Call for prices for 3rd and 4th persons in the cabin. You must have your own group of 3 or 4-please have the names with their deposits available when you reserve your cabin.

Balance due: June 5, 2010 Periodic payments may be made.

These prices below are valid until November 15th! After that date, prices may go up-or there may not be any lower priced cabins left on the ship. This cruise tour SELLS OUT rapidly! Reserve now.

Very important Special note about prices and our present economy: If our nation's economy continues to be on the down side, we expect the above prices to go down, but they will NOT go up if reservation is received on time. The prices of our 2009 cruises had three price reductions because of the economy. If any price reductions are allowed for this cruise, you will receive the price reduction. So there is NO advantage to waiting if you want to be included in our group of single adults. If you don't pay your deposit within the next few months, however, the cruise line may take cabins away from the group! Also, be aware that a fuel surcharge may be assessed if the price of crude oil reaches a pre-determined mark.

If you don't have a roommate, we'll match you with someone who also needs a roommate! This is a big advantage of an Adventist singles cruise-we have fun being with others of like faith and standards.
Please note the small print!

You will notice there is no air travel on Sabbath. We have established the price as low as possible, and because of limited availability of cruise cabins, we may not have a speaker. Volunteers are invited to help plan our nightly vesper/worship sessions. If you would like flyers to pass out to your friends, please contact us.

Royal Caribbean cruise lines was chosen because of the many things to do on the ship and the quality of the tour itself-planned for those who enjoy a more active cruise! Date of the cruise/ tour was chosen to take advantage of LOW rates at that time of year. Because Alaska Cruise/Tours are so very popular, the cruise line has restricted our initial booking to 16 cabins (32 passengers). We may be able to get more cabins later, but this is all for now! The ship is filling up fast with other passengers! It is imperative that you book your space and pay the initial deposit as soon as possible! All deposits are fully refundable up to 70 days prior to sailing. Payment by credit card is preferable-checks accepted. Please note that taxes are subject to change (but unlikely), even if you have a confirmed booking. Triple and quad accommodations are available, but there is little difference between double occupancy cabin and the per-person price for triple or quad. There is a larger difference with a balcony cabin. We add the total amount, and divide by 3 or 4, so that each person pays the same amount. Changes or cancellations to your cruise/tour may be subject to a service charge, such as one person canceling in a double-occupancy room. You may substitute another name. Name changes after June 10th are subject to fees.

Valid Passport will be required, and expiration date should not occur within 6 months following cruise. Non-US citizens will need the original copy of their unexpired "green card". You may arrange your own air transportation, or Royal Caribbean can arrange it for you. Transfers may be purchased from the cruise line. Travel insurance is available either with Royal Caribbean or with Access America (arranged by Angelfish Cruises). Much more information about the cruise/tour, accommodations, packing, disability access, gratuity guidelines, shore excursions, etc., will be sent to you by email-very important that we have your email address-upon receipt of your deposit.
