Grand Riviera Rendezvous - Voyage M834A - September 4 2008 Poll

[SanFranBayCruiser]

Just an informal poll here, I am thinking about booking Voyage M834A, which is a 24 night itinerary, round trip from NYC. Just curious if there would be enough of us to attempt to form a CC group. I know, wishful thinking, but, I figure, nothing ventured, nothing gained...

 

Here's the itinerary if you are curious:

Like I said wishful thinking :o

Great itinerary! However, we'll be taking a world cruise in 2009 and I'm not sure we will have the funds for another "big" cruise. I saw your poll over on Crystal, have you considered trying to form a CC group on Cunard for the holidays in 2008? Cunard is much more group friend :)

 

Just a suggestion...

There is no minimum number. Do your own thing and be creative!

 

However experience teaches me to counsel some system of easy recognition. A home made sign will be fine. A bear would be ideal.

PS - you need the option "I'm British so round trip New York to New York is not what I want......" in your poll!

I'm sorry - I didn't realise you meant a formal Cruise Critic booking, rather than a meeting on board.

If I was living in NYC or even somewhere in the USA I'd probably give this sailing serious consideration but, since I'm currently living in Rome. I wouldn't dream of it.

 

However, your holiday sailing poll! Yes! I'm booking! And, I hope a group does form!

This is the perfect cruise for my husband and I. I wanted the TA part and he wanted the Europe part. I have traveled much more extensively in Europe than he has and he has mobility problems that preclude a land trip so it is just what we need. We will most probably be limited to the ship's excursions, but some days are better than others and we will just go day by day. It will be our fourth QM2 and we have also gone on the QE2. A long wait though!:)
