Name Of The Game Posted November 14, 2010 #5 Share Posted November 14, 2010 My advice: Make it a 7 night cruise (but not on the Splendor)! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DollyJ Posted November 14, 2010 #6 Share Posted November 14, 2010 ...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 ;)) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shonna Posted November 14, 2010 #7 Share Posted November 14, 2010 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!! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dixiediva761 Posted November 14, 2010 #8 Share Posted November 14, 2010 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NightRN Posted November 17, 2010 Author #9 Share Posted November 17, 2010 Thanks for the advice everyone. I am thinking about surprising everyone with a spa "day". Any good recommendations? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare rrraydon Posted November 17, 2010 #10 Share Posted November 17, 2010 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! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Tapi Posted November 17, 2010 #11 Share Posted November 17, 2010 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!

obx_fintoo Posted November 17, 2010 #12 Share Posted November 17, 2010 Thanks for the advice everyone. I am thinking about surprising everyone with a spa "day". Any good recommendations? 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! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare rrraydon Posted November 17, 2010 #13 Share Posted November 17, 2010 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GalOverCs Posted November 18, 2010 #16 Share Posted November 18, 2010 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!

comeon530 Posted November 18, 2010 #17 Share Posted November 18, 2010 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Houston Texas Mom Posted November 18, 2010 #18 Share Posted November 18, 2010 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 ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
truchattycathy Posted November 18, 2010 #19 Share Posted November 18, 2010 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NightRN Posted November 29, 2010 Author #21 Share Posted November 29, 2010 How many people per room do you guys find to work best? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Willie T Posted November 29, 2010 #22 Share Posted November 29, 2010 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nancyfancy40 Posted November 29, 2010 #23 Share Posted November 29, 2010 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.
