My colleague Gene Sloan at USA Today has quite a story on a single’s group that has blocked group cabin space onboard a Carnival Cruise Lines vessel. Sloan reports that Los Gatos, California-based Singles Travel Company and singles group The Society of Single Professionals are co-sponsoring a three-night getaway aboard the Carnival Elation, which is geared towards older women who like younger men – aka “cougars”.

Sloan says the article is drawing more comments than another front page story on the recession. Check out Sloan’s story at http://www.usatoday.com/travel/cruises/item.aspx?type=blog&ak=68499038.blog to get the scoop on this real “Fun Ship” cruise.
