SteveInPDX Posted February 1, 2009 #1 Share Posted February 1, 2009 Hey RSVP Cruisers! Let's build some buzz and excitement for the RSVP Mexican Riviera Cruise! We've got less than 3 months before we set sail and I know I'm getting excited. Let's shout-out a roll call to see who's joining us. Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I spoke with a rep at RSVP and he advised me that the party schedule would be posted in about 2 weeks. As soon as it's up, I'll post a link for those who are interested. Until then... I'd love to hear from others who will be joining us. - Steve Steve,I'll be joining you on the Star. It'll be a fun vacation. Hobie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteveInPDX Posted February 4, 2009 Author #5 Share Posted February 4, 2009 Hey Fellow RSVP Cruisers! For those of you who weren't aware, there is a large contingent of Bears onboard our cruise. WOOF! I have been on numerous "Lazy Bear Cruises" and can tell you, it makes for an awesome time! Check out www.ourbearcruise.com. This website has a pretty extensive list of those sailing with us. You can go there to check out profiles and other information about those on the cruise. Including my partner and I. (Steve and Trey). Also... if you haven't booked yet, email me at twoguysnphx@aol.com. I have an awesome travel agent who really takes care of their clients. They host alot of onboard parties and provide their clients with great of perks. I look forward to talking with ya'll soon. Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
floridaken77 Posted February 17, 2009 #6 Share Posted February 17, 2009 Sweet! Horray for the BEARS!!!! Now I am REALLLY excited that I Just booked!!! See you guys there!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pidaho1971 Posted February 19, 2009 #7 Share Posted February 19, 2009 Hi... My partner and I just finalized our plans. It will be the first RSVP cruise for both of us! Looking forward to it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
floridaken77 Posted February 20, 2009 #8 Share Posted February 20, 2009 All though - they have me a little nervous -- arriving into LAX at 11am is cutting it close ... have to pray for a perfect travel day so I make my connection and everything is running smooth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pidaho1971 Posted February 20, 2009 #9 Share Posted February 20, 2009 I was lucky and got a direct flight to LAX from NOLA for a decent price. We are scheduled to arrive at 9:15 am, or thereabouts... I have no earthly idea how long it will take to get from the airport to the pier, though (and as we all know... Baggage retrieval is a crapshoot!).

floridaken77 Posted February 20, 2009 #10 Share Posted February 20, 2009 as long as I make it to the port by three -- I am good to go --- I saw somewhere its 19 miles from LAX to the port @ San Pedro (where NCL leaves from) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pidaho1971 Posted February 20, 2009 #11 Share Posted February 20, 2009 19 miles? That's not too bad. The agent with RSVP said that there *might* be a shuttle to the pier provided by NCL, but not to count on it. They are supposed to have the info sent with the cruise packet, if it's available. I suppose I'll just count on hailing a cab unless informed otherwise! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
floridaken77 Posted February 21, 2009 #12 Share Posted February 21, 2009 Other options include booking a SuperShuttle (cheaper than a cab) I am hoping for an NCL shuttle - only because if they are running late - they will sometimes hold the ship for you.... The supershuttle works out to be about $30....google it for the address .... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pidaho1971 Posted February 21, 2009 #13 Share Posted February 21, 2009 Oh, yeah- the RSVP rep mentioned the super shuttle service as well- I forgot about that. $30 isn't too bad... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ahhh Posted February 22, 2009 #14 Share Posted February 22, 2009 Supper Shuttle is $17 each way from LAX to the dock in San Pedro. I've done it numerous times. Cab fare is about $65, depending on traffic. PrimeTime Shuttle is $16 I believe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pidaho1971 Posted February 23, 2009 #15 Share Posted February 23, 2009 Super Shuttle, it is! I can have a drink or 2 with the difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteveInPDX Posted February 25, 2009 Author #22 Share Posted February 25, 2009 Hey Guys! Is anyone staying before or after the cruise in LA? If so... I was thinking about setting up a little "Bon Voyage" party on Friday night. Just some drinks at one of the local bars. Let me know your thoughts.

floridaken77 Posted February 25, 2009 #23 Share Posted February 25, 2009 I wish ..

pidaho1971 Posted February 26, 2009 #24 Share Posted February 26, 2009 Same here... We're flying in that morning. I wish ..

SteveInPDX Posted February 26, 2009 Author #25 Share Posted February 26, 2009 Sounds like we'll all need a drink or two or three... etc... when we get onboard. (FYI... my partner and I have discovered a simple trick for you new cruizers. After years of cruizing and holding onto water downed drinks at the parties and on the dance floors, we switched to shots. They're cheaper, stronger and ya get drunk a whole hell of a lot faster. Words of wisdom my friends!!!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
