2nd Generation Joining Legends On The Sea Cruise

From 2nd Generation Email Newsletter for August 2013:

Important “Legends On The Sea” News Update: Get $100.00 off the regular price if you book by August 31st. Hurry!!!

Throughout the Spring and Summer of this year, many people who have sailed with Carnival Cruise Lines in the past, have been inundated with cruise specials, appearing to be sent from Carnival Cruise Lines. In fact, the emails are coming from a company who purchases excess or unsold rooms from Carnival and then sales them back to previous customers at what appears to be discounted prices…prices that are by no means guaranteed by Carnival Cruise Lines.

Here’s how it works: You receive an email advertising a trip for what seems to be an inexpensive price. You go online to purchase and discover that you must purchase the ticket(s) by midnight that same evening or possibly lose the lower rate. Concerned it is expedient that you secure the room immediately, you purchase the tickets(s) unaware that in the fine print of the agreement, you are most likely receiving a low grade accommodation, with only the possibility of an upgrade by Carnival Cruise Lines, if available. The problem is…Carnival Cruise Lines did not have an agreement with you for a possible upgrade, only the company who sold you the ticket(s) and that upgrade might never materialize. If it does, of course it may cost you an additional price. In the end, all you’ve really purchased is a bare bones cruise that will charge you additional gratuities for your cabin services and every meal, not to mention additional taxes for each port your cruise has visited, all upon disembarking. These taxes and gratuities can easily reach into the $300.00 range and leave you feeling financially violated. And did I mention that these cruise advertisements do not include gospel music?

With a “Legends On The Sea” cruise, we make your accommodations with Carnival Cruise Lines, via the reputable “Interworld Travel Agency,” not some knockoff company. This means, every price is guaranteed and your gratuities & port taxes are included in the price of your cruise. This also means, what you pay up front, is all you’ll ever have to pay! There is never a worry about the room you’re getting…whichever room you select, that’s the room you’ll being staying in! If you should decide to upgrade your room, you’ll get an actual upgrade too! In addition, included in your cruise package, is the cost of each concert attendance where you’ll experience the finest in Gospel Music featuring your hosting legends, The Freemans, The Rambos, Larry & Jana Hinson, along with many other special guest singers, who all guarantee to make your cruise aboard Legends not only an exciting vacation, but a truly uplifting spiritual event! (See Brochure for list of artists…all guest artists subject to change.)

Regular “Legends On The Sea” cruise prices begin at $799.00 for a category 4B (Interior Cabin, Rivera deck.) But right now through the end of August 2013, get $100.00 off per passenger. This means you get this coming year’s cruise for the past year’s price of just $699.00 per person! Hurry, August will be over soon and so will this special! In addition, we’re working to extend the October deadline for full payment to November or December, allowing you more time to complete your cruise payment. You simply won’t find a better time to get on board with the “Legends On The Sea” cruise than today!

Put your $200.00 deposit down now and get ready for the cruise of a lifetime, then sit back and relax with no worries…your cruise is booked with Legends! Contact Sandy Berry at Interworld Travel here on facebook at interworldtravel@facebook.com or 4utravel@bellsouth.net, 1-800-993-8785, to book your reservations. Send $200.00 deposit per person for non-suite rooms and $250.00 deposit per person for all suite rooms to… The Freemans (checks and money orders payable to (Legends On The Sea,) at, PO Box 1581, Hendersonville, TN. 37075.

Rambo McGuire To Debut Grassroots Rambo On The Main Stage At TheNational Quartet Convention

Nashville, TN (September 7, 2011) – The incredible music of Dottie Rambo will be celebrated in a momentous and glorious way, next week, as her daughter Reba Rambo-McGuire (original member of The Rambos), along with husband Dony, daughter Destiny, son Israel, and father Buck Rambo (also founding member of The Rambos), sing and celebrate the release of Grassroots Rambos on the main stage of the National Quartet Convention.

The group, Rambo McGuire, will appear on Wednesday and Saturday evenings on the main concert stage in Freedom Hall at the Kentucky Expo Center in Louisville, KY. They will sing songs from the recording such as “I Won't Ask For More," "Too Much To Gain To Lose," and "Remind Me Dear Lord" and many more accompanied by a live band. They’ll be making additional appearances throughout the week, including the highly attended Bill Gaither’s Homecoming Sing-A-Long on Friday afternoon.

In addition to the live debut of the album, the radio single, “I Won’t Ask For More,” will debut on radio airwaves across the world on Wednesday, September 14th, 2011.

Reba Rambo-McGuire expresses, “Grassroots Rambos is an organic and authentic return and rebirth of Dottie Rambo music in its mountain music embryonic essence. It's a newborn ancient soul. To me, it’s the old and young man dancing in abandoned, effortless joy. It's Mom's profound revelation in a gingham dress. I find myself breathing free and soaring on mandolin and fiddle wings as we lift up our voices in harmonious and simple truth. It's something real in a synthetic world... I love it!

The Freemans To Host Legends On the Sea (A Reunion Cruise) This Coming January

NASHVILLE, Tenn. – (August 1, 2011) – Southern Gospel favorites The Freemans will be hosting a unique cruise featuring many classic names from Gospel music’s varied history.

Set to take place January 16-21, 2012, the “Legends On the Sea (A Reunion Cruise)” will feature such performers as The Classic Hinsons (featuring Ronny Hinson, Larry Hinson, Chris Freeman, and Bo Hinson), Rambo McGuire (remembering The Rambos with special guest Buck Rambo), The Steeles, The Shepherds, The Singing Cookes, and hosts The Freemans.

The special cruise will also feature a New Artist Showcase. Artists set to perform on that showcase include Heavens Highway, Chris Hester, The Bilderbacks, Deep Water Band, and The Williamsons.

Darrell Freeman of The Freemans said, “This is such a unique opportunity for all of these artists to get together. We are so excited about hosting such legendary names and voices in the industry on this cruise. If you’ve loved the music of these legends, then you won’t want to miss out on this cruise!”

For brochures, pricing and complete itinerary visit www.the-freemans.com/cruise.html .

The Freemans recently scored their latest #1 single with the lyric driven and poignant song “The Father & the Son.” Penned by celebrated songwriter Dianne Wilkinson, “The Father & the Son” spent four consecutive weeks at #1 on the AbsolutelyGospel.com (formerly SoGospelNews.com) Top 40 Weekly Chart – the Southern Gospel’s most watched and respected weekly radio report.

“The Father & the Son” is the debut single from The Freeman’s much-anticipated new recording – Evidence. Four years in the making, Evidence is truly The Freemans’ most transparent and emotional release to date. Evidence features songs that were chosen in response to four pivotal years for the group, which were mired with multiple family deaths and extremely personal losses for individual group members. Those events took the group on an emotional journey that resonates throughout the new recording.

Evidence is now available at concert events and on The Freemans’ website.
