NEW! CruiseMates Cruise: Carnival Conquest 1-17-10

[TravelMike]

Snooze, how many people do you have signed up for the Galveston cruise? I know not everyone uses the board, so I am guessing there are others. I herd some good news today, Scurvy Dog (Jim & Kay) will be joining us in the aft cabins. This is should be a load of fun. I still can't get over how tired I was after the last cruise. I will try and take it easy the first week. Take care, Mike

[nurseypoo5]

looks as if were in. I'll be calling Nancy tomorrow

Its be me and my hubby and my 13 yr old son (who still calls me mommy when no one is looking but dont tell him I told you that )

[Snoozeman]

Woo Hoo!!!

NurseyPoo: Welcome aboard!

farrimco: It will be great seeing you again.

TravelMike: You know I don't know how many. I'll check with Nancy. I think we already have a good small group, but it's getting bigger.

Looks like FUN!!

The number will help us to maybe work a package deal for a pre/post cruise hotel.

Alright, Nurseypoo brought me back!

I will be booking this with Nancy soon. Can't wait to see all you guys again!

And Snoozeman, I will finally get to see you, since I had to bail on the Ecstasy cruise.

omggggg well we were actually back on the "fence" with this one, as it'll be our 4th out of galveston in less than 3 yrs lol, but pffft, now with you guys and darlene and others, it'll be like a reuninion!

Cant wait to see ya'll again...getting tired of just the myspace thing Tracy!

just heads up, dont know if its like this all the time, but when we were there in Jan, we went to moody and saw what i think is the schlitterbahn, and it was closed....It didnt look all that impressive...but maybe i saw somthing different? who knows, i was just focused on my cruise

[nurseypoo5]

duh, i bet it was closed due to the hurricane (it had only been like 4 months or so) so maybe its open again

[Snoozeman]

It's open. Quite a place.

Trudy is planning on taking her kids there before the cruise!

[Snoozeman]

Wooooooooo.......Just finished my big project for the year. Time to start thinking about cruising.

I was just looking at pricing and now that fares are going up I'm glad we locked in the pricing on this one early. We'll start getting more interest as our prices are very good compared to current rates.

TC found an excursion we might consider as a group in Cozumel. It's a party bus that just makes a big circle of the island. Stops at four popular bars with time for drinking or the beach at each. Good way to see the island.

[T C]

AND ... Snooze forgot to mention that there is a free shot at each stop! 8) Yeah Baby!

[ScurvyDog]

TC...Baby
I'm all in for the party bus idea!!!! 8)

Hi everyone! This is my first post on this board....I'm booked on this cruise and found you guys through Snoozeman's posts on another board. And Bahamamommma is over here too, yay!

I'm hoping I can hang out with your group a little, even though I didn't book with you. This is my first solo cruise, and I'm a little nervous. I've looked at that bar hop tour in Cozumel, too...it looks like a blast!

Hey Bahamamomma, I'm in an inside on Riviera deck as well. Maybe we need to start a Riviera deck club, lol.

Welcome to CruiseMates! You'll find it a fun group. Not sure everyone would figure it out since I had to 'kinda' post in code. Glad you found us.

We have quite a few sailing solo in the group as well. Your welcome to join in anytime you can.

[lindnet]

Thanks so much for the warm welcome. It's going to be nice to get to know some people before we sail. I look forward to chatting with all of you!

[ScurvyDog]

Lindnet
Welcome to Cruisemates!!
You will have a great time on this cruise. We have several others from Ca. that will be going and I promise you will never feel "alone" when traveling with this bunch.

Welcome!!!

Way to go TC !!

[lindnet]

Thanks for the welcome, ScurvyDog! You sound like a fun group, I'm looking forward to meeting you all.

Hey, here's the link to the Cozumel bar hop tour. http://www.cozumelbarhop.com/index.html

I'd been looking at it before I even booked the cruise, thinking it sounded like a good time.

[T C]

Scurvy, Phil & Liz, y'all know if there is a bar involved, I'll find out about it 8) pack the dark sunglasses and tylenol! There will be no parasailing on this excursion!!!!! This will be a support group outing!
Yeah Baby!
TC

[mehawk]

Maybe, just maybe, Sandy and I can get on this one too!

[T C]

Michael I think you would have a great time if you booked this cruise and joined us. Looking forward to it

Lindnet, welcome to CM! You will have a great time with us. You can change your booking to be part of our group on the Conquest if you wanted to, it really isn't that difficulet to do, and there are a few perks that come along with being part of this group.

OK boys and girls, the big news, I am going to go undercover and will take the barhop bus tour in August on the annual 39th birhtday cruise. I will do this only so I can give you first hand account of the tour. There may be pictures ... that will have to be edited ... I will share with you all!

Hey, that might be cool! I wonder if I could still do that if I did the Early Saver thing? Thanks for the welcome!

Hey, way to sacrifice yourself for the good of the group! I can't wait to hear how it is. It sounds like a lot of fun. I have a couple of friends who are thinking about booking this cruise, and they want to rent the scooters like they did last time and putt around the island. I think I'm way too nervous to try something like that. I'd much rather have a designated sober(or somewhat sober) bus driver!

That would be Great!

[TravelMike]

Snooze, this sounds great, good job TC Carole and I are all in. Mike

[bahamamomma]

Hi everyone - just caught up with the posts - I'm all for the "Party Bus"

and Lindnet - great idea for the Riviera Deck - let me know your Cabin #
remember we're going to do the "shot of the day"

I believe the countdown is 199 days! I do believe this will be the cruise that no one forgets!!!

[lindnet]

Alright, Cathy! We have a Riviera Deck Club! I'm way up front in 1207, one of the ones with the portholes. I keep hearing about more motion and noise up there, I may end up sleeping out on the deck!

This is going to be a great cruise, I can already tell. Everyone has been so friendly and welcoming.

Happy 4th of July!

[kelzbelz77]

Just booked myself!! Others to come as well. We just were on the cruisemates group cruise in Feb. This will be fun as well!!!! Can't wait!! I know i saved my vacation time for something!! 8)
