>> Because of Norwegian's promotions that are being offered right now, I was
>> able to re-negotiate our group cruise rates.  Norwegian discounted all 
>> the
>> cabin categories and gave us an even bigger discount on the inside rooms!
>> Here are the new rates:
>>
>>
>>
>> Inside Cabin * = $434 + tax per person (This is $220 per person less than
>> before!)
>>
>> Ocean View Cabin = $774 + tax per person
>>
>> Balcony Cabin = $1,134 + tax per person
>>
>>
>>
>> * I am still offering a discount of $20 off per person for the first 5
>> inside cabins booked by March 1, 2009!  That will give you a rate of only
>> $414 + tax per person for these 5 cabins, but it needs to be booked by
>> March 1, 2009!
>>
>>
>>
>> Also, for whoever books by March 13th, an on-board credit of up to $75
>> will be offered.  For those who are interested in having 3 or 4 people in
>> a cabin, the 3rd and 4th person rates are only $99 + tax per person on 
>> ANY
>> category!!!  This special rate on the 3rd & 4th person will also expire
>> March 13, 2009.
>>
>>
>>
>> I wanted to also let you know that dog liter boxes are also available to
>> have in the cabin, upon request, for those who are bringing their sight
>> dogs.  The cruise line is limited on their supply and should be reserved
>> as soon as possible, but these boxes would be really nice to have in the
>> cabin to avoid having to go to a different deck for the relief sight.  I
>> recommend booking a balcony cabin if someone were planning on having 
>> their
>> dogs with them --- the rooms are bigger, and then there would be plenty 
>> of
>> room for the liter box.  The cruise line would then empty the boxes on a
>> daily basis.
>>
>>
>>
>> Another bit of information I wanted to point out, I have started a list 
>> of
>> "single" travelers that would like to go if matched up with a roommate.
>> So far I have one female and one male looking for a roommate.
>>
>>
>>
>> Help get the word out --- these are fantastic rates to a destination that
>> normally does not come down in price!  Even with these incredible prices,
>> the NFBO will still receive $100 per cabin booked and will receive a 
>> bonus
>> donation for every 8th cabin booked.  Remember, only $275 per person is
>> all that is needed to reserve a cabin; and all but $25 per person is
>> refunded if canceled prior to June 5, 2009 (the final due date).
>>
>>
>>
>> Thanks, again!
