Hi,

Going on Carnival Paradise on Mar 3. Curious if any other fun people are going....35m from Northeast area

Don, there are some folks who post here on the Singles Message board who are going on that cruise. Hopefully, they will respond to you; however, a few weeks before cruise date, you will have a chance to e-mail everyone going. Your cruise coordinator will be in touch with you to give you addresses and info. It's a great way to make friends before you even board the ship!

And be sure to check out our first annual Cruisemates cruise, four-nights sailing from Miami July 4th on Carnival's Imagination.

Well, since my birthday is on a Friday, and I leave on Saturday to go to Miami the day before sailing (unless CCL puts me on a red-eye), I am looking forward to the 10 day birthday party!

Tom, you are going to have a birthday to remember, and please tell us all about it here on Cruisemates Singles Message board when you return.

Happy Sailing!

I am on that cruise also with a singles group being organized out of Florida. Sounds like a lot of singles although you guys are a lot younger than I am, 58 f - Houston, but then again, age is only a state of minde, if you don't mind, it don't matter!. Will just be finishing up partying as a member of Galveston's Z Krewe with enough time to rest before partying on the Paradise! See ya in March!!!

So, this is the other site! There are several others(cruisecritics.com) going. Hey, I called carnival last wk, there are 600 rooms open. Booked in cheapie, wishing, hoping and praying that I get upgraded. Yup, birthday cruise also, yup, will have a drink with the group!

I won my cruise last summer through our local VFD and wanted to wait and book for my birthday, 2/25, but wanted Eastern so I will be celebrating a few days late... Bringing a married friend who after near 30 years of marriage needs a break away from her husband. Looking forward to having a great time. We are 35 NE of Pittsburgh. GO STEELERS!!!

How many of us are going with the Discount Travel Club out of San Marcos? I understand Pat that you also book for this club? Deb says you are a very nice person.

Hi All!
We've 35 days and counting!!!! There are more of us going- see cruisecritics.com.

shirley · #16 (**permalink**) January 25th, 2002, 11:01 AM

Okay, fury, are you going with Deb's group out of San Marcos, Discount Travel Club? She has 80+ in our group as of last week.

#17 (**permalink**) January 25th, 2002, 11:00 PM

Hi Shirley,
Nope, I booked via my TA here in Chicago. Wow, large group!

Sasha · #18 (**permalink**) January 27th, 2002, 05:32 PM

Hey
drinks at the piano by the casino after the safety drill??
i'll also post it on the other site

#19 (**permalink**) January 28th, 2002, 10:08 AM

By the piano bar, sounds good, I'll be there!!

shirley · #20 (**permalink**) January 28th, 2002, 02:13 PM

Sounds fine with me, unless Deb has something else lined up for the group.

shirley · #21 (**permalink**) January 28th, 2002, 02:47 PM

Fury: Understand from Deb that we have our own cruise director who puts together a welcome aboard party, mixers, parties, even some shore excursions for the group. Also understand that we have our own section of the dining room. I am sure though there will be plenty of time to mix n mingle with all the other singles on board. Looks like Sasha is getting something together after the safety drill. This is going to be a great cruise!

Hi!
Signed on as single share again. My roommate on the first cruise was part of a singles group. Varied buncha folks I met and some very nice, others... But hey, I had a great time. My roommate was a super nice. I'm hoping I'll be just as fortunate again in 34 days!!! And if have time, sure, let's all meet by the piano bar!

shirley · #23 (**permalink**) January 28th, 2002, 06:13 PM

That's what I am doing, letting them get me a cabin mate. Its really about the only way to travel....I can't afford the single supplements. Looking forward to meeting my cabin mate also. Was not aware though that she may not be part of the group I am in, but all the better. More people to meet! Chat later.

Three of us guys maybe more form Boston are going the Paradise March 3. We will be in the singles group because it did not cost any more than the other options. Last year we went on the Triumph at the same time and had a good time. We found a huge number of people from Boston including over 80 BC sudents on spring break.

shirley · #25 (**permalink**) January 29th, 2002, 12:09 PM

This looks like it is going to be a great cruise, a lot of singles, independent and in singles' groups. I am sure there will be a lot of time to mix n mingle outside of group activities.
