Our rooms will be at the Eastern end of the resort only a few steps from the ocean and we will have two hospitality rooms as well as an area outside the hospitality rooms with tables with chairs near the Tiki Hut.

We are having a great response to our upcoming cruise reunion.

We will gather at a Holiday Inn on November 5th & 6th, 2010 and we can then be shuttled over to the ship on the 7th.

You can also follow the links for "Shore Excursions" to check out what they are offering at the ports we will be visiting which are Freeport and Nassua. There are even shore escursions for Port Canaveral if you want to do some things around Florida after the cruise.
