Feb. 19, 2009 - Homeschool Cruise
Dear Homeschool Family, I would like to invite you and your family on a wonderfully educational, fun trip. We are coordinating a homeschool cruise! I have homeschooled my four boys for over 8 years, and am a veteran cruiser. My mother-in-law, who has been on dozens of cruises over the past 15 years, is working with me to bring you a wonderful vacation that will inspire and invigorate your homeschooling journey. Dates: November 1-8, 2009 Ship: Holland America Westerdam http://www.hollandamerica.com/cruise-vacation-onboard/Westerdam Itinerary: Leave from Ft. Lauderdale, At Sea, Grand Turk (Turks & Caicos), San Juan, Puerto Rico, St. Maarten, At Sea, Half Moon Cay, Bahamas, Return Ft. Lauderdale What makes THIS homeschool cruise unique is that we will be having many activities set up for the homeschool families that will be traveling together. Possible activities will include scavenger hunts, Game shows (ex. Jeopardy, Family Feud, etc.), Scrabble tournaments, sing-alongs, talent show/skits, lots of get-to-know-you activities and opportunities for both the kids and the parents to interact. On our two days at sea, we will have activities lined up all day to help make this a unique experience in travel for your homeschool family. Special pricing will remain in effect for the 1st & 2nd person rates until March 15. The 3rd & 4th person rates are subject to availability and cannot be guaranteed until booked, but should be available through that date as well. After that date, Holland America reserves the right to raise the rates, depending upon availability and how the ship is booking. If the prices go lower at any point, Holland America will give us the least expensive rate. Prices listed include all taxes, port charges and government charges. There is no fuel charge currently, but Holland American reserves the right to impose a fuel surcharge if oil prices go over $70/barrel.
