What type of pricing would that be for say late April or anytime in May? I know exact pricing can't be given so estimates are more than fine.

Excellent proposal Nick, I especially like the suggestion of both Paris and London pre-cruise. Might I be the first to suggest a Paris hotel: Champs Elysees Plaza Hotel

Now you KNOW my answer is yes! I'll recommend The Hotel Pont Royal on the Left Bank - that's where we stayed last year.

Love the Eurostar idea too!

Wow, I wasn't expecting so many responses so fast! Guess you guys like the idea. Now, here's a question - Tina told me that the Disney group looks like it might frizzle out, that would open up April/May in 2010, however, we DO have the double transit scheduled for 2010 and people maybe forced to pick one over the other and not be able to do both. Shall we leave it at 2011 or would you like to try for 2010?

For an April/May Westbound crossing expect to pay about $1200-$1300 per person for an inside (double) or $1400-1500 for a balcony.

Ok, I am now officially interested!

Without question it's an interested proposal. I voted for Maybe since I can't commit this far out. Depending on the size of the group, you might want to check out Hotel Mayfair http://www.paris-hotel-mayfair.com/en_content/index.php the location is great!

This is actual excellent pricing. Just for fun, I went on kayak.com and priced what a flight would cost me from Philly to Heathrow round trip. Based on leaving May 2, 2009 and returning May 9, 2009 the best price was $904 per person, the best price for a non-stop was $920 per person. Now considering all I did was get myself back and forth to England, $1200 - $1300 for a Transatlantic is a steal!

I can't commit to anything as far away as 2011 but, I will check in from time to time if this group actually forms. It's something I would consider!

I would say leave it for 2011. count me in.

Ok Nick, since response is overwhelmingly positive already, I'm making this official. You now have April/May 2011 blocked for this Paris, London and Transatlantic sailing. And, yes, I will be joining you! Wouldn't miss this one for the world! Here's the link to sign up for the opt-in newsletter to be kept up-to-date for pricing, itinerary, etc:

Thank you Tina!!! And so glad you're coming along with us!!

Oh Fearless Leader NINA - we refuse to go without you! Are you ready...to be stuck...at sea...
with ME...for 6 Days??!?!?

Nina, run and hide !!! Seriously, I'm very excited! Did Tina forget about the Baltics cruise or isn't official yet? I'll email her to reminder because I believe it is offical, if not, I'll let you know!

I also would be interested in a 2011 QM2 crossing. Jerry

You better be a good boy Nick, I have friends in high places. If you make me hide in the staff offices I can have you thrown in the brig or have laxatives slipped into your pasta sauce at dinner

(Actually, I am really looking forward to sailing with you and Leanna, I think James and I are going to get along with you great!)

Marina, I think the Baltics cruise is being planned for later in the year. Westbound TA in April/early May and then Baltics in August/September.

We're official for the Transatlantic - this is going to be awesome!

I'd like to suggest Hotel de Crillon in Paris for a possible hotel.

Nina are you going to plan any on-board exclusives for us like dinner at Todd English or something similar?

Oh I'm sure I'll be coming up with fun things to do with the group! Dinners, private parties, perhaps even some other special mixer type activities.

This should be a lot of fun!

Now this one I should be able to make!

I'm not sure I can join you but, I would like to recommend Hotel Regina for your stay in Paris - excellent hotel, you will not be disappointed.
