4 days of fun in the sun to the Bahamas onboard the Carnival Sensation. This event is posted on my meetup group which is why the RSVP is closed out here on Play Dates, please see the link further down the page which links to my cruise page if you'd like to RSVP for this event. We went on a cruise in September as a meetup group to Cozumel and had a BLAST, so this trip is to the Bahamas!!!!! Serenity Now! This is What We Mean by a Floating Resort Relax and take in the magnificent ocean view, chill with friends in one of Carnival Sensation's hot tubs, or enjoy your favorite drink as you kick back under the shade of a big umbrella. Think palm trees, a cool breeze and relaxing with your favorite book in your hand. Now make that a reality and head on over to the Carnival Sensation Resort-Style Pool. Take a swim or just chill out. The Carnival Sensation offers Dance clubs, 9 hole putt-putt golf, water slides, casino and a host of restaurants. There's also a health spa, gym and a show club with various shows for your enjoyment. For those of you who attended our last cruise, you know how much fun we had...if you missed that event, you don't want to miss this trip. CLICK HERE to see some of our pictures from the trip We leave on Sunday afternoon and return Thursday morning with a day in Freeport and an over night in Nassau Sun, Sep 12 Port Canaveral (Orlando), FL 4:00pm Mon, Sep 13 Freeport, Bahamas 9:00am 5:00pm Tues, Sep 14 Nassau, Bahamas 7:00am Wed, Sep 15 Nassau, Bahamas 6:00am Depart Wed, Sep 15 Fun Day AT Sea Thur, Sep 16 Port Canaveral (Orlando), FL Click HERE for more information about the cruise and the ship Our group rate is Internal cabins - $229 (cabin) + 53.95 (Gov Tax) = 282.95 Oceanview cabins - $259 (cabin) + 53.95 (Gov Tax) = 312.95 This rate is per person. ****All Food onboard is included in this price**** Most people book 2 people per cabin. Some cabins have bunk beds so you can fit more than 2 but the cabins aren't huge to begin with so 2 people fit nicely and 3's a crowd....lol *Insurance is extra if you decide to purchase it.* For the 2 rates listed above, your deposit is fully refundable before July 13th, 2010. After July 14th, they pro-rate the amount. Balcony Cabins are available for those who would like one. Please let the agent know when you're booking your reservation. ***They also have an EARLY SAVER rate going at the moment*** It's $209 for an interior cabin and $239 for an ocean view cabin, each will have the 53.95 gov tax added on top of it. The drawback with the Early Saver fare is that this your deposit is non-refundable. You can get a credit for a future Carnival Cruise if something happens and you need to cancel this cruise. Cabins - I have reserved 18 interior cabins and 12 ocean view cabins at this time. I have set the RSVP cut off for July 14th, which is when our final payment is due. Please make your RSVP prior to that. Group Perks - 1 bottle of red wine per cabin 1 bottle of white wine per cabin Group Happy Hour. 1 hour ALL YOU CAN DRINK for free for our entire group. Our group is scheduled for the late dining at 8:15 We learned a few things from our last cruise..... If you'd like to attend the event, please book your reservation and make a deposit prior to 3/31/2010. Your deposit is refundable until July 13th. Last year we had a bunch of people want to join the cruise after the cut off date and it got a little crazy and added some stress and headaches. Your fare needs to be paid in full by July 14th, 2010..... Roommates - I'll create a message board thread just for roommates. I don't feel I should have to coordinate every cabin. I'll post guidelines on the roommate thread. CLICK HERE for roommate information Book early - We found out last time, cabins go pretty quick...don't miss a great cruise because you waited too long. Carpooling - Since this cruise leaves out of Port Canaveral, It would probably be easier to have a few carpools driving there and back. Again, I'll create a message board thread so we can arrange rides. CLICK HERE for Carpool information ************************************************************************************ In order for us to keep track of who's attending this cruise, it will be much easier for scheduling purposes to have everything tracked on one meetup groups site. If you'd like to attend this cruise, please RSVP with my group by visiting this link. http://www.meetup.com/activesingles/calendar/12313520/ If you're not currently a member of my group, feel free to join as it's free. ************************************************************************************ Deposts of $150 need to be made by March 10th. Your deposit is fully refundable if you need to cancel prior to July 13th. The only exception is if you book a super saver fare. If you book that rate, you'll receive a credit for a future cruise. Personally I booked the $229 internal cabin rate so I know I have a refund coming if something major happens.
