Our 1990 Cruise aboard The Sovereign of the Seas was a tremendous success...

makes her way through the beautiful sun drenched blue waters of the Western 
Caribbean and as she sails under moonlight, star filled tropical skies.

program.  That is, round-trip air.  Passengers (including 3rd and 4th
berths) not using the Sea Bird Air program can deduct $250 from their
cruise fare.

Please make your arrangements early if you wish to go.  The cabins are on a
first come first serve basis.  The earlier you book the better you chance of
getting the catagory you've selected.

And the prices are...

Cat. Description                                Brochure         Our Price

L    Inside - two lower beds			$1395            $1145


Single Occupancy Fare

	Passengers requiring single occupancy of a stateroom within a 
	specific category will be charged 125% of the regular fare for 
	the selected accommodation.

				PLEASE NOTE

        The single occupancy bookings are not discounted.  The reason we 
	received a discount with Royal Caribbean for single passenger 
	bookings last year was due to an error made by their group
	travel department in quoting us prices.

	So, it would benefit those who planned on booking single occupancy
	to find a companion to come along and share a cabin.  This would 
	then give you the double occupancy discounted price.


THIRD/FORTH PERSON                                 $648     $648

	Including infants and children sharing stateroom with two
        full-fare paying adults.


PLEASE NOTE: All prices are in U.S. funds.  Rates are per person based on 
             double occupancy.  See category description and specify 
             requirements at time of booking.  
    
PORT CHARGES: All cruises, $59 per person, regardless of age.

US DEPARTURE TAX: $3.00 per person


A $250 deposit per person must be made within 7 days of your booking a 
cabin.  Full payment due to AAA 75 days prior to cruise since we are a 
group.  Please read information in a Princess 1991 brochure 
regarding Cancellations and Refunds or ask the travel agent for details.

                          REGAL PRINCESS

Her teak is from Burma.  Her marble from Carrara. And her fittings were
forged by Italian craftsmen in shipyards over 200 years old.  She is a 
masterpiece of the sea created by one of the worlds most gifted architects.
In the hands of Renzo Piano, best known for his daring design of Paris'
Pompidou Center, the silhouette of a dolphin evolved into the sleek, rounded
lines of a revolutionary new ship.  The crown-like observation lounge became
the focus for cruising's most unique entertainment complex.  A million-dollar
art collection was assembled to complement the vessel's dazzling design.  And
she was given incomparable spaciousness.  In her public rooms.  In her 
staterooms.  An on her wide, open decks.  This is the breathtaking Regal 
Princess.  A ship that redefines elegance and style.

The Pleasure Dome, the center of the action.  Coins tickle and spirits soar
with every spin of the roulette wheel.  Mingle at the bar.  Coffee, cognac,
an after-dinner liqueur.  Then follow the music onto the dance floor.  
Excitement.  Energy.  An ebb and flow of movement through the Casino and on
into the observation lounge.  Here the rhythm slows and softens.  Surrender 
to the mood.  Light shimmering through an iridescent screen casts a warm,
romantic glow.  It finds the two of you, resting head upon shoulder and
gazing thoughtfully out to sea.  It all comes together under "The Dome."

Worldly tonight.  Red chiffon and black tie in "Chianti."  You choose the 
Russian caviar with iced vodka.  She prefers a glass of her favorite
champagne, perfectly chilled.  Tomorrow, a day of sun, sand and sights.
You share it all with friends.  In "La Patisserie" the conversation never
falters.  Freshly-baked French pastries.  Hot coffee laced with Amaretto
and cream.  Later, a treasured memento discovered in the gallery of glittering
boutiques.  The perfect earrings to set off here new flowered silk.  Casual
yet elegant.  The Regal Princess is all this and more.

Rejuvenate.  Sun-dazzled skies above.  Shimmering pools and waterfalls below.
Tanned arms reach for frosted drinks at the in-pool bar.  Stewards offer plush
cotton towels.  Lounge chairs beckon amidst and expanse of polished teak deck.
Relaxed. Unhurried.  Time disappears watching the wake slowly roll past the 
stern.  You stir from your reverie.  Deckside buffet in the coolness of a
casual cafe.  Tempting aromas from the authentic pizzeria.  Then, a creative
drink in the rollicking "Characters" bar.  Sense the cooling colors of the 
day.  The gentle glories of the night.

Savoir fare.  The dinner hour.  Casual yet cosmopolitan.  An Italian flair.
Attentive waiters set gleaming silver on crisp white linen.  Pour French
wine into sparkling glasses.  And create tantalizing table-side dishes.
The Fettuccine Alfredo is perfect.  Rare Filet Mignon melts in your mouth.
Chocolate Souffle'. Cappuccino.  New acquaintances are soon like old friends.
In the show lounge, glittering entertainment from Las Vegas to Broadway.
Later, magic, comedy, and cabaret.  In the disco, your own show begins.
Watch.  Participate.  Exhibit.  Out on deck the false dawn tinges the sky.

The first pleasures of the day.  Awaken slowly to the unparalleled amenities
of your extra-spacious stateroom.  Colorful fabrics of mohair and wool.
Furniture wrought by skilled Italian designers.  Carpets custom-made in
Holland and England.  And in your stateroom you've elected to enjoy 
breakfast for two.  Steaming cups of coffee.  Butter melting on freshly-
baked croissants.  Later, thick towels after a refreshing shower.  White
cotton and khaki from the walkin-closet.  And a quick review at the dressing
table and mirror.  No one accommodates you like the Regal Princess.

The Regal Princess.  The shape of things to come.
