[accessibleimage] OT: UPDATED: VIEW 2008 Hawaii Cruise

Hello:

     I realize this is somewhat off topic, but I thought some of you might find 
this of interest.
-------------------------------
CRUISE TO HAWAII WITH VIEW INTERNATIONAL FOUNDATION

Revised announcement

 

It's time to start planning the 2008 View International Cruise!

 

     This year, the chosen destination is Hawaii--a land of "aloha" and warm

tropical breezes. We are sailing on Norwegian Cruise Line's (NCL) PRIDE OF 
AMERICA

that sails round trip out of Honolulu. The ship departs on Saturday, February

23rd. Sunday will be spent in Hilo, Hawaii from 8am to 6pm. Monday and

Tuesday will be in lovely Kahului, Maui. Wednesday morning, the ship will dock

in Kona, Hawaii. Thursday and part of Friday will be spent in Nawilwili,

Kauai. Maybe someone will spot one of the stars of the TV show LOST! Did

You know that the show is filmed in Kauai? Friday morning, we'll be back in 
Honolulu to await a flight home or optional aditional days on Oahu.

 

     There are three options in cabin accommodations as follows:

      Inside Cabin (Category K): $1309.99

      Oceanview Cabin (Category G Obstructed oceanview): $1421.98

      Balcony Cabin (Category BF): $1964.79

These prices are per person and based on two people in a cabin. They include

The cruise, all port charges, taxes, government fees, pre-paid gratuities,

And full escort. If you book on or before June 1, receive as a bonus:

      $25 shipboard credit per inside cabin

      $50 shipboard credit per oceanview cabin

      $75 shipboard credit per balcony cabin

       Also, if a third or fourth passenger joins the cabin, each one will 
receive from $25 to $35 shipboard credit.

 

     The term full escort means that for about every eight blind passengers, 
there will be a friendly elbow or pair of eyes to provide help as needed. Note 
that our travel agent and VIEW International are arranging for this and not 
NCL. The Pride of America has accommodations for wheelchairs and guide dogs are 
welcome. There are also activities for children on board the ship.

 

     Most of the group will be staying two days after the cruise in Honolulu. 
Our travel agent has arranged group rates at The Park Shore Hotel; which is 
located right across the

street from Waikiki Beach. Rates start at $119 per night per room. A visit

to Pearl Harbor and the Polynesian Cultural Center are planned post-cruise 
activities

for those who stay after the cruise.

 

     Our last cruise to the Caribbean was incredible. We were able to touch and 
hold sea turtles, visit a Mayan house, climb a Mayan ruin, encounter dolphins, 
shop for souvenirs and other activities too numerous to mention. Onboard the 
ship, there will be special activities geared just for our

group. On the last cruise, everybody ooohed and aaahed over their first 
opportunity to look closely at an ice carving and melon carving. This trip will 
be not only fun but educational too.

 

     At each port, you may choose from a variety of tours and activities (for 
an additional charge). VIEW is working on setting up tours that will feature as 
many hands on experiences as possible. Your airfare to Hawaii and trip 
insurance are additional. Speak to Sue for

help on either of those. The deposit for this once-in-a-lifetime vacation is

$350.00 per person. The deposit is to be paid by check or through PayPal. The 
final

payment can be made in increments or in one lump sum by December 4, 2007 via

money order or credit card. 

 

Won't you join us? There is limited availability to cabin space. Call Sue at

Cruise Planners toll free at (800) 847-3460 to ask your questions and make your 
deposit. Within the next week or so, there will be more information at

     Please note: NCL is temporarily relocating the Pride of Hawaii. This 
necessitates a change in ship and date from our earlier announcement.
