U.S.S. SCHENECTADY (LST 1185)

2015 Reunion

May 17 - 24, 2015

---

FINALLY, AN OPPORTUNITY TO GATHER TOGETHER ONCE AGAIN

If you attended the 2008 Skinny-T Reunion in Myrtle Beach, SC you remember the great time, good food, fascinating sights and scenic tours that were enjoyed by the ship's company and wives.. Stan Civick played a major role in organizing that event. Sadly, Stan is not with us this time around. His brother, Mark, who attended the 2008 reunion, is hoping to have another great reunion--this time a cruise. Mark has made the initial arrangements for the cruise ship, the lowest prices and the best possible trip itinerary.

 

Here's our ship:

Navigator of the Seas

In order to be fair to everyone, the port of departure
 is half-way between the East and West Coasts.

 

How about some comparisons:

MS Navigator of the Seas	USS Schenectady (LST-1185)
Gross tonnage - 138,279 tons	Gross tonnage - 8,550 tons (full loadl)
Length - 1,020 feet	Length - 522' 3" (overall)
Max beam - 157.5 feet	Max beam - 69' 9 1/2" (max)
Draft - 29 feet	Draft - max aft (full load) - 16' 3"
Cruising Speed - 22 kts	Speed - 27 kts. (Max. ) Beat 'em here!

 

Here's where we're going:

 

Here's the itinerary:

 

Here are the prices:

Atrium (inside) Cabin - $635.62 pp Ocean View Cabin - $835.62 pp Balcony $925.62 pp Large Balcony - $929.62 pp Junior Suite w/ Balcony - $935.62 pp

All rates include port tax and Gov. fees.

Rates for 3rd + 4th in cabin available upon request.

Also we can reduce rates depending on the number of people going.

Here's a tip: Why pay $200 more to see the endless ocean when you can
 save money and walk 50 feet and watch the ocean, any time you desire.

 

Here's what to expect:

Cozumel, Mexico

Falmouth, Jamaica

Georgetown, Grand Cayman

We already have five families signed on. The more we get, the cheaper the rates.
We're all getting a little older and there probably won't be many more get-togethers to enjoy with fellow ship mates.
This is really a wonderful opportunity for you and your family to join with Skinny-T families for a wonderful time in the sun.
