****************************************************************************
2for1 Sale!  The South Seas of the Carribbean

October Special (I called up and it's during the MONTH OF OCTOBER ONLY)
(so if you can go in the next 30 days, you got yourself a good deal....!)

The classic Seawind Crown - 7 days crusies from Aruba, Every Sunday.
Itinerary:  Aruba, Curacoa, Cracas, Grenada, Barbados, St. Lucia

You cruise free when your partner pays a low special fare FROM $745.
3rd and 4th person in same cabin only $150 each.  Special low air fares are
available on request (I called and was quoted $250 round trip per person...)
Travel Writers say; "One of a kind interary, excellent service, superb 
cuisine on an extra spacious classic cruise liner with very large staterooms
and cabin amenities not found on other vessels; two swimming pools and even
an indoor squash court."!

Ship's Registry - Panama

Rates are cruise only from $745 per couple  

I called AAAABCo Cruise Center in South Miami (800-327-0699) and the $745
is for "bottom of the ship".  They have other higher fares if you want a
an outside stateroom for example, but still to cut your prices in half 
is unbelievably cheap.  
******************************************************************************

So, if you have the money and the time - a bargain can be had.

Has anyone who has been on this ship care to give their two cents worth...?

    	We didn't get as good a price for this cruise, but we did get a
    pretty good deal.  We are leaving May 31 1992.  The price was $830.00
    each, including Air to Aruba.  If anyone has been on this ship could
    you write up what you thought of it?  I will try to give a full report
    when we get back in June.

    I was just looking at an ad for this ship in Sunday's Globe.  Please
    post a trip report when you get back.  I'd be interested in what the
    ship is like.

    I just got off the phone with my travel agent, and he said that he
    could book me on the Seawind out of Aruba with airfare for $650 a head.
    Can someone respond to this cruise line?  I have to make reservations
    by 5-19.
    
    thanks,
