In the wake of our recent, successful weekend cruise to Ensenada, Mexico, when 11 G.O. members ate and laughed their way up and down the Pacific, Great Outdoors Santa Barbara/Ventura Chapter is pleased to announce two new cruises scheduled for later this year. Working together with Cruise Bargains Inc., we have secured some of the best prices per day, EVER!

Our first venture is another 3-day cruise, on Carnival Cruise Lines' Paradise, to Ensenada, Mexico. We will leave Long Beach on Friday, August 27, at 5:30PM, and cruise overnight to Ensenada where we will spend all day Saturday shopping the antique stores and mercados , then cruise a full day at sea on Sunday, returning to Long Beach at 8AM, Monday, August 30.

Rock-bottom pricing for this 4-day, 3-night cruise is $429 per person/double occupancy for an ocean view cabin, which includes all port charges and taxes. Price does not include alcohol, gambling or photos, but DOES include an upgraded cabin, transportation to and from Ensenada, all meals--including breakfast, lunch and dinner seating in one of two fine dining restaurants, all-you-can-eat buffets, 24-hour room service, all on-board entertainment including Vegas-style reviews and comedy shows, and access to the gym and spa/steam room.

Prices for this trip range, per person/double occupancy, from $418 for interior cabins to $888 for a suite with balcony. If three or four travel in the same cabin, prices drop dramatically. Again, all prices include $128.89 in port charges and taxes. You will be amazed at the food, service and the on-board activities offered.

The second cruise that I have been able to secure is a most amazing deal that is hard to believe. On Carnivals' newest and most beautiful ship, the Splendor, a 7-day cruise, December 12-19th, Sunday-to-Sunday, from Long Beach to Puerto Vallarta, Mazatlan and Cabo San Lucas and back to Long Beach, is only $78 per day for an ocean view room--or--$549 for all seven days, again including all port charges and taxes! Prices for this cruise range from $468 per person/double occupancy for an inside cabin, to $788 for a balcony suite! This is a special price that I have guaranteed with Cruise Bargains.

If this is your first time cruising, you will have a blast and you will not believe the actual bargain in travel this really is. Please consider joining me to end your summer, or to get away from the holiday madness in STYLE!

This is a GOSB/VC Trip, but all bookings need to be done through Cruise Bargains Inc., at 1-800-213-7777. Please talk to Amy or Sue and tell them you are calling about Sean's Great Outdoors Cruise.
