Dear Fellow Cruisers,
WOW! Here we go. As I have mentioned so many
times before I love to travel. I really enjoy poring
over the details of a trip and planning it as much as
actually going on it. Planning the Senior
Bachelor Group Cruises has been no different!
Not only will we be experiencing a first class cruise
line, Holland America (your #1 pick!) with
Five Star dining, entertainment, activities
and an amazing itinerary to Alaska packed with views
and Adventure-- we get to have our own group
parties, events and meetings. It's like all we
have
done so far rolled up into one HUGE seven day
extravaganza!!
Take a look at the ships we will be
on:
And here are the respective itineraries:
Zaandam Sailing- August 11-18, 2006 From and
To
Seattle!
Westerdam Sailing- August 20-27, 2006 To and
From
Seattle!
And like we all saw when we negotiated our special
Senior Bachelor Group rates for the hotels at the
Meet the Senior Bachelor Events in Manhattan Beach
and Chicago, for the Odyssey Cruise and for all the
great group dinners-- together, as a group,
we negotiated much
better rates! This is no different. Here are
just some of the great EXTRAS I was able to
negotiate for our group:
You've seen how much FUN we've had together at all
of our Events (click here to see photos!!) And, if you
have ever been on a
cruise, and particularly a Holland America Cruise, I'm
sure you had a great time. Imagine how much more
FUN, entertaining and meaningful it is going to be to
go with a group of friends and share all
these great times! And, our Senior Bachelor
group rates for
the cruise are less than what you will find by
booking
yourself on Holland America's own website.
Look at all the exclusive Senior
Bachelor
entertainment I have planned when you book
your cruise with the Senior Bachelor
Group: (Note: you will only be able to
attend these
events if you book through the Senior Bachelor Group)
Again, you will only be able to attend these special
group events if you book with the Senior Bachelor
Group as explained below. And these cruises are
open to
anyone you wish to invite! So bring your family,
friends and, most important, any men you
know who would want to meet, literally, a "boat load"
of
wonderful women!!
Following is the basic information for the (2) cruises
to Alaska next summer. Please read it carefully and
decide what best fits your calendar, tastes and
budget.
Prepare the information we talk about below, visit
the Holland America website for more information,
prepare any questions you may have and then call!
I HIGHLY RECOMMEND you reserve your
berth as soon as you can, as Alaska is
amazing in the summer, and Holland America is a
fantastic cruise line, and berths will go quickly.
Here's what you should start thinking about
before
you contact us to book your cruise.
Please understand that all funds are paid directly to Holland America and the $350 deposit is 100% refundable up until the end of May, so you have nothing to lose by making your reservation right away!! 
Many of you have cruised before and know that there are several categories of cabins based on size, location on the ship and availability of a window with a clear or obstructed view. These are called "Categories" and are listed as letters or combinations of letters. Below are the general categories of cabins available for the Zaandam cruise and their respective price ranges. Ship- Zaandam, Sailing August 11, 2006 from Seattle, returning August 18, 2006 Inside Cabins
Prices: $1,009 to $1,229 per person based on double occupancy.
Outside Cabins- Ocean View,
no
obstructions
Prices: $1,341 to $1,549 per person based on double occupancy.
Verandah Suites with a usable balcony (the balcony has a lounge chair, table and chair)
Price: $1,949 to $2,149 per person based on double occupancy.
Deluxe Verandah Suites (can accommodate up to 4 people)
Price: $3,049 per person for each of the first two persons
Something "Suite" to consider! If you are part of a group of four who wants to share a Deluxe Verandah Suite, consider this. The total price for all four of you is calculated like this- $3,049 for the first two persons and $599 for the 3rd and 4th persons- for a total suite cost of $7,296. If you divide that total by four (4) the cost per person ends up being $1,824 apiece. Something to think about!!
The Westerdam is a different ship than the Zaandam and has different prices and one more choice of cabin type. Many of you have cruised before and know that there are several categories of cabins based on size, location on the ship and availability of a window with a clear or obstructed view. These are called "Categories" and are listed as letters or combinations of letters. Below are the general categories of cabins available for the Westerdam cruise and their respective price ranges.

Price: $3,179 per person for each of the first two persons
Something "Suite" to consider! If you are part of a group of four who wants to share a Deluxe Verandah Suite, consider this.

Other Items to Consider: Cancellation Policies For information about the Cancellation Policies- that is, if you decide to cancel your booking within 75 days of sailing, please click here or read below: Holland America Cancellation Policy For most cruises and cruisetours, a full refund (except for amounts paid for Cancellation Protection Plan) will be made for written cancellations received by Holland America, 300 Elliott Ave. West, Seattle, WA 98119 at least 76 days before the date on which you are to commence travel (by air, rail, sea or otherwise). Passengers who cancel after that date for any reason, including medical or family reasons, are subject to the following per-person cancellation fees:
For certain cruises and cruisetours, different cancellation policies apply. Please consult the brochure for your cruise or cruisetour to confirm the applicable cancellation policy. Given that the resale of cancelled space will likely result in a lost opportunity to sell other space, these fees are due regardless of resale. Fees incurred as a result of cancellation cannot be applied to future bookings. Refunds will normally be made to your travel agent. Travel agents may impose their own cancellation fees. Agency fees of any nature are a matter to be decided on solely by the agency and passengers. Name changes require the prior approval of Holland America and may not always be possible. Cruise and Cruisetour Contracts are nontransferable. Name changes and departure date changes are considered reservation cancellations and are subject to cancellation fees.
