2024 Cruise - February 3 - 11

As of May 20, 2023, there are still a few spaces available. The Carnaval Glory will leave New Orleans with stops in Key West, Freeport, Half Moon Bay, Nassau, then back to New Orleans. Motor coaches to and from New Orleans are too expensive. We have decided to car pool or drive ourselves to the Port. Plans, on spending a night in New Orleans before returning to Gulf Shores, are still ongoing. Rooms available are interior ($731), Ocean View ($876), and Balcony ($1146). Please call Robin Kimble if you are interested. 615-319-0426. Have your passport with you when you call and let Robin know if you have traveled with Carnaval before.

Low Country Boil Follow-up

Thank you to all who purchased tickets for the Low Country Boil. After expenses the LCB committee was able to make a donation of $4,500 to the Alabama Gulf Coast Zoo. The committee also purchased a large brick at the Zoo entrance in memory of Jerry Wallace, life-time Michigan Club member, who was one of the original members of the boil committee and served as co-chair for many years before his passing in 2020. Thank you to Walt and Bernice Salisbury for representing the Michigan Club on the LCB committee and working at the event along with other Club members.
