CRUISE NEWS The Newcomers and
Newcomers Alumni will be going on a joint 7-day
cruise beginning Sunday, January 30, 2011, on
Royal Caribbean's Voyager of the Sea. We will
leave from Galveston so no air is necessary.
The ports are Cozumel, Grand Cayman, and
Falmouth (Jamaica). The latter port is now
being used by most RCCL ships going to the
Western Caribbean, including the Oasis and the
Allure. The port is described as the "Caribbean
Colonial Williamsburg" and should be
interesting. Grand Cayman is very British and
among the wealthiest islands. There is a lot to
do in Cozumel, including day-trips to the
ecological park Xcaret and the Mayan ruins at
Tulum, as well as sipping margaritas at the open
air bar on the plaza or lunching at
Margaritaville, Senior Frog's, or Poncho's Back
Yard. Tom and Ty Brewer have been on the Voyager class ships five times and give them their full endorsement. They report that the highlight is the Royal Promenade, which is really a spectacular, four-deck high city street lined with shops and restaurants. The ship also features miniature golf, in-line skating (hey, you never know...!), Johnny Rocket's, golf simulators, and an ice rink with ice shows. It carries just over 3100 passengers. All the specifics are in the
fact sheet at the end of this newsletter. If you are
interested contact Tom or Ty Brewer at 261-6741 or
tbbsr@alumni.utexas.net.
To get the best cabins, it is wise to book early and pay
the deposit. You can cancel with a full refund of your
deposit up to the final payment date of November 20th. GOLF SCRAMBLE The new late-afternoon, nine-hole format continues to attract more golfers, so we're doing it again in September. Beginner to scratch- men and women-- all golfers welcome. It's a scramble, so your ability doesn’t matte; just come have fun! Live Oak will remain open for burgers etc. if there is sufficient interest, so please indicate yours when you reply. Date: Thursday, September 2 Time: 5 p.m. Place: Live Oak Golf Course RSVP: Tom Cain golf@thomasgcain.com Include your 18-hole handicap if you have one and your interest in dinner. Questions?
