Adoption Cruise Revisited

One of the travel agents I work with for group cruises called me today with a really great deal so I thought I would put this out there again. This is for a 5 night cruise on Carnival's Celebration departing Monday, September 3, 2007 and returning Saturday, September 8.

Itinerary:

Monday, Jacksonville, FL - depart 4 PM.
Tuesday: Fun Day at Sea
Wed: Key West 7 AM - 3 PM
Thur: Nassau 11 AM - 10 PM
Fri. Fun Day at Sea
Sat. Jacksonville, FL - disembark at 7 AM.

Inside Cabins are $329 per person for the lst and 2nd person in cabin. $270 each for the 3rd and 4th person the sharing cabin.

Oceanview cabins are $379 per person for the lst and 2nd person; $290 each for the 3rd and 4th persons sharing the cabin.

Carnival has some cabins that will hold 5 - if needed.

These prices include all taxes and fees, so it's a really good deal for a 5 night cruise.

Oh--and this also includes a private party just for our group and any special programs we would like to set up. This could be things like a movie night, a baby games party or pretty much anything we can come up with. I've done several celebrity events with them and they've always been really terrific to work with.


If anyone wants to do this we would need a $25 per person deposit by July 26, 2006 with a full deposit of $200 by May of next year. We can set up a payment plan to make it really easy. The final payment will be due July 1, 2007. Anyone can cancel up to that time and get all their money back if they should need to. Penalties for cancellations don't start until July 3, 2007.

If anyone is interested in doing this, please send me an email at kizibits6@bellsouth.net. I will be in Russia for court July 2-15, but will get with everyone who expresses interest once I return so that we can send in deposits. They are currently holding 30 cabins (15 inside and 15 outside) for us, but this can be increased/decreased as needed.

Unfortunately that falls onthe first week of school here in NJ. I am not one to insist on perfect attendance but missing the first few days is going to be too rough.

Move it back to mid August and we might go. I will also not pull my kids out of the first week of school.

People with kids that are school age in the South would need early August at the latest...DD starts school August 14th this year. My guess is that these dates are so cheap as the height of hurricane season is September 9th I believe...it will probably go up...

Thanks for posting this and for getting the info...

So sad - but that will be our first week of kindergarten.
Thanks for trying to plan something.
