Cruise on Princess and Support Veterans and our Troops

Princess Cruises has announced a special four night cruise in November, 2013 that will help raise money for the Vietnam Veterans Memorial Fund Inc. and Operation Homefront Inc.  The Veterans Memorial Fund Inc. preserves the legacy of fallen soldiers from the Vietnam War.  Operation Homefont Inc. provides emergency financial support to families of veterans and wounded soldiers.

The cruise will take place on the Caribbean Princess and will leave out of Galveston, TX on November 5, 2013 and will make one stop in Progreso, Mexico.  A portion of each cruise fare, ranging from $100-$300 per person based on stateroom category, will go to these two non-profit charities.
