Change of Address:
If passengers change their address and do not notify Fan Club Cruises/Belair Travel & Cruises prior to shipment of documents, there will be a $50 charge to reroute or resend documents, if there is still time to do so. Otherwise, they will need to pick up their documents when they get to the pier and will not get the information before departing.  If airline tickets are involved, there may be additional charges for reissuing the tickets. Advising the US Postal Service is not adequate since we usually use other companies to deliver documents.

Documentation required:
Valid U. S. passport or birth certificate with a raised seal and photo ID. Citizens of countries other than the U. S. should check with their embassy for proper documentation.

Air and other arrangements to get there: You may drive to Los Angeles or fly from most major cities.  Rates vary with city of departure. Call for the best air fare from your city.  Roundtrip transfers between the airport and the ship are available for $30 per person and are subject to change.

Responsibility:
Venice will be sailing on this cruise and providing entertainment for participants according to their agreement with Belair Travel & Cruises. Only serious illness, injury or death would prevent them from sailing. In the unlikely event that they are not able to sail, every effort will be made to provide replacement entertainer(s). Normal cruise line cancellation penalties will apply to passenger cancellations within 75 days of departure. If performances are cancelled, all passengers will receive a refund of the fee designated for the performers.

Belair Travel & Cruises reserves the right to cancel cruise with full refund if 40 cabins are not sold by August 15, 2002.  Also, due to some possible conflicts for Venice, do not purchase non-refundable airline tickets until after July 1. If it is necessary to cancel the cruise at that time, a full refund of money paid to Belair Travel & Cruises will be provided to all who have booked.

Kipp Lennon of Venice:
The cruise was a total blast for all of us and I just want to say on behalf of the band, thanks to everyone who came and made it such an incredible weekend for us and our families.  Next year will be even better.

Jon DeLong:
I could not believe how much fun I had on this cruise.  It was so different being part of a group instead of just being on my own.  I thought the "Fan Club Cruises" staff did an excellent job.  Venice was amazing.  I give my highest recommendations to anyone considering going on the next one.

Celia McCulloch:
Never in my life have I professed to be a fan of any club.  My experience on the cruise in Nov. 2000, changed my mind, without a doubt.  Without Venice...it would have been "just another boat ride."  Needless to say, my favorite time was just being able to hear them sing live and be around them, knowing they were like anybody else.  I look forward to the next one in Nov. & Dec. 2001.

Gayle Rasmussen:
The Venice cruise this year was one of the best vacations my husband and I ever took.  Where else can you go and be with over 200 of your closest friends?  :-)  Everywhere you went on the ship, and everything you did was in the company of other Venetians.  And oh yeah...Venice was there to entertain us every day also!  Can't wait til next year's cruise!

Craig B. Hoyt:
It was Becky and my first cruise (as it was for the VENICE guys too).  We had such a FANtastic time.  With around 250 of us onboard you couldn't go anywhere and not see someone you knew (or at least had seen before) except for your cabin (and then there was alot of visiting there too).  One of the coolest things was to see one of the guys around the ship and just talking with them about anything.  They were so cool about that.  Oh, and there was definitely not a shortage of good food.  We will be on the next cruise, guaranteed.

Joyce Richards:
Steve and I had a great time.  The weather was simply fabulous!  There was so much to do -- we weren't bored for a second.  And it was so nice that we knew so many people!  Of course seeing Venice for three days straight had a lot to do with the enjoyment, too!! ;-)

Karin Cumbley:
What an amazing weekend!  The camaraderie was fantastic on board, as it always is when Venice fans gather.  Many old friends reconnected, many new friends were made.  The music was ABSOLUTELY the best (when is it not).  The laughs were sometimes so long and hard your sides ached.  This was one of those weekends you wish you could be in two places at once to be a part of everything that was happening.

Leigh in San Diego:
Venice made it all it can be, and the people I got to know/share most of my time with, became extended family.  I am overwhelmed, and wanted to thank everyone again...for a time I will cherish ALWAYS!!

Bill From Maine:
The stories from the first annual Venice cruise will no doubt be told and retold for years to come.  What an incredible, memorable experience.

Kathe From Columbus:
The key to this first Venice cruise was the feeling of shared friendship and love among the guys, their families and we the fans.  It was an amazing, almost indescribable weekend of sheer joy, exceptional music, great weather, lots of laughter, some tears too, acquaintances turning into friends, old friendships renewed and new friendships sealed.  Hopefully more and more fans will be able to attend and we'll be able to fill the entire ship with Venetians!  That would be outstanding!
