Apparently, Ezra needs another tropical vacation, and he'd like you to pay for it:
"Drop those coconuts, David!"
*Bonk*!
"Ow!"
P.S. Perhaps Holland America should know about other cruise lines that have washed their hands of Rebel News' hatemongering, racism and bigotry. And there's always this:
P.P.S. The most sad-making aspect of Rebel's annual fellatiofests is the decline in quality of the "special guests." Where once Ezra could claim at least vaguely-recognized C-listers from the right-wing dumbshit-o-sphere, these days, he seems limited to one deranged dingbat who's only there because she's being paid (Lich), followed by (dear God) Sheila, She-Wolf of the SS, David "The Menses" Menzies and Rebel's utterly unforgettable hack journo on the left of that group portrait, for whom the invariable reaction is, "Who the fuck is that!?!?"
If history is any guide, the cruise costs only triple what you'd pay if you booked it yourself. But you knew that, right?
AFTERSNARK: Would anyone like to do some comparison shopping?

I note that the one (1) "featured guest" they actually list is Tamara Lich. Welcome to the Freedom Martyr Gravy Train, Tamara. Will you be joining Artur Pawlowski on the lucrative American Maga Rubber Chicken Lecture circuit?
Is that Tamara Lich second from left? Since when did she become a Rebel reporter?
It's always fun calculating just how badly Ezra is gouging his sheep for the privilege of basking in his presence.
On the recent Israel/Dubai "fact-finding" mission, a comparison with an identical tour package from IndusTravel suggested he was roughly doubling the cost of a standard tour package, without providing many of the benefits Indus included (e.g., flights).
That research is even easier this time, since Ezra has simple reserved a bunch of cabins on an existing Holland America cruise, the standard seven day "Western Caribbean", March 23.
How badly is he screwing his readers this time? Well, let's compare.
If you sign up for a standard Verandah cabin directly with Holland America, the cost is $1,449 Canadian. If you book through Ezra, however, the costs shoots up to $2,118 AMERICAN, or $2,864 Canadian. That's DOUBLE the cost.

You'll note that Ezra's site only shows you the US pricing. I guess that makes it look cheaper.
So you pay twice as much - for what, exactly?
Ezra provides a hilarious list of "exclusive Rebel Cruise" benefits, in which he tries to describes exactly the same thing in as many different ways as possible. These elite Rebel Cruisers will enjoy:
- CURATED CONVERSATIONS
- PANEL DISCUSSIONS
- Seminars
- Cocktail parties
- extensive interaction with guest speakers (who at this point are Tamara Lich, Ezra, the horrific Dave Menzies, the barely articulate Alexis Lavoie, and chief oil lobbyist Sheila Gunn Reid
- numerous social events
You have to admire the number of different ways he manages to say "You'll get to hang out with us and listen to our usual talking points for a week."
Arch Patriot Ezra appears to be booking all this through the "Cruise & Travel" authority, an American firm based in Georgia. Maybe a redneck-to-redneck quid pro quo?
Can you imagine being on a cruise ship with Rebel News during the pandemic with sick people not being able to sick anywhere.
