On behalf of Michael and myself I would just like to thank each and everyone one of you for being apart of our special day! Nothing means more to us than sharing our wedding day with friends and family. We love you all.

The wedding is almost here! We will be leaving from Galveston, TX on Monday March 25 and sailing to Progresso/Yucatan, and Cozumel Mexico. The wedding will begin at 1:00 pm in the Oxford Lounge. All wedding guests arriving at the terminal by 10:00 am will receive priority boarding. If you are not at the terminal by this time, you will not recieve priority boarding and you may have to wait longer times to board the ship. Upon arrival on the ship, your rooms may not be ready. If you have medication or anything of importance that you might need prior to your room being ready, I encourage you to pack it in a carryon bag. All sailing guests will be able to feast on the delicious food on the Lido deck prior to the wedding....but save some room for the food at the reception.

For those of you who do not want to rush to Galveston on Monday March 25, I have secured a block of rooms at the LaQuinta Inn in Galveston for Sunday March 24. Rooms are priced at $80 a night. To make your reservation, please call 409-763-1224 and ask for the Collins/Smith Wedding block.

When we arrive in Cozumel, several members of the group have decided to book the "Passion Island Catamaran" shore excursion. The excursion will bring you to a private beach for 5 hours. Lunch buffet and free drinks are included. The price is $70 per adult and $50 per child 12 and under. The fee for this excursion can be paid once you are aboard the ship. This is not a requirement. There are several other things you can do in Cozumel that are free.
