Get Info: SIU Alumni Cruise | Margaritaville at Sea Islander
Cohosted by the Carbondale in the '80s and '90s Group. Set off for adventure and fun with fellow Salukis this summer!
Join the Carbondale ’80s and ’90s B.E.E.R. Group and the SIU Alumni Association for a cruise where the only homework is deciding poolside or buffet first. Rehearse those college stories, bring your spouse or favorite travel buddy, and let’s make some new memories at sea.
We’re sailing June 20–25 from Tampa, Florida, aboard the Margaritaville at Sea Islander, with stops in Key West, Florida, and Cozumel, Mexico. Expect sunshine, music, good food, alumni laughs, and zero alarm clocks unless you set one for breakfast.
Packages start at $475 per person for an interior cabin (taxes and gratuities not included). Every package includes a $25 onboard credit, which roughly translates to “your first round is already handled.”
To get the full booking info, register here. After you sign up, the travel agency will follow up with details. Registration deadline is March 19.
Grab your sunglasses, your Saluki pride, and maybe some stretchy cruise pants. This one’s shaping up to be legendary.
