PGcruiser Posted August 14, 2004 #126 Share Posted August 14, 2004 Not sure if this applies to your NPN group, but cruise lines sometimes book an agency/dance troup etc. With this they give a huge discount to the entertainment company and a lot of their friends and family take the cruise along with them. I believe the Serenade of the Seas cruising from Vancouver to Hawaii on September 26 has an awesome Tahitian dance company sailing with them and providing entertainment. One of the girls I work with daughter is in the dance troup. They are also doing shows in Hawaii and are considered world class dancers. We are leaving on the Radiance on September 25 and considered taking their cruise special on Sept 26, but found it was not much of a discount. So stayed with our original plans.

I can't even find this characters name in the Daily Planner. LOL I must say I have met so many wonderful families and friends on this cruise. I just want to *hug everybody. :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's my cruise! :( Perhaps I will not have to bother booking any Luau's if the entertainment will already be on the cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Folgy Posted August 14, 2004 Author #130 Share Posted August 14, 2004 WOW!!!!!!!!!!!! I am having a blast. We just got the Celine Dion CD from Meritza in Concierge and cranked up the tunes in our suite. The Stereo system in the suite is totaly awesome. We are listening to the Titanic song with the Glass doors wide open. The sun is shining and the Vancouver Island cruising is fantastic. I just died and went to heaven :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kad Posted August 14, 2004 #131 Share Posted August 14, 2004 Hey Fogey, Glad you are having a great time! I almost cancelled my cruise yesterday because I read on another review site that the service on Serenade was horrible. Thankfully, my travel agent talked me out of it and RCL would not allow me to change ships. I will be staying in an OS. What can I expect from "concierge service"? I'll be taking the 11 night Vancouver/Hawaii September 26th. Now, after all the replies on your thread I'm getting excited. I can't tell you how relieved I am. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

suzym Posted August 16, 2004 #149 Share Posted August 16, 2004 That is one of favorite parts of cruising. When you board you are all strangers. When you debark you leave with some of the best friends you'll ever know. Hopefully our pevious cruise buddies will make the trek from Kelowna to Vancouver to see us. Have a good night. (Putting off going to bed aren't you? That means it's really over. I hate that part.) Sue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I ran on 4 to 6hrs of sleep each day as I did not want to miss a thing. I hope you have the time of your life. The ship is just too much fun. :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
