Cruise from Baltimore!! Grandeur of the Seas!

I just posted this on the group cruise board, but thought I would also post over here to see if anyone was interested.

Just looking for anyone interested in joining us for our cruise next summer/fall on Royal Carribean's Grandeur of the Seas. It is a 5 night cruise that goes to Bermuda.

Here are some possible dates:

August 13

August 27

September 24

October 8

October 22

We would be willing to go in June or July as well. However, the best prices look to be in late Aug or Sept/Oct. I guess this is due to hurricanes, but I'm thinking since we are going to Bermuda that may not be as much of an issue as the Carribean. I don't have any definites yet. I'm just looking for anyone who would be interested first.

This cruise is perfect for those who live in the mid-atlantic region because you would not have to fly.

We saw a lot of large groups on our first cruise last year and we thought it looked like a lot of fun. So, let's try and get a group together!!

Please post if you are interested and the dates that work best for you!!

Would love to see you guys...........we are going on a western caribbean out of Baltimore 7 july, 2006. There are 7 of us girls.....no hubbies or kids. We are all prior or still military and have known each other for over 15 years.................if you chnage your itinerary...........let us know!!!!! And if not, have a great cruise!

We are doing Grandeur's 9 night sailing August 18, 2006. We got a group rate and already have about 24 people going. Anyone interested post here and I can send you details. We might even have a bus going down to Baltimore from NJ area, but have some people in the MD area as qwell going. All are welcome.:p

I'm so jealous-- a 9 night cruise!! I think that may be a little out of our pricerange. Did you get an awesome deal by going with a large group? Can I have details please. We will probably still stay with our 5 night, though, but it might be worth checking into.

Thanks,

Jen

If you want details of what we got email me at tdembek@optonline.net and I will send them to you. The price is not much more than the 5 night, you would be surprised, plus if you got teh Crown & Anchor magazine, there is a coupon iin it that you could use towards our group.

Just wondering what rate you got. We got a great group rate, but just want to confirm it's as good as we could get. We are traveling 8/18/06, but wanted to compare it to your sailing. Thanks.

We are staying in the Royal Family Suite and it averaged out to about 1,600 per person. Not sure if that is a great deal, but we wanted to all be together in the same room.....we only do this every 3 years and it is just the girls no husbands or kids! .......and we looked into oceanview with balconies that connected...........there were not 3 that connected just 2 and the price came out about the same. Please realize that we are not rich by any means and we only get to do this every three years and I can tell you, we have been saving from the last day of our last reunion! LOL We have alot of "things" planned for our cruise for the group. I am making each of the girls personalized tote bags, we have door decorations for our cabin door for everyday, we have a "scavenger" hunt planned for just us....should be interesting! (Would love to give you some of the required finds, but this post would probably get kicked off! LOL) I will leave it to say that it will include us having to get other passengers involved somewhat, but will be totally harmless to all involved.........just a great time! I am sure our biggest bill will be alcohol and shopping, but what fun!

If you need any info on Baltimore, let me know I am about 30 minutes from there and more than willing to help!

Hm....

Would we be able to swap ideas of what to do for a group? I have put together a newsletter, with infor for our upcoming cruise if you would share some of your ideas of group activities. I am always looking for ideas. My email is tdembek@optonline.net If you send me an email, I can forward you the monthly newsletter that will have cruising articles, articles on the ports and cruising tips. I can put you on the monthly distribution list if you'd like.

I sent you an email about also being include on the group cruise idea swap. I'm not sure how much I have to share at this point, because this is my first one.

Jen

For anyone interested I will share any and all of my "girls" cruise stuff. Please feel free to contact me by e-mail at hmsulli@msn.com with questions or requests. I have spent alot of time doing research about the cruise, shore excursions, group activities, packing lists, don't forget before you leave home.................etc. I have a whole 3 inch binder of all my "stuff" that i have collected! I have been given the new nick-name "Julia the Cruise Director" by the girls! LOL Just being on a cruise is awesome enough, but the memories you make on that cruise with your group will make it even better! I look forward to hearing from you!

August 13

Gets my vote! I could soooo book this....

p.s. party of 5...

Hey Beth,

Would you mind posting this on the group forum. I think we need to have some interest over there before we can begin getting group rates from the travel agents. Here is the link:

I have done some research on my own for this cruise and it looks like August is a lot more expensive due to it being in the summer (kids off school). I'm still considering it, but I also have my eye on October 8th. Would that work for you?

Jen

I'm going on the Grandeur of the Seas, 9 day Caribbean with several friends on the 11 Nov 2005 sailing. Any good hints for this ship?

Barry

beardawgie - we have a thread for the Nov 11, 2005 thread. Come on over and join us.

Did you and your group sign up for the Meet and Mingle? We only need a few more for a party.

Please give us travelers of August of next year a heads up on how the 9 day cruise goes. Any info you have when you get back would be much appreciated.
