Kissimmee, here. I'll be cruising on September 21, 2008 on the Mariner of the Seas and on September 20, 2009 on the Freedom of the Seas. I'd love to get the chance to meet any other family cruisers who may be sailing at either of those times.

HAPPY CRUISING, EVERONE!!!!

Ah the Costa Classica....I loved that ship. The maiden Voyage was a rocky start, but at least she was of the Old Costa, not the Joe farcus idea of Italian design.

Classica...Euroluxe she wasn't but so different. The Lobby...spectacular.

And I had such a good time on that ship...;) ;) ;)

I miss the old Costa......the last Costa ship I sailed on was the Atlantica...and it was "the last".....hated it. Now the Victoria....now that ship has stories to tell.......ooo la la.

La Doce Vita!!!!!!!!!!!!:D

hi everyone!

 

kimmiabre - i'm from Pensacola too! we live in gainesville right now but i'll be back in pensacola over the summer after our sovereign cruise in may.

Not one of the Naples area bunch (live in Kissimmee, myself), but it is a very beautiful area and I'm sure you're gonna love living there. Welcome to FL. I'll be taking a couple of cruises this year. On 05/16/08, I'll be taking a short Sovereign cruise. She is always great for little quick cruises and I'm going to miss her when she leaves us. The other is on another ship Port Canaveral will be losing...The Mariner. I'll be sailing her on 09/21/08. Any family cruisers taking either of those?? Would love to hear from you!

Here's another link as well, Steve!!

Hi! A Floridian?!?! Wow... We'll, I've live in Orlando 7 yrs and Winter Park 3 1/2 yrs. I just booked my first "real" cruise! I use the term real, because the only other cruise I've been on is a 3 day Bahama's. So, anyway, It's the NCL-Gem, on May 11, from Barcelona! The prices are great for a Mediteranian Cruise. I wish I could do the Mariner Western- I know allot of the guys in OGC. I used to also bowl on the gay league, but, taking this season off. We're going to have a group of 8-10 probably, at least that is what everyone is saying now. You know how everyone changes there minds! ha! ttys- Tom:D

Small world, Tom. I also bowled on the gay league for a few years at Aloma. Perhaps we bowled against each other. I was with Robb and Tim and good friends with PJ and Mark. Any of those names ring a bell? The friends from OGC are going on the December 3-nighter, not the Mariner. Talk to you soon!! Freddie

Anyone in the Orlando area?

Another Winter Park guy here! Florida born (Sanford) and raised. I just got back last month from the Mariner of the Seas Eastern and loved it so much that next Sept. I'll be doing the Mariner Western. Of course...that's too long to wait so I went ahead and booked the Sovereign of the Seas for Dec 14, 2007. It was a great deal and, departing from Port Canaveral, it's really close to drive to! Some of my friends from the Orlando Gay Chorus will be doing that one as well!!

You're right, FLSpeedo...there ARE a lot of Central Floridians!!

Hey, all. I just booked for the 09/16/07 Eastern cruise on the Mariner and I have selected room 7506. The others in this category were on deck 2 and I wanted something higher up. It's at the front of the ship so the portholes look out under the bridge.

Has anyone had one of these cabins before? It's a different shape (pie shaped) but actually looks a little bigger than the others. Also, do the ceds seperate like the other cabins?

Thanks in adavnce for any information. Happy cruising!!!!!
