~*~Possible CC group cruise NCL Jewel Feb/Mar 2010~*~

[VTislandGrl]

HAHA well that is fine too Steve! I'm sure we will get good rates on inside cabins too. Everyone is different :) I'm still thinking about that aft balcony....

[wibeachbum]

DH and I may be interested. We will probably want to get through our cruise in March before booking another, but I'd like to do this one next.

Quick question...can you use the $250 deposit (that only cost you $150) that you put down on board to pay for a CC group cruise???

[VTislandGrl]

Welcome Beachbum! I hear ya - I've got a cruise coming up soon too but booking another afterwards is what always gets you through the post-vacation slump haha:D

Hi Duke - I will have to ask CC or their travel agent once they respond to my initial group request. I really don't see why not, but I can't say for sure just yet. Does anyone else know?

They are taking them for my CC Group cruise!;) Good luck with your group VTislandGrl!:D

[VTislandGrl]

Wow Biker - You've got all sorts of goodies huh? Wanna share?! :p

Luv2Cruz - Thank you so much! Good luck to you too! I've always wanted to go to Bermuda - I'm sure you'll have a blast:)

If they wont let you use all three....you could always share :D


I really hope we get approved for a group cruise, it seems like all the group cruises go to Carnival...nothing wrong with that but I LOVE my freestyle dining! So it would be nice to have a few more NCL group cruises out there.

Ok guys - who wants to snorkle in Belize? I know I do!

[VTislandGrl]

Toads - I'm right with ya! I wanna see the "blue hole" or snorkel Shark Ray Alley :)

It is -18 here today....I wish I was on a cruise!!!

[Dukegirl5577]

OK, I think I'm out. DH said that as much as he liked Roatan and Belize and would like to go back there sometime, he wants to go to as many places that are new to us as possible before we start having kids (and thus aren't able to travel as easily as before).

So he wants to do Hawaii for our next big trip, and is leaning towards doing it as a cruise. So that's probably what we'll use our $250 deposit on that we'll be putting down during our March short cruise.

Sorry! But have a fab time!

I understand...we just had a baby in July...we are actually traveling to Mexico this year without him, but the cruise will be our first post baby trip w/ him.

If you change your mind, come on back! Of course now I need a new Duke fan to pick on! :)

[VTislandGrl]

Duke - We're sad to see you go!! But we understand:) If things change or fall through, come back and join us!

Still no word yet from CC - hopefully anytime now!

[VTislandGrl]

Anyone else experiencing frigid weather? I can't wait to cruise :D

I keep telling you to move south! Although we are dropping in the teens tonight, at least its not the negative teens.

This cold weather really makes one want to cruise...like....now!

[VTislandGrl]

Toads - I'm a Southern girl at heart :p I can't wait to cruise too and escape this weather!

[biker@sea]

This mourning the temp is 9 degrees below 0. :eek::eek:

Not the same as deck 9 aft. :):D

[dznymom]

Checking in at 13 below. Trying to remember the feeling of the warm water in Roatan and the taste of Belikin Beer in Belize..........

[VTislandGrl]

It's gotten colder here...this morning is -28!!!!:eek:
