At least we have music to listen to now while we await the announcement. :)

[cruz chic]

My pleasure.:)

 

Thank you too for your helpful information.

[mountainmare]

Is the music a hint?

[qsuzi]

Thank you too for your helpful information.

 

:) Thank you for all the information I've learned from you. This announcement better not be anti climatic.

I'm thinking it will be.

[Oceanwench]

Some of us are bound by the embargo.

I've had all the info sitting in front of me for hours. :p

Lucky you. Are you a travel agent or ?

[Oceanwench]

Anti-climatic depending on your world view.

 

If you have a limited world view, yes.

 

I think it's a wonderful endeavor. :)

Or with an island stay in between.

We can continue dancing while we wait for the announcement "in 5 minutes". :)

Once you can, please share?

 

I'm not about to download something else to listen to an announcement.

 

I think I would prefer the Cole's Notes version:p;)

[Oceanwench]

It's not out on Twitter yet. Cruise Critic is in NYC for the press conference, I see.

 

Not on Miami Herald website yet, though it is past 2.

 

Has nothing to do with current cruise itineraries on the 9 brands.

[qsuzi]

Has music stopped and screen black for anyone else?

[DaveOKC]

It on Yahoo Finance website.

What a cool idea.

 

I know how much helping the childrens' school impacted us, so I can imagine how this would impact people who wanted to help.

 

I like that a portion of the ticket sales also goes to help.

 

Interesting, indeed. Good for Carnival Corp :D

Cruise so you can volunteer in the communities that the ship visits.

It certainly wasn't anything close to the many speculations over the last week. Still processing my opinions on the idea.
