Travel Agent Newsletter October 2016

October 21, 2016

 

From the President’s Corner!

Dear Travel Partners,

I hope everyone is doing well and settled back in the routine of kids back in school.  My son and I are getting there.  On another note, we just had a scare with Hurricane Matthew, but were fortunate to be spared any serious damage.  We hope that those who were hit fared well.

As we can continue to evolve, SNG is always expanding our areas which we are able to service.  Special Needs Group has recently added the port of Mobile, Alabama.  Beginning in November, Mobile will be the homeport of the Carnival Fantasy.  The vessel will feature sailings to Mexico.

Please check our website http://www.specialneedsgroup.com periodically for updates and any special promotions.

Thank you again for your ongoing support as we continue to work in achieving our mission of Delivering an Accessible World®.

Keep Smilin’,

 

Andrew J. Garnett, CATA
President/CEO

The Port of Miami and Port Everglades in Fort Lauderdale service cruise ships sailing out of south Florida.  The seven cruise terminals that service passengers sailing out of Miami are among the most modern in the world.  The Port of Miami terminals are designed to move passengers from land to sea as efficiently as possible.
