Everyone, please read post # 206 above. You MUST phone Wanda's office today (Sunday) and leave a message if you want to take advantage of the Holland America cruise deals which expire at midnight tonight. Your phone call message will establish the fact that you phoned to register before the deadline.
On the message, ask Wanda to call you back, or if you prefer, you can phone her on Monday at toll-free 1-800-890-7583 to make your reservation. You MUST make the reservation Monday to get the deals.
Once you're registered, our cruise committee will put your name into the hat for Wednesday's drawing for a $50 on-board gift certificate.
Remember, if you want, Wanda will handle your air travel arrangements. She'll also take care of a group accomodations package we've obtained for those freepers arriving in Ft. Lauderdale a day early. We'll all be staying at the Embassy Suites and the group price will include free van transportation from the airport to the hotel on Friday and then to the Zuiderdam terminal on Saturday morning.
I just found out that a free cocktail hour for our band of brethern and sistern on Friday night is going to be for TWO hours, not one (fun, fun, fun). This will be great for getting to know each other before embarkation and for seeing old friends again.
The package also includes a delicious hot breakfast buffet on Saturday morning prior to leaving for the port. All this plus a lovely room for only $134 plus tax. One phone call to Wanda on Monday and your vacation is all taken care of.
You can then relax till the day you pack shorts, sneakers, swim suit, straw hat and sun screen and leave cares and woe behind for a glorious week in the Caribbean tropics.
