The next Camera Club Council of Hawaii Convention will be held starting October 23, 2006. It will be a 7-day Hawaiian island cruise on Pride of Hawaii (newest ship of Norwegian Cruise Line).

Lvs. Honolulu on Monday, Oct. 23 at 8 p.m.
Day 1 - Hilo
Day 2, 3 - Kahului - 2 nights
Day 4 - Kona
Day 5, 6 - Nawiliwili, Kaui - 2 nights

Prices per person double occupancy are as follows:
Inside cabins:
KK - Deck 5 - $569 + $140 (fees) + $50.76 (taxes)=$759.76;
K - Deck 4 - $559 + $140 + $50.34 = $749.34;
JJ - Deck 9 - $589.00 + $140 + $51.59 = $780.59;
J - Deck 8 - $579.00 + $140 + $51.18 = $770.18;
II - Deck 11 - $609 + $140 + 52.42 = $801.42;
I - Deck 10 - $599 + $140 + $52.01 = $791.01.

Outside cabins:
F - $679.00 + $140 + 55.34 = $874.34.

Balcony:
$859 + $140 + $62.82 = $1061.82.

In addition, once on board, each person will need to pay $10/day for tips for a total of $70.00. Alcoholic beverages and soda are extra. Some people have said that this cost is expensive, but consider that about $100 a day includes lodging, transportation, and all the great food that you can eat! (We calculated that a 3-day trip to Molokai would be close to $470!)

For every 8 cabins that we book under CCCH, we get one free person double-occupancy (probably the cheapest room). We plan to split this discounted fare among all people who have signed up.

At each inter-island stop, we hope to make arrangements with each camera club on that island for day-trips for photography. Except for Kauai where we don't have any contacts with camera clubs, we will need to make our own off-ship photographing arrangements (optional).

If you're ready to book at the above prices, please call Linda at Regal Travel (808) 935-5796, #1 for Hilo location. Prices are subject to change; also the number of rooms that are available at these low prices are limited. If you're only paying for half of a double-occupancy, be sure that Linda knows who will be sharing your room & then that person will need to call in & make their arrangements to pay. Please be sure to state that your reservations are for the Camera Club, so that we can get credit towards one free person discount per 8 cabins.

If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me (sc_miyasaka@yahoo.com) or Joy (hilojoy@hotmail.com).
