quepaquete Posted July 1, 2005 #78 Share Posted July 1, 2005 Hello Guys, My partner and I live in Camarillo, CA. We got hooked on cruising in the last few years. We have been together for 16 years and have taken eight cruises in the last 3 years (Princess, Celebrity and HAL). We are taking a RSVP river cruise in two weeks (July 13, 2005) from Prague to Budapest. The idea of having a local group traveling together sounds wonderful.

Daxxx Posted July 5, 2005 #80 Share Posted July 5, 2005 Had the best time of our lives on the Zaandam to the inside passage of Alaska from Van Couver. The best food and service. Was very impressed with HAL and would want to go on their line again if possible. They really did spoil us and now we will not go on Norweign or Carnival again if we can plan something on HAL. Sorry to hear that you can not get much action on this thread. I heard that Yahoo discontinued all chat rooms, does that include yours?

Brian&Dwayne Posted July 11, 2005 #84 Share Posted July 11, 2005 Wow..Hello neighbor. We're not to far away. I'm on Ocean Blvd. Hey, we were in your neck of the woods last weekend. We went rollerblading down the strand from Ripples to the tip of the marina across from the Hyatt. Then afterwards we drove over to the dome Cruise Terminal to wave for sailaway for Carnaval Pride.

Hobie Posted July 11, 2005 #85 Share Posted July 11, 2005 Brian & Dwayne, You rollerbladed right by my condo. My balcony faces the bike path. I'm between 8th and 9th places. Next time, stop by and say hello! Hobie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheNightDawg Posted July 22, 2005 #86 Share Posted July 22, 2005 Live in Sherman Oaks here. As you can see from below, I love cruising! :) Just finished up my 14th cruise and always on the look-out for other well-priced cruise ops. Half the time sail solo, the other times with friends (no BF here). Lucky to have a good agent who keeps her eyes open! I have had one Atlantis "adventure"...honestly, it wasn't for me; too cliquish and a little too circuit-party-like for my personal tastes. Maybe it was just the particular time I happened to go; I have a buddy who did the Atlantis Hawaii cruise last year and he had a good time (of course, he also went with a group of his own friends, so that may have helped!). Although I have tried other lines, I am a big fan of the Norwegian Cruise Lines.....LOVE the Freestyle concept! :D Works for me! I am one of those "when I am on vacation, I AM ON VACATION" guys! I don't feel the need to pack suits and ties when I am out on the ocean! ;) I know there are plenty of gay men who enjoy taking the tiara out of mothballs for the cruise....I like the kick-back life aboard ship! If I want to go somewhere and NCL goes there, book me! I just took two Celebrity cruises, both were very nice, but man it killed me to have to pack for those formal nights! I much prefer my biggest decision to be "will I wear shoes or flip-flops?" :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerry & Kirk Posted July 23, 2005 #87 Share Posted July 23, 2005 Hi Frank, FYI.....Personal Choice Dining is offered on most Princess ships, it's like Freestyle Dining on NCL....go when you want. If you don't want to dress up at dinner time (slacks and sport shirt on casual nights) and on formal nights in the main dining rooms, you can always go to the buffet and wear your flip flops and anything else you want. You should really consider Princess as a new option. We think they put out a good product, and they have always had FOD gatherings to make things a little more interesting. We've traveled with them on 18 cruises, so far, and several other lines as well. J & K PS. We live near Universal.....a stones throw away from you.

Wallis7433 Posted July 23, 2005 #88 Share Posted July 23, 2005 Hi.... Another cruise lover here. Have a small trip planned on the Celebrity Mercury on October 3 to the Pacific Northwest.

Brian&Dwayne Posted July 24, 2005 #90 Share Posted July 24, 2005 Hey Hobie... Did you see that private party on the beach between the parking lot and the rental building today? They had it fenced off with a DJ and food. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hobie Posted July 24, 2005 #91 Share Posted July 24, 2005 No...I didn't see that party. I was gone most of the day. I wonder who was able to have a private party on the beach? I'll ride my bike over there today to investigate! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian&Dwayne Posted July 24, 2005 #92 Share Posted July 24, 2005 It was my charity! It's gone now, it was only Saturday from noon to 5pm. We had a lot of support from City Council. www.sldn.org Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RJ2002 Posted August 14, 2005 #94 Share Posted August 14, 2005 Hello all! My partner and I will be on the Nov 26 Sapphire Princess sailing to Mexico. Let us know if you'll be on board. We love to cruise, but unfortunately our schedules don't allow us to do it nearly as much as we'd like! We are 44 and 46, and live in West LA.

M4Travels Posted August 16, 2005 #95 Share Posted August 16, 2005 Michael and Marc here in Reseda, together 19 years. Just came back from cruising with Princess Cruises on the Diamond Princess. Having worked for them shoreshide previously as a temp for 3 years, I thought it was about time that we actually sample the product together. I had sailed on the Regal Princess as a single back in 1997 (Marc couldn't get off work) and was really looking forward to the Diamond. It didn't fail me. We were actually with my parents, who were celebrating their 50th anniversay, and one of my sisters and her husband. Mom, dad, sis, and b-i-l were all first-time cruisers and Princess did everything right. Already chomping at the bit for the next one. Hope to chat with y'all more!

Drew B Posted August 16, 2005 #96 Share Posted August 16, 2005 Hey, guys. I'm 36 from Van Nuys. I've cruised twice before, both times on Carnival. I loved Carnival, so if the other lines are even better, I'll be pretty easy to please! I travelled with my sisters both times, and I'm planning a trip with my dad in February. However, I'm single, so it's harder to find "travelling companions" I want to cruise with... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wallis7433 Posted August 21, 2005 #97 Share Posted August 21, 2005 I, too, have a difficult time finding travelling companions. It's hard to find people who are available to travel on the same dates, or are interested in the same itinerary, or even the same cruise lines. I had a "cruise friend" and we did 4 or 5 trips together, which was great, but then he started dating someone and I no longer had a cabin-mate. So I usually end up paying the single surcharge and get a cabin to myself. Not all cruise lines charge 200% - some are a bit less. Maybe this thread will help singles find traveling companions.

joeyanddavid Posted August 21, 2005 Author #98 Share Posted August 21, 2005 if you scroll down this thread you will find a link to the yahoo group we have there are several single guys looking for cabin mates.... ok here it isYahoo Group Just trying to help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wallis7433 Posted August 21, 2005 #99 Share Posted August 21, 2005 Thanks, I'm also a member of that group. I just thought I'd mention it here, too, in case any singles are seeking traveling companions. Thanks again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheNightDawg Posted September 5, 2005 #100 Share Posted September 5, 2005 Sorry...been away with personal stuff going on. Thanks J & K for info about Princess; I was not aware they had that option. Several have pointed out to me in emails that you don't "have to" dress up on most cruises, you can always choose the buffet. For me, buffet is cool for lunch or a late-nite snack, but not really where I want to have dinner when I am on a cruise. So that is why Freestyle on NCL works for me...and now I have an excuse to check-out Princess! ;) No immediate cruise trips in my upcoming plans, but I am finalizing my dream trip to Sydney for Mardi Gras in March 2006! Finally get to put those UAL miles to use! :D If interested, email address is same as my screen-name, find me at AOL.com. Hope all you Valley guys are enjoying the Labor Day holidays!
