Greetings, Cruise Fans, Welcome to the July 17 edition of the 7 Seas Cruise News, brought to you by your best cruise discount resource, Pat Crane of 7 Seas Cruises. As many of you already know, Pat discounts cruises! Every price he can legally cut, he will! His goal is to provide the absolute lowest price aboard the ship of your choice on the itinerary you want on the day you wish to sail. So, call him, toll-free at 1-866-424-1090 and plan a discounted getaway today! Pat was able to provide client Jim B. from Texas a great surprise this week. When final payment time comes around, Pat makes it a policy to check with the cruise lines to find out if there has been a price reduction since the cruise was originally booked. Well, this week, Pat learned there had been! And Jim B. saved an additional $ 318 on his upcoming cruise. I really hate to brag about my husband, but I know that Pat is one of very, very few cruise agents who will ask that question-and fewer still who will pass any price savings back to their clients. But he does! Don't ya love it?? Ok, time for some timely cruise news... NCL is pleased to announce the newest enhancement to our e-documents - e-luggage tags! The e- luggage tag will allow the guest to complete and attach to their baggage prior to arriving at the pier/airport. The bag tags will now be sent with all e-documents immediately. The directions are simple: Print out on your normal printer, Fill in name, etc., Fold, wrap around luggage handle, and Staple. E-documents contain all aspects of the hard copy documents now - and they arrive much sooner than traditional documents. Watch for them when you book your next NCL cruise! It's last call for a great 4-night cruise, departing Thanksgiving-at a fabulous price. We have inside and outside space remaining. You'll save about 40% on the current price, but you'll have to act quickly. This is group space and Celebrity will be recalling our leftover group space any day now. This cruise is aboard the better-than-new, just refurbished Celebrity Century! Lovely! The Intelligence Reform and Terrorism Prevention Act of 2004 requires that by January 1, 2008, travelers to and from the Caribbean, Bermuda, Panama, Mexico and Canada have a passport or other secure, accepted document to enter or re- enter the United States. In order to facilitate the implementation of this requirement, the Administration is proposing to complete it in phases following a proposed timeline, which will be published in the Federal Register in the near future. In the proposed implementation plan, which is subject to a period of initial public comment, the Initiative will be rolled out in phases, providing as much advance notice as possible to the affected public to enable them to meet the terms of the new guidelines. The proposed timeline will be as follows: December 31, 2006 - Requirement applied to all air and sea travel to or from Canada, Mexico, Central and South America, the Caribbean, and Bermuda, and December 31, 2007 - Requirement extended to all land border crossings as well as air and sea travel. This is a change from prior travel requirements and will affect all United States citizens entering the United States from countries within the Western Hemisphere who do not currently possess valid passports. This new requirement will also affect certain foreign nationals who currently are not required to present a passport to travel to the United States. Most Canadian citizens, citizens of the British Overseas Territory of Bermuda, and to a lesser degree, Mexican citizens will be affected by the implementation of this requirement. For consumers seeking a fun, affordable vacation aboard one of the cruise industry's most modern " floating resorts," Carnival Cruise Lines' new 110, 000-ton Carnival Freedom will offer a 14-day transatlantic crossing in fall 2007 - with prices starting at low as $799 per person. The Carnival Freedom's transatlantic crossing will depart Rome ( Civitavecchia) Oct. 28, and arrive in Miami Nov. 11, 2007. The voyage begins with an overnight call in Civitavecchia on the first day of the cruise, providing guests an opportunity to explore the many sights of Rome and the surrounding area, followed by extended visits to some of Europe's most charming and historic cities, including Livorno, Italy; Malaga, Spain; and Funchal (Madeira), Portugal. Dozens of shore excursions, including visits to Florence and Pisa and opportunities to explore the Andalusian countryside and the island of Madeira, are available in conjunction with this voyage. Prior to the transatlantic voyage, Carnival Freedom will debut with a series of 12-day Mediterranean cruises from Civitavecchia that include the line' s first-ever visits to the Greek Isles and Turkey. The program will run March 14 - October 16, 2007. Encompassing 13 passenger decks, the new Carnival Freedom will feature four dining rooms, including two two-level main dining rooms, an expansive poolside eatery featuring a 24-hour pizzeria and ice cream/frozen yogurt and a reservations-only supper club serving aged prime beef and other gourmet cuisine. The ship will also house 22 lounges and bars with interiors inspired by prominent design themes and styles of the past decades and centuries. Also featured will be a 14, 500-square-foot health and fitness center, an Internet caf?, ship-wide Wi-Fi access, a jogging track, a 214-foot-long serpentine water slide and the "Camp Carnival" and "Club 02" programs offering supervised activities and expansive facilities for children and teens, respectively. Freedom will also feature a variety of spacious accommodations, including spectacular penthouse suites and a wide selection of cabins offering dramatic ocean views from private balconies - ideal for scenic cruising. All of the ship's 1, 487 staterooms will include the new "Carnival Comfort Bed" sleep system with plush mattresses, luxurious duvets and high quality linens and pillows. Prices for the Carnival Freedom's 14-day transatlantic voyage begin at $799 per person based on double occupancy. Special rates for third and fourth guests sailing in the same stateroom, as well as round-trip air supplements from a variety of North American gateways, are also available. Call Pat for discounts! That's it from Boca Raton today. Hope you all have a terrific week! Teri |
