[Njabs-talk] Looking for 20 people to go on the Norwegian Gem for a tour, lunch and meeting...

[EVELYN E. VALDEZ]

FYI: 

Good morning all:

 
 
I had mentioned this before but now it will become reality.
 
On Sunday, October 9, 2011 - Cheryl Echevarria of Echevarria Travel and 

active and graduate of GDF is having a day with Norwegian Cruise Lines.
 
For those who do not know October is meet the blind month, so what a great 

way to celebrate this.
 
This is being offered to anyone who is available to get to the Port of NY, 

which is 12th Avenue and 55th Street in Manhattan, Pier 88.
 
Because many have had issues in the past with Norwegian Cruise Lines and 

those who would just like to have the day to explore a cruise ship, find out 

what is involved in cruising, what is accessible, what advice can we give to the 

cruise lines.
 
It would start at 10AM and finish at 2pm. I am willing to get a local bus 

company to charter this for us, but it will be $20 per person, and there will be 

indicated stops in NASSAU and Suffolk County, possibly Queens as well, but that 

will determine how many are interested in this event.
 
We will not be leaving the port at all, but a government issued photo ID 

will be needed, if you have a passport even better.
 
It would be a tour of the ship of the staterooms, of the entertainment and 

food areas, recreation areas, pool areas, etc.
 
Lunch in one of their wonderful restaurants and then a Q&A with the 

Access Department of the GEM.
 
We are looking for all to join, guide dog users, cane users, wheelchair 

users, hearing impaired, etc.
 
Maximum of 20 people to go, so I will  be keeping track.
 
This is a great day to get us out, especially since October is meet the 

blind month. If this works well, I plan to offer this to our other state 

affiliates to get a taste of what to expect when cruising.
 
Please RSVP no later than August 10, 2011
 
If this works well, I will do it again in other states such as 

Florida
