Time
is running out to reserve your space on the Ultimate Cruise
Adventure 2010. The cruise group is hosted by Lincoln College
and will set sail out of Ft. Lauderdale, FL January 23-30, 2010.
The cruise, which is open to the public, is a seven night
adventure which will visit three ports of call: St. Thomas, St.
Maarten, and Nassau, Bahamas. Cruise-goers will set sail on Royal
Caribbean’s newest cruise ship Oasis of the Seas, the largest and
most revolutionary cruise ship in the world, which will launch in
late 2009.
Lincoln College Alumni Relations & Special Events Coordinator
Kerri Taylor says, "It will be the vacation of a lifetime. The ship
will launch her maiden voyage in late 2009. She will be the largest
and most revolutionary cruise ship in the world! This ship has
something for everyone of every age! From the Spa, private cabanas,
lounge chairs and the solarium for quiet relaxation to the zip line,
FlowRiders, sports deck, H2O Kids Zone, carousel, Rising Tide Bar,
shopping, and so much more! Grab your family and friends and set
sail with us on this ultimate adventure. You'll get to enjoy this
amazing new cruise ship along with three beautiful and fun-filled
islands. Act NOW, over 75% of the ship is sold out already. Our
limited blocked space won’t last much longer. Pay a small deposit
now and final payment isn't due until Oct. 30, so there's plenty of
time to save up! We look forward to an unforgettable week! We hope
you'll join us!"
