You should... it's about the travel agent for the group.

Ron there are a lot of factors - some of the cruise lines like Royal Caribbean and Celebrity will allow us to use group amenities points to help raise funds. Other lines like Princess and Carnival would have us add the fund raising fees to the pricing. So, we have some homework ahead of us yet.

You know I am only playing I will do whatever needs to be done. I'll type up a tentative proposal and send it out on Monday.

Our travel agent will do that part but, we'll still all work together to get maximum benefits for the charity.

I know but what fun is it if I can't tease you just a bit Wink

WAAA! This trip is definitely on our list, but we can't go in the winter of 2012. Now, 2013... maybe!!!!!!! Cool

Awwww Susan... Ok, Ron you get the rope, Pete you get the duct tape, and I'll write the kidnap note so Susan can join us in 2012 Wink

Well, I guess technically I can go, but Ray can't! That will be his last winter protecting the motoring public from the snow and ice of Northern IL!

Cool, thanks Tina!

Adding funds being the case...
It may benefit us to favor RCI or Celeb. Keeping costs down for everyone, and raising funds for the charity should go hand in hand. Great input to know up front!

I've never cruised Celebrity...but sure love the intinerary BOCA posted. Cruising those fjords would be spectacular!

It would be good to know how LONG of a cruise everyone would like as well. Looks like there is quite a variety...as far as number of days.

Susan, let's give this some thought, hopefully we'll find a way that BOTH you and Ray are able to join us.

Pete, I don't know about anyone else but, after that L-O-N-G plane ride, I'd want as much time as possible.
