pipster37 Posted August 23, 2006 Author #3 Share Posted August 23, 2006 There are some of us who enjoy knitting and find it relaxing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kyriecat Posted August 23, 2006 #4 Share Posted August 23, 2006 Have you tried checking the roll call board for your sailing? I'd help with a link, but you didn't provide your sail date. It might be one of these: http://boards.cruisecritic.com/showthread.php?t=361886 http://boards.cruisecritic.com/showthread.php?t=375827 http://boards.cruisecritic.com/showthread.php?t=228253 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moknits Posted August 23, 2006 #5 Share Posted August 23, 2006 There's also one in April. Did you see that one? I started a thread under the topic of Theme Cruises, but no one has responded yet. I will look for the January cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rala Posted August 23, 2006 #6 Share Posted August 23, 2006 I also enjoy knitting, but probably not on a cruise. GRUMM, your post did give me a chuckle. Love that dry humor (humour) from across the pond!!!! Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

moknits Posted August 24, 2006 #9 Share Posted August 24, 2006 Yeah I did. I'm still explaining that it sounds fantastic to me! I think I'm going to go on the April trip with some friends. And we are EXCITED! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grumm Posted August 24, 2006 #10 Share Posted August 24, 2006 There are some of us who enjoy knitting and find it relaxing. Pipster There was absolutely no malice in my remark.The great thing about cruising is that each of us gets to enjoy the experience in a different way. I sincerely hope that you have a fantastic time:) Alan x PS I could do with a new sleeveless pullover for my golf! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Straughn Posted August 24, 2006 #14 Share Posted August 24, 2006 As an avid knitter, I would love to hear more about the knitting cruises. Where can I find info? How did you learn about them. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moknits Posted August 24, 2006 #15 Share Posted August 24, 2006 I just sent my knitting buddies an email with the details about the 2 cruises, I'll paste it here so that you can see it. I'm not sure if CC will edit out the websites, but if they do, it will at least give you a google starting point: The one I learned of first is "Sea Socks Cruise and Yarn Expedition" Here is one of their websites: http://www.mycruiseplanner.net/?page=fp&id=11028 There is also a blog with updates: http://www.seasocks.blogspot.com/ And a Royal Caribbean site with more details: http://www.royalcaribbean.com/findacruise/cruiseDetails/itineraryAndPricing.do;jsessionid=0000qvvdNihhdB7zOBZj5h34KYR:10ktmf1jr?packageCode=VI05LAV1&sailDate=1070429 You are invited to join us for a Knitting Adventure on the High Seas.When: April 29th, 2007 Where: Royal Caribbean's Vision of the Seas From: LA to Vancouver for FIVE nights What: In addition to your cruise, meals, and entertainment, you will receive an Exclusive Knitting Bag filled with knitting essentials, and exclusive yarn from Mama E of C*EYE*BER Fibers. There will be knitting workshops and knitting sessions all over. Let's fill the ship with knitters! The itinerary: 29-Apr Los Angeles, California 30-Apr Cruising 01-May San Francisco, California 02-May Cruising 03-May Victoria, British Columbia 04-May Vancouver, British Columbia Prices starting at: $475 pp* Pricing is per person, double occupancy and subject to availability. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Now, for the other one, I haven't found much info. Here is what I have found: Great Balls of Yarn (which I think might be a knitting shop?) Jan. 20-28, 2007 Royal Caribbean's Voyager of the Seas Miami, St. Thomas, San Juan, Labadee Hispanola and Nassau Bahamas $1399 per person, double occupancy Info in a pdf: http://www.greatballsofyarn.com/news/cruise06.pdf Obviously the LA cruise is MUCH cheaper (although for me it will mean 2 one-way airfares), and a little bit shorter. I've been to all of these Caribbean stops, but not the West Coast stops, so I think I'm more interested in the LA trip. Also, I did call the TA listed for the Sea Socks cruise. Since I'm cruising next week, I wanted to know if I could book on board, get the OBC, and then transfer the booking to her and the group. She was really nice, but she wasn't sure if it was possible. I think I'm going to try it, if it doesn't work I could always book that separately and change the on board booking to another date, I think.
