** Cruise with Guide Dog Users of Florida!
Guide Dog Users of Florida and Cruising Canines invite you to come cruising Sept. 10-13, 2010. We'll be sailing on Royal Caribbean's Majesty of the Seas, departing from Miami and visiting Coco Cay and Nassau in the Bahamas.
Inside cabins starting at $276.50 per person; outside cabins starting at $306.50 per person. Rates are based on double occupancy and include cruise fare, tax, government fees and port charges. Valid passports are required by all humans. Guide dogs will require a Bahamian permit and international documentation stating that the dog is disease- and parasite-free, which is to be certified by a licensed veterinarian just prior to departure. Travelers are responsible for obtaining these documents at their own expense. To reserve your cabin, a $200 deposit is required. Final payment is due by June 30, 2010.
Trip cancellation insurance is available at an additional fee. This activity is a fund-raising opportunity for GDUF through Outta Sight Travel. Cruise Connection bus service is available from select Florida areas for $75 per person. Transfers from Miami or Fort Lauderdale airports are available through the cruise line. For more information, contact Gary at (772) 342-8246 or gmtravel@bellsouth.net, or Jackie at (772) 418-7937 or jacqueli0909@hotmail.com.
