Costs: There are two costs associated with this "hash" cruise. There's the hash registration (REGO) fee that is paid to the JRH3 and then there's the cruise cost that is paid to our designated travel agent and cruise line.

Hash Rego Fee: The hash rego fee pays for 8 hash trails (4 on board ship and 4 at the destinations), down down beer at off the ship destinations, pirate booty (gimmies), for prizes (during the hash challenges and games) and for other miscellaneous expenses. However, you may need to provide some of your own beer during some of the hashes to defray our costs. The hash rego fee is will be only $69 this year because the liquor package is included in the cost of the cabins. YOU ARE EXPECTED TO HAVE THE LIQUOR PACKAGE INCLUDED IN YOUR CABIN COST. THEREFORE, THE HASH WILL NOT BE SUPPLYING ANY ALCOHOLIC DRINKS ABOARD SHIP. The $69 only pays for beer during the circles at the end at destinations off of the ship.

Register online using HASH REGO, https://hashrego.com/events/jrh3-hash-cruise-2023. You can pay for your REGO the old fashion way by mailing a check or money order, payable to RICHARD GEERS, 7007 ORVICTI CT, WESLEY CHAPEL, FL 33544.

Sorry, we no longer accept PayPal as they suck!

Note: As a courtesy, we will be accepting unused REGO fees from the 2022 JRH3 Hash Cruise, for the few of you that found it necessary to cancel from this cruise, at the last minute, as payment for this 2023 JRH3 Hash Cruise. If this is you, please let us know when you are registering (REGOing) for the 2023 JRH3 Hash Cruise, so we can properly give you the credit. The credit will only be accepted for the 2023 JRH3 Hash Cruise and will otherwise be forfeited if not redeemed by going on the 2023 JRH3 Hash Cruise.

Cabin Costs: This cruise is an all inclusive cruise (liquor, WiFi are included as well as some optional discounts on excursions and specialty dining). However, tips and gratuities are not included in the cabin costs. I understand you can opt not to have the liquor package included with your cabin, but then you are on your own as far as beverages go and you will only save a small amount. Once you book your cabin, our travel agent will try to ensure you get the lowest possible rate if the cost happens to decrease due to specials going on between now the day we sail. Be advised, however, most of the sales occur early. The longer you wait the more you will likely pay. For cabin pricing, contact our designated travel agent, Kathy Yacone, at her landline number 727-797-5730, or at dunedintravel@yahoo.com, by email.

These items are additional.
