I would like to go on a group cruise. Please let me know if another one is planned. Debbie in Orlando.

Are those prices quoted for the entire 7 night cruise? Those are great rates! I didn't know you had to book so far in advance though. I love the idea of it, but I'm kind of scared to do it because I'd be traveling alone. I get so nervous with meeting new people and I'm always thinking they take one look at me and categorize me as the fat chick. But maybe this is what my shrink would call "facing my fears."

Is the cruise already booked up? If not, would anyone be interested in sharing the outside double? If it is booked up, I'd be happy to help plan the next trip. I don't actually know any travel agents, but maybe we could use the same person. I went on a Carnival Cruise about five years ago and it was fun. I think I'd like to try it again, and this time really enjoy it. Last time, I was traveling with these three skinny pretty girls and one of the girl's boyfriend and was so embarrased to be around them. It was a clear case of "which one of these is not like the others?" I was too self-concious the whole time and couldn't relax and just have fun.

We still have cabins left and we are still placing roomies together. We are trying to match them as best we can. Just PM me!

You don't have to book so far in advance, you just have to book that far in advance if you want THAT rate

Yes the price is for the ENTIRE week long cruise. The price includes taxes and port charges. The only additional would be airfare, transfers and insurance if you want it.

Jenna! Great idea! I've checked with my childcare coordinator (read: parents) and we're good to go!

If the transfers are a problem for anyone, I live in Houston and could probably fit one or two people (who pack light) into my small car for the trip from the airport to Galveston.

OR, for any of those who may be arriving the Saturday before maybe we can plan to meet for a short dinner so that we'll recognize faces upon boarding.

Jenna, I'll PM you all of my details... thanks for coordinating this event!

Hey Jenna

We have a van and I am sure we can pick up a few people (I am sure they can even come the night before and stay at our house for the night). If anyone needs a ride from airport to Galvaston let me know

I'm so jealous! What are the chances that a few months before the cruise, there'd still be open rooms? How much do the prices increase?

There's just no way that I can plan something so far ahead.

Sorry Argon. Our prices are only for this group and the cut off date is mid September. We are already filling up fast. Why not just block the date off in the calendar, and tell everything else it can wait?!?!?! That is what I am doing. I usually don't plan so far ahead but the pricing is so great for a June cruise, I am this time!!

I have no idea whether you can get a cabin or not closer to the date but it wouldn't be with the group rate and you wouldn't be linked to us for dinner tables. Feeling lucky?

Come on... live a little and LET'S GO ON A CRUISE!!! WOOOOT WOOOOT

[princess_n_thep 2]

Karla and Alex... that is VERY generous of you. I am sure some people will PM you!! That's why I love this group, we are already family!!!

Man, I can't wait... is it June yet????

I am the same as Alex on people staying with me or needing a ride to Galveston.We have SUV so have plenty of room and you would be so welcome:)

[princess_n_thep 2]

I would love to go with you, but I'm already scheduled to go on a 7-day Quilting Cruise (no hubbies) in January out of Galveston going to Jamaica, Cayman Island and Cozumel. When I signed up for that, we planned on eating and sewing!

Now, I'm hoping to be much slimmer by January and plan to spend more time sewing and less time eating! Yay for me!

[princess_n_thep 2]

bumping for others to join.... still some cabins available.

Single travelers, we still have some roomies for ya!! Come one, come all!

It's deposit week! This week, I'll be touching base with everyone and getting your deposit information (credit card numbers or where you can send a check) and securing your rooms -- if I haven't done so already. Please expect a call by the end of the week at the latest from my - my name is Elisa (pronounced "Eh - lee - suh") - and some of the people I already called thought I was a telemarketer!
