Hi Everyone,
Here is some exciting information that I know you’ve been waiting for about the blogger’s cruise. First let me explain that because this is a special hotel package that includes transfers we have a special booking process. Please do not call the hotel or Carnival directly to make reservations. To make reservations please email me at socialnetworking@carnival.com with the following information:
1. Number of nights staying at hotel
2. Occupancy (single, double, triple or quad)
3. Guests names (all guest names which desire the hotel package, may not be the total number of guests in the booking)
4. Flight arrival information
5. CCL booking number
We will process requests on a first come first serve basis and we do have a limited amount of rooms. I will email you to confirm I received your request and provide you with additional details at that time. The hotel information is as follows:
Maison St. Charles Hotel & Suites
1319 St. Charles Ave
New Orleans, LA 70130
Hotel rates are per person and inclusive of transfers, room and tax.
One Night Per Person:
$154
$91
$75
$66
Two Night Per Person:
$279
$154
$121
$105
This is the hotel where John, me and the rest of the Carnival team will be staying.
In a few days we will have a sign up form for the volunteer work with Beacon of Hope Resource Center on Feb. 6, 2009. Once we have a better estimate of participants we can provide detailed information. But as of now it looks like we’ll be meeting in the hotel lobby around 7:30 am with the volunteer project ending before 3 pm.
More details about the blogger’s cruise are on the way and we hope to see you in Feb.!
Check back in a few hours for John’s post.
Have a happy Saturday!
Stephanie

Happy Saturday ??? buh uhhh I’m not going AAYYYYY ED!!
Just as an FYI, there are no Mardi Gras parades currently scheduled that would interfere with any of the activities.

And a question.
I see transfers are included, but some people will no doubt drive in.
I think that hotel usually has a cruise parking special. Or at least it did.
What about parking for those driving in?
Sadly, I shan’t be participating in this activity, as much as I would have liked.
C’est la vie.
Oh….I am so jealous. Have a great time. King Edward, are we still collecting books?
Hugs to all,
Lori

Dear John and Stephanie,
It looks like we’re all going to be one big, happy family! The majority of Big Ed’s Evil Krewe has been booked at this hotel for months! So nice to see we are finally getting some info coming in. We’re very excited about participating in the charity event.
Can’t wait!!

Sounds Wonderful.
My information is on the way.
Thanks for all your hard work on this, Stephanie.
OK John….the new baby got us.
Susan and I just called our Vacation Planner Natalie Savage and she got us a cabin on the bloggers cruise! We can’t wait to meet you and wish you and Heidi congrats in person!

Stephanie,
Thanks so much for all your hard work. Though I know alot of the folks in our CruiseMates group have booked hotels, I’ll post on our site to pass on the information to those who were waiting to hear the Carnival package details.
And I’m thinking you need to talk John & Heidi into letting the bloggers do a “name the Heald baby contest”. Sure we could hear some “interesting names. I’m kinda of partial to Happy Heald
Regards,
Kuki

i would love to enter my baby on a baby contest because she is very nice and talented ~`”
