PAMPERING!!!!!

Today I wanted to inform you about the Pampering we can expect!!

Holland America's ships were designed for Alaska cruising, with airy viewing lounges, wraparound decks and private verandahs that offer guests the chance to experience-in intimate elegance-Alaska's glaciers, wildlife and scenery. Here are just some of the things we can look forward to:

Spacious public rooms adorned with fine arts and antiques.

Luxurious Euro-Top beds and premium linens.

Large, extra-fluffy Egyptian cotton towels, plush bathrobes, magnifying mirrors, stylish new hair dryers. Refrigerators, televisions and DVD players.

Fresh fruit in room.

A diverse choice of dining venues:elegant main Dining Room; and fresh cooked to-order specialties in the relaxed Lido Restaurant.

Complimentary 24-hour in-room dining.

Lunch and dinner menus created daily and seldom repeated.

Extensive wine list, featuring wines highly rated by Wine Spectator.

The Culinary Arts Center will have the Master Chef offering tips for preparing salmon 50 different ways.

A new, expanded Greenhouse Spa & Salon with massage rooms and thermal suites.

An interactive learning center.

The largest staterooms of any major cruise line in Alaska.

Cozy wool blankets on each teak lounge chair for comfortable deck viewing.

Complimentary hot cocoa and split pea soup served on deck mid-mornings.

Menus designed to feature fresh Alaskan specialties such as king crab legs and grilled salmon.

A Park Service Ranger on board to provide fascinating commentary on Glacier Bay National Park (wait until you see this!!!!).

A full-time naturalist on deck to provide insight into marine and bird life (amazing), geology, glacial process and natural succession.

A Native Artist-In-Residence program with lectures, small group sessions and hands-on crafts.

The Legends and Lore of Glacier Bay as told by Huna Totem tribal interpreters.

An extensive range of shore excursions, from native cultural tours to backcountry fishing and glacier flightseeing.

Imagine all of the above, plus the camaraderie of the some 100 people in our group, plus another 1,500 passengers on board. Also, Umberto will be on board to take wonderful photos for you (at no charge) and will also be videotaping our Journey!! Daily uploads to the Senior Bachelor website so you can show your family and friends what a great time we are having!

Every night we will have a group activity planned. If you are in the mood to attend, great, if not, no problem. I will share never seen before pictures of Grace Kelly, Monaco, The Palace and The Royal Family, and also a meeting one night about Oprah Winfrey and Hollywood and Film making for any group member who is interested.

We are more than 3/4 filled now, and these cruises always sell out in August. If you know of anybody you think would enjoy this cruise (or the following one August 20-27) PLEASE hit the Forward button and send this message along and have them contact me ASAP.

Should you have any questions at all, please e-mail me at richard@seniorbachelor.com .

I really look forward to our time together.

Very best wishes, Richard Roe
