OFF. CC 3rd ANNUAL SUPERBOWL/VALENTINE B2B 2/2 & 2/8 2014 ON THE FREEDOM REDUCED DEP.

[cruisingcouple2008]

For anyone who needs a little get into the Freedom mood, you can watch her sail away today at https://www.facebook.com/Ft.Lauderdale.Webcam

 

Now Im not sure if this will get deleted or not for just a simple link directing our folks to watch a sail away but if it does the name of the FB page is Ft. Lauderdale Webcam

 

ENJOY !!!! I will not be able to watch it today but hope some of you enjoy it for me.

[uffdafla]

I use this webcam to watch each week; http://ftlauderdalewebcam.com/

Some times you can watch them load or unload new boats going over seas. Then there is the garden variety high reach crane setting a container onto a ship.

yep that's the same one it was just the fb page link and they could see the the other ports too.

 

 

FLL has one of the best varieties of cameras don't they?

price drop on both weeks of the freedom check with your booking agents and get your price reductions !!!! :d

 

if you are booked as part of the group make sure you contact kathryn at crucon.

 

Look at your rate and determine if you qualify for the reduction ... If you are booked at the group rate and now want to switch to early saver you can do so prior to final payment

Amy,

Thanks for the "heads-up" on the price drop. I had seen the Carnival email and clicked on the info for the b2b - it showed no change in the per person pre tax/port charges. When I went through the type cabin, deck, midship and everything it showed $60 less per cabin for both cruises. Love saving $120 anytime.:cool:

You are very welcome Howard. I too enjoy getting the price drops and hope that there will be some more by the time we sail. I always go right into it also and do a phantom booking to be sure of the prices.

 

Don't you worry about what to do with that $120. bucks I'm sure Kathy can help you figure out what to do with it.;)

[Suziq333]

I have this bookmarked for easy and quick price checking...quicker than doing a phantom booking ;)

This works Howard, but the one I posted is almost instant...then you don't have to go through all the steps of this one :) and for me, it is all about the shortest route !!!

I had checked last night and found $10 per cabin on 2/2 and $20 per cabin on 2/8 less than they were on 6/6. Not much, but might cover a couple days gratuities.

[IslandToIsland]

Wow, haven't been by here in a while! 33 weeks doesn't really sound that bad.....much better than 237 days for the 2nd leg.

Hello Cousin & Other potential cruise friends!! I am almost ready to book the 2nd leg of this cruise with all of you!! Just spent some time reading some of the posts, and to the gal who had concerns about being the odd man (or woman) out because she didn't know anyone, I wanted to reassure you that won't happen. Last cruise I took there was a huge group and I had same concerns but everyone is so friendly, and the cruise critic fun gets everyone talking & having fun right away. :D Looking forward to meeting everyone!

Hey Blgamn Welcome aboard we are always happy to have more people join us and you are ABSOLUTELY right about joining a group. That DOES make it more fun especially for those who do travel solo. We are quite a diverse group and range in age from early 30's to I think later on in life ;). We come from all different backgrounds and the biggest thing is we all accept each others differences or (shall we say oddities ;) ;) ). We too are looking forward to meeting you as well. We have just seen some great price drops on these cruises. The contact person for booking into the group is Kathryn at CruCon as she is the official booking agent for Cruise Critic cruise. Please let me know if you require any assistance in contacting her and I would be happy to help.... Meanwhile tell us a little about yourself... I am Amy and my husband is Austin we are from upstate NY empty nesters and LOVE LOVE LOVE cruising !

 

 

Happy Cruising
