Current enemy updates 188 on the list, no new beach party details, and still aiming for ES for their hotel.

Aw who cares what they're doing anyhow! Let's concentrate on our stuff! And let the party begin!

Actually I just emailed Tina and Host Jackie asking if one of them would send out an email to stir interest in the pre-cruise party!

Sounds like this is going to be tons of fun! Can't wait!

This is going to be superior to anything the other guys have planned!

Do we have an idea of cost yet for the precruise party?

I was just going over Ajani's blog and we, meaning Cruise Freeks, have over 320 signed up on our list and the other guys only have 180 or so... Think that should tell people something - especially the powers that be like Royal Caribbean and our "friends" over on CC who think this site is a joke! I hope we top 500 just to show them!

Kenny,

The "real" number will be how many actually book ... that's where we'll build clout for onboard amenities, meet & greets, etc.

Susan! Welcome Home! Hope everything went well and that your Mom is going to be ok!

Welcome back Host Ivanova!

thanks!

surgery went well enough - mom is already home (driving dad bananas, which is a good sign really) - she needs to have her body brace adjusted to it fits more comfortably and she has a follow up appt with the doctor this Friday - she'll hopefully get the pathology report at that time.

Glad to hear that much went well! Fingers are crossed for a good, clean pathology!

Hey Everyone,

When booking (and even after booking) check out Roomsavers.com for walk-in and print out coupons. We just got back from a cruise on the Freedom of the Seas and the night before we stayed at the Comfort Inn. Their group rate was over $130. I saw the walkin rate on Roomsavers.com for 99.95 so I called Hotels.com (who we booked through) to see if they would accept that rate over the phone since they do have the lowest price gaurantee and....they did! Sometimes it doesn't hurt to ask : )

Seems like June 18th can't get here soon enough, can't wait for the announcement!!

I know what you mean Bronx!

Here is another fun decorating idea, we can get one or two of these anchors and fish net to put around the party room:

Very cute decorations Robyn!

Sounds like a great time for everyone who will be attending! Any word from the catering places yet?

This is going to be an amazing party! What are we planning for on-board? I'm assuming we're having a Meet and Mingle.

I think Meet and Mingle will be a given. There has been some talk about doing a group dinner at the speciality restaurant, don't know if that's still an option or not.

at this point, just about anything is an "option" The more we have booked into the group space, the more clout we'll have for negotiating onboard "stuff"

Can someone explain to me what's happening on the 18th in New York? Apparently some people received invitations and others didn't...

I believe that people with Diamond Plus or other VIP status got invites to NYC for the big Genesis/Oasis News to be announced on June 18th. So, if they're making that big of a deal about it, I'm sure we can expect some huge news - like when booking will open or itineraries, who knows maybe even the final design of the ship will be unveiled!

Can't wait!

only a week and a day to go and we'll find out
