Group Cruise 2007?

mrsogni · December 30, 2005

Joe (JDiddy) and I sail May and November also. 2006 we have the Brilliance Transatlantic 4/28/06 and the Freedom 11/5/06 but we haven't scheduled anything for 2007 yet. South America and the Acapulco/Cabo cruises sound great. Joan we sail first week of November for Joe's BD as well.

south America sounds good........ we have done the Mexican run to death.. but as a team player we are open to all suggestions :grin:

Mrs. Ogni, both of our birthdays are in November: Joe 11/3, Joan 11/24. We normally have our November vacation between the two birthdays; but for 2006 it will be the day after Joan's birthday (11/25/06 Noordam). A November 2007 group cruise would be great, but it's mostly too early to have the schedules. Most lines are booking cruises through early April, 2007, but not much later.

So it appears at this time we have at least 3 couples taht are willing to look at cruises around late october /November time frame.....

What would you guys consider either Itinerary or Length.. who wants to comment first?

JoeyandDavid · December 30, 2005

We personally like the 9-12 night cruises but understand that we may be able to have more crazies join us if we make it a standard 7/9 night thing. So I am Voting for length over Itinerary, unless there is no support then it is as always default Itinerary.

I truly would like to see a bunch of us get together and show the Cruiseline thereÃ¢â‚¬â„¢s more than one Cruise Thread site on the Web..

Looks like this thread has been sitting dormant since December, Did the Group Cruise fall off the radar?? :undecided:

Unfortunately, at this time, we can only cruise when the school calendar allows. However, if things work out the way I hope, DD will be at college in another 4 years and then we'll be able to talk turkey. l :wink:

Believe it or not, Joey, some of us like to spend holidays with the non-cruising members of our family. That's why our next cruise starts two days AFTER Thanksgiving. The other problem is travel. This year's cruise starts the Saturday after Thanksgiving, in NYC. Fine, no plane travel over a busy weekend. Next year we saw two mouthwatering itineraries for the Saturday after Thanksgiving: one from Barbados, one from St. Thomas. We decided that this wasn't possible: we don't want to fly at that time. Unfortunately, neither cruise line has a good cruise for ustwo weeks earlier, when the date would be perfect: most of our desired ships are doing nonstop transatlantics then.

Subject to change, we doubt we'll be on a cruise ship in 2007. We simply can't find the right itinerary at the right time and price. If we love the Noordam, which has 500 more PAX than the largest ship on which we've sailed, we might change our minds.
