*****ATTENTION Cruisers!!!*****
Carle Hurst (our Travel Agent) has sent out your Carnival Individual Reservation Numbers IF you have paid for your cabin in full. Check your spam folder for her e-mail if you didn't see it. Contact her if you didn't or if you need to pay your cabin in full.
Now that you have the Carnival individual reservation number, you can go to the Carnival website and attach it to your account or create your cruise account. Please book your excursions through Carnival in your cruise planner. This is the reason we wanted you to have your carnival reservation number. From there you can make your shore excursions, order drink packages, WiFi, spa services, etc. We will cover this and do a demonstration on each step this Tuesday at 8pm EST.

We have had 409 take our survey so far. Just to clarify, all members traveling can take the survey (not per cabin), especially to get your input on theme nights, activities, interest in symposiums, etc. Just don't double count a specific SF Group affiliation, there will be a selection that matches your status. You may not be able to take the survey from the same e-mail (it will not let you take it twice), so you may have to take it from a separate computer, phone, account.
Click this Link to Take Survey: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/CW7XQN9
(If you answered a survey before and it didn't have 11 questions, please retake this survey as it gives you more options). This is a different link than the first survey.
The results will help us prepare events in Tampa, symposiums/reunions on the ship, and some interesting demographics one who is signed up for this adventure. I will post the results in my next cruise update.
Here are the questions in this survey:
1. What era Green Beret are you, the family or friend?
2. What SF Group Affiliation are you? (You can choose more than one answer if you have been served with multiple groups) - Right now 5th SFG is leading the way.
3. What pre or post cruise activities would you be interested in? (You can choose more than one answer)
4. What type of Briefings/Symposiums would you be interested in attending during the cruise? (You can choose more than one answer).
5. Sometimes cruises will have a dress theme night. What type themes would you be interested in? You can choose more than one answer. We will likely have 3 x theme nights during the cruise. Obviously we can't force you to participate if you aren't interested, but it typically makes the cruise a lot of fun.
6. Will you be flying into Tampa (TPA) or driving?
7. Upon arrival to Tampa, are you staying in a Hotel, staying with a Friend, or showing up the day the cruise departs?
8. Are you on our Private Facebook Page? We put out many updates on that site and great place to ask questions about the cruise. The site name is called: SFACON 2024 Special Forces Association Convention
9. Any other information or question that you think would be relevant in helping us plan this reunion?
10. Are you a current Special Forces Association (SFA) Member?
11. If you are not currently a member of the SFA, can you tell us why?
