IMPORTANT NEWS FROM YOUR CRUISE COMMITTEE!!!

Ahoy there, Freepers! A post-holiday greeting from the cruise committee. Hope you all enoyed the Christmas and New Year's season.

Back to CRUISE NEWS today. Here's some tidings of great joy for all freepers thinking about signing up for our tropical vacation getaway on May 31 to the lush islands of the Caribbean.

Carnival Cruise line has notified us that it's giving our Freepers a $50 reduction in price per person! This includes new registrants as well as those already signed up.

You still have to register with your $250 deposit to hold your cabin, but each of you can deduct $50 per person from your final payment before the cruise. Rates may be viewed by clicking the "cabin fares" link provided at the top of this thread.

Again, if you're already registered, you will save $50 per person on your final payment, so don't forget to deduct it.

This will be good news for a four-member Freeper family already signed up who will realize a $200 saving, LOL!

Sign up now on the form provided in the "registration" link and send it in today while our group rates still hold. After January 27 the cruise line has the option of picking off cabins from our reserved block for other potential customers if needed. We can't guarantee the availability of cabins and our special group price after the end of the month.

Please note the dates on the registration form are now changed. Deposit of $250 is not due till January 27, 2003. Final payment is due March 14, 2003.

So don't delay getting your deposit in if you want to be a Freeper Cruiser. There's nothing we can do about the cut-off date. No cruise line will hold unreserved cabins in a reserved group block forever if other customers are clamoring. It's the free enterprise system at work.

Your immediate deposit will secure your cabin and our special group rate. The remainder of the fare is not due till March 14.

If you have any questions, please post them on the Bahama Mama Q & A thread (link at the top) so that your ever-lovin' Mama can keep things organized and folks know right where to go for instant answers to their cruise questions.

FReeps Ahoy!

Cruise Bump!

WOW! This is great news, Leni!! I think I'll PING some ARIZONA FREEPERS!!!!

Hello Leni -

I really want to go, but the nature of my business prevents me from committing at this time. When is the last day I can commit?

There are so many Freepers I have grown to know and admire and I would love to meet many of you in person - I did not read the entire thread, so if this question has been answered here, I apologize.

Could you also please answer:

Approximately how many are going?

Ratio of men to women?

Your best estimate of singles vs. married couples?

Age range and average age if possible?

Thanks in advance! (I'm sure others may be curious as well...)
