TBUG 2025 Cruise to Bahamas & Mexico

March 19 2025 update..if you are planning to go with us please buy your VIP passes soon.. we anticipate a sellout. We just did ship inspection and the onboard food and entertainment was fantastic. This is going to be an epic event!

Join us as we celebrate our 16th anniversary with a 6 day/5 night Cruise to The Bahamas and Mexico on Royal Caribbean Explorer of the Seas sailing from Port Canaveral on November 1st and returning on November 6th, 2025. Our ports of call will be Cozumel in Mexico and Perfect Day at Coco Cay in Bahamas.


We are leaving from the East Coast in order to sail on Explorer of the Seas. This ship has much larger conference rooms. This will simplify our meetings and allow us to have over 300 attendees.  We have a fantastic lineup of artists that will be performing and teaching (Dani Joy, Perry Stauffer, Amy Kucharik, Petey Mack, Greg Gent, Jay Nunes and The Tropical Sons). Please order your VIP Passes and companion passes (for non players) early as we anticipate a quick sell out.
