2012 Poster Cruise....

Not to judge your boyfriend, but IMHO, cruising is a very good deal. On this cruise- call it $700 pp. Or even call it $1500 per room. While not cheap, if you add up food and lodging, $300/night is not a horrible deal. And you can eat all you want.

(I just did a sample booking- cheapest inside from MI (yes, state matters for some reason) for 2 $1353. Balconies are a few hundred more, but that's not bad)

I do admit that this isn't the cheapest cruise that one can find- we did a 3 night for $150pp- but those are getting hard to find.

if your budget is just able to camp, or do motel 6 + McDs, yea- this is expensive. But typical hotels + food, eh- it's close. And the hotel does not carry you to places that you don't have to spend anything to check out.

Hope you can make it!

Do it.
/voice of reason ;)




Hey, alfa...
Do you know how long the jogging track is and/or how many laps around the boat would equal a kilometer or a mile? I've got a thing I have to do on the Sunday.
If you don't know, that's okay; we'll figure it out on board.

Looks like that class of ship (Radience class), the jogging track is 5 laps per mile. The info I found was for the Jewel's sister, the Serenade.

We may see you up there. BTW, we do need to exchange some info- would love to meet up with you all on board. Shoot me an e-mail.

wT, find a way to get on the ship.
 
Re: 2012 Poster Cruise....

Sadly, the cruise cost is not the issue, it's the transportation for getting to Orlando. Looks like airfare is the same price as the cruise. Cheapest I can find with changing dates and even looking at nearby airports is $750. I may be skipping the Frozen Four altogether. :(

holy cow!

Not that it helps much, but Delta has Thursday 3/29 to Monday 4/9 (way over a week) for $476.... That's from detroit to Tampa...

Probably doesn't help much that the FF is over Easter weekend.
 
Re: 2012 Poster Cruise....

We're meeting in Chicago; got flights for ~$320 rt each.
It works for us.
Your mileage may vary.
 
Re: 2012 Poster Cruise....

Probably not much of a point to bump this, since most have plans set in stone already.

But there is a sale for this cruise now!! http://www.royalcaribbean.com/finda...&state=&packageCode=JW05W010&sailDate=1120331

You can get an outside cabin for $469 or a balcony for $519 per person. This is less than what I paid for (and I can't get a discount, since we are well within the 4 week window for super hot sales and last payment, but I'm ok with that)...

I have a RCCL agent that will be very happy to help, or if you have a travel agent you like, or ANY other website that sells cruises- think about it.

You can get me at alfablue(dot)uscho(at)gmail(dot)com (I'll check e-mail for sure later this evening).

I know melmac isn't going to be dining with us, but we have 4 that are dining at the later seating, and would be happy to dine with you.

19 days until we board! :)

I tried linking but, since we're doing the my time thing, it wouldn't let me. Is there anything else I can do to help you get credit? I've still got your reservation number. And if we decided to dine at 8:30, is it hard to try to sit together or near each other? Never done this, don't know how it works.

I am so looking forward to this trip. I really need to get away from reality for a little bit.

I just e-mailed you with the last e-mail that I had of yours, a yahoo one.

As for dining near each other- I doubt we will be able to, unless we book something at one of the alternate restaurants- the my time area *might* be near our table, but it's a pretty big dining section. If your e-mail is right, I'll shoot you a note once we know our table number- it wont change.

Actually- if the e-mail is right, I'll e-mail you with our cabin number, too- so you can call and leave a message.
