<p class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="font-size:12.0pt">Due to the COVID-19 global pandemic, we have had to make the difficult decision to postpone our NFBMD cruise. However, the good news is that we have locked in the same deal for the same itinerary for 2021.
And, because we have more time, we opened up additional cabins that may be reserved. Anyone interested in making a reservation should contact our travel agent, Cindy Kiper at
<a href="mailto:kkiper@cruisesinc.com">kkiper@cruisesinc.com</a> or 813-418-0647.<o:p></o:p></span></b></p>
