Dear Super Cruisers,We would like to take this opportunity to remind you that your *$100 per person deposit* for the 2010
Super Cruise on the Carnival Dream is *DUE BY MARCH 28th.* Many of you have already sent this deposit to us and we thank you for it. However, for those who have not yet done so, we cannot stress that
you must have your deposits in by the date specified so that Cruises Etc can include your name(s) with the package that will be forwarded to Carnival. Per our contract agreement with Carnival, they must receive
names and $100 per person no later than March 30th -- which means we have to mail an overnight delivery package by Saturday March 28th. Cruises Etc will be spending our time on that day preparing the list
and payments for Carnival therefore we will not have the ability to answer phones on that Saturday. Please do not risk losing your $50 Onboard Credit by missing this deadline! We will not be mailing you
another reminder. This information was clearly stated in the mailing we sent with your confirmation invoices. Also mentioned on the bright orange flyer that was in your confimation is that your second
deposit of $150 per person is due by May 25th. Those who used credit cards will have charges automatically un against your cards. Those who made cash or check payments: we will not be sending additional
reminders....so you may want to circle the date on your calendar.
Additionally for 2010 -- BALCONY CABINS, as usual, are in great demand. At this time we are "technically" sold
out and can only request additional cabins from Carnival *after *we have submitted our client names and deposits. If you are holding a balcony cabin but fail to send us your deposit before March 28th,
you will lose that balcony cabin. We must, in all fairness, give those cabins to other cruisers who have given us a deposit for them.
The response to our early booking Onboard Credit Promotion
and our return to Carnival Cruise Lines has been fantastic. Presently, we have nearly 500 cabins committed to and we're still in March! Despite the depressing economic situation that
has hit some harder than others, many people do recognize their need to plan and take vacations. Cruises Etc is pleased that we have been able to offer budget friendly Super Cruise rates to you. We think it was
good of Carnival, in these trying times, to work in lowering our prices and to allow us to split your deposit into two increments, making it less of a financial crunch.
We took a trip down memory lane just
the other day and Kevin pulled out some of our old Super Cruise brochures. Do you realize that in 1995 our entry level interior cabins cost over $800 *PLUS* taxes & port fees? That was our second
Super Cruise and now, over fourteen years later, our entry level prices have gone down so dramatically that you could get onboard the 2010 Super Cruise for only $720 *INCLUDING *taxes! Ships have changed
dramatically too -- the still-under-construction Carnival Dream will be so innovative and so much "more" than ships we've sailed in the past, it's not even fair to compare them! We can't wait to
sail on this amazing ship!
Lastly, please remember to have your newly referred friends, neighbors and relatives mention YOUR NAME when they are booking the Super Cruise. We are looking forward to
awarding Referral $$$ during the Super Bowl but your names have to be in the pool in order for you to have a shot at winning. If you think you may have folks that have booked based on your recommendation and
you want to verify this, please contact us. It's simple to call or email and only takes a minute to get an answer that may prove profitiable for you!
Best Regards
