Cruise and Other Information

ALL ARE INVITED FOR ZOOM CRUISE BRIEF ON MONDAY AND IF YOU HAVEN'T RESERVED YOUR CABIN YET, WAIT UNTIL TUESDAY OR SOON THEREAFTER Message to all Special Forces cruisers: Thanks again for registering for the 2024 Special Forces Cruise.  We still have rooms available so please encourage former Teammates, Family members, and your Friends to register.  Even if they register for a different category, we can likely get them in a cabin close to yours. Most of you have received an email from Dream Vacations to reserve your cabin and make a payment.  Please make your cabin reservation this Tuesday so you do not lose your cabin category selection (we are working out a glitch in the reservation system).  We are maintaining an upgrade list for those travelers wanting to move to a different category and will start filling these requests in the next 60-90 days.  Contact Pete at specialforces2024cruise@gmail.com to be placed on any particular upgrade list. Note: The $125.00 per person pre-registration fee is for a unique Special Forces experience including memorabilia is not a deposit on your room.  The cabin reservation cost (based on category) covers the cabin, port fees, taxes, and gratuities. SFA Legacy Initiatives, Dream Vacations, and SFACON 2024 planning lead will be hosting several Q&A Zoom calls.  The first one is scheduled for Monday July 24, 2023 at 6:00 p.m. Eastern.  The link for this meeting is  https://us06web.zoom.us/j/85013052241?pwd=clVIMCtsSnVxRy9mWE8wWC9IV00xUT09   Meeting ID: 850 1305 2241 Passcode: 692565 For more information, continue to follow us at https://www.specialforcesassociation.org/sfacon-2024/ or https://www.facebook.com/groups/sfacon Thanks again for all your support.  Look forward to a great cruise!  De Oppresso Liber --  Respectfully, Kevin L.

You can elect to pay 100% of the cabin rate or 25% payment with the other three (3) payments due on Nov 1, 2023; Feb 1, 2024; and Apr 1, 2024. Note: There has been a 3.5% CC convenience fee added to the total cabin rate.  If you elect to pay by check or Zelle, then this fee will be refunded after full payment has been received.  We priced each cabin to be affordable for everyone and SFA Legacy Initiatives has to pass this fee along to the customer. You can elect to purchase travel insurance for your cruise.  This cruise is non-refundable so to protect your investment please consider travel insurance.  We will send out and post on the SFACON 2024 website FAQs to answer most of your questions.    Drink packages, internet, excursions, etc... will also be available later through the Carnival app. VISIT THE SFACON 2024 WEBSITE FOR UPDATES (Click Here) LIST OF THOSE ALREADY REGISTERED FOR THE CRUISE (Click Here) FIND A ROOMMATE (Click Here) The rooms are designed to have two occupants. If you don't have someone to come with you, we have started a forum where folks can go and find someone to defray the cost of the room.  JOIN OR RENEW YOUR MEMBERSHIP WITH THE SFA It is not required that you be a member of the Special Forces Association (SFA) to join us on the cruise, only that you be Special Forces qualified or the family or friend of a Green Beret.
