[sarlin]

Sorry about the double post! I can't figure out how to delete the second one in the edit mode. Anyone know?

[DGryg]

Good Morning Everyone !!!

 

If this 10/18/10 cruise garners enough interest from others, Cruise Critic will make us an OFFICIAL GROUP CRUISE and Crucon will give us reduced deposits, pricing, amenities, etc. We need a minimum of 8 cabins to make a group. I've emailed Laura at Cruise Critic Group Cruise Dept. and spoken with Johna at Crucon.

 

This itinerary is fantastic.

 

This cruise is a winner!!!

 

Please let others know to stop by and post their interest and we'll have an OFFICIAL GROUP CRUISE in no time.

I believe this date (10/18/10) will be the first Miracle itinerary going to Aruba and Curacao. I don't believe Carnival has another Aruba/Curacao combination. Does anyone know?

[DGryg]

I thought everyone might enjoy John Heald's article about Miracle's new itinerary and especially Aruba. He writes so well and is hilarious at the same time. http://johnhealdsblog.com/2009/10/15/going-dutch/

[bluehenfan]

Sounds good. Especially if we could get reduced deposits - Going on my 3rd cruise in less then 8 months in January, so I need to build my travel fund back up a bit. LOL I took a good friend from work whose husband hates to travel, on her 1st cruise on the Glory last month and she is hooked. I mentioned this one in 10/10 and she said yes, yes, yes !! Sandee (and Karen)

[DGryg]

Welcome Sandee and Karen! It is so very easy to get hooked on cruising. Would you and Karen be sharing a cabin or do you travel with others? You'll have almost a year to save up for this one.

 

Here is our Updated Cruiser List:

Woo Hoo !

 

 

[bluehenfan]

No, just Karen and myself, so just one cabin. I'm a widow who loves to travel and Karen's husband tells her to go and have fun - just don't ask him to travel. We were coworkers who got to talking about seeing the UK. That was our first trip. Next I talked her into a cruise -she kept saying she'd be bored. I chose my favorite - eastern caribbean and like I said earlier, she was hooked. Still talks about it every time I see her. Now hopefully our 3rd trip together will be southern caribbean in 10/10 ! Only stop I've been to before is Grand Turk. Excited about seeing new places.

[DGryg]

I've always wanted to do a Southern Caribbean cruise and this itinerary is perfect. Out of the 4 ports, I also have only been to Grand Turk so this will be special.

A group cruise rate is less expensive and there's no obligation on anyone's part to particpate in any planned group activities.

 

[actresslp]

My husband and I are looking at this sailing. How does this reduced deposit work? Are we able to book directly through our usual carnival rep? Thanks!

[cruzship21]

Hi there - I love these ports and I love the ship. My wife and I would be very interested in joining the group on this sailing. I've never been to Curarco (spelt that wrong) and always

wanted to go there - I love the Southern Route. We just went to Turks and Caico's on the Destiny and love it there. We woudl love to get a group rate and reduced deposit as we just got off the Explorer last week. We cruise 4 times a year so this one is perfect for us.

Usually go on RCCL as we are Diamond Plus members but we are trying to branch out now

and pick what every suits us the best rather then sticking with one cruise line specially since cruise lines have cut back so much on loyal perks. We got nothing on the last cruise. Not even chocolates on the pillow at night.

Sounds like it would work for us...let us know details annnnd hello from a New Bedfordite now in the flat lands of America :D

[DGryg]

Actresslp: All cruisers book the group cruise with the same agent designated by Laura of Cruise Critic once the cruise is OFFICIAL. A group cruise becomes official when there are a sufficient number of people interested in that cruise. Reduced deposits are a perk when booking a group cruise.

 

Many times the reduced deposit for a group cruise would have terms very similar to the following: A reduced deposit of $25 per person is available for double occupancy, guarantee cabin assignments until March __, 2010, or while inventory lasts. The full per person deposit of $300 is required for triples, quads, suites and cabin assignments. The second deposit of $275 per person is due April __, 2010 for those who book at the reduced deposit. The final payment for the group is due June __, 2010

 

We'd love to have you join us on what will be another fantastic adventure!

I've never been to Curacao either, but I hear it's absolutely beautiful. I truly wish I could cruise 4 times a year. You are so very lucky. I'll place your names on the interested Cruisers List. Check in from time to time as we're waiting to become OFFICIAL.

Hey Debbie & Dave, it's Keith & Debbie from around the corner in Norton, Ma.

 

This cruise is just what I've been looking for. The full deposits been holding me back. Daughters getting married in Jan., meaning funds are a little low. So really hoping for the reduced deposit.

 

DH and I were on the Legend in May and loved the anytime dining.

 

I'll be waiting details!!!

 

Love-to-Ride: This is also my b-day week, what a perfect way to spend it.:D
