Hi Steve. I did sign up for my sister and I for the cruise yesterday. I have not heard anything back and tried to email the man who it says to email and it was kicked back to me. I wanted to get my deposit made to hold our spots. Will it take a few days to hear from anyone?
Thank you.

I am so excited my sister and I are checking into this right now. I have already emailed the travel agent to ask just a few questions. Wanted to check on travel insurance and also if we have a friend who wants to go with us if we can all stay in the same cabin. I hope to be signing up my sister and I soon. We stayed in Pawhuska at your home and loved it.
Yes, it is definitely possible for three people to share a cabin-people do it all the time.
We’d LOVE to have you! 😀
