Theme Cruise for Plus-Size Women

This fall, Figure Magazine, a plus-size fashion magazine, is hosting the second annual Figure at Sea cruise Nov. 4-11 on the Carnival Glory.

The Caribbean cruise will offer plus-size women entertaining and life-enriching activities, including the chance to learn to be a runway model, participate in a fashion show, and possibly be discovered as a Figure Magazine model.

Figure Magazine, now in its fourth year of publication, has partnered with Carnival Cruise Lines on the cruise. Motivational speakers and fashion industry experts will be onboard to conduct seminars on personal beauty, fashion, women's health, fitness, positive thinking and motivation.

Boarding in Port Canaveral, the ship will call at Key West, Belize and Costa Maya. The week will culminate in the gala fashion show. Speakers include Morgen Schick, a Ford model and author of "Your Makeover," and Jessica Weiner, author of "Do I Look Fat In This?" www.figuremagazine.com.
