Yeah, that's a little heavy on the Sea days. How about Princess? Do they have any interesting itineraries?

[GoinCruisin]

They have the Golden Princess and the Crown Princess that do these...

San Juan

St Thomas

St Kitts

Grenada

Isla Margarita

Aruba

Sea

San Juan

 

And

 

San Juan

[Bunkie103]

Here's one on the Destiny:

Sun: San Juan

Mon. St. Thomas

Tues. Dominica

Wed. Barbados

Thurs. Sea day

Fri. Aruba

Sat. Sea day

Sun. San Juan

 

That's an interesting itinerary if only the airfare to San Juan wasn't such a beotch! :eek:

[Bunkie103]

I LIKE Isla Margarita....sounds like a fun place!:D

[corina27]

I LIKE Isla Margarita....sounds like a fun place!:D

You beat me to it!!:pI bet we can find a Margarita there:)

[GoinCruisin]

Yeah, that sounded nice to me too! I'm thinking this is the same place? If so, the guys might like it right off the bat :p

WOW! I love those Princess itins!! I say we throw a dart at a dart board to choose!

[GoinCruisin]

Randy will have to let us know how he thinks the group would do on Princess :p LOL...

[BrendaB1]

I'm out if you do RCL or Panama Canal. Neither are of interest to me. :(

[Bunkie103]

Someone I work with keeps trying to shove RCL down my throat, so I'm not real hot on that one either!:rolleyes: I think we're Princess material!;) and if we have the $$ who's to say we aren't. Would not consider HAL either!

Definitely not HAL!!! YIKES!!! I'd like to try Princess... I'm going on RCL next month, not by choice, but hey...it's a cruise :D Hopefully Carnival will rearrange some of their ships/schedules when the Freedom comes out... They really need some work on their itineraries. But that Golden Princess cruise does have an awesome itinerary!! The balcony cabins on that cruise are listing at $1049... so that's not too bad.

[Bunkie103]

My youngest son and his then fiancee (now wife) went on Princess last Thanksgiving. Other than never cruising over a Holiday they really liked it.

Here's a kicker, return airfare on Sunday after Thanksgiving back to Philly cost more than their mini-suite on the ship!:eek: :eek:

[GoinCruisin]

I know... air is not cheap to SJ. Right now, this Oct from RDU would be $450... which isn't terrible, but it's going to be much higher for alot of people. Still hoping a good one will pop up out of somewhere closer... Good thing is, there is still plenty of time :D

[bjr928]

Good thing is, there is still plenty of time :D

 

NO!!! We must decide NOW!!!! :D:rolleyes:

[SpringTxGal]

Okay, the other thing... the itins above are for RCL... I will put some Carnival ones in, but I really like those RCL itineraries... is anyone going to be partial to Carnival?? Who knows, maybe the Freedom will do a Southern or Eastern... or they will add a few more. I have not been on Destiny, but it is not one that screams out to me either...

 

As much as I love CCL, I'd like to try a new line, just like I'd like to try a new part of the Caribbean!

 

Of course, DD20 just called and told me she got in a car accident. Her fault.

 

Did I mention that her deductible is $1k??? On my policy??? I think I'm gonna get sick. :(

We like the ships, but we don't like 'em that much! :eek:

[AuntieBon]

OK I admit it I'm a cruise s**t. I will sail any cruiseline to anywhere if the price is right!

 

Love all the sea days too :D

[Sea Turtle]

I'm with BB1. No RCI for me either--three cruises with them was enough. And, I've been all the way through the Canal and once is enough of that as well.

 

Would love to return to St Kitts, and Barbados is an all-time favorite of mine (lots of sea turtles and flying fish).

 

If thinking of San Juan as the departure port, I would select a Princess cruise. From personal experience and from reading numerous reviews Princess tends to attract the least amount of local cruisers. While I've nothing against the fine people of Puerto Rico, I am just not interested in cruising when the primary language spoken onboard is not English.

 

Aaahhh, selection and planning of a cruise--my favorite part of the cruise experience! :D

 

Enjoy the day!

My liver is starting to shut down with me just thinking of all the sea days:eek:

 

The Eastern or Southern I believe I could even convince Beth to do.

 

I can only imagine the warm welcome the S&S III grope would receive on Martinique, though... (if said Southern itinerary is chosen)

 

Randy, you still owe us a drink from our missed Coz connection, so that's more ammo to use on the ol DW;)

[iluvdoxies]

Chris, we did that same Legend itin a few years ago--loved it, loved it.

 

ANd it;s an 8 dayer!

I agree--it is a great route!! I did that itinerary on the Spirit. Only difference was it departed from Miami.

Without getting myself in trouble I must admit I have not heard great things about Carnival departures from SJU. Kind of puts me in mind of our "Panamanian Experience" on the Valor Vampires!

 

:o

[Randy & Carmen]

LOL.......Bunkie...I so get the Valor reference.....lol:D

 

Appleboy...you owe ME a drink...I was there!:D

 

GC, you KNOW our grope could sail on ANY ship and have fun....One of my fav things on the Grand Princess was the big screen on the lido and leaving on a saturday...BECAUSE.There is no other way to watch football that on the lido deck, on a HUGE screen that is TOTALLY clear even in daylight, at sea, and people bringing you drinks.....MAN...Got to see Steelers come back and beat the Bengals a few weeks ago and what a party!.....Plus the disco was fun and the food was better than RCI and the same or nearly as good as Carnival....But I'm still a Carny fan and now that they are having BIG SCREENS...I'm loving it.:D

[selucrey]

Just tell us when we are going and who to send $$ to. You know we will be there for S&S III.:D

[GoinCruisin]

Yup, this grope will have fun anywhere!!! I think we'll start to see some new itineraries and changes when Freedom comes out... Schedules should be out for Oct 2007 soon... I'll go through what the options are for October 07 once they are out, and we'll do a poll :D LOL
