I'll be joining you in 2010 but, any Princess groups in the works during the interim?

We could always try to form one if there is enough interest!

Dave, what do you have in mind, if anything?

I don't know about anyone else but, I'd love to take a cruise from San Juan. Anyone want to try for a group for a Southern Caribbean run? Doesn't really matter when, I don't have kids except my pets so I can go just about anytime.

Funny you should mention all of this - I emailed Host Ivanova about the Valentines' Day group cruise on Ruby that went poof. Would you guys still be interested in that one? If yes, we're going to have to move quickly on it. So be ready to deposit if you give thumbs up. However, I'm very flexible too, if you want a different ship or even date, I can probably go. As a reminder Ruby Princess was for February 14, 2009 Western Itinerary.

Maybe... the only problem for me is that it would HAVE to be that week of February 14th, that's when my kids are off for mid-winter break. My next window of opportunity would be the week of April 11th (Easter week). And, then I'm stuck until late June.

I hear ya Robyn. I thought the idea of Valentine's day was great - no law that says we HAVE to go on Princess. Would you guys be open to another cruise line? Celebrity? Royal Caribbean? Carnival?

Whatcha u got in mind Josh?

And, I'm told there are amenity points available for this specific sailing. I've been researching, went on Cruise Compete just to find out.

Happen to have prices?

Yep! Prices I received for a group are as follows:

JS - Junior Suite - $2413.87 per person
D1 - Balcony - $1903.87 per person
D2 - Balcony $1563.87 per person
E1 - Balcony $1603.87 per person (yes that is right, not a typo)
I - Outside - $1363.87 per person
Q- Inside $1013.87 per person

3rd and 4th $978.87 per person

Quads are open in category D1, F. H, I and L
Triples are open in catgory D1, E1, F, H, I and L

The prices include all port charges, taxes and fuel surcharges. Like I said they said there are 8 GAP points? I'm not sure what that means other than it's amenities.

Deposits are $250 per person and final payment is December 6, 2008

Oh and I emailed Tina if we can reform the group, so if we want this, we have to be REALLY serious this time. I am waiting for her reply.

Wow, and I thought I did research. I used Cruise Compete once, didn't like the agents that were directed my way, far too pushy! Anyhow, I'll talk it over with the family tonight. I know I'm interested. Ruby or Liberty would work nicely. And, I'll get back on later or tomorrow. Hopefully Tina says yes but, like you said we better be ready to deposit this time. We can't form the group again and not follow through!
