Hello all:

June 1, 2010 is the final call for deposits for the Cruise Fundraiser for 
NAGDU - The National Association of Guide Dog Users.  After June 1st, I will 
not be able to hold these staterooms.

Here is the full information on this cruise.  Also these prices are the best 
you are going to get on this ship, since these staterooms were books back in 
December 2009.

Here is the information:

National Association of Guide Dog Users
7-Night Caribbean Group Cruise

The National Association of Guide Dog Users (NAGDU) has partnered with 
Cheryl Echevarria, a member of NAGDU and Owner of Echevarriatravel.com, to 
sponsor a 7-day Caribbean Cruise for the benefit of NAGDU. For every person 
booking passage on this cruise, $25 will be donated to the National 
Association of Guide Dog Users with a matching contribution of $25 from 
Echevarriatravel.com

The National Association of Guide Dog Users (NAGDU) is a special interest 
Division of the National Federation of the Blind for people who currently 
use guide dogs as mobility tools, those considering getting a guide dog, or 
those who want to learn more about the use of such dogs. One of NAGDU's 
major projects is the establishment of a national toll-free education and 
advocacy hotline that will provide on-demand access to information about 
guide dog use, including information about state and federal laws that 
protect the civil rights of service animal users. This hotline will also 
afford callers the ability to speak with a specially trained volunteer 
advocate to help resolve access issues. All Proceeds from this cruise will 
be used to support this innovative service and other valuable programs of 
the National Association of Guide Dog Users.

Nickelodeon will be the featured family brand on Norwegian Jewel and

NEW YORK-Jan. 13, 2010-Norwegian Cruise Line today announced a new
