Paul Kronforst Cruise
Hey, it’s Paul! You either know me as Mark Belling’s Producer (33 years), or we’ve met on one of the 19 Belling Cruises that Dawn and I have been on. If we’ve met, I’m sure you already know that Dawn (my wife) and I love to have a great time, and we LOVE cruising! That’s why we are hosting our very own cruise and after cruising on 19 of them, we know the perfect recipe for an incredible vacation. It starts with the destination. Our favorite islands in the Caribbean are Aruba, Bonaire, and Curaçao (the ABC Islands). You’re almost virtually guaranteed great weather and if I’m leaving Wisconsin in March, I don’t want to leave weather to chance! Just as important is the cruise line. We love Celebrity. Specifically, Celebrity Reflection. It’s the perfect blend of incredible service, gourmet meals, relaxed atmosphere, and a wide variety of entertainment. But the secret ingredient is you! Traveling with a fun-loving group of Wisconsinites is the only way to travel. We love getting together for drinks, having a good laugh over dinner, and getting to know one another at events like my cocktail party, Q&A, cruise party and more!
Check out all the info and call my good friends at Cruise & Tour to make your reservation. Dawn and I sincerely hope you can join us. We’re going to have a blast together!
