Possible CC Group "North to Alaska" sailing on Carnival Spirit in May 2010

[anamanxs]

:o This is the Possible group in May 2010 for the Spirit Round trip from Seattle. I hope this is less confusing than the older thread. I I have checked and the flight prices for this year are reasonable, we wil be unable to check next years prices until closer to sailing time.

 

I have contacted Laura (about a month ago) and am waiting for her to get back to me on prices. There are three groups possible in 2010 to Alaska. The group in September is Official (Kelly), this group - MAY (Annette) and the group in June 22 (Dennis) are still waiting to hear.

 

We would love for you to be a part of the May 2010 group. The Itinerary is below. The posted pricing on the May 11, and 18 is about $50 - $75 less than the May 25th.

June 22nd is the date we decided on, not July.

 

Thanks for the mention.

Thanks Dennis, I corrected it and thanks for the link on your thread! Alaska looks like a wonderful place to visit and I can't wait. I think there should be plenty of interests for all of us to have wonderful groups and to share together! That's what Cruise Critic is all about - SHARING!

[anamanxs]

WOW, The Sept group; (I love their name) has already made group status! Congrats to Kelly. But that means I am sure there is enough cruises out there for all of us! I hope Laura is watching how fast the group grew is and lets Dennis and I have a go at it too.

Have a GREAT evening everyone!

THURSDAY: Tracy Arm is a magnificent glacier-carved fjord just south of Juneau.

 

The fjord is part of the 30 mile long Tracy Arm - Fords Terror Wilderness region, located about 60 miles southest of Juneau.

Carnival site now has their pricing listed for this cruise. We are still waiting to hear from Laura to see what price we can get for a group rate.

One Look at the pictures on this site and you will know why you need to visit Alaska! ALASKA, the last Frontier

[anamanxs]

It's Thursday so I am still cruising Tracy Arms enjoying all the beautiful sites; in my mind anyway. You could be do if you joined us for this cruise to Alaska next year!

 

We are just waiting on Laura to make it Official!

[anamanxs]

Who else out there is going in May 2010! We need to let Laura hear us, and let her know how excited we are about this possible cruise? Join me and we explore the Last Frontier!

You have to check this link out, lots of video cams of Alaska!

So, you ready to go NOW!

[anamanxs]

Hopefully, we will hear today.

[anamanxs]

I checked flights and they are very reasonable in May of this year. They were $225 - $300 for round trip from Greensboro to Seattle. Hopefully, they will be around that next May! So, who wants to go on the May 25th, 2010 cruise? That will include Memorial Day 2010.

 

Need to have an exact day when Laura contacts me!

[anamanxs]

Good Morning All,

 

I got my notice for my upcoming PRIDE cruise about "your time" dining, our trip on the Spirit will include this option. Just another idea to think about.

 

OFF THread - One of the things I was waiting I was doing all night - last night. No sleep but have 5 Manx kittens. Not a show one in the bunch since they have little stubbs, but cute none the less.

 

So maybe this is a sign and we will hear from Laura on Monday! I now have to work OT this weekend and should be there in 10 minutes - not happening in 10.

 

If we were on our cruise we would be just at the port of Juneau, Alaska. What a wonderful thought.

 

SO WHO WANTS TO GO!

[BCFD 2357]

May 11th or 18th would work for us. Might be crazy flying during Memorial Day time :eek:

[crzndeb]

There were 2 1A's left, so I booked one for the May 11th trip, since my bday falls that week. It was a great price for a single and I didn't want to wait for someone else to make up their mind if they wanted to go.

 

Plus, the port is 20mins away.

[anamanxs]

My b/d is also in May! So, another Taurus! I am glad you got a good rate, the rates posted right now are GREAT! I just sent another letter to Laura on Thursday. Hopefully she will contact us soon. We have to show interest in the group so she will feel we have enough cruiser interested. I talked to another group host and they said it was very important to show an interest in this cruise over another.

[anamanxs]

Happy Sunday Morning! I am checking out the Your time Dining on the Spirit. Sounds interesting! We are in Ketchikan, Alaska from 7:00 am - 1:00 pm today (in our mind)!

[anamanxs]

Hopefully we hear something tomorrow! New Week with positive thoughts!

[Fun, Fun 44]

I would be interested in May 11th maybe, more interested in May 18th. Give them a week on new schedule to get in the groove. :rolleyes: There would be for sure 4 adults and possibly 7 adults. Excited to hear about it!!

Soon!

Hi, GREAT! The 11th and 18th are the same prices so I was kind of thinking the same. That way any snags should be worked out. I have already requested to Laura, I gave her both dates so I am waiting to see what she comes back with.

[Fun, Fun 44]

Have never done the group thing before......excited to hear about it. My Mother (80) and her sister (77) will be going with us as well. :D Their ages by next year. They are VERY young for their ages and I hate to admit get around MUCH, MUCH better that I! Up early and can't miss a thing. I on the other hand, sleep in and slow poke getting around. Unless on a cruise of course! :rolleyes: The girls are excited to hear about the information you will be getting and already thinking and plotting. We are THRILLED they want to go as we love cruising so much and want everyone we know to love it as much as we do. We have gotten close to 20 hooked in the three years we have been cruising. :)

Anxiously awaiting!

Kat

[anamanxs]

Wow, so many cruise in such a short time! Welcome glad to have your ! I wish my Mom was that active - she retired at 50 and I think that was a mistake. I think activity keeps you young! Tell them to keep thinking of fun activities they want to do!

[anamanxs]

Good Day!! I will let you know the details later. Hope everyone is ready to go to ALASKA!

 

Please write so we can keep this tread on page one. How many still out there interested in going to the last Frontier with us! Let the SPIRIT blow us NORTH!

[anamanxs]

WOW Kat, looking at your list of places you have cruised, it looks like it is time for ALASKA! The Blue Ocean rocking and whale singing to us, can there be anything better!

[anamanxs]

Hi Crzndeb, What can you tell us about the area since you are so close? I am way over on the East Coast. The farest NW I have been is Thunder Bay, Canada - that is one beautiful area!
