Its not like it will be hard to get to any location on the ship, you can only go so far before you hit water..

That reminds me of a couple of cruises ago, a yng teen girl was walking on Lido TEXTING and ended up walking right into the pool! (Actually she tripped on the ledge and fell face first into the shallow water)!

Well 2 weeks guys! I am SO looking forward to this getaway! And I actually do look forward to meeting you guys!

As for excursions... me and my friend haven't decided yet.

I know Grand Turk is a beach day, maybe some snorkeling?

Dominican Republic, NO CLUE! Told it isn't very safe so, we all have to stick together... GOT SUPERGLUE?)

As for Aruba and Curacao.... they are pretty islands on their own. But open to possibilities!

I probably won't decide until after we set sail.

OK.... 2 WEEKS!

DOC :cool:

OK...let's make it official! Let's have our own meet n greet on the first evening of the cruise... I have chosen ANYTIME DINING so my schedule is flexible. How about we figure out a time and just do it!

You all are lucky to do B2B sailings.

Tag, your it!

:cool:

WELCOME "Real Cute"! Love saying that! Glad you will be joining on this sailing. I am going as single but an old friend from HS (str8) is also coming!!!We will be catching up for the last XX years! Haa You thought I would reveal my age???

Anyway, RealCute, tell us about the two of you...

Looking forward to 8 days away from the insanity!

:cool:

I just booked an escape cruise for this coming Monday (9/15)!!! I HAD TO! The price is $156 for inside or $171 for oceanview + 58 for fees. 5 days for $239???? Had to do it! The Extacy going from Miami to Key West & Cozumel!

:cool:

Anyone out there? Geesh.... I have never seen roll call boards so quiet.... Oh well, I will have a great cruise regardless. Ohh posted to go to top of listings... hehehe

:cool:

Welcome Nja0318. We will have a fun time!

But I AM curious.... you said sailing with your Mom and Aunt will be "INTERESTING"..... because they are wild n crazy? They will fit right in! LOL...

So, Gordon and Nja0318 (name you go by?) wanna grab a cocktail on sailaway day?

Let me know, where and when!

:cool:

Whew! I was worried you wouldn't have left any cocktails onboard for the rest of us! I ordered Amaretto for my cabin.....(Bon Voyage) The bottles used to be $40 last year or so... now $80!

I have an acquaintance that now lives in DC..his g/f is the aide for Congressman Deutch from S Fla.

I don't think this Left wing, Liberal, Pinko, Progressive could handle living in DC! hehehehe

:cool:

Ahhhhh, soon we will be onboard and escaping the troubles of the world... can I move onboard permanently? ;) So, where are you from Gordon? I am in West Palm Beach...Florida. I grew up in Miami Beach.

Will have beads on as well for boarding day and then for the other meet n greet!

Gordon, This cruise I am NOT bringing a Halloween Costume.. the last one I took I went as the Mad Hatter.... I will be happy watching others this time! HAAA

Yes by posting this will remain near the top.

Kinda surprised there are no others piping up! On the 'other' roll call.. it appears all are couples, from what they are saying..oh well....

This will be a much needed getaway for me.....

Chat again soon!

:cool:

Gordon, I will be looking for you after boarding.....haaaa

I agree...WHERE ARE ALL THE OTHERS?

IT'S a HALLOWEEN CRUISE!!!

:confused:

Well I am looking forward to meeting you onboard.... I am sailing single but I do have a friend from high school also cruising on this one. Anyway..this will be fun and I am so ready for the getaway!

I have never done a back to back... so please tell me all about it when we meet.

:cool:

So it looks like I will be the only Gay person on this Halloween sailing! Where IS everyone? Oh well... I do like those str8 bois! hehehe

Hello...Hello....Hello...Hello!

Hi, I couldn't find any other Roll Call for this sailing in the G & L section. There IS a regular Roll Call. I am certain I won't be the only Gay person on this sailing.... please raise your hand if you will be on this cruise!

If there is another post..I apologise.

DOC :cool:

Booked on the Carnival Liberty Sept 15 sailing to Grand Turk, St Thomas, San Juan (PR) and Half Moon Cay...

Join in!

DOC :cool:

Hmmmm, if you post the site by spelling out WITH spaces... you can do it... example "travel gay and single at sea dot com"

I used to book live poker groups on Carnival, brought 60 or so onboard for tourneys and cash games. I had an agreement with Carnival to do this and if it weren't for the other poker cruise operator taking advantage of Carnival, I would still have contract with Carnival. Due to this disrespect of Carnival, they chose to go with POKER PRO computer poker table. I HATE IT like many that have played it. I may as well play on UB! Oh well, this is the corporate 'beard' think.

:cool:

West Palm single guy here! I go on about 2-3 cruises per year. Next one is Carnival Liberty Sep 6, 08, then Grand Princess 12/19/08 - 1/2/09. 14 days!! Anyone know about these ships? Anyone going? ;)

As always, Poker cruises should run about $100 a day. This is standard for a cruise. If you go on a 5 day cruise, it should cost about $500 per person.

:D

There are plenty of choices for a poker cruise.

Of course you can do a google search and see the displays.

But, you have to know what you are looking for, before you choose one.

There are large companies that have plenty of resources to market their cruises. They hold large events onboard and are very well run. However, you may get lost in the crowd as they do attract large numbers of players, plus many of the players make a living playing poker. But they can offer WPT or WSOP seats and large payouts.

Then there are smaller companies that cater to the 'casual' player. They usually have 50-100 players on each sailing. The games are professionally run and offer a real casino type poker room, yet they are more player friendly and as I said before, attract the home game player, the bar poker league player or the online player. Prizes are based on the number of players and your will find both 'live' poker tournaments as well as sit n go cash games. *(usually a $1-2 NL, a $2-5 NL and even a $5-10 NL)

Make certain the Poker Cruise you choose is with an established company. I have heard nightmare stories of 'self' deal games, dealers that are overly 'chummy' with a few friends that came as players and a few that only hold one elimination tournament during the cruise. If you get knocked out the first day... that's it for your poker play.

But if you do your research, you will have a great time on a Poker Cruise. How better to combine your two passions.... cruising and poker!

If you do decide to go on one, I personally would love to hear about your experience!

:D
