Good Morning everyone! Who's calling Johna today and booking?? you know you want to!

 

Shake those winter blahs and book a cruise!

[Kissyfur19]

There was a great review of this intinerary just posted....I can't wait to go even more! (Even though I'm totally overwhelmed as to what to do in each port!)

Yeah, not a clue what to do either. Just figuring this is going to be one of those relax on the beach and eat a bunch of food vacations..... Maybe that should be our group name. LOL

Although I'm not "officially" part of the group, as I had booked this cruise before it was a group thing, I would still like to take part in any group activities you may do (i.e. bar crawls, meet & greets, etc.).

I have Grand Turk and Aruba figured out, but am still at a loss for D.R. and Curacao. Any suggestions out there for these ports for me and my 2 girls (will be 7 & 4 at the time of the cruise)?

Haven't got that far into ports either. Leaving tomorrow on my Destiny cruise and will be enjoying that one before I get too obsessive (I like your title by the way) about planning this one. I saw o nthe ports of call board that someone had gotten a group rate at and AI resort for the DR. However I'm waiting until closer to time to decide that one. I sponsor a child through Compassion Interational in DR. I've met her last year on my mission trip down there. So there is a possibility of meeting her again when we are there, depending on a few things. So that would be super cool:D

 

Even though you are already booked you're more than welcome to call Johna and switch your booking over to the group and you will be "Official"!

[ajhunt2]

Happy Hump Day everyone!!

 

Hope you all are enjoying this day and have better weather than I am at the moment. Cold and rainy is not my ideal weather.

 

So to lighten the mood and post some positive thoughts, here's another pic of one of our LOVELY ports of call on this trip.

Who's joining us on this cruise? Make sure to post and say hi!

You are more than welcome to join us on any of the activities...we are not selective! :) I'm sure we'll be planning stuff as we get closer.

I was booked on another CC group however due to a conflict with dates I had to cancel & book with your group. I am sad to cancel the other group but Happy to cruise with this group at the same time ! I love the Itinerary, both the old & new so the change does not both me !!!

 

I am from Toronto ON, Canada. I have only been on one cruise so far but have been having post cruise depression since ! I am working on booking a few others also ! This will be my first CC group. I will be cruising with my Sister Jennifer & my Friends Bonnie & Heather, they are Sisters also. I am the only one in my Group that has cruised so far (They don't know what they have been missing). None of them are on CC however I am trying to encourage them to join ! Do you have a Facebook group ? They would be more likley to chat there.

 

I don't know anything about any of the Ports. I have been to DR at an all inclusive in the past, beautiful place.

 

I have a cruise name suggestion.... not sure it if was used before? I might have seen it ? I don't know how it popped in my head ?!

 

8 DAYS OF FREEDOM !!! :rolleyes:

 

Now I just have to change my signature. :)

 

Have a good day all !!

I also didn't think about starting a FB group - that might be a good idea!! Hmmm....Will get back to you on that. :)

 

Also - where in Ontario are you from?

[Kissyfur19]

Whoops - duplicate post! Sorry!

[Sunnyday2010]

I LOVE 8 days of Freedom also ! I did a search & don't find another cruise with that name ?! 18 days of Freedom sounds better !! LOL

 

We are from the GTA (General Toronto Area) We all all in our Mid-Late 30's :eek:

 

Bonnie & I have Kids... Jennifer & Heather have no kids.

We are all Fun People & love to have a good time! We have been Friends since Kindergarden !

Very cool!! Toronto is one of my favorite cities....lots of good memories there. We used to go there alot when I lived in the Northeast. I'm in FL now. :)

 

I believe we are all pretty close in age, btw! (atleast out of those booked so far). My sister is Cyndi...who is booked in one of our other cabins and my parents (and maybe some of their friends) are thinking about coming to have a good time with us. We'll see!

Amanda and i are a little shy of your age, but we seem to get along w/ everyone. Or as I'm told I can talk to a wall.

Oh you're close enough!! :p And yes - you, like me, can strike up a conversation with a wall!

Northeast Ontario ? Where ? That is Wonderful that you are travelling with so much of your Family ! Another set of Sisters !! :) I have been trying to get my Family to cruise with me !! But it just does not seem to work out ?! I am contemplating joining the Alaska cc group that was just started.... depending if they will come ? I want to do Alaska with my Mother, she will LOVE it !

 

@conradevan Hi to you & Amanda ! What is your real name ?

Ooooh - whoops. I meant Northeast US. I'm originally from NJ....but my sis and I have friends in Buffalo, NY and the Toronto area so we used to spend alot of time up there.

 

And if you are thinking about doing ALaska - GOOOOOO!!! We did last fall (with Evan & Amanda and Sarah & Clint two other couples from this sailing...who we met on on our Alaska trip). I cannot say enough how beautiful Alaska is. We had a fantastic vacation (6 months later I'm still talking about it).

[Kissyfur19]

Bumping up to the top....who else wants to join us??? :)

[Sunnyday2010]

Good Morning !

 

Just popping by to say "Hello" !! :o

[Kissyfur19]

Good morning everyone...happy Monday! This weekend went by way too quick.

 

On a good note...we'll have another couple (my parents, actually) joining us on this trip. They are visiting us in FL this week...and mom said she's going to book next week when they get back home. I <3 my mom & dad....and they are so much fun to cruise with :)

[ajhunt2]

I'm home! Too tired to post a lot tonight but welcome to all the new people. I'll post more tomorrow after I sleep. The day coming home from a cruise is the worst feeling

[Sunnyday2010]

@ajhunt2 WELCOME home !! Hope you had a great cruise !!

@Shelley great news that your Parents are coming !

Good afternoon Everyone !

 

Have you booked your room yet ?! I think we will soon... maybe this week ? Just trying to decided which room ? I think we will book a PT cabin ? Any tips ?!

[ajhunt2]

Your fearless leader has returned! LOL. Glad to see you guys kept the thread moving while I was gone. Had a great time in Key West and Cozumel. Just wasn't thrilled with the layout of the Destiny. Got very confusing having to go up and down all the time. They have two dining rooms and the galley is between the two. So you can't walk from one of end of decks 3 and 4 to the other end. You either have to go down to 2 and down the hallway of rooms, or up to 5 and through the casino and such.

Just double checking our roll call here. Everyone added? And is everyone booked with Johna and the official group?

1) Amanda (ajhunt2) and Evan

2) Shelley (Kissyfur19) and Bryan

3) Cyndi and Karla

4) Sarah (Sweetone30) and Clint

5) Lynda (Sunnyday2010) and Bonnie

6) Jennifer & Heather
