NNCA 2022 Reunion

Planning for NNCA 2022 Reunion is well underway. Reward yourself for the sacrifices you made to keep yourself and others healthy during this pandemic.

We can, with reasonable assurance, say that we should be through this pandemic by mid 2022. The planning committee has made a decision to select a 9-day cruise to Bermuda, with stops in Newport, RI and Charleston, SC. This trip aboard the Celebrity Summit leaves Liberty, NJ on May 4th, 2022, the port is easily accessible by road, rail and air. Cruise fares are quite low right now and the cruise lines have made herculean efforts to ensure the safety of all passengers. Pricing is located on the detailed information sheet linked below. Our cruise planner is Jeannie Lipphard, her preferred contact method is e-mail jeannie@cruiseplanneronline.com. For those who would like to call, please contact her at 443-274-8178. Feel free to use the linked Reservation Form to assist with travel planning. Additionally, just let Jeannie know if you would like to be matched with another single to avoid a double fare for a single room. A refundable deposit of $450.00 PER PERSON deposit is required to reserve a room.
