:D It's what I get for taking 2 days off the boards!

Itineraries and pricing should be out the 27th!

I'm so excited!

 

I can't wait to hit Italy again!

[bp traveler]

I just called Carnival the Europe desk and the gentelman told me that they have no information and pricing he guess that pricing would be out in a month???? What??

 

Their releast said March 27th right? How come they are so uninformed at Carnival? Or have they delayed it?

[LEtue]

Cruise Elf, I know exactly what you mean about Italy! Wasn't it just too wonderful for words? I'm looking forward to Greece and Turkey too :)

 

bp traveler, It doesn't surprise me about the employees not knowing what's going on. That seems to be the case often - no matter what cruise line. Are you interested in this sailing? Laura told me to expect pricing on Monday or Tuesday so we should be ready to go then. Unless of course something changed at Carnival over the weekend :( I hope you decide to join our group!

I am actually looking at the June 18th sailing - we have a young son and friends who have kids in school so it has to be over the summer.

There's a reason I only pretend to be a responsible adult!

I'm really a big kid at heart!:eek:

[AllenF]

Hey Elf,

 

Looks like you guys are not to far from us down here in Columbia.

We made are choice the Sept cruise will work out better for us than the April cruise. So we are in :)

I don't know but....it sure seems like Cruise Elf is going to get the award for being the biggest character in this group! What do you think Allen????

 

Seriously though. Thanks for your patience. I was hoping to hear back from Laura before she left for the day. But after all she deserves evenings at home too :) I'm sure we'll be ready to go in the am :D

It was probably her turn to cook dinner tonight too! Just gives me more time to stare at the itinerary.

 

 

Oh, and LEtue.... I'm really very well behaved in public. Even my husband will be seen with me;)

Wonderful! One more person to practice my "southern" Italian on!

[salty dingo]

DW and I are very interested. Her birthday is Sept 23! We have been looking into this cruise, and already called and got pricing from Carnival. The weather should be pretty warm and is should still be the dry season, I hope!

Hey, that's great! We didn't have any dingos in the group yet :p

 

My birthday is September 29 so we're going to have lots of celebrations on this cruise. I think that may make 4 of us...but I may have lost count.
