[Nfb-krafters-korner] I'm home!

Wed Nov 23 14:21:35 UTC 2016

Good Morning Nella, I would think that some if not all cruise lines have 
relief areas for guide dogs or other service animals.

Nela,

The per night cost of a cruise is usually between $125 - $300 and up per 
night per person.  The numbers of nights on board start at 2 and go up from 
there.  Now, that does include food, but not taxes, fees, travel insurance, 
ground transportation, gratuities , and obtaining a passport if you do not 
already have one (unless it is a cruise that stays within the United States 
boundaries, but these are limited and are usually smaller ships).  There are 
deals to be had for significantly less money, but they are usually for last 
minutes bookings and for less desirable room accommodations.  I have no idea 
how the cost for conference space compares to those at a hotel or conference 
center, but given the limited cruise ships that could handle a convention 
the size of the National NFB, that I shudder to imagine.

I do know that some people have taken a cruise via their own arrangements 
either before or after the National Convention since they were already in 
Florida.  Keep in mind that summer and during the December holidays are the 
most expensive time to go on a cruise.

Now do not think that I do not like cruises, because I think they are one of 
the best options for vacation, especially for families and groups who have a 
wide range of preferences for leisure activities, as well as a great option 
for allowing independent mobility for people with low or no vision.

One of my friends thinks that the NFB should have the national convention on 
a cruise line.

The ships are huge and could probably hold everyone and have room for all 
the events.  I'm not sure how they would manage so many guide dogs on the 
ship.

It would be an interesting time.

Terry P,

Sometimes there are some really good deals on cruises out of Baltimore, plus 
for you, you would only have to deal with the cost of ground transportation, 
and not airfare and ground transportation.  The Port in New Jersey has deals 
as well.  Although the trip there would be a bit longer for you, there are 
sometimes buses that pick up in the Washington Metro area and go directly to 
the port.

I enjoyed it, because I had never been on a large ship.  Sounds like a 
little town on the water!
That’s one adventure I will never get to enjoy, unless I win the lottery!!!
Her chance to make jewelry, was also interesting!
Her friend was using a walker, so its nice to know, a ship can accomidate 
most handicaps.

Other people on the call had also taken cruises. So it was fun. Hope you got
