known for its convenience to flights and cruise ports; and we will sail for five glorious nights. Along the way, we ll visit Royal Caribbean s own beachfront property on the shores of Haiti, which offers ziplining, beach bungalows, cabanas and much more. Then we will sail to Jamaica to take in gorgeous waterfalls, beaches, water sports and local cuisine you re sure to love! Soooooo? Are you ready to vacation with ME? Call and book your cabin right now because the best cabins disappear first! See you there! Mark Lowry THE MARTINS TARANDA GREENE THE BALL BROTHERS STAN WHITMIRE
