Hey, Hey! We've been able to get a package deal from the Embassy Suites in Ft. Lauderdale for early bird freepers arriving the day before embarkation.
A lot of us like to arrive at the port city a day early. It's just more relaxing and there's no chance of missing the boat!
Last year, we had an accomodations package deal with the Miami Embassy, and it was fabulous. I just got the word that our group will get the same deal in Ft. Lauderdale at the same low cost.
On Friday, May 21, freepers arriving a day early will be transported from the airport to the Embassy in the hotel's courtesy van. You will find an extremely nice room accomodation. Then, there'll be a cocktail hour for our group before dinner. All you can drink, hic, and snackies, to boot.
There's a restaurant in the hotel and your din-din is the only thing not included in the package. Or you may want to opt for a different restaurant in the Ft. Lauderdale area. But we DO have fun that night in the Embassy restaurant and bar.
Next morning (Saturday, May 22), our group will have a delicious and varied hot breakfast buffet. Let me tell you, they have good food!
Then, the hotel's courtesy van will take us and our luggage directly to the Holland America port terminal.
ALL OF THE ABOVE EXCEPT YOUR DINNER IS INCLUDED in our group's package deal which will be only $124 plus tax.
Again, the package price includes private van transportation from the airport to the Embassy, a free cocktail hour, a complimentary breakfast, and then, van transportation to our fabulous liner, the Zuiderdam. Fantastic deal!
If you've already registered and want to stay at the Embassy with the gang (for a little pre-party getting-acquainted party), phone Wanda again at 1-800-890-7583. She'll take care of your room reservation and you'll prepay by credit card. Then you'll be good to go on everything!
Our group price will hold firm as long as we register for a minimum of 10 rooms. So please do your sweet Leni a favor and call Wanda right away so I don't get grey hairs over us meeting the minimum requirement.
As we did last year, we invite Ft. Lauderdale area freepers to drop in at the Embassy and have an adult beverage or dinner with the gang. Last year in Miami, freeper Luis Gonzalez stopped in to see us at the hotel, and then escorted some of our group on a sightseeing tour of the very interesting and jumpin' Little Havana.
The fun aspects of this cruise are starting to pile up, fellow freepers. You don't want to miss this opportunity for a great vacation. Life is short, and this carefree dream vacation for you is only a phone call to Wanda away.
