Hello Traveler:

You may have seen my e-mail on Thursday about our 19-night/20-day "Ocean to Oceean" cruise package aboard Princess Cruises' beautiful Emerald Princess. This trip was quite popular...for many reasons. The itinerary is fantastic, visiting some of the less visited ports, the price is right, and the inclusions are many. This package is almost "all inclusive". There are so many "extras" included such as round-trip airfare, the one-night pre-cruise package in Fort Lauderdale, transfers, an upgrade to one of the better balcony staterooms, and the "Princess Plus" package, including pre-paid tips, wi-fi, the Princess Plus "open bar" package, unlimited juice bar and more.

I am writing today because Princess just gave us 80 more spots for this cruise. If you called last week and we were sold-out, or sold-out of the mini suites, or you just didn't see it last week, you have another chance, I am resending the letter and the flyer. Take a look and give us a call, or use the on-line link, and reserve your spot!

Greetings from Sunny Santiago Chile,

I arrived here on Monday morning. Part of the group flew in on Monday, and the rest are flying in today. They will go right from the airport for a Santiago city tour, before checking in at the hotel. By late afternoon, all 275 people will be here. Tonight, we have a big "Welcome Dinner" here at the hotel along with a Chilean Folkloric show, with a big troupe of dancers and a live orchestra. Tomorrow, this group will board buses and make their way to San Antonio, Chile, where they will board Holland America Line's ms Oosterdam to begin their three-week cruise around South America and Antarctica.

Meanwhile, we have 440 Travel With Alan travelers completing the same cruise tomorrow morning. They began the same cruise three weeks ago in Buenos Aires, Argentina. They will leave the ship tomorrow morning and make their way to Santiago. They will stop along the way for some wine and empanadas. They will then have a city tour before coming to the hotel to check-in. Tomorrow night, they will have a "Farewell Dinner" along with the same Folkloric Show. On Thursday they will have a winery tour and a dinner before going to the airport to fly home. I will fly home with them on Thursday night, arriving back home mid-day on Saturday.

Lately, some of our most popular cruise offerings have been through the Panama Canal. A little over a month ago, we offered a 10-day partial Panama Canal cruise. Even though we had room for over 400 people, we sold-out the first day. Today, I'm pleased to tell you that I have put together an amazing Panama Canal cruise on a beautiful ship, Princess Cruises' Emerald Princess. And this cruise is an 18-night “Ocean to Ocean" cruise, from the Caribbean and Atlantic to the Pacific, with some unique ports of call along the way. This cruise includes two ports in the Netherland Antilles, in Bonaire and Curacao. It includes a stop in South America, in Cartagena, Colombia, and includes a day in Fuerte Amador for Panama City. It also includes stops in Costa Rica, Nicaragua, and Mexico. We combined this cruise with a one-night pre-cruise package in Fort Lauderdale, Florida to make a 19-night/20-day package.

Join our group on April 15th, as we fly from cities across the U.S. and Canada to Fort Lauderdale. Upon arrival in Fort Lauderdale, you will be transferred to our first-class hotel for a one-night pre-cruise stay. The next day will have a big breakfast at the hotel before transferring to Port Everglades. From there, we will board the amazing Emerald Princess for our journey from ocean to ocean.
