...so count me (and the husband) in for two definite maybe's.  :)

Now THERE is a committment, Jill.    ;D

I'm in, providing that I get to go to the seminar that year. 

Rick, if the committee decides to have a cabin as a raffle prize, would it be possible to make the raffle open to all AFTE members, not just those that are allowed to attend the annual meeting?  That would be a surefire way to bring funds in.

Online raffle? Now that is "uncharted waters" ha!

Also, if you want to put your name on the list (even the definite maybes) we can start on the initial headcount: email ettravel@q.com.

I think Tori introduced a great idea....not just for the cruise.  Most agencies and individuals are facing budget constraints, so winning a raffle for a free room or registration fee might be the only way to get to attend.  I agree that opening up some raffles would generate a greater interest (participation) to produce greater interest ($ in the bank).

And to get back on the topic - off-season or not, it is on my bucket list - definitely yes!

BTW,
Although I am still working out the kinks on my weather machine. It has been dry and sunny for two weeks, temps 60-75. (2014 will be this time)

Okie Y'all.  Princess will be announcing rates for the May 17th 2014 sailing from Seattle to Alaska within the next month. We have about 20 AFTE members that have already expressed interest. The more bookings, the more upgrades and discounts that will be available. If you are interested in email updates, email "Tom Cruise" at ettravel@q.com or you can visit www.aftecruise.org.
Tom is giving a Q&A session at the 2013 Albuquerque meeting and he will be manning our 2014 booth there during the week to answer any questions.
stay tuned for updates

Thanks!
Rick

A few more details below. Remember there will be a complete presentation in Albuquerque.
 
"The Golden Princess, will depart Seattle on Saturday, May 17, 2014, cruise to Juneau, Skagway, Glacier Bay National Park, Ketchikan, Victoria, and return to Seattle on May 24, 2014.  This is a fantastic cruise itinerary to see the best of the "Inside Passage" Alaska.  The announcement from Princess on the 'group' prices will be released next week on March 14th.  I will then send out prices on specific stateroom categories such as Inside (no windows), Ocean View (window), or Balcony stateroom.  Prices range accordingly and I will reserve an arrangement of various stateroom categories with prices for the AFTE group. To add your name to the email list contact ettravel@q.com"

Hello,
The website has been updated with the cruise schedule. The AFTE group rates have been announced and one member has already booked. Contact Tom (ettravel@q.com) for more info. He will be sailing as well to help anyone out who needs it. 

Also, the AFTE 2014 host committee will provide transportation to the cruise terminal from the Westin hotel Saturday am.

More soon.
Thanks!

Rates are announced, but not posted on the forum. Too many options and prices to make sense on a webpage. Email "Tom Cruise" for that.  Sorry for confusion.

Greetings all,
The deadline to book the AFTE cruise after the Seattle Meeting will be Jan 15th. In addition, my Dad has arranged some better prices, which are retroactive to those who already booked. Yaay!


Details for the cruise are still on the webpage: aftecruise.org

Out of curiosity, how many AFTE people have booked so far?
 
Unfortunately we're probably not going to be able to do it  :'( .  Between maternity leave and a possible trip to France next year I'm not sure about a second week-long vacation in 2014.
