Re: 2012 Poster Cruise....
So I'm surfing the web while Mrs. Alfa watches Dancing with the stars....
And check the Royal Carribbean Webpage.
WE ARE ON.

I have NOT called, yet, so I don't know about the prices.
Itinerary-
March 31- leave Tampa
April 1- At Sea
April 2- Cozumel, Mexico
April 3 Costa Maya, Mexico
April 4- At sea
April 5- arrive at Tampa
And watch games that night!
So start saving some money.
Update:
Called Royal Carribbean- and their basic group deal is the same as it was almsot 10 years ago- for 16 guests, one of them would get a free base fare (still have to pay taxes, etc etc). What I've done in the past is refund the group an equal amount based on the refund.
And due to their time frame, they suggested that I use a travel agent for a single point of contact for them, and it very much opens up what would be a 30 day window to up to closer to 6 months....
So I called a travel agent that is used for my company employee organization, and they are happy to organize it. I'll hear back from them next week (while I'm on vacation).
Considering the time frame, they even suggest doing some promotion at rinks.
They (Volare Travel) will start with looking into the base cruise, and then give some options for flights as well. Option is the word- so IF they can give you a better deal....
Anyway, if you know people who go to FF's, and are not here, mention it to them as a vacation option. Anyone is welcome to come, that's for sure.
I may call one more travel agent before setting one in stone- there's one in Ann Arbor that RCCL seems to like to work with, so I'll call them after lunch.
