If you checked out the March 6th SQLCruise out of Miami, but decided against going because rooms were too expensive, you might want to check again.  Norwegian had cancellations for some of the cheaper rooms, and as of this writing, there’s balcony rooms available for just $999 per person!  Check out availability now.

If you’re more of a long-term planner, check out the rates on the week-long Alaska cruise on May 29th – inside rooms are available from just $869 per person.  There’s still a couple of spots left.

SQLCruise Swag

Either way, you might want to sneak in now, because on Tuesday we’re going to announce a very cool set of gifts for each cruiser courtesy of Quest Software.  On the first #SQLCruise last year, we gave away a legendary amount of goodies to every cruiser, and four cruisers even won SQLCruise netbooks.  This year promises to be even better.

Heck – maybe you should just come on the cruise, ignore all the training from Brent Ozar and Tim Ford, and soak up the sun and the swag!
