Cruise
for scholarships
The University Women's Association (UWA) invites faculty and staff to help
raise funds for UWA scholarships by signing up for a 10-night cruise of the
Caribbean. The cruise, which begins Jan. 10, 2006, will explore many of the
lesser-known ports on Radisson's Seven Seas Navigator, including including
Key West, Cozumel, Belize City, Santo Tomas de Castilla (Guatemala), Roatan
Bay Islands (Honduras), and Costa Maya (Mexico).
The
Navigator is an all-suite, all-ocean-view vessel featuring marble
baths and separate showers--and 90 percent of the suites have
private balconies. Prices begin at $3,198 per person for the
10-night cruise, not including round-trip airfare to Ft. Lauderdale,
port charges, taxes and transfers. Radisson will return the equivalent
of one cruise fair for every 10 people who sign up for the UWA
cruise, and 100 percent of this money goes towards scholarships
for SFSU students.
Guests
who book by Sept. 30 receive a two-category suite upgrade.
