..........OUR 10th ANNIVERSARY SEMINARS AT SEA CRUISE

Join your fellow Innkeepers on an 7 day Cruise the week of January 9 - 16, 2010 for a memorable Marketing Cruise aboard the Norwegian Pearl in the Sunny Caribbean.

Reserve early, so as to assure your participation in 2010!

Our 2010 seven-day Cruise will head south out of Miami to Samana; St. Thomas; Tortola and Great Stirrup Cay in the Bahamas.

Sandy Soule will be one of our featured speakers for this upcoming Cruise. Sandy is a well-known travel writer and is a key member of the BedandBreakfast.com/Inns.com/RezOvation team. She offers a unique perspective on the B&B industry, derived from her decades of experience as a freelance writer, book author, editor, and Internet pioneer, combined with the fact that she's visited more inns than anyone else in the United States.

Other Speaker arrangements are not complete at this time, but as in the past, our speakers are pillars of the Bed & Breakfast Industry whose knowledge on operations and marketing is invaluable to all of us. Seminars are given only on the days when the Ship is at Sea and the speakers will take part in round-table discussions on one of the days when we are at sea. This way, these experts can help answer your questions on B&B operations and marketing, and this interests all of us.

NCL's Freestyle Cruising ships will make you see the world from an entirely different vantage point. These ships features a wide array of world-class amenities, activities, and entertainment. There are rooftop Garden Villas, connecting staterooms, private balconies, diverse and exciting restaurants, Broadway style theaters, 24-hour fitness centers, world-class spas, Internet Cafés and most offer dazzling casinos with the newest slots and table games afloat. So treat yourself with a no-rules, freedom filled cruise in the sunny Caribbean.
