'Twilight' fan cruise! With Alice and Emmett?

Twilight-cruise_l How deep is your love for Twilight: Deep enough to go on a week-long Alaskan cruise if the only stars you were promised — so far — are Ashley Greene (Alice Cullen) and Kellan Lutz (Emmett Cullen)? I'm sure the actors are lovely people, who will be in it to win it at the Q&A and autograph sessions and costume ball, but this star power would not be enough to make this the Alaskan cruise I'm going to take someday. Actually, I don't know that even Robert Pattinson sitting on the veranda of my ocean view suite with his guitar in one hand and a mango margarita for me in the other would get me on this ship — unless EW let me expense it. (Damn economy.) 

Who or what would it take to get you on board a fan convention? I fear a semi-lame Buffy the Vampire Slayer conference in 2003 has ruined my enthusiasm for the single-subject fan fete for eternity….

    … I… WTH?! A Twilight Cruise? My god they are milking everything they can out of this franchise. Whats next? A $1500 motorway cruise around Scotland in a blue ford Anglia, in time for the Harry Potter movie?

  • Heather

    JJ,
    LMAO. I’m a Twilight fan but that was pretty freaking funny dude.

  • Snarf

    Makes you wonder what they’re paying the cast – and how strapped for cash Lutz and Greene are don’t it?

  • crispy

    Cross your fingers and pray for icebergs!

    I’d go. I watch the movie more for the supporting characters, and I need a vacation. A week long Alaskan cruise. Sounds good to me.

    Well yeah I’d go, I mean, I’ve been on plenty of boats, with alot of stars,it wouldn’t hurt to go with them. lol

  • Lynn

    This is borderline sad/bizarre. And I’m not sure this is news. You’re writing about this cruise, and in the process saying that you wouldn’t go on it? What’s the point of that? I know you have Twilight quotas that must be filled, but good grief.
    Although I’d tool around Scotland in a flying Ford Anglia. :-)

    If my baby was grown and I had money (providing I had already donated to charities and my church) then sure I would go. They seem like nice people and it would be a fun time.

    LOL Lynn, if you’d actually do the HP Ford Anglia thing, then you’re really in no position to judge this, are you.
    personally, I think that shameless promotion like this (a CRUISE? really?) is kinda ridiculous. LOL.
    Butt, I really like Ashley. So, I have trouble criticizing her.

  • Julia

    Linda, I think the Ford Anglia mentions are a **joke**, unless you’re aware of flying cars that the rest of us aren’t privy to.
    This seems fun enough, but I don’t know what makes it “news.”

  • Tiffany

    I think it’s great they’re doing a Twilight cruise, but c’mon. Robert Pattinson should be the main attraction. He’s definitely at the top of my celebrity sex list. Check him out here: http://shackinguplife.com

  • annabelle

  • tommy reynolds

    i would love to go on the cruise. my daughter and i are die hard fans of twilight. alice makes the show for me. with out her the movie would not have done it for me. we plan on going on the cruise

  • Alice

    Wow…

  • Katie S.

    I am seriously thinking about taking this cruise, not only do you get spend time with the actors but you also get to spend time in Seattle and Forks before the cruise, which is the main reason I want to go. You get to see the place where the books take place. In my opinion that’s the coolest thing about it and going to a Twilight convention with the actors and actresses is a major plus, especially on a cruise and I have always wanted to see Alaska!!! I have been on 2 cruises(both Carnival, and both Caribbean) This cruise is Holland America, I actually called and got information on this cruise and talked to the captain of the ship, she was extremely nice and very helpful! I’m really excited about this cruise, it is pricey but so worth it! I averaged it out and just my share everything included was around $2,000 or so (I have to fly basically across the country b/c I live in MS) but I am saving my money to go on this great cruise!! I hope everyone is excited as I am!!

  • robert
