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: Cruise Status
Many of you have responded stating that you are interested in or are
planning to attend the USS Horne 2009 Reunion to be held onboard the 855
foot Carnival Elation. We had a great reunion in 2003 and we feel this
2009 edition could be even better. There is just one slight problem I'm
hoping you can help me with.
=============================================================
VERY IMPORTANT - PLEASE READ CAREFULLY
=============================================================
Slightly more than 50 people responded to say they will attend or are
interested in attending the 2009 Reunion. Unfortunately, this just isn't
enough people to meet the minimum attendees required in order to get the
Carnival rates we were quoted.
We had over 3 times that many people attend the first reunion in 2003...
(with only 500 people listed on the decklog) so I'm confident we'll have
even more attend the Reunion Cruise (now with nearly 1,100 people listed
on the decklog).
And... more than 150 people have signed up to receive the Reunion
Newsletter... so I know the interest is there... I just need to hear
from you!
So please... once again... if you are going to attend or are INTERESTED
in attending the 2009 Horne Reunion Cruise please email me and let me
know.
I'll be meeting to form a new Reunion Committee next week and the first
order of business will be to take these numbers to Carnival.
So... EVEN IF YOU'VE ALREADY CONTACTED ME ONCE... I need you to email me
if you are interested in attending the 2009 Reunion so I can get an
accurate count. Kind of like in Florida... we need a recount!
Just send an email to ic-@usshorne.net.
Thank you!

If you didn't get the first newsletter, you can read details about the
reunion, cruise and cabin rates below.
===============================================
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.
