Latest Cruise Update (November 15, 2007)

Attendance: We have over sixty confirmed bookings, which is great, but we would still like to sign up even more delegates to join in the fun.

Deposit: The deposit required with booking is now $200 per person for a regular cabin, with the full balance due December 27. Bookings after December 27 will be payable in full.

Cabins: The cruise line has the right to cancel any cabins remaining from our original reservation of 50 (that is about 100 people) after December 27, so please urge anyone interested to sign up soon to secure their place.

Details and documents available on websites: The RBANA site: http://www.rbana.com and the club website (here of course) both have full details of the cruise and printable documents for reservations and contacts. Please check them out.

See y'all aboard ship!
