Possible CC Group Cruise in June 2010, Who's Interested?

[dbogusch]

[quote name='dsb9938']Okay, at this point I'm going to assume June 22nd works since nobody has objected yet.[/QUOTE]


That's perfect for me.

[dsb9938]

Right now I'm just sitting here drumming my fingers waiting to hear from Laura so I can make the official thread.

Then we can start making a list and booking cabins.

Works for me too! That was the date we were looking at booking before I saw this thread. Now I'll wait til you get all the info together and book with the group.

[dsb9938]

It's funny, a couple months ago I booked this years cruise, then I discovered this site. Turns out there's a CC cruise for the one I booked.

Sad part is, it doesn't seem to be so popular. There are like 5 or 6 people on the roll call thread.

This cruise doesn't even have it's official group thread or sub-forum setup and it already has many times the number of people interested.

Too funny.

So should I just book myself for that date instead? I'm really not sure if the military rate would be cheaper then the group rate?

[dsb9938]

No, that's not what I was sayingt, LOL.

I was saying this cruise is much more popular.

I should have the pricing and all the other info by the end of the week.

You should wait and see.

gorgeous pictures of the glacier and tracy arm. where you on a private tour and if so can you tell me who it was. we want to get in as close as we can too the glacier. thanks so much for the great links.

[dsb9938]

It wasn't me, these are just some of the things I found while researching.

Since we have so long till the cruise I figured there was plenty of time to discuss activities, and especially see which we can get enough people for to get a group rate.

[dsb9938]

Started a clean thread here:

Please make all new posts there.

Thanks

it was very good of you too post them for us though. and you are right, doing research and checking things out is how i spend hours of my time before i get on the ship.

Okay, so the new thread got deleted, I don't know why.

I assume somebody will eventually tell me.

What did it say? If it said "official" it would have been pulled since we aren't official yet.

[hkolln]

Did they delete it? I can't seem to find it either.

If you get any info back this week I may not be able to respond. I'm leaving on Friday to drive to Miami for our Liberty cruise leaving on March 28th...but I'll be back April 4th...so don't think I'm not interested about the June 2010 Alaska cruise cause I am!!! :)

[quote name='dbogusch']What did it say? If it said "official" it would have been pulled since we aren't official yet.[/quote]


No, as a matter of fact I went out of my way to say I was still waiting to make it official, I just wanted a clean thread without all the date chit chat, since we had picked a date.

Doesn't matter. If all goes as it should we'll have an official thread in another day or two.

Alaska is calling out to us:

[dsb9938]

Okay folks, in case you hadn't noticed, I do everything as far in advance as possible.

I've seen all sorts of goodies with these group setups, do any of you have preferences?

I'm thinking as much OBC as possible so we can do with it as we please.

But we may have to have other choices ready as well.

So, what will it be?

Dennis

[hkolln]

Well let me know when you get something back on the cruise date. I'm leaving Friday morning to head down to Miami for our cruise but if you know something before then please let me know. Thanks! :)

[dsb9938]

kellywhitehills, who has one of the other threads going, tells me she heard from Laura today But there was some confusion about the cruise they wanted so she didn't get much info.

I'm hoping to hear soon.

I'll keep everybody posted, you can hardly keep my quiet as it is!

LOL

[SIZE=3][COLOR=Indigo]I am just lurking around, and saw some one post about Children, like maybe they didn't want to be bothered with little ones around? We were on the Spirit last Nov, to Mexico for 8 days, they announced at the last show, that we had like 300 kids on board. And that we could thank the Kids staff, if we had enjoyed a kid free cruise. Everyone really was taken back that there were that many kids on board. Either they were the best kids ever or, that staff is really good![/COLOR][/SIZE] [SIZE=4] [COLOR=Indigo]Just thought I would ease a mind or two... Hope what ever you all decide, that it is a great cruise. I am looking for a Group to Alaska, but I think I have to many other things planned, and need to wait til Sept. time and price factors[/COLOR][/SIZE]

The $25 deposit is always nice.
