[Nfbf-l] NFBF 2014 Cruisevention Cancelled

[Bill Kociaba]

the only age restriction for cruising is that an infent must be at least six
months old by the date of sailing.  That is etched in stone but otherwise
there is no max age restriction. Different cruise lines have different rules
about the minaum age of the oldest in a cabin unless Mom and dad are next
door or right across the hall. For example on carnival if both in the cabin
are not over 21 then one must be at least 25.
Not sure if there are any issues like that with NCL but again if mom is next
door or directly across the hall its a mute point

Dan:
What are the rules regarding the age of adults and children?  Just
interested.  Joe and I had not yet signed up because of ongoing medical
tests needed to be resolved before making a long-term commitment.

Concerning the Cruise Raffle Tickets - For what amount is the cruise
coverage and for how many  days ? I am assuming the winner selects his own
/her cruise line preference.
