Cruise for Summer 2009?

[Gina477]

Hi everyone,

 

I am considering booking a cruise for Summer 2009. Preferably, first two weeks in July or first two weeks in August. I know that is the peak season and most expensive. I am thinking perhaps between 5 & 7 days. I was looking at the Pride that is sailing on 8/1/08, but, I am not sure. It would be my DH and two teenage daughters and myself.

 

Any ideas, suggestions?

 

Thanks, Gina

My philosophy is if you have the time and the money - DO IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Life is just too short and regrets suck!!!

Excuse my French!

We're taking our first cruise in July 2009.

 

We're sailing on the Inspiration July 13, 2009 out of Tampa.

Most of our cruises are booked in July, I think all but one have been. We have our next summer cruise booked on the Freedom out of Ft. Lauderdale. It is an eight day cruise. WooHoo. So far it is my DH and my 16 year old son, maybe my 22 year old. We have two staterooms booked.

4cruizers, Looks like we will be joining you on this cruise. This will be the second leg of our B2B. We are a family group of 10, my my husband, his mom, our daughters 14 & 16 and my husabands family from Denmark, which includes a 17 yo male and 14 female. Can't wait! Teri

 

Gina, The Freedom does both 6 and 8 days in June & July it is a newer ship, lots to see and do. Happy planning. Teri

First, let me be a little touchy...my background is French, and I assure you that is not French.

 

Besides that, though, we also will be on the Freedom at the beginning of August. Eight days sounds wonderful, but go ahead and book a family cruise, whatever your budget can comfortably contain. Have a ball!

Come over and join our "roll call." I see we have two kids the same age.

Don't be so touchy. It is just and expression!

I like to cruise out of Florida myself, but the Pride looks good Go for it

We're off subject, of course...but think about what that little expression implies...

i was looking at the pride for aug o9-- but unsure of this ship---any thoughts

[kjunea]

Pride is a Spirit Class ship, one of my favorites. It's not too big, but not too small. Very easy layout. 80% of cabins are outside. There are about six or eight "combo" room layouts that have an inside room connecting with a balcony, which is great for a family that wants two rooms and wants a balcony, but doesn't want to pay for two balconies. (We've booked these on the Pride in May.)

 

Now my brother and sister in law love the Conquest Class ships. They book them any chance they get.

 

I think either way you can go, you will find something you would love. I would pick a cruise by the intinerary. The food will be similar, service similar, etc.

 

Have a great vacation!

is the pride good for teenage boys--16 &13?

we were on liberty this year--is there much for them on this ship?
