Sail across the Atlantic with John Cleese

TravelWeens — Sat, 26 Jun 2010 18:04:33 +0000

You’ve seen him in “Monty Python” and “Fawlty Towers,” and now you can cruise with him across the Atlantic with Cunard.

John Cleese is scheduled to speak as part of the Cunard Insights program aboard Cunard’s Queen Mary 2 on the Aug. 8, 2010 departure.

If you’ve never sailed aboard the Queen Mary 2, it’s truly an incredible experience. The ship is the very definition of luxury, and it shows in the extravagance of its dining rooms, public areas, theatres and lounges. It even boasts the only planetarium at sea.

If you’re a fan of John Cleese and a cruising, there isn’t a better sailing to book than this one. Cabins for this transatlantic crossing from New York to Southampton are limited, so book your cruise with John Cleese today!

From Cunard’s page describing the event, I give you this brief bio of a comedy legend:

A firm British favourite of unmistakable style, John Cleese was born in Western Super Mare and has become a household name in British Comedy as an actor, a writer and producer.

Cleese graduated in Law from Cambridge University, where he became a member of the prestigious Footlights Society where he met his future writing partner Graham Chapman.

Whilst writing and performing in The Frost Report, a mixture of monologue, sketch and music, Cleese met Michael Palin, Eric Idle and Terry Jones. Together they created Monty Python’s Flying Circus, an influential sketch show that ran from 1964-1974.

Most famous for his appearance as “Basil Fawlty” alongside Prunella Scales in the 1970’s comedy sitcom “Fawlty Towers”. Cleese was inspired to write what became “Fawlty Towers” after he and the Monty Python team were staying at a hotel in Torquay. The programme, for which only two series (twelve episodes) were written, went on to become a British comedy classic.
In recent years he appeared in the James Bond films “The World Is Not Enough” and “Die Another Day”, playing Gadget Master Q’s assistant and subsequent replacement.

Cleese is seen in two Harry Potter films as Nearly Headless Nick and heard as King Harold in Shrek 2.

That last W-2 has come in! You are finally ready to do those taxes, and — SURPRISE! You have a huge refund coming! Why not turn that refund into a cruise vacation?

When I did my taxes this year, I found out that I gave the government way too much money in 2009. Thankfully, they plan on giving me that money back. It’s going right into my cruise fund.

So, really the question is where would you like to go with your tax refund? There are all sorts of deals available nowadays.

Royal Caribbean recently lowered their rates on some of their spring voyages. Norwegian Cruise Lines is offering free upgrades and other bonus specials. Carnival Cruise Lines has just finished renovating the Carnival Fascination.

There are also some great deals on some upcoming voyages to the Caribbean, Europe and Alaska!
