I am reposting this as there as been some interest from the Mississippi Board. Please know that this is for ANY wls patient (pre-op and post-op). Please e-mail me if you would like to join us.
We will be sailing on the CARNIVAL HOLIDAY leaving out of Mobile, AL on Thursday February 8th. Please e-mail Beth M @ [email protected] for more information or you can call me at 205-821-4144.
Where can you get a room and 24/7 round the clock entertainment and food for just $78/day? THE 2007 BAMA BOARD CRUISE!!!! 
Our Vacation Planner for the 2007 BAMA BOARD CRUISE is
Jean (sounds like John) Michaud
800-819-3902 ext 85703
Hours: 10:00 am - 7:00 pm (Mon-Thurs)
8:00 am - 5:00 pm (Friday)
Tell him your calling for the 2007 BAMA BOARD CRUISE. He has the plans listed under that or my name - Beth Merchant.
Jean is giving us some GREAT DEALS! Not only will we get the group rate, but we could also be eligible for other discounts. Pasts guests get a past guest discount AND a free upgrade. Military travelers get a Military Discount and he will do his best to accommodate an upgrade while there is availability. New Cruisers get an excellent rate AND he will do his best to accommodate an upgrade free of charge (while there is availability).
Right now we have a wide selection of rooms available to choose from. However, the longer you wait to cruise the less selection you may have. YOUR PRICE IS NOT FIRM UNTIL YOU HAVE CALLED TO RESERVE YOUR ROOM. He will hold this promotion for us as long as he can, but it is subject to change.
Jean has also advised that he will update our reservations if any future promotions become available that we are eligible for - WHICH MEANS WE CAN SAVE EVEN MORE MONEY!!!
The prices below include all meals (even if you eat 10 times a day), juices, coffee, tea 24/7. It includes your port charges and your cabin for the entire cruise. Prices are per person based on double occupancy. A 3rd or 4th passenger in the room will have a lower rate. Please ask Jean.
If you need a roommate, please let me know and I will keep a list of those needing a roommate so you can contact those that would like to be paired. I will post these on the Carnival Connections page that I set up. I will need your e-mail address to include you on that distribution.
The cruise will sail on Feb 8th (Thursday) and will return on Monday.

Hey Michelle,
Did you get the e-mails that I sent? I hope that you found the information helpful. There was also one e-mail where I needed to get some information from you. If you need for me to resend it, please let me know and I will be glad too.
I am so excited!!!!!
Beth M Yes, we had one couple to book this week. We have 4 people coming from Georgia and 2 people from Louisiana. This is in addition to the 13 people already booked from Alabama. I know of 6 more that will be booking. This is not intended for any particular support group or any particular state. It was planned strictly to celebrate WLS as a pre or post op.
I hope that you will join us.
Beth
