linsue1231 Posted August 19, 2006 #1 Share Posted August 19, 2006 ***Official Poll to see if there is enough interest in this, will be a cruise critic group cruise, if enough people are interested**** Hi all, My daughter (22) and I wanted to spend some quality/bonding time together so we decided to take a cruise....I mentioned this to a friend and she also wants to go and bring her daughter as a graduation gift. Another girlfriend found out and now she as well as her daughter wants to go.....So this made me think of maybe others would like to go on this type of cruise. I dont think it has to be just mothers and daughters, all women....sisters, best friends....grandmothers. Maybe a better name would be a Womens cruise.... I am trying to see if anyone esle is interested in a Mother & Daughters/Womens Cruise. We can see if we can make it a group cruise. If anyone is interested please let me know, by replying here. Maybe you can tell two friends about this and they can tell two friends......and next thing you know we have enough for a group cruise..:D Linda Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
macdays1 Posted August 19, 2006 #2 Share Posted August 19, 2006 My daughter (23) and I are cruising together in October. This will be our fifth cruise together. When are you planning to go, which ship, itinerary, etc? We love cruising together. Might be interested in one next year, since we're already booked for this one. I'll look forward to your info. Thanks. Maureen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaisyGirl55 Posted August 19, 2006 #3 Share Posted August 19, 2006 My sister, my mother, my aunt, and my cousin have cruised together several times. It is a great way to bond, to be together, and to have fun. We love it because it is all about us, not the kids, or husbands, or laundry, or cooking. We usually take a shorter cruise because it is hard for us to leave everyone on their own for very long, but we still have a blast. Since we all live all over the country, it may be a hard one to organize - but I would definitely be interested in the details! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
linsue1231 Posted August 19, 2006 Author #4 Share Posted August 19, 2006 Macdays1 & Daisygirl Thanks for your interest....I will post some info for possible cruises later today....I see you love bermuda (Macdays1)...it was were we are looking to go, but its not set in stone...also looking to leave from NY, as there is 3 different ports we could leave from. One is in Manhattan, one across the river in New Jersey and the other is a newly open port in Brooklyn. Looking into 5-7 day cruise. But as I said nothing is set in stone yet.

bonitah69 Posted August 20, 2006 #9 Share Posted August 20, 2006 My mother (72) & I (47) are cruising together for the 3rd time on Sept 8th. A womens cruise sounds like a real good idea. We're from PA so a NY or NJ departure would be very convenient for us. I'll check back to see what you come up with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
love2vacation Posted August 20, 2006 #10 Share Posted August 20, 2006 I love this idea, but I can only go during breaks until graduation 6/08. Youngest DD and I are both in college and will graduate 6/08. At least I will, she might have another semester!!;) I would love to take both girls on a mother daughter cruise, excellent idea! You read my thoughts because this is on my to do list, as well as taking all three kids and DH on a different cruise as well! Maybe someone will post this idea again.

macdays1 Posted August 21, 2006 #14 Share Posted August 21, 2006 I would love to try one of the new ships. Not really sure about the itinerary yet, but I am interested. Please post more as you come up with them. Thanks, Maureen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
linsue1231 Posted August 21, 2006 Author #15 Share Posted August 21, 2006 Anyone else interested so far.... Linda Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lhall85917 Posted August 21, 2006 #16 Share Posted August 21, 2006 Sounds fun, but we are also only available during school breaks as I teach school and DD is in college. If anyone is interested, we have some mother/daughters going on our group in June. Then perhaps we could join up with some others for your group if it would be in 2008.

linsue1231 Posted August 22, 2006 Author #17 Share Posted August 22, 2006 Ihall, Well then I guess we will just have to do another one for 2008 :D ...any reason to cruise is fine with me...I can hear myself now telling DH, Well I'm sorry but Ihall could not make the 2007 one we are going to have to do another one in 08...lol:p Linda Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ecslady Posted August 22, 2006 #18 Share Posted August 22, 2006 I think it's a great idea. I've been wanting to take my daughter (23) on a cruise. As my daughter is a teacher, it's spring break or summer for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
linsue1231 Posted August 22, 2006 Author #19 Share Posted August 22, 2006 ecslady, Well this seems to be the general problem with getting this up and running, so lets see what I can find in that time frame...I was looking more or less to later on in the year of 2007 to give people time to plan or save up for it. I have posted a few choices, but will now post a few with spring break or summer in mind. Lets see if that works out better. Linda Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

linsue1231 Posted August 29, 2006 Author #21 Share Posted August 29, 2006 Hi all, I am leaning towards taking the 5 day cruise to bermuda. Now just have to figure out the date. Last week in Aug or sept thru first week in oct. 2007. There are I think 3 dates..have to go back and look for them...lol. I will get back to you guys on the dates....and If no one is really interested well maybe next year we can plan one for sure. But I am going still...lol :D Linda Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
love2vacation Posted August 29, 2006 #22 Share Posted August 29, 2006 I am tentatively planning a Spring Break 2008 cruise anyway with DH and a couple friends. ( Just waiting for all ITNs to appear before we book.) I probably won't do one with DD in the same year, but you never know.:D It seems there are a lot of us that can only cruise during school breaks and it really makes it that much harder to plan. Since we are from the midwest, it is a flight to NY or Florida for us, so either way we wouln't be able to drive to port. Good luck with your planning. Hopefully some day I can do the girls only cruise thing, when we are all settled into jobs again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bonitah69 Posted August 29, 2006 #23 Share Posted August 29, 2006 Hi Linda, Bermuda is one of my favorite islands :D so I would be interested in that one. It's just a shame the cruise lines have changed from a 7 day to a 5 day Bermuda cruise. Let me know what dates you come up with & I will see if my mother is interested. If she's not, I may just go myself anyway :) Bonnie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
