RootsMagic has announced a new genealogy cruise, this time to the western Caribbean on one of the largest cruise ships in the world, the Royal Caribbean Liberty of the Seas. And what better time to go on a cruise to sunny climates than Valentines day week?
The cruise will depart Miami, Florida on Valentine's Day, then visit Labadee, Haiti; Ocho Rios, Jamaica; George Town, Grand Cayman; Cozumel, Mexico; and then return to Miami on February 21.
The days at sea will be filled with classes. Some of the classes will be specific to Roots 4 but numerous other presentations will be held on a wide variety of non-software topics. The speakers will include: Bruce Buzbee, George G. Morgan, Drew Smith, Gary Smith, and Diana Smith. Each speaker will be teaching several classes on a variety of subjects.
For more details on the cruise, visit: http://www.RootsMagicCruise.com.
I would check this cruise on popular web sites like vacations to go and cruise deals. Price seems way out of line ? I just got back from a 11-day cruise for same prices as this cruise.

are there any more genealogical cruises coming up in 2009, that anyone knows about, or maybe a trip on amtrak?
thanks

That's really not a bad price, considering it's a week and there are speakers and meeting room fees and such.
If you book through another agency or online entity you probably won't be able to take part in the genealogy functions.
You would just be a passenger on the ship, not part of the group

I understand that you can't participate in the genealogy classes or the other activities (meals, shore excursions, etc.) with the group unless you book through Carefree. I can't wait to do another RootsMagic cruise!

I want to know about the price. I definitely want to go for a trip with my family during the coming vacation. The cruise looks absolutely fantastic.
