Comfort Inn - Port Everglades
Holland American cabins are the roomiest of virtually all cruise lines plying the Caribbean.
Shown above is a verandah cabin on FReeper Row. You can get a slight glimpse of the balcony. The on-shore buildings visible through the sliding glass doors are the shining towers of Shangri-La, our dream getaway destination. It's waiting for us!
Holland America non-verandah inside and outside cabins are the best at sea. If you book one immediately, you'll be automatically upgraded to an outside cabin WITH a verandah like the one pictured above at NO extra cost. The verandahs fill up quickly, so this upgrade offer can be yanked any time as we get closer to the end-of-May embarkation date.
If you register now, you'll also find a $50 on-board credit sitting in your shipboard account for you to spend as you wish. This $50 credit is per PERSON, not per cabin....goody goody.
Phone Wanda at toll-free 1-800-890-7583 right away to reserve a perfectly-located cabin while they're still available. She'll patiently answer all your questions, find the best budget deal for your needs and getcha all ready to go.
If you so desire, she'll find a good air fare for you (man, there's some good deals right now). She'll also take care of your reservation at the Ft. Lauderdale Embassy Suites if you want.
Early-bird Freepers arriving on Friday will enjoy one low price for hotel suite accomodation, free cocktail party, free complete hot breakfast buffet next morning.....and best of all, free courtesy van from the airport to the Embassy on Friday, plus free van to the Holland America terminal next morning. Such a deal!
I also want to add that all Freepers living in the Ft. Lauderdale area are invited to drive over and visit with us at the Embassy on Friday night. If you can, partake of dinner or an adult beverage with us. This will be a fun evening for all!
And then, next day......SAIL ON, O SHIP OF FREEP!

Early-birds arriving in Ft. Lauderdale the day/evening before embarkation, please take note:
The Comfort Inn near Port Everglades has a much better deal than the Embassy Suites for our group's accomodations. WE WILL NOT BE BOOKING THE EMBASSY.
The Comfort Inn room is $62 dollars plus tax which will total around $68 plus or minus. Each of us will save about 40% on a room charge with this change (the more to spend in St. Thomas, heheh).
There's complimentary courtesy van service from the airport to the Inn and then to the cruise terminal on Saturday morning.
The Comfort Inn room has coffee maker, ironing, hair dryer, safe, HBO. There's a poolside Tiki bar and bistro. No dinner restaurant, but restaurants are all around the Inn and across the street. Free hot-cooked breakfast with omelet station on site for us in the morning.
THOSE OF YOU WHO HAVE ALREADY REGISTERED FOR THIS CRUISE but have not made your Friday night accomodations arrangements, please phone Wanda right away to book for the Comfort Inn. Her number is 1-800-890-7583.
Details on where to find the Comfort Inn courtesy vans at the airport and at what times they shuttle will be posted as soon as this info is available to us.
