To get on a Tiger Cruise you need to be sponsored by a sailor on the ship.  In general limited to close family only- no spouses, no girlfriends/boyfriends.

Welcome Ajaye! Thank you for all of your years of service. We have lots of information about Tiger Cruises. You need to be sponsored by an Active duty Sailor. Join our Tiger Cruise group for more information!

Welcome to NavyDads.com Ajaye ! When my daughter enlisted in 2005 and left for RTC, I had virtually no knowledge of Navy life or how the Navy did things. By the time her PIR rolled around, I was starting to get the hang of things and understand some of the language and abbreviations, but still felt like a fish out of water when dealing with most topics concerning the US Navy. When my son enlisted and left for Great Lakes in 2007, I got serious about trying to learn as much as possible about the Navy. Now, several years into my journey, I’m blessed to say I have two sailors in the family - my son Eric (AM2) was on the USS Theodore Roosevelt (CVN-71), was attached to Helicopter Maritime Strike Squadron 37 (HSM-37) in Hawaii, and is now attached to VAW-125 ("The Tigertails"). My daughter Kat is now a Navy veteran and was stationed on the carrier Abraham Lincoln (CVN-72) as a Mass Communications Specialist(MC3). If NavyDads.com were around in those early days, it would have made my first days as a Navy parent much easier!

If you have any comments, questions or concerns be sure to post them! In my experience someone here can answer your questions or concerns or can point you in the direction to find out. And Ajaye this is a great place to brag as well! So join in, get active, and be sure to let everyone know how you are doing!

Best Regards- Paul

Ajaye,

Here is a link to our Tiger Cruise Group. There is a lot of information from others who have been on a Tiger, and information that we have gathered over the years. But the one thing we note is that not just anyone can go on a Tiger Cruise. Generally you must have a sailor in the family on the ship in order to go.

Welcome aboard to NavyDads.com Ajaye! When my son first enlisted, I was a little scared and worried for him. Not coming from a military family at all, I had no idea what to expect. What I found out was that he had made the most mature decision of his life! I found lots of answers to my questions right here on NavyDads.com.

My son Stephen was an AWO2 in the P-3 community. However, after 6 years of service, he was medically discharged in July of 2014. We are proud of our son and his service to our country.

Join us on Facebook as well!

Best Regards- Jim
