Kazapalooza 2023

 We’ve been talking about it since the beginnings of KP…and this summer we are doing it…We are excited to announce that the 2023 KP will be a 3 night Kaza-cruise-a-palooza.

We will leave Orlando Friday afternoon, June 23 spend Saturday at CocoCay Bahamas, cruise all day Sunday and say goodbye Monday morning, the 26.
We will have a block of rooms and will all get to eat our dinners as a group. There will be built in activities for the teens which makes me very excited! Well there will be activities for all ages but our group has become heavy on teenagers 😊Prices will be in the ballpark of $500 give or take per person for the inside cabin, and upward depending on the type cabin you choose. Not per family but per person.
Remember all food is included the entire cruise, even at CocoCay, except for alcohol and I understand there are packages for that.

Here is the information regarding the booking.
We are using our own Kaz mom, Erin Eckert, to help navigate our way through this. All bookings should go directly through her. Let me repeat, all bookings should go directly through her. If you book outside of her you will be responsible for all your own arrangements and we can’t guarantee you will be included in all activities etc. She will only have access to help those she books.
First, before calling Erin, you will need to decide what kind of cabin you’d like to book.
You can look through the options here…
The price per person will depend on the room you choose. The inside cabins with the $500 average price point sell out quickly.
*This is important! I have blocked 50 rooms for us. Depending on availability, I hope we can add more if necessary. Unlike hotel rooms, they are not held for us. On the cruise, it’s first come first serve. You are not booked and your room saved until your deposit has been paid. So time will be of the essence.
I am reserving rooms as a block so that our dinner times will be at the same time which will be 5:30. We chose the earlier one so we could finish up in time for evening activities. If you miss dinner, no sweat, there is always food available somewhere on the ship. We will most likely have a dining room to ourselves which will be very nice!
Also when you call Erin, you will need to know your drink package..
You can look at the options here
If anyone is active military she will want to know that too.
She will need to know if you want travel insurance or not…while not mandatory, it is recommended. You can purchase through Royal Caribbean, an outside company, or sometimes your credit cards will offer it. This is out of my wheelhouse so please ask Erin any questions you have.
Each room booked will also be given a $50 onboard credit that can be used on drinks, souvenirs, tipping, etc.
We are still discussing the possibility of planning a group optional excursion. We will update you on that possibility as soon as it is decided or confirmed.
Please remember Erin is one person helping with our entire booking so please be patient. Erin will make a post with the best way to contact her for questions and information and of course how to book, so please watch for that.
We are super excited about our Kaza-cruise-a-palooza and spending time with old and new friends!

A few housekeeping items. Please email me at e.herman@magicalvacationplanner.com to complete your booking. I cannot respond to all the FB messages. You can check room availability and pricing and even choose a specific room on the Royal Caribbean website. When you email, please let me know the FULL names and DOBs of everyone, what type of room you are booking, a good phone number in case Royal Caribbean needs to reach out to you, and whether you want trip protection. It will take me a few days to get to everyone, but we will get it done!! I am prioritizing those who need handicap-accessible rooms first. Please be aware for this particular cruise, trip protection is running about $59/per person. It is recommended but not required. Here is the info officially from Royal Caribbean: https://www.royalcaribbean.com/.../travel-insurance-program. Thank you, guys!!!
