CSICKSALLY Posted April 24, 2009 #1 Share Posted April 24, 2009 A friend of mine has given me the opportunity to go on this cruise and I am looking for others that are going.

We are in so cal, css:eek: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are in so cal, css:eek: We are also booked on this cruise, and I started a roll call thread. We did this cruise last year and absolutely loved it. We've done Celebrity many times and love everything about it. Here is the link to the roll call thread http://boards.cruisecritic.com/showthread.php?t=949908 Have you ever been to Alaska. Can I ask why you know already that you won't do the meet and mingle? As far as connecting, join the roll call thread, it is slow now with just two of us on it, but as the cruise gets going, I'm sure it will become active. You will be able to connect with people and get ideas for shore excursions, etc. that way. I look forward to getting to know you better.

Spot Posted April 24, 2009 #3 Share Posted April 24, 2009 CSickSally - you do know the cruise is 5/11 not 5/10 as you state in your message. We are also on this cruise, our first time to Alaska and really looking forward to this cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We will not be able to do meet and mingle so I am wondering how we can connect. I am a newbie to cruising, so I am also looking for any advice. We are in so cal, css:eek: I am also on this cruise, leaving May 11th. You do not have to attend any meet & mingle event that you do not want to, especially if that would make you uncomfortable. Please come and introduce yourself online and post any of your questions. It is an active roll call and questions are freely answered. We are a diverse, friendly bunch on our roll call and you may be able to connect individually there. The Alaska board is also a lively one, if you have questions about the ports of call. It will be a very good cruise and we have only a couple of more weeks to wait. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowglobe Posted April 24, 2009 #5 Share Posted April 24, 2009 Hello css, Are you on the May 10th 2010 cruise or the May 11th 2009 one? :confused: Whichever one it is, start chatting with your roll call mates, because these boards are a friendly & comfortable place to talk & research about your upcoming cruise. You determine what your comfort level is if/when to actually meet your cruisemates. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mrs Charmin Posted April 24, 2009 #9 Share Posted April 24, 2009 I'd LOVE to know more about this cruise for 2010. What's the weather like that time in May, especially in Alaska? Do you anticipate any rough seas between SF and AK? How was/is the Celebrity Infinity? I just found this cruise (for 2010) a few days ago and thought it looked great. I've always wanted to go to SF and what a great way to see both. Just have to convince DH. He's been to SF many times and I've never been. Thanks for any info you can provide.

snowglobe Posted April 24, 2009 #10 Share Posted April 24, 2009 Hi Shirley, Css, and Mrs Charmin (from the Peg! Hi!!), If you are doing this itinerary next year (10 May 2010), check out the the roll call for this year's cruise as well. Since last year, we've been discussing the Infinity, the ports of call, the excursions, the weather, etc., as well as San Francisco. There's a lot of great info, if you sift through the pages. We won't get a chance to meet, but you will get some very good information to start just by reading the preps that we have been through for the last year: http://boards.cruisecritic.com/showthread.php?t=751905 The Alaska board, as well as the West Coast departures board, are active and well worth combing through as well. Enjoy your preparations - the year will just fly by for you as it did for me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs Charmin Posted April 24, 2009 #11 Share Posted April 24, 2009 Thanks Shirley and Snowglobe for the link to these threads. I can see I'm going to have some fun reading. Be sure to let us know how things go on your cruise. Have a great time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We did this same cruise on the Infinity last year in early April. We loved the Infinity and consider the cruise one of our favorites. It was freezing cold, but I suspect it will be warmer in May. We didn't have any rough seas ~~ it was "smooth sailing". I've started a roll call for the 5/10/10 cruise -- not much discussion yet because it is early, but I anticipate it will become active. We had a GREAT cruise critic group last year and did lots of things together on the cruise. Shirley Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shirley C Posted May 29, 2009 #13 Share Posted May 29, 2009 Someone from this cruise needs to do a review of the ports for the rest of us who are waiting to go!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowglobe Posted May 30, 2009 #14 Share Posted May 30, 2009 Shirley, Most of us have been back *at most* a week now... I don't know about anyone else, but my review will be posted eventually -- I've got backlog in my real and work life that I MUST catch up with before taking the time to write a proper review. Please be patient - you've got a year to wait for your cruise and I hope that it turns out as fabulous as ours was. So being patient a little longer waiting for our reviews should be worth the wait...:rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
