The Vacation of Your Dreams!

Imagine yourself experiencing the warm, salty breezes of the Caribbean Sea as you take in the sunset from the upper level of a vast cruise ship! You’ll be able to toast to another day in paradise as the sun melts into the crystal blue water and the night life awakes aboard an all-inclusive 5 day/4 night cruise of the Bahaman Islands.
The ship leaves from Miami, Florida bright and early on Saturday, September 18th and travels through the tranquil waters of the Caribbean, stopping at three ports of call including: Freeport, Nassau, and Andros Town.

(The ship returns to Miami on Wednesday, September 22nd.) Shopping, dining, and local attractions await you at each and every port. While aboard the ship, you will experience gourmet meals, swimming, gym access, spa services, organized activities and games, exciting night life, dancing, shows, or… nothing at all! You choose! All
of this is available for the low price of $399/person for inside cabins and $499/person for sea view cabins. You may also upgrade to a suite for $599/person. (Taxes not included.) This is a limited opportunity as the ship will fill fast, and prices like this will not be offered again! How are we able to offer paradise at this price, you ask?

This is a maiden voyage for our cruise line, and we are extending savings to you to introduce our services. All we ask is that you fill out our nightly survey on your experiences on the ship. If you are interested in reserving your room on a spacious, brand new, luxury cruise ship for its maiden voyage into the Caribbean Sea, please
email me at CarolWatkins@CarribeanCruiseLine.com. The vacation of your dreams is closer than you think!

Subject: Caribbean Cruise

Dear Carol,

I am very interested in being a part of Caribbean Cruise Line’s maiden voyage, but I have a few questions before I make reservations with you.

Does the price include transportation to Miami?

1. Do I need to have a passport to go on a cruise?

2. What are the differences in the sea view cabins and the suites?

3. What does the entertainment on the ship include?

I look forward to hearing back from you as I don’t want to miss out on an opportunity like this! It sounds very exciting! Thanks in advance for answering my questions.

Sincerely,

John Werner

3. What are some activities guests can enjoy aboard the ship?
