West Coast Posted July 12, 2004 #152 Share Posted July 12, 2004 I've been checking around for some pricing for this date - I think it's a wise move to stay away from the summer months. And with the new time frame you never know... the skys may turn out to be very blue! Can't wait to see what the group price works out to be :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emerald777 Posted July 12, 2004 #153 Share Posted July 12, 2004 The skys won't have any choice! We've put in our request far enough in advance to assure nothing but blue skys, gentle breezes and calm seas! I'm not free to divulge exactly how we did this, but it's time for me to restock my supplies of eye of newt and tiddlywink feet ! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daWoods Posted July 13, 2004 #155 Share Posted July 13, 2004 Tiddley Winks are wonderful little animals native to many areas of the world. They are seldom seen, but are fascinating little creatures. So fascinating in fact, that someone created a game named after them. They don't walk as much as they hop, here to there, there to here, and back again. They've been known for ages, so long in fact that the origin of the name is lost in time. Their diet is primarily insects and earthworms, but they've been known to eat larger things, especially if there's enough of them in a swarm. They tend to overwhelm the prey, then ingest it. Tiddleys, as they're known, are not social beings, at least when it comes to humans. They don't seem to trust us, possibly because the first humans they came in contact with had a tendency to press on their backsides to see them hop into a container of some kind, where they were trapped. Hope this sheds a little light. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But you forgot to add that they come in a variety of colors, have a hard, almost plastic like outer skin and their mating call sounds like "Ka-Plink....Ka-Plink.....Ka-Plink......Ka-Plink". And let me tell you! Trying to get those little feet of theirs is a very difficult job! Caro - I will guess that you get the rates on Friday, July 16th! Do we have to guess the time too?? If so, my prediction is a 12:38 pm. [center][img]http://p.webshots.com/ProThumbs/72/45972_wallpaper280.jpg[/img][/center] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daWoods Posted July 13, 2004 #158 Share Posted July 13, 2004 It's unfortunate that you've had to move it to early June. That let's us out because of business committments. The original date of July 24th was perfect. Oh well, maybe next time. :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigDave Posted July 14, 2004 #159 Share Posted July 14, 2004 Is it early June, not late July??? Damn, I (and my group) can only make late July also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NitaBcruising Posted July 14, 2004 #161 Share Posted July 14, 2004 [b][size=3][color=navy]My guess is, Mon. 19th at 11:00 am.

Northender Posted July 14, 2004 #163 Share Posted July 14, 2004 Heck, I'll jump in here and hope for tonight by 11pm. It looks as tho we may be out of this one also as June is never good for us for a vacation. Heck, I was warming up to singing North to Alaska with y'all. :eek: Anyway, maybe Caro can get Princess to re-think???? OK, Nita - now you can root for me to be right. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
debcruising2004 Posted July 14, 2004 #164 Share Posted July 14, 2004 OK, I'm guessing July 21.....I'll be at sea on the Conquest that day making my way to Jamaica:D ....guess I'll find out who wins when I return......June or July is fine with me because I'm a teacher...I've been to Alaska once and so far its the prettiest place I've seen.

I've started a new thread here on Princess and will email everyone tomorrow or Friday... since I have to get this done tonight:rolleyes: [url="http://www.cruisecritic.com/interests/groups.cfm?ID=59"]http://www.cruisecritic.com/interests/groups.cfm?ID=59[/url] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GottoCruise Posted July 15, 2004 #170 Share Posted July 15, 2004 I'm out--prices too high for me - not even "high" season.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emerald777 Posted July 15, 2004 #171 Share Posted July 15, 2004 Yea!! Prices! Actually, compared to the rates on Travelocity, they are pretty good! The Mini-Suite is 200.00 pp cheaper and the balcony is 150.00 pp less. And that's not counting the 50.00 cabin credit. The only cat not quite a bit cheaper is the single rate which is actually one dollar more than the Travelocity rate. Maybe Crucon made a mistake on that one?? If the prices drop, won't they adjust the group price too? I guess because it's a new ship it's a little more expensive? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northender Posted July 15, 2004 #172 Share Posted July 15, 2004 Well, that pricing just burst my bubble. Plus airfare from Boston, don't think we can do it unless because I DID WIN, a free trip is the prize :) I will keep watching to see if anything changes, like the date????? End of July would have been much better Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Host Caroline Posted July 17, 2004 Author #173 Share Posted July 17, 2004 End of July was 500 pp higher pretty much..I've updated the post above so hope you will check it out... believe me, the change in date is primarily to get the pricing down.. which was a huge concern to us as well.
