OPT 1: 4, OPT 2: 3 OPT 3: 4, OPT 4: 4 OPT 5: 2, OPT 6: 2 OPT 7: 7, OPT 8: 6 As you can see, the majority of people are choosing the Tampa port location. That also is the Holland America cruiseline which may be the other important preference of most people. Another note is that there are no cruises longer than 8 days that leave out of Tampa during October or November. Another concern that was raised was if the other ports (Ft. Lauderdale or Miami) were used, would there be a bus chartered to transport us there? That is something I will certainly look into and arrange for if we continue to explore that option seriously. Also, I was asked to check into a longer cruise (more than 7 days) and the best itineraries are listed below. OPT 9: Nov 6-16, Princess Cruises-Island Princess, departs Ft. Lauderdale for 10 days. Itinerary: Ft. L, Aruba, Cartagena, Panama Canal, Cristobal, Puerto Limon, Ocho Rios, Ft. L Currently, inside rooms start at $1199, oceanview starts at $1399. OPT 10: Nov 9-19, Holland America-MS Zuiderdam, departs Ft. L for 10 days. Itinerary: Ft. L, Half Moon Cay, Oranjestad, Willemstad, Panama Canal, Gatun Lake, Colon, Puerto Limon, Ft. L. Currently, inside rooms start at $1234, oceanview starts at $1299. OPT 11: Nov 7-21: Holland America-MS Maasdam, departs Ft L for 14 days. Itinerary: Ft. L, San Juan/Puerto Rico, Saint Thomas, Basseterre, Roseau, Barbados/Bridgetown, St. Lucia/Castries, Soufriere, Pointe-a-Pitre/Guadeloupe, Philipsburg/St. Maarten, Road Town, Half Moon Cay, Fort Lauderdale. Currently, insides rooms start at $1299, oceanview starts at $1399. Finally, please respond to this email and let me know your preference based on this new information. Once I get these results, we will make a decision based on the consensus and move out. Please respond no later than a week from now, 23 March. Thank you! Dawn EMAIL sent 2/29/08: Hello fellow SPSPS-ers, As your 2008 Social Activities chairman, here is some information I put together for a possible Squadron Group Cruise in November. I would enjoy getting your responses and will collect them to present at a future time/meeting. The sooner we can come to consensus, the better, as prices will only continue to go up (mostly due to fuel prices-ugh!). Due to other activities going on in October, it seems as though the beginning of November is the optimum time to go and our favorite season will be over-yipee!!! OPTION 1: Nov 14-23, Norwegian Cruise Line (NCL)/Norwegian Jewel, departs Miami for 9 days. Itinerary: Miami, Samana, Tortola, St. John's/Antigua, Barbados/Bridgetown, Saint Lucia, Miami.

Message-ID: <00b701c89379$3eb515c0$6401a8c0@YOURD3D3F0FEB8> > Hello everyone! > The final result is that the majority who responded to my previous emails prefer to take the Holland America Veendam out of Tampa on November 9-16. The itinerary is: Key West, Belize City, Belize; Santo Tomas de Castilla, Guatemala; Costa Maya, Mexico, Tampa. Currently, the promotion rates available are: Inside staterooms starting at $599 pp, Oceanview staterooms are starting at $699. This does not include $58 gov't fees and $35 per person fuel supplement fee. Now that we've zeroed in on the date and itinerary, I would ask that everyone who is seriously considering going on this cruise please email me again to confirm their intent to cruise. I will then work with that group of people to proceed with the reservations, deposit, etc. I currently am holding 16 cabins right now for SPSPS. Please respond to this email no later than 11 April as promotional rates are not guaranteed so the sooner we get the reservations and deposits in, the better chance we have to contract at current rates (The group rates they have right now are more than the promo rates).
