Who wouldn’t want to be gonged by a Gorn? Well, probably lots of people, but if you’re a Star trek fan, it may be one of those things you didn’t know you wanted because you didn’t know it was a thing. Well it is, and it’s just one of the many activities planned for Star Trek The Cruise VII on Royal Caribbean’s Mariner of the Seas out of Port Canaveral Feb. 22 – 29, 2024.
When we previously wrote about this Star Trek cruise last May, we told you how they said it was almost sold out. Well it seems they still have some rooms left. Here’s a list of the planned activities from their most recent newsletter:
