spouse and friends. Call today: 1 800.597-2452, press
option 2. Give the Travel Counselor our Group Service
Code number: G820-068, our Departure date: December

Will I get seasick? No, there are no crashing
waves! We're on a river not the open ocean. You truly
forget you are even on a boat!
Private bathrooms? You bet! Sink with storage
space, hair dryer, toilet & and shower. Plus dressing
table and mirrored storage cabinet in each cabin.
Elevator? An elevator connects all decks.
As well as short flights of stairs.
Do We Dress for Dinner? This cruise is very
informal. There is one dining room and one seating
for each meal. Wine is served with dinner each night.
Dress is very casual, though many of the ladies like
to wear a Christmas-y sweat shirt by day or sparkly
sweater in the evening, especially for the Captain's
Welcome or Farewell Dinners.
Onboard Mini Miniatures Show ~ A wonderful
selection of dealers, many whose names you know well,
are signed up to travel with us, bringing their handcrafted
items to participate in the onboard mini miniatures
show. If you're a dealer and would like information,
please contact me privately. Everyone will receive
a dealer list before our departure date.
Workshops: Optional onboard workshops won't
interfere with any other activities. They're designed
especially for our cruise! Make a Nuremberg Kitchen
pocket watch, a tinier version of antique ones on
display at the internationally renowned Nuremberg
Toy Museum. You'll want to make a charming Christmas
Stall, a small-scale version of ones we'll see at
the Christmas Markets we'll visit. Class times won't
conflict with onboard shows or scheduled events, you
can do it all! Or nothing at all….it's your choice,
all the time!
QUESTIONS? Don't hesitate to contact me with
any questions. Call Grand Circle Travel today, just
dial 1800.597.2452, press 2 and give our Group Code
G820-068 and our Dec. 2 Danube Christmas Markets cruise
departure date, it's the only way you'll be booked
with our group.
Call today for a selection of cabin decks and location.
Remember, all cabins are outside cabins. The top deck
has balconies. The second and third decks have picture
windows. The 4th deck has smaller windows. We are
in our cabins very seldom…primarily to sleep!
When we're cruising, you'll no doubt be in the lounge
or the dining room where we're surrounded by expansive
windows, with uninterrupted views….you may even want
to go up top for some incredible Kodak moments.
If you have any problem in making your reservations,
don't hesitate to call me at once. (703) 978-5353
or mollycromwell@aol.com.
Or call with any questions.
Remember, deposit deadline is NOW and no later than
July 1, 2008.
This cruise is so much fun! Don't miss it. Husbands
and non-miniaturist friends rave about the good times
they've had.
2009 Trips & Cruises: I'm working on
2009 now. If there's a place you've longed to visit,
let me know. I'm in the business of making wishes
come true!
