Welcome to "Cruise News" for 12/11/05.

     Last month I announced the TENTH ANNUAL FREEDOM CRUISE
sailing to Hawaii on February 19, 2007.  Now, as promised, you can see
newly created web pages by using the link at the end of this message.  They
include pictures and drawings of the various staterooms. I invite you to send
me an email to receive additional information.  By the number of responses
already received, this will be our best annual cruise ever!

     25% of our allocated staterooms have already been reserved, all by
FREEDOM CRUISES "repeaters".  These folks have enjoyed previous
Annual Cruises and don't want to miss out on the fun.  If you've ever
traveled with us, I'm sure you'll recognize these friends.  If you've never
traveled with us, I hope you'll plan to join us for the first time.  Half of
every group are new cruisers.  There are many singles as well as couples.
In fact, I already know of some singles who would like to share a stateroom.

     Please let me know if you know (or are) a single who would like to consider
joining us.  You can have a stateroom all to yourself or share with another single.
To reserve a stateroom, you need only make a deposit.  (It is fully refundable, if
you have to cancel before 12/6/06.)

    I have also written a recap of our recent Philanthropy Cruise to the
Western Caribbean.  At this recap page you'll see photos with a link to some
extra photos taken by Erika Sanborn, one of our first time cruisers.  Thanks
Erika for your photographic skills.  See Erika and Rex Bell swinging through the
forest canopy in Jamaica !!!

     You can enjoy the "Cruising Experience" and learn more about our Hawaii
trip by reading these "Cruise News" issues.  Starting in January, I'll be introducing
"A Day on the ms ZAANDAM", a log for our 2007 Hawaii Cruise.  Even if you
can't join us for our TENTH ANNUAL cruise, you can enjoy it vicariously by
reading "Cruise News".

     Reserving early is the way to get the best choice of all categories of staterooms
at the lowest fares.  Don't wait; let me know of your interest now!

Have a Happy Holiday Season!

Ken
