      Before You Book, Please Read!

      Pricing on this site is per person. If three of you are traveling and sharing a room, select a triple room and chose three travelers. If two of you are sharing a room, select two travelers and a double room. Pricing is not per room, it is per person. Thank you!

      Optional Broadway Shows and Tours

      As we get closer to the parade date, PAC will add several optional Broadway shows and NYC Tours for you to choose from for your time in New York City! You'll be able to view and reserve these experiences, right here!

      Sharing Your Room with a Friend?

      If you are paying for your family member or roommate with your reservation account, there is no need to do anything special at registration. 


      If your roommate is paying separately under their own account, be sure to add their name and email address when asked at checkout (important) so that we can match you up with them on the hotel rooming list. 


      As example, if you have two roommates staying with you in a triple room, you will pay for one traveler in a triple room (not three), and list both of your roommate names and email addresses at registration. If by chance they decide not to come however, you will be charged for a double or single room as appropriate.

      Lee and Stephanie planned an awesome trip. As an alumni of Norfolk State University, this trip made me proud to be a Spartan. The band not only represented the university and the alumni they represented the Norfolk Community. What an awesome job they did. Thank you to the Rose Bowl committee for the invitation. Can’t wait for the band to come back. ❤️ BEHOLD💚💛

      Thank you for such a wonderful experience. Everything on the agenda was at the utmost and beyond. Beautiful hotel nice clean busses. Good food and good people and I enjoyed the communication Between the Trip Planner and us. He kept us well informed at all times. I would most definitely go on another trip with we travel again.

Excellent CS!

      We had a fantastic time on this trip! We appreciated the attention to detail of Lee and Stephanie. Loved the accommodations! Loved that area because there was shopping, great restaurants, and most importantly, THE BEACH! (YEP! Even in the winter!) The only adjustment I would have suggested is in reference to the dinner cruise. There were just too many people for the dinner cruise to have both the band and family, alumni and friends without an orderly, strategically planned change over in seating to enjoy the meal. It may have been better if it hadn't been cold and raining because the top deck could have been utilized. Instead, it would have been nice to have a welcome party in the hotel for alumni and family with appetizers, cash bar, and a DJ. They would have had a blast and the students, band staff and chaperones would have had a blast on the dinner cruise. Otherwise, oh what a superb trip!!!!

      I had a wonderful time on this trip. It was very well-organized and very accessible to the promoters of this trip Lee and Stephanie. The itinerary was good and this trip stayed with the time on the intenery. Nice location for the hotel and friendly bus drivers. Great seats for the Rose Bowl Parade.
