The Children Battling Cancer Foundation And Caribbean Cruise Line's Hope On Water Campaign

Online, February 23, 2011 (Newswire.com) - Since late 2009, Caribbean Cruise Line and The Children Battling Cancer Foundation have worked together offering free all expense cruises to children and their families who are confronted with the realities of pediatric cancer.

To begin, we would like to share some words from a participating family:

"With much pleasure and many, many thanks I tell you how wonderful our trip was as the January recipient of the CBC Hope on Water program. Your gracious and generous partner, Caribbean Cruise Line, did everything possible to ensure we had the best family vacation ever. From the time we got to the pier, Earl the pier supervisor, and Steve, the hotel manager, whisked us through check in, and we had a tour of the ship by Michelle. Michelle informed us of all many special things that awaited us - our table seating where Mat took over entertaining the kids and seeing to our every need, our reserved seats for the shows, our complimentary spa treatments, our Bahamas excursion to the beach and to lunch at Our Lucaya hotel, and our Bridge Tour. At dinner each night we had great food accompanied by food sculptures in the shape of animals. Both nights we received chocolate covered strawberries, and a fruit basket. Our spacious cabin suite was amazing, and our cabin steward Alfred once again saw to our every need and even left the kids great towel art.

Kelly has been on chemotherapy for two and a half years. Her last treatment was at the end of November. This was our first family vacation that she felt really, really good - and she had the best time ever. "

Best regards,
Trish Archey
