Fantastic Opportunity from NCL!!

NCL Corp. will reflag and rename the Pride of Aloha and launch it as Norwegian Sky, offering three-day and four-day Bahamas cruises from Miami starting this summer. The 2,002-passenger ship, built in 1999, will be outfitted with Freestyle 2.0 enhancements. The vessel will be the youngest sailing short cruises to the Bahamas from Miami.

To welcome the ship to Miami, NCL is offering a "Kids Sail Free Summer Vacation" promotion for reservations on Norwegian Sky made from May 6 to May 31 for sailings taking place July 14 to September 26, 2008. Children ages six months to 17 years are eligible to sail free, although government taxes and fees and fuel supplement charges apply. Norwegian Sky four-day cruises will depart Miami on Mondays and make full-day stops at Grand Bahama Island, Nassau and Great Stirrup Cay, NCL's private island. On Fridays, the ship will sail a three-day itinerary, departing Miami at 5 p.m. with all-day stops in Nassau and Great Stirrup Cay, returning to Miami at 7 a.m. Monday. These sailings are scheduled through April 17, 2009.

Norwegian Sky will enter a wet dock in Miami during which a casino will be added. In addition, the ship will receive the significant product and hardware upgrades that are part of the company's major fleetwide initiative, Freestyle 2.0. These enhancements include a major investment in the total dining experience such as all new menus and Lobster Galore, upgrading the stateroom experience, new onboard activities, and additional recognition, service and amenities for balcony and suite guests.

This is a fantastic opportunity for any of you families out there with young children to experience a shorter cruise vacation at an incredible price. The four-day sailings in particular have a great itinerary with stops in the Bahamas and a fabulous stop at Great Stirrup Cay, NCL's private island.

Please remember there are only limited quad and triple cabins available on any ship, so you will need to make your reservations as soon as possible to ensure the availability. And, the program ends for good on May 31 so you will need to make reservations by then to qualify for this tremendous discount.
