ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
All guest 21 and under must be assigned to a cabin with an adult 25 and older. However, once everyone boards the ship we can mix however we like.
Gratuity - Carnival suggest cruisers prepay your gratuity at $34.00 per person. HOWEVER, that is a suggested amount ONLY. Each person will be able to tip (provide gratuity) at the end of the cruise based on the service received. It is customary to tip those who serve you, so please be prepared to tip about 5-8 people at the end of the cruise (waiter, water boy, the person cleaning your room, the person turning down your room, if you drink… the bartenders & waitresses, and anyone else who has the pleasure to serve you while you are at sea).
Air Travel - We are looking into securing a group rate for the family. More information to come in December when airfare becomes available for August 2013.
REGISTRATION - All Names must be as it appears on valid government issued identification (Driver's License or State Identification Card) or valid passport at the time of travel. This is a must that names are correct prior to boarding both the plane and ship because there will be issues.
Family Dues - $50.00 per Family Household for 2013 ONLY, DUE March 1, 2013.

Hope all is well. We are slowly but surely approaching the final due dates for payment for the Walls Family Reunion. Just wanted to touch basis on a few things and get clarification on the following:
2. Can you please remind everyone that name changes/cancellations at this point maybe subject to additional service fees.
3. Remind everyone that if they do not have passports, they must bring their valid government identification along with their birth certificate. Students need to bring their school identification if they do not have a government issued identification. However if you are traveling with your passport, you need to bring the passport.
4. Special Needs Request forms, if guest have any special needs request and have not emailed or mailed it to me that I need their request immediately. Carnival requires this to be submitted to them no later than 14 days prior to sailing.
5. Finally, for those interested in shore excursions, they can contact me to reserve in advance because they will sale out if purchased onboard the ship.

FAMILY DUES
$50.00 per Family
Due 3/1/2013
The purpose of collecting Family Dues is to ensure the reunion continues annually without burdening any host family with administratvie expenses. Family Dues, just like every year, are in addition to the cost of the reunion and is expected from ALL families regardless of attendance.
However, the 2013 reunion does not require the full family dues because of the conveniences on board the ship. Thus, the Host Family Committee estimated the administrative cost to be covered at a lower amount.
You can pay your family dues on this site by credit card, or paypal's Bill Me Later, or by mailing a check to the Committee Chair directly. Make checks payable to Kommah McDowell.

Please note: Family Dues will resume as normal for the 2014 Family Reunion
