Just Six Spots Left – Prices Go Up This Friday

The Science at Sea team spent all of today going over the final details for the coolest shore excursions. Our naturalist, John Scheerens, visited our offices today before heading to Alaska for the season. John gave our team a sneak preview of his Science at Sea Lecture Series, and I know that you’re going to love what he has to share. As John shared his great content, the rest of us brainstormed hands-on activities that you’ll be using in your classroom to make all of this great information come alive.

Our AAA Travel Coordinator, Gina MacDonald,  gave us the good news that our Science at Sea adventure is nearly sold out. There are just six space available (and she has 10 e-mails from people who are interested in joining our group). If you still have not paid your deposit, your space will be up for grabs after Friday. If you have any questions, please contact Gina MacDonald right away by e-mailing her at gmacdonald@colorado.aaa.com

Good News from Carnival – Lower Fuel Prices Reduces Your Costs!

Editor’s Note – Regardless of when you booked your Science at Sea cruise with Carnival, you get to take advantage of these price reductions. As the price goes down so does your final payment!

I just received notice from Carnival Corporation that they are suspending the fuel supplement for cruises departing on or after December 17, 2008 (this includes Science at Sea!).  All bookings for cruises departing after February 5, 2009 will be adjusted to remove the fuel supplement.  This means that you can deduct $63.00 for the 1st and 2nd guest and $28.00 for 3rd and 4th guest in the cabin from your balance due.

Please note that Carnival reserves the right to re-instate the fuel supplement for all guests at up to $9.00 per person per day should the price of light sweet crude oil according to the NYMEX increase above $70.00 per barrel.

Please use this blog link to stay posted on these updates. It’s much easier to get information out to everyone all at once. If, however, you have specific questions about your trip, you’re always welcome to contact me directly at GMacDonald@colorado.aaa.com

Space is filling fast!  To date, we have 65 people registered and confirmed with new inquires every day.
