of the Seas
AHOY MY FEARLESS MATES!!!!!!
ARE YOU READY FOR YET ANOTHER ADVENTURE????
Plans for the Fall 2003 SAFS cruise meeting are well underway.
We have been successful in reserving 50 double cabins aboard the Royal
Caribbean ship “Enchantment of the Seas” departing Ft. Lauderdale, Florida
on September 11th. We
will be cruising to Key West and then on to Cozumel, Mexico with return to Ft.
Lauderdale on the morning of September 15th.
Itinerary:
Ft. Lauderdale, FL – Depart Sept.
11, 2003 at 5:00 pm
West, FL – Arrive Sept. 12 at
7:00 am and depart 2:00 pm
Cozumel, Mexico – Arrive Sept. 13 at
10:00 am and depart 8:00 pm
At sea – Sept. 14
Ft. Lauderdale – Arrive Sept. 15 at
8:30 am
The cabins reserved are a “block” of double inside cabins,
singles were not available. Upgraded accommodations are possible (for a nominal
fee) but space is limited so I will need to know as soon as possible who wants
that type of cabin. In addition, we
have been strongly advised by Royal Caribbean that those who will not be sharing
a cabin may be assessed an additional fee.
Cost for this adventurous expedition will be $449.00 per
person which includes cruise fare, government taxes, port charges, meals, most
beverages and all tips. This price
does not include airfare or alcoholic beverages. The first down payment must be received no later that
February 28, 2003. This is a
non-refundable deposit of $75.00. The
second payment of $100 will be due no later than April 30th with the
remaining amount due by July 1st.
A valid passport OR a birth certificate with a
raised seal and a government issued I.D. (i.e.
military ID or driver’s license) is required for each attendee.
We are planning to make this one of the best meetings ever!!
Please do not hesitate to contact me with any questions.
