When do we want to cruise?

What we have decided...

• We will be leaving from the port of Tampa
• A number of general use sewing machines will be provided in a dedicated meeting room.
• Stitch 210 sewing machines will be available for rent for those wanting their own on the ship.
• Tenders - requiring boats to get to shore - will be avoided. 

Example Quilting Tour

Nothing has been committed to at this point. We are also talking to Norwegian Cruise Line out of Tampa (a day later). But the Princess Cruise is a good example for our initial discussion. MK Quilts would coordinate quilting and longarming activities. The cruise lines can make sure people's rooms are in the same area of the ship as any resources that may be established such as sewing machines and conference rooms for presentations. Dining times would be synced if so chosen. These would be booked under a group number.

There will be other activities for men/spouses that do not quilt - including machine maintenance discussions, receptions, and card playing.

(Norwegian is running a $50 per person down payment special.  All prices are for example only at this point.  Use it for general budgeting guidelines.)

This example would be on Princess's newest ship, the Sky Princess.
