The planning committee has been busy gathering information and looking at cruise options for the last few weeks. We have narrowed down our choices and would like to now present all the information to you so you can help choose our TAFRU 2014 Cruise.
Our two choices of cruise lines are Royal Caribbean and Norwegian. Our reasons for selecting cruises from these two lines were simple - committee members have cruised with them before and have had enjoyable experiences. In addition, they have prices more reasonable than some other cruise lines and we wanted to keep costs down as much as possible in each cruise category.
This post will provide you information regarding group services on the two cruise lines and a choice of 8 different cruises along with links to the cruise information. After looking thru all the information, please participate in the poll on the right hand side of the page. The poll is broken up into 2 separate polls (4 each). You can choose up to 3 cruises total between the 2 polls. Please vote no later than July 20th.
If anyone has any questions or would like to leave a comment, please click on Comments in the gray area at the end of this post. We will be checking comments on a regular basis and will respond.
