dsb9938 Posted March 20, 2009 Author #51 Share Posted March 20, 2009 I'm sure there will be enough people who want to go with the new itinerary for both groups, besides, most people with kids can't go early anyway. Even if they don't bring their children. I'm ex-navy, 10 years, way back when I was young, LOL. CCL is nice in that they give the discount for ex, as well as active and retired. It's usually the best deal for me, since I won't take Early Saver because I don't want to risk losing the deposit. Dennis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dsb9938 Posted March 20, 2009 Author #54 Share Posted March 20, 2009 Welcome aboard! It's good to see interest. I'm going one way or the other, but I think this will be a blast! Dennis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anamanxs Posted March 20, 2009 #55 Share Posted March 20, 2009 We are going either way also, just limited in the time frame, since while my kids are grown my career field is in the preschool education field including summer camp so have some no vacation frozen weeks involved. But the count look good for both trips to make it and then the May guys and let the July guys know how it went! I am so excited! Can't wait to plan!

dsb9938 Posted March 20, 2009 Author #56 Share Posted March 20, 2009 It looks like we are building up to three groups at this time, yours in may, the other one in June, and mine in July. I don't see why that should be a problem, it offers everybody an option. Options are always good! Dennis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dsb9938 Posted March 20, 2009 Author #57 Share Posted March 20, 2009 Just got my CC "Beach Safes" yesterday. I must say I was skeptical about how nice they would be. I am thoroughly impressed. Good solid plastic, and big enough for my cards and even smokes when doing something wet. And we all know, wet is the whole point most of the time!

anamanxs Posted March 20, 2009 #58 Share Posted March 20, 2009 Got my rum runners but not up on beach safes? Explain I have packages deliver to work since I am there most days. The rumrunners sure made a conversation piece that day. You wopuldn't belive the guesses to what they were. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dsb9938 Posted March 20, 2009 Author #59 Share Posted March 20, 2009 It's a nice little waterproof box a little bigger than a pack of smokes. Comes with a lanyard, although I have my own that I prefer, and is very well made. Wish I had one before now!

dsb9938 Posted March 20, 2009 Author #60 Share Posted March 20, 2009 Okay, so nobody has a problem with July 6th? Or have I not waited long enough? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smrn Posted March 20, 2009 #61 Share Posted March 20, 2009 I prefer June, but might be interested in July if the price is okay. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because it's so close to July 4th it may be higher airline prices (we are in Florida so have to fly). I guess we'll see how the pricing goes and go from there. Once you get pricing maybe alot more people can say Yes or No. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dsb9938 Posted March 20, 2009 Author #63 Share Posted March 20, 2009 June 28th is also an option, I just want to get a date that can generate the biggest group. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For me, from NJ, the difference is $15 per ticket from the June date to the July date. July being more expensive, but only just slightly. I think the cost only goes way up if you fly on the holiday weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought it was Tues to Tues...did you mean June 29th? If so that would be better for us. We have family in east WA so we were heading there after the cruise. And how did your price a flight so far out? Doesn't it have to be less then a year? Maybe I can price then too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dsb9938 Posted March 20, 2009 Author #66 Share Posted March 20, 2009 OOOps, yes 29th. I still can't get used to that weird Tuesday thing. I wonder why they did that. Oh well, yes, the 29th. It looks like more people are going to prefer that at this point. I just don't want to start the OFFICIAL thread with a bad date. Dennis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dbogusch Posted March 20, 2009 #73 Share Posted March 20, 2009 July 6th is okay, June 29th is not good for me but the week before that (June 22nd) would be the BEST time for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dsb9938 Posted March 20, 2009 Author #74 Share Posted March 20, 2009 Glad to be getting some input. I was thinking, since Alaska is 'The Last Frontier' we could call our group 'Warriors of The Last Frontier' but I don't know if that sounds too serious or not. As I get more input on specific dates we can narrow it down. Looks like we're working between June 22nd and July 6th at this point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll need to figure out airfare though along with the cruise price. Will they quote us airfare too along with the cruise? or do we book our own instead?
