Thursday, April 30, 2009

Dear SE/SW participants,

It is my deepest regret to inform you that the cruise and conference scheduled for May 7-11, 2009 has been cancelled. The cancellation was caused by the confirmed cases of Swine flu that has caused illness and death in Mexico and elsewhere throughout the world. This decision has been made by Carnival Cruise Lines and is beyond our control. According to a Carnival spokesperson, there were no viable 4 day itinerary options available for us given the current situation in Mexico. SE/SW board members and this year's hostess worked diligently to come up with a compromising resolution which would make the meeting possible, but our attempts were unsuccessful.

Carnival has come up with options for those booked with them. Below you will find a summary of options:

  1. Carnival will provide you with a full refund of the cruise fare. In addition, they will also provide you with a $50.00 per person credit when rebooking on any Carnival cruise departing prior to December 31, 2010. Refunds will be processed within three weeks.
  2. If you would still like to cruise, Carnival has a 7 day itinerary that leaves on May 9, 2009 from New Orleans. Carnival would then flip your trip (additional charges would apply. This cruise would not be affiliated with SE/SW)
  3. If you have non-refundable airfare, Carnival will give you $150.00 per person towards your flights with proper documentation.

If you have any questions, please contact a Carnival representative at 1-800-CARNIVAL so they can assist you with your needs.

We do plan to have a conference at a later date. We will post the date in the near future on our website. On behalf of the SE/SW board members I want to thank all of you for your continued support of our organization. With your help we are able to provide sleep technologists with the educational services that are needed for our careers.

Sincerely,
Shalanda L.Virgil
President
