Class of '64 2008 Cruise Itinerary

Class of '64 Cruise Information

05/01/06 - Well, we did it.  The Cruise was an absolute awesome event.  Those of you who elected not to go, really missed a blast.  There were fourteen of us that went from the classes of '60 thru '64.

     We left Long Beach on Monday, April 24th at 5:00 PM for Catalina Island.  We anchored out at Catalina Island and took small boats called "tenders" to shore Tuesday morning.  While on Catalina Island we rented two four passenger and one six passenger golf carts and toured the island.  The sights were fantastic.  After turning in our carts, we walked the streets and some shopped while others window shopped or sat around waiting on the shoppers.  (Mostly husbands waiting on wives).

     We sailed from Catalina Island to Ensenada, Mexico and went ashore Wednesday morning.  Jean "Bailey" and Ken Ainsworth retired to Ensenada a couple years ago, and we met up with them and took a van ride to La Bufadora "The Blow Hole".
     We found a little Restaurant/Cantina named Habana Banana where we hung out for most of the day.  They had a 50's/60's Rock-n-Roll band and Gene, Janet and Jean got up and sang with them.  We also visited the geysers at La Bufadora.  We went to Jean and Ken's house and visited with them for a couple hours.  They have a house right on the beach.

     We sailed out of Ensenada Wednesday night and spent all day Thursday and Thursday night at sea and then disembarked Friday morning, where we met Manual and Maria "Santos" Garcia.

Most had to get started for home, but Terry and Rita Chappell, Gene and Marianne Luker and Richard and Martha Navarro went to breakfast and spent a few hours with Manual and Maria at a local Denny's.

05/31/05 - We have the information for the cruise.  Click Here  for Cruise Ship amenities.

 We also have a couple brochures (requires Adobe Reader): Enjoy The Value and Life On Board.

Everyone will have to make their own reservations.  Call or email Janet green.go@frontier.net / 970.882.5414 or Gene geneluker@genmar.net / 918.286.6581 for anymore information.

They offer several discounts, i.e., military, senior, retired Amtrak, etc.  Ask Mike when you get him on the line.  Janet and Jimmy and Marianne and I just booked with the military discount for $310.65 per person and there are more rooms available next to us if you want.  We booked Interior, but there are Ocean Views right across the hall from us at this time.  Mention Janet Green when you call Mike.

Our Personal Vacation Planner has all the information and he is:
Michael Alvira
Phone:  800.819.3902  Ext. 82439
email:  malvira@carnival.com

Mention Janet Green to Mike for reservations.

Mike suggested using the phone, rather than email because he doesn't get an opportunity to check his email very often.  He also warned that these prices change almost daily.  So don't delay if you plan on going.

A $150.00 per person down payment is required when the reservation is placed and can be paid by credit card.  It is refundable up to sixty days prior to sailing date.  The balance is required by February 22, 2006, and can be made in payments if desired.

A DD214 and DL is required for military discount.  The secure fax line for the DD214 and DL is 305.406.6301.

05/27/05 - The cruise has been set for April 24, 2006 with Carnival Cruises.  Janet is working on the details and we should have them posted here in the next couple days.  Be sure and check back.

05/17/05 - We are going to get together and start looking at dates for our cruise. Anyone interested, we would love to have you join us.  Right now, we have set the time for 6:00 p.m. on the 27th at Celia's.  That place & time may change if we decide to move it up the mountain to Boulevard (Golden Acorn Casino). Kris has to work that day and she and Otto wouldn't be able to make it to the valley until late.  Now that I think about it, that may be a better choice so that our San Diego area people could attend.  I'll let you know when we firm everything up.

Notice - The meeting has been set for Golden Acorn Casino on May 27th at 7:00 p.m.  I'm sure everyone from THE valley and the San Diego area knows where it's at, but in case you don't it's located about 45 minutes from El Centro and 60 minutes from San Diego on Interstate 8.  Click Here  for map and directions.  For the casino site Click Here
