VERY close to FINALIZING some NEW CruiseMates GROUP Cruises

Kuki · #1 (**permalink**) March 1st, 2004, 04:42 PM

You may have noticed we presently have only one CruiseMates group scheduled.. and I've heard from many of you that you'd like our group cruises announced further out, so you can plan.

Well.. I've tried to listen.. and hoping by week's end I'll have a number firm and ready to add.

What is looking pretty likely at this time...

Constellation- 11 night out of NYC to Canada in Sept.
Century - 7 day from Florida in Oct.
Victory - 7 day Thanksgiving cruise in Nov.- also from Florida
Grand Princess - 7 day from Galveston, Texas in Feb 05

.. and we're searching for a great deal on a cruise to bring in 2005.. New Years in the Caribbean.

There's the very likely upcoming roster. Sure you won't be dissatisfied if you decide to choose one and join your CruiseMates friends!!

Kuki! *NONE* from the West Coast!!!

I am not the only fly-o-phobe -- we need more on the West Coast!

I am happy to act as a host.

Even a 4-nighter, California ports -- Monterey, etc, Mexican Riviera, or one to the smaller ports in Mexico (La Paz, Zijuatenejo, Manzanillo, etc)

Don't forget us on the Left Coast!

Maybe do some NEWER ships such as Sapphire or Diamond Princess out of Mexico or Micracle. All of these ships are a few years old. Or maybe a fall foliage in fall when colors are chaging and fall foliage is out. If I am going to do this area, I won't go through all the motions to do it a month early.

Meant to say Carnival Miracle as a newer ship-- not out of Mexico.

I'd really try hard to join in on a west-coast Cruise Mates cruise too. The last one was planned fairly close in and just didn't work for me. Harry and April, count me in!

I second the motion of Harry and April. I'd love to join you guys. Please let me know. I'll be traveling by myself and would like a cabinmate, preferably a female in her 30's or 40's.
Thanks.

How about one for the summer? I'm a teacher and can only cruise in the summer, Christmas, and Spring break.

I am also single looking for a cruise mate for a west coast cruise. Let me know if you find something for 2005.

Oceansailor · #10 (**permalink**) April 15th, 2004, 03:39 PM

I have to agree, West Coast cruise makes sense for me and my friends, let me know if you reconsider.

Kuki · #11 (**permalink**) April 15th, 2004, 03:47 PM

Hey Sailor.. Guess you didn't see this one.. http://www.cruisemates.com/articles/...iamond2005.cfm... out of Long Beach.

Hey Kuki,
The cruise from Galveston sounds great to me.
I e-mailed Nancy about it but, never heard back???

Spring break or Christmas next year would be best for all the grandkids too.
Keep us posted.
Thanks
p.s. I got a hoot from you post in the messages for "see my package" Witness prtection yea?

I would email the TA back or call. My TA had problems with her email for 2 days and lost all of the messages. Problems with todays' technologies.

Kuki · #15 (**permalink**) April 17th, 2004, 11:33 AM

Sea Trekker.. I'm sure Nancy will get back to you VERY soon! She's an excellent TA, and normally you hear back in an hour.

At the moment her husband is in hospital, and pretty ill, so she's of course spending alot of her time with him. But even with that, I'm sure it wont take long for her to reply.

Mermaid · #16 (**permalink**) April 18th, 2004, 10:59 AM

Sea Trekker, like Kuki said, Nancy's husband is quite ill. But please do either email again, or just pick up the phone and call the 1-800-number. She, or her assistant will get back to you.

Priscilla Curbow · #17 (**permalink**) May 8th, 2004, 05:52 PM

Norfolk would be great for me. I live about 4 hours away. Early 2005 would be great. I would be looking for cabinmate as I will be alone.

Mermaid, how are the responses going for the Galveston cruise? Wouldn't want it to be cancelled!. Im looking forward to meeting you and Merman and to shopping in Cozumel!.

Constellation in Sept. from N.Y. to Canada? I'll wave as you pass by Montreal!
Seriously though, we're already looking at celebrating my 50th in June 2005. any CruiseMates possibilities then?
