A special Announcement from Carol Kelly
Title: “A Marriage Cruise”
Hello!

I was hoping you could announce for your congregation some last minute details.

One. make sure people are going onto Holland America to complete on board check in and the PRINT out their boarding passes and luggage tags. I believe this needs to be done three days prior. For some who have already done this they may need to go back and fill out added info (their middle names) and reprint.

Also, previously we were told there was going to be one formal dinner (men wearing jacket and tie with women dressing up); well now the dinners are all smart casual.

I think that is it!

Thanks,
Carol
