Possible CC Cruise to Alaska??

[sixgun8]

I have only been in touch with Laura from CC...She said we have enough interest just have to wait for pricing...I dont think we can become OFFICIAL until we have the pricing..Least thats my understanding!.SOO we just sit and wait!..:)

 

 

yep that's how it works, so I guess we are waiting on Carnival then. okiedokie. I'll put on my waiting cap.

[LEtue]

And so the wait continues.....:(

 

Kelly, do we have any word on when pricing will be released?

[Slimpickins]

You are slipping Kelly, its been 1 1/2 pages without a new pic :(. I'm very disappointed:p:D.

Thats just GORGEOUS!!!

 

Heres a new one from me! Sawyer Glacier..

[/url]

[LEtue]

Wow, nice picture! :D

 

I have never sailed up Tracy Lynn Arm to Sawyer Glacier. From what I have read you were lucky to get that close! Must have been a late season sailing?

Actually that was from our SB cruise we took..We went with Adventure Bound on a small boat..The closer we got to the Glacier the more ice was in the water..They actually had to push ice away from the boat with poles..It looked like we were floating in a big slushie...I think the whole trip was about 8 hours long..It was THE BEST THING WE DID out of both the cruises we took..:)

Nice new additions(pics) to the mix. I wonder if you will run outta pics before you become an official cruise:D?????

We would be interested in 2 cabins on this too :D

[MomtoCCC]

I would be interested in this too but can't commit just yet. Is there any advantage to being a CC group?? Have you definitely decided on Sept? vs July? We would need 1 cabin for 2 (maybe 3 if dd joins us)

We are looking at Round Trip out of Vancouver in Sept...Its a really scenic cruise!

Kelly - just want you to know that Bud and I are ready to commit! Just need some prices, hopefully a lowered deposit, and then we can book....oh the sting of sweet anticipation...

[LEtue]

So Carnival has started to release their schedule through April 2011.

 

Maybe the Alaska schedule is next :D

I wonder why they are so slow releasing the Alaska dates..Maybe they are not slow we are just all anxious..Our group reminds me of the Mervyns commercial with the lady at the window saying OPEN! OPEN! OPEN!...

I would think the benefits would be a lower deposit and a possible on board credit..Maybe a break in the price..I am just guessing as I have never partcipated in a group cruise before..Maybe some of the more experienced group cruisers could shed some light!

With a group cruise there are several advantages.....

 

One is usually a lower deposit of $25 per person. For example, if the normal deposit for a cruise is $300, when you call to book the group cruise, you book a guaranteed category, pay $25 and then a couple of months later (and before the final payment date) you make a second payment and pay $275, which is the balance of the deposit. Only if you want a specific cabin at the time you call (or are a solo cruiser) do you pay the full deposit at the beginning.

 

Another advantage is that the group leader picks some amenities for everyone based on the number of cabins in the group. All sorts of things are available, like an OBC, a private cocktail party or chocolate strawberries and champagne in your cabin, etc. Check out some of the official group cruises out there already to find out what they offer to give you an idea.

 

Most of the group cruises also organize some group events like a cabin/poker crawl or group excursions.
