Tluvscruising Posted April 11, 2009 #1 Share Posted April 11, 2009 I am interested in getting together a 911 cruise and wondered who would be interested? I work for the BC Ambulance Service in administration and thought it would be fun to get everyone together. I am looking into cruises for early Spring 2010.

jagergirl55 Posted April 16, 2009 #2 Share Posted April 16, 2009 My boyfriend and I both work for the fire department. I think a 911 cruise would be great! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny Yen Posted August 22, 2009 #3 Share Posted August 22, 2009 It would be really cute if everyone wore their dress uniforms to dinner in the mdr 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarapdot Posted August 29, 2009 #4 Share Posted August 29, 2009 That sounds like fun! I'm a 911 dispatcher for a police department and one of my cruise buddies works there too. We already have a cruise planned for 2010 though. But it would be interesting for a later date maybe, for us anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farmerlaine Posted October 25, 2009 #5 Share Posted October 25, 2009 We had thought about looking into this idea too for next Spring/Fall, but we are limited to when we can go, DH is at the Olympics for 6 weeks, and will be done the first weekend in March. Which is when Spring Break starts for the kids, who may or may not go to Grandmas, lol! Elaine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TinaB Posted January 13, 2010 #6 Share Posted January 13, 2010 We did one a few years back. Had a great time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edman525 Posted April 9, 2010 #7 Share Posted April 9, 2010 I've been looking for a Public Safety themed cruise! I found one online called "Guns and Hoses", but it seems pretty commercial... I'm sure the CC Public Safety community could come up with something good! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Host Star Posted April 10, 2010 #8 Share Posted April 10, 2010 (edited) please be aware that only Cruise Critic sanctioned Group cruises can be posted on any boards... if you wish to coordinate a group cruise.. Contact our Cruise Critic Community Manager Once you have an idea of how large your group will be initially and the month and ship of sailing, contact Laura (groups@cruisecritic.com) and let her know that you are interested in leading a new Cruise Critic group cruise. She will explain the process to you and will contact our Preferred Cruise Agency to obtain your official quote. After you receive your proposal, and checking with your initial group members, it is full speed ahead! Our Community Manager will create a web page for your group as well as designate your own message board forum in our community.CC group cruise Edited April 10, 2010 by Host Star Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edman525 Posted April 10, 2010 #9 Share Posted April 10, 2010 Wow! Thanks for all of the great info! Now to find enough people to go! :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edman525 Posted April 11, 2010 #10 Share Posted April 11, 2010 Alrighty, Laura has been contacted. So, I'm gonna attempt to organize an official cruise critic member cruise! I'm looking a couple of years in advance to get plenty of time for planning around Public Safety schedules and also plenty of time to pay (cause lord knows we don't make that much!) I am looking at the Carnival Valor's April 1st, 2012 Western Caribbean sailing out of Miami, FL. This week will also accomadate those with children as this is the most common K-12 spring break week. So, if you have a badge, a star of life, a Maltese Cross or just tell everyone where they can go (dispatchers :-P) lets hear it! Who's up for some fun in the sun????

Edman525 Posted April 21, 2010 #11 Share Posted April 21, 2010 Oh well, no longer attempting an official CC group cruise... Got a group cruise going at my department. Maybe better luck next time! :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare AFS1970 Posted May 26, 2010 #13 Share Posted May 26, 2010 My first cruise was a Volunteer Firefighters cruise/conference. All told there were about 60 of us, between FF's, DH/DW's and one group that brought some friends. We had very short conference hours on the days at sea and formal nights were in Class A Uniform. It was all organized by a friend of mine, who had done one other cruise before. We got one special tour from the ship's safety officer, which was interesting. Now this cruise was organized through another website that we were all members of and the organizer owned at the time. We all used a single TA, so the cruiseline knew we were coming on board as a group. It worked out really well. So this could work if someone takes the lead. One thing I have found is that throwing the big 9-1-1 net out there might not work for stuff like this. Different groups may want to stick to their own. I have seen FF cruises & LEO cruises. I have been a Dispatcher for 21 years, and just recently left VFD after 13 years. The two groups were always pleasant to each other but really didn't socialize together that much, and several of us in dispatch are/were VFF's.

capncarp Posted August 26, 2016 #20 Share Posted August 26, 2016 Sounds like a blast! But better keep the War Stories to a minimum at mealtimes; too many non-911 folk would be losing their lunches/dinners/last Thursday's breakfasts if we'd share our "interesting on-the-job experiences" within their earshot:eek:. That's how I made the fateful decision to get my EMT card--listening to DW and some NY State paramedic buddies "sharing" during a party one night.

FireStation46 Posted January 30, 2017 #21 Share Posted January 30, 2017 Nah, civies may not get it so maybe they could / should learn. I lost 4 in my family on 911, one NYFD FF and three that worked in offices. Plus other smoke eaters I knew in other statuons killed or injured. Their photos are in the WTC memorial. Too much politically correct suff these past years. A 1st responder cruise would be awesome and if you are not in the brotherhood, time to expand one's experiences. I know we would party hardy! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
