RICK BRAUN, international star and favorite of smooth jazz fans around the world, is the official host of the All Star Smooth Jazz Cruise (November 13-20, 2005) onboard Carnival's largest ship, the Conquest, on a 7-day exotic Gulf of Mexico cruise, visiting multiple ports and enjoying a full week of the most incredible smooth jazz the world has to offer.

Rick's personality and energy made him the unanimous choice of the organizers for this year's event. Armed with a dangerous trumpet, this smooth jazz pied piper has lead the way at many of the events on board. Thanks so much to Rick and his whole musical organization for a job well done!
