Thank you for subscribing to the USS Horne Reunion Cruise 2009
Newsletter. This newsletter will be used to inform you about the USS
Horne 2009 Reunion Cruise. Feel free to snail-mail or email this
newsletter to fellow shipmates who may want to attend. If you received
this email from a friend and want to subscribe just send an email to
hornereunio-@topica.com.
1: Overview
The USS Horne 2009 Reunion will be held onboard the 855 foot Carnival
Elation. According to the Carnival Website:
True to its name, you'll feel your spirits soar as soon as you board the
Carnival Elation. Relax in the sun on the teak-planked decks, or plunge
into any of the three refreshing swimming pools. Make your way to any of
the eateries for a delicious meal. Or, roll up your sleeves and try your
luck in the friendly casino before turning your attention to the
exciting nightlife.
You may read all about the ship and take virtual tours by visiting:

Engineers may be interested to know the Carnival Elation is the first
passenger vessel in the world built with the revolutionary Azipod
propulsion system. It looks like it will be a fantastic setting for the
next Horne Reunion. WE WANT YOU TO BE THERE! If you have any questions,
please feel free to email me.
Note! Passports will be required.

==================================
THE MAIN PURPOSE of this initial Newsletter is to gauge interest in the
Reunion. With over 1,000 former crew members now listed on the Decklog
we anticipate a good turnout and need to determine how many rooms to set
aside at the above prices for Horne Reunion Attendees. We are not yet
taking reservations... but if you are interested in and think you may be
able to attend the 2009 USS Horne Reunion, please email me and let me
know. We do not require a deposit at this time... we are just trying to
determine how many cabins to reserve at these prices. Once this initial
block of rooms is booked additional rooms may still be available but the
prices above will not be guaranteed. Since the reunion is 1 year away
the prices will almost certainly increase. So if you are interested in
and think you will be able to attend the 2009 Reunion Cruise please
email me and let me know ASAP!
IC-@USSHorne.net
Note... my email address has an anti-spam authentication process. Please
just follow the instructions and I will receive your email. Emailing me
now will enable us to reserve an appropriate sized block of rooms for
Horne Reunion attendees. Also... let me know how many people will be in
your party... and tell me which rooms you are interested in reserving...
(Inside, Ocean View, Suite etc)
We will soon provide instructions for you to contact Carnival and
reserve your cabins at the Horne Reunion Rates.
==========================================
That's all for now. Please email me as soon as possible to let me know
if you are planning to attend the USS Horne 2009 Reunion Cruise.
Hope to hear from you soon and look forward to seeing you at the
Reunion!
