Kim&N8 Posted August 16, 2018 Report Share Posted August 16, 2018 @Matt there were awesome ideas happening on periscope last night. The radio this morning told me it’s National Rum day which reminded me of the kraken 5k... your event could be The Kraken 5k... rum for rum! We’ll need a winners medal Also I bet we could get a whole list of amazing group cruise ideas going here! Matt 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt Posted August 16, 2018 Report Share Posted August 16, 2018 The 5k bar crawl idea isn't bad at all! Someone suggested it be called the 5Kraken bar crawl. Skigoofy, Kim&N8 and JLMoran 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JLMoran Posted August 16, 2018 Report Share Posted August 16, 2018 @Matt has had a bunch of us badgering him for a 2020 July group cruise to Canada & New England. Granted, that's only a 6-night itinerary; we might have to make it a B2B with the 8-night Bahamas & Perfect Day run for a proper vacation, not to mention giving enough time for all of us to properly sample the Kraken and other libations.

WhiteSoxFan Posted August 16, 2018 Report Share Posted August 16, 2018 I believe we need to move the decimal point and make it a point 5K pub crawl. ellcee 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CGTLH Posted August 16, 2018 Report Share Posted August 16, 2018 Been trying to come up with unique ideas. Will say the comment about how bar crawls shrink as the progress is very true. Participated in one back in May. By the end maybe a quarter still remained (survived). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That being said, my concern is even if the "5K" element is more of a joke than a real road race, it will scare off folks who might otherwise a traditional pub crawl.

If it happens to be five, naming is perfect. *Kraken Kim&N8 and Matt 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CGTLH Posted August 16, 2018 Report Share Posted August 16, 2018 Comment about a Poker "Run"... Fun to do, but the logistics can be a pain. Plus depending on numbers of participants it can become very complex. On one cruise it was combined with a Suite only cabin crawl. Think we stopped at 4 different suites plus a refreshment break at a bar. Drew two cards at the first and last stop, then one at the other stops. Best and worst 5 card hand (out of 7), split was 90/10. Kim&N8 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's outside of my comfort zone, especially as a group organizer. I did not want you to feel like I belittled your idea or did not appreciate it. I wanted to explain exactly why I'm hesitant to do it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wanted to explain exactly why I'm hesitant to do it. Understand 100% It was fun, but the organizer had it down to a science. Could tell it wasn't their first time setting it up. One thought to take some of the gambling aspect out of it. No pot, no fee to participate. Good prize and crummy prize (example: voucher for a shirt | a sticker/magnet).

WhiteSoxFan Posted August 16, 2018 Report Share Posted August 16, 2018 The bar crawl needs to be accompanied by intermittent runs to El Loco Fresh for Guac and chips. Matt, Kim&N8, ellcee and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
