CruisingToads Posted January 21, 2009 #102 Share Posted January 21, 2009 [quote name='biker@sea']Is It time to start a ROLL CALL ?? :D:D[/quote] Id have to say we are getting close to that. Im thinking the only reason one hasnt been started is because we arent officially a "Group Cruise" until we have the rates, etc. Im not 100% sure, VT can clarify on this, but I think once we become offical we get our own section of boards or something like that?!!?

VTislandGrl Posted January 21, 2009 Author #103 Share Posted January 21, 2009 HAHA Biker I actually did start a roll call for this sailing on the NCL Jewel boards... Toads - Yes, once we are official we get our own board under the Groups boards. Sorry guys but still no pricing back :( Should be anytime now though!!

VTislandGrl Posted January 21, 2009 Author #104 Share Posted January 21, 2009 Just to update - still waiting on pricing...I'm hoping to receive it today! Going out of town tomorrow for a week, so I really wanted to post the pricing before I left. I'll post as soon as I hear something!!:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CruisingToads Posted January 23, 2009 #106 Share Posted January 23, 2009 Ok guys - just because VT is gone on business does not mean that we cant keep this thread going! I cant post during the day because of work but I thought someone might post today while I was gone. So, ok Ill start - Im ready for the cruise!! What is everyone looking forward to? Im ready for Belize most of all. That and being back on the Jewel again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magical914 Posted January 23, 2009 #107 Share Posted January 23, 2009 We just came home from the Jewel this week and I can't wait to be back out there!!! I'm also looking forward to Belize. We were there last year on the Sun, but because of rough seas all the excursions were cancelled. Later in the afternoon we were able to go ashore but we had limited time and really just visited the shops, I would really like to see more this time. I can't wait to here back about prices....we're hoping to make it a big family cruise. The more the merrier!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
biker@sea Posted January 23, 2009 #108 Share Posted January 23, 2009 Welcome Magical. Did you love the Jewel?? Toads DW wants to see the Mayan ruins. I just want to smell the salt air and fell the ocean breeze. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CruisingToads Posted January 23, 2009 #109 Share Posted January 23, 2009 I agree - the more the merrier!!! We are seeing if some family want to come as well. How was your trip in the Jewel?? I think we are going to do some Ruins this year in Mexico - we are going South of Playa Del Carmen - north of Tulum - in May - so I may be ruined out.

magical914 Posted January 23, 2009 #110 Share Posted January 23, 2009 We LOVED the Jewel. The ship is beautiful, the crew was very friendly, polite and we had them kidding around with our group in no time! The shows were great, the comedian...hysterical. We even won twice in bingo! However, we did nothing but lose in the casino.lol The noro was runnning wild about midway through, we went to silver service which made service a lot slower, but it was for the good of everyone. Even with the extra stress, the crew was great! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry to hear about the noro - but it sounds like they got it under control and luckily you didnt pick it up. My husband likes to pick on me about our casino trip on the Jewel - he handed me a 20 (slots) and he went to the bathroom - when he came back it was gone.

VTislandGrl Posted January 24, 2009 Author #112 Share Posted January 24, 2009 Just thought I'd check in real quick while I could.....Still haven't received the pricing yet, but I promise to post it as soon as I receive it! Thanks for keeping the board active for me though!! :) Magical - Glad you had a great trip on the JEWEL and good to hear you didn't come down with Noro. What ports did you visit? How was the Freestyle Dining? Tell us more!! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VTislandGrl Posted January 25, 2009 Author #115 Share Posted January 25, 2009 50 degrees?! That is a heatwave to us Northerners LOL :p Thanks for posting the pics - very cool! And good idea with the map. The Mayan Ruins in Belize look neat. I have seen several in Mexico before. Not sure which are closest to Costa Maya though?

biker@sea Posted January 25, 2009 #116 Share Posted January 25, 2009 -6 degrees here this morning.:eek: DW is now lookin at the AF suite instead of the BA aft balcony. With NCL's obc promo there is not a big difference in price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VTislandGrl Posted January 25, 2009 Author #117 Share Posted January 25, 2009 Where are you located Biker? We had -28 two mornings last week in VT!! Is AF a mini-suite? Sometimes they really aren't all that much more than a balcony cabin. I'm still interested in trying an aft balcony...Are those usually the same price as a standard balcony cabin?

I suppose those nice wrap-around corner aft balconies would be quite a bit more huh?

Maybe we could plan a Family Jewels Group Excursion there? It says they cater to groups...something to look into. Looks like it has a little something for everyone too.
