**Cruise Critic Gathering in Portland, Oregon May 1, 2004**

[zimmerjulie]

Hello Fellow Cruise Critics!

 

A few other PNW Cruise Critics and I thought it would be fun to plan a get-together this Spring in Portland, Oregon, so we did! We hope you can join us for some "cruise talk" and good times.

 

SATURDAY MAY 1, 2004 AT 5:00pm, we Cruise Critics will set sail from the OMSI (Oregon Museum of Science and Industry) dock aboard the Sternwheeler Rose for 2 hours of dining, sightseeing, and socializing. The scenic, two-hour dinner cruise will be followed by more "merriment" at the Portland City Grill, a classy 30th floor bar/restaurant with fantastic views.

 

To make reservations for the Sternwheeler Rose dinner cruise, call 1-503-286-ROSE. Let them know that you are with the Cruise Critic group. Space is limited and they will be arranging a special dining area for us, depending on our group size, so please consider calling ASAP. They will take your reservation information and send you your boarding passes, a map, and a brochure. The price for the Prime Rib, raspberry chicken breast dinner buffet and scenic cruise up the Willamette River is $38 per person. The fare is non-refundable, but if for some reason you can not make it, the passes are transferable. For more details, check out the www.sternwheelerrose.com

 

There are many other attractions available if some of you “Cool Cruisers†(especially those making a long drive to get here!) would like to extend the party to Saturday afternoon and/or Sunday.

 

I am really looking forward to meeting fellow Cruise Critics from the area!

 

Julie
