Getting together

[VicUser]

There have been several attempts at getting the group of us together to meet. I have an idea and will, with the help of a cohort, take care of all the planning if we can get enough people interested.

I am thinking a Carnival Cruise Line cruise in January of 2009. 7 days in length going either the eastern or western Caribbean. The cost as it stands right now would be about $1000 per person plus travel cost getting to the port in Miami or Ft. Lauderdale. The rooms are double occupancy, so if you would be coming alone we can figure out who would want to room with whom.

I am serious about doing this and would like to hear from those of you that would really plan on going. If we can get enough people to sign up I will make it happen.

That has been tried before and it never materializes and besides with the security getting on the ship the serial killers will have to leave their weapons at home.

This would be pretty cool, but I can already see the look on my very "conservative" husband's face when I tell him I am going on a cruise with a bunch of my forum friends.  First thing he would say is, "Susan, this could be a bunch of serial killer."  I will tell him, NAH, just a bunch of junkies.  LOL !

Are we sure we want to get a group of recovering addicts on a boat for a week.  Could get pretty hairy.  Is there somewhere we could get together "on land" that is a mid-point for all of us?

I was trying to go a little higher to cover all the extra cost. After going on several cruises I found out the price they advertise is not what it will cost in the long run, but I think if we say $1000 then if it is cheaper all would be good. someone could use the money for the bar or excursions (sp).

I have been on Royal Caribbean too, there are some things Iike better somethings I don't. It's a toss up, but I thought that if we had a plan then it might happen.

Oh mercy i need to explain this nicely dont i???  Back in the day when we all would get together on the dike road we would all jump in someones car and go out to the gravel roads and do many illegal things, therefore cruising in the car.  We used to take a trip and never leave the farm too!!!!!  Im not trying to be bad or rude or offend anyone so dont anyone take it that way.  Boy does this date me.........30 plus years ago!!!!

i was looking at cruises the other night...so after seeing this post i looked again.  you can find cruises alot cheaper.  carnival has some for 7 days that run around 5-600 dollars.  using a travel agent even gets a little better price...or at least it always has for me.

royal caribbean is alot nicer :) (or is that carribean?  never could spell that word)

My passport took 3 weeks and I didn't expedite it. The longest it should take is 4-6 weeks. I just had to do this obviuosly for the honeymoon.
