Prime Timers Cruises
One of our fellow chapters in Ohio organizes independent cruises. The following link provides information about these cruises and how to register for them.
7-Night Alaska Cruise. June 21 – 28, 2024 – There is also a private Facebook group for these Prime Men’s Cruises. The organizer will be holding cabins/rooms until February. Last call at the discounted group rate is February 2024. The Cruise is on Celebrity Edge. If you have not been on Celebrity Edge, we advise GOOGLING the ship. It is over the top impressive. As in all of Celebrity cruises it is inclusive, free WI-FI, no tips, free Drink package.
Alaska would be a great way to beat the summer heat, and an opportunity to build comradery!
