Girls' cruise

[NightRN]

A friend of mine and I are turning 40 and want to celebrate on the 4 day Mexico cruise out of LA. We have a group of women going with us to help celebrate. What advice do you have for us? No men. No kids. Just old women going wild. :p

First advice - Don't call yourself that!

 

2nd - go to Senior Frogs!

[Name Of The Game]

My advice: Make it a 7 night cruise (but not on the Splendor)!

...want to celebrate on the 4 day Mexico cruise... What advice do you have for us? No men. No kids.

 

Advise? No men, no kids?....Take a longer cruise!!!

 

Seriously, the adivce given above is good - dress up, get group (and single) pictures taken, have fun pamper yourselves (my personal recommendation is...If you're only going for 4 days, don't waste a day with a hangover - moderation in all things ;))

[Shonna]

Have fun! Drink, dance, eat!! Enjoy hanging out with your friends and definately go on a longer cruise! I go with my friends at least once a year and we always have a blast!! :)

We have just recently started this "tradition" April 2010 it was my friend from high school and April 2011 we have added another friend. Both my high school friend and I will be celebrating 50 (her in March and me in July) and our added passenger is celebrating 39 the week before we go, so go and have a blast just being "girls again". This next cruise we will be going from Sat-Thurs in place of Thurs-Mon and have decided we will be trying ziplining in Jamaica. Its time to start really living before its too late! Enjoy yourselves and worry just about you for a few days we all deserve to do that.

Thanks for the advice everyone. I am thinking about surprising everyone with a spa "day". Any good recommendations?

[rrraydon]

We are doing a girls cruise in 18 days on the Pride!!! woohoo

 

4 of us girls in the same cabin...Lord help us!

 

You'll have a blast away from hubby and kids...just as we will!

About the spa, wait until you get on the ship to book your treatments. They normally have specials and packages.On a recent cruise, my wife even placed a bid for the treatments she wanted (she offered less than 50% of the advertised price) and they accepted it!

That sounds fun! They usually have Port Day specials that offer a cheaper price and often a package (pick two or three treatments). Do the spa preview before sailaway if possible and you may win something too!

 

Enjoy your cruise and have a wonderful b-day!

[rrraydon]

On the Fantasy in Aug they had a port day special for $90...a 1 hr deep massage....I loved it!!!

Looking forward to seeing what the specials are on the upcoming cruise.

1. you're not old

2. take a longer cruise

3. save lots of money for lots of drinks.

4. plan alone time away from your friends.... even 4 days with them without a break is a lot..

5. take a longer cruise

6. take a longer cruise

7. take a longer cruise

8. well you get it,... :D

My girlfriends and I went this spring for our 30th birthdays. On top of what everyone mentioned don't feel like you have to spend every moment together. At sea days are a great chance to let everyone float about and follow their own vacation mode. Our best days were when we'd say "See you at ___ at __ oclock" and didn't worry about catching up to each other or if everyone was having fun. Just kick back and have fun!

I did a girls' cruise last year and it was so much fun. My best advice is to watch out for each other, try to stay as a group/together particularly in port.

[Houston Texas Mom]

We did 13 girlfriends for a four day on October and had a blast!!! I would add to dance every time you hear music, and to always have dinner together. Enjoy!!

 

We already have rooms booked for November 2011 ;)

[truchattycathy]

My gf's and I do this one or two times a year. I agree with all of the above posts, especially take a 7 day cruise and don't think you have to do everything together. Have fun!!!! Be sure you join your roll call. You can meet some great people there that can make your cruise even more fun.

Cruises are the best trips for friends..We just went on our 12th one..We have been as small as 5 and as large as 39..Pick the ship,the girls figure out how many in a room they want..We all get a picture on formal night and most nights we see each other in the dining room..You come back a new women

[NightRN]

How many people per room do you guys find to work best?

[Willie T]

Advise? Yah, call me! I would love it. But so does my DH, and since he pays, well, I don't see a girls cruise in my future. Just a dream.

First of all you will have a blast. We are on are second gals runaway weekend this coming January. There will be 12 of us only this year. We stay at the Queen Mary before the cruise and start the party early. There is so much to do, that celebrating a birthday will be a blast. We all went our seperate ways, then we did group events. Just enjoy the time with friends, no kids, no hubbies and most of all no responsibility.
