Hi, Everyone!



I just wanted to pass some info on to you about our cruise, an to personally invite you to join us.



Thank you, and take care!



Ren'ee Rentmeester

Creator/Executive Producer

"Traveling Without Trouble" TV Show





For Immediate Release                                                                                 



NEW TRAVEL TV SHOW  FOR PEOPLE WITH DISABILITIES WILL TAPE ITS FIRST PROGRAM ON A  CARIBBEAN CRUISE OCTOBER, 2009



“Traveling Without Trouble”--- from the producers of “Cooking Without Looking,” The First TV Show for People Who Are Blind/Visually Impaired, will tape its first episode aboard the Emerald Princess Oct. 11-18, 2009, it was announced by Vision World Foundation, parent company of the two TV shows.



The cruise, a fundraiser event for the Society for Accessible Travel & Hospitality and other organizations, will travel from Fort Lauderdale, FL to Princess Cays, Bahamas; St. Maarten; St. Thomas; and Grand Turk.



Cruise passengers will have the opportunity to be a part of the LIVE audience for both “Traveling Without Trouble” and “Cooking Without Looking,” now entering its third season.



“This cruise is truly going to be a thrill for us all,” says Ren’ee Rentmeester, Creator/Executive Producer of both shows.  “Imagine how exciting it will be for cruise passengers to enjoy the relaxing tropical breezes of the Caribbean aboard the elegant Emerald Princess, and also participate in a LIVE taping of a brand new TV show as well as a TV cooking show.  It almost leaves you breathless.”



After two years of working to create “Traveling Without Trouble,” a TV show for people with special challenges who love to travel, Ren’ee found the perfect team of Away U Go Travel and Pisa Brothers Travel, both of New York, and Princess Cruise Lines in California. “The extreme professionalism of these organizations helped us to smoothly navigate the waters of this truly special event,” says Ren’ee.



“On each show, we will feature people with different challenges; i.e., blindness, hearing impairment, physical disabilities or multiple sclerosis, or who are required to take special medications such as insulin,” says Ren’ee. “Then, we will tape them in various travel scenarios, and find out how they overcome their challenges, thereby offering travel solutions for all our viewers.” 



 Future shows will be taped in airports, trains, amusement parks, and on public transportation, to name a few.



“Cooking Without Looking” will also be taped onboard the Emerald Princess cruise with hosts Celia Chacon, Sabrina Deaton, Allen Preston and Annette Watkins, all of whom are blind or visually impaired.  Several blind audience members will be invited to cook with the hosts during a taping which will air at a later date.  Sighted cruisers who want to participate in the cooking will be blindfolded.



“This show is going into its third season on PBS in South Florida, and is popular among sighted, as well as blind and low vision people,” says Ren’ee.  “Food and cooking have no boundaries.”



Nova Southeastern School of Optometry underwrites “Cooking Without Looking”.



With all the excitement of the TV show tapings, the fundraising cruise still starts at only $594. There is a $50 shipboard credit for early booking, and exclusive shipboard amenities will also be offered, including a “Night of Light,” a fundraising cocktail party to bring disabilities out of the darkness, and to have our guests savor the inspiration we gain from each other, disabled or not.
