OPERATION HOPE FLOATS: Caribbean Princess 9/19/09

This organization looks great. Now to sell it....

I'm keeping my fingers crossed.....

Yahooooooo! Three inside cabins booked!!!!

Okay, the prices have dropped dramatically. Please check out the Pricing THread if you would like to join us. So far, the following people are booked:

PRTTravel (Candice, Craig & Twins)
Candy's Mom and Friend
Admin (Tina)
Tina's Parents
Leanna, NickNeedsToKnow (Leanna & Nick)
Oesnjstar (Pat & Scott)

Ok...I give up.
Why is this cruise so expensive?
It's a FALL cruise, and barely leaves the USA?

I paid nearly $600 less for a 15 day Princess cruise to Hawaii! (balcony)

I don't know why the rates are like this, Ron. I'm just posting what Princess tells me! And this is minus any commission that I would get. Hope it's a better rate for you now....

Thanks,
Candy

Candy, you should tell people these are prices PER CABIN not PER PERSON!!! So come on Pete, use that last week of vacation and join us - if you can!!

Ron =

Ok, I forgive you for the 'grave' error in names....
I understand they charge more for a NE fall cruise...but I just have a hard time with paying more to cruise in Hurricane season for a week, than for a cruise twice as long to a tropical location in the height of high season.
To me...that's just WACKY! Don't get me wrong, I'd love to do a cruise like that...but pricewise...I'd choose the Hawaii one everytime. JMHO.

Nick....sometimes you actually make sense.
I missed the part about FOR 2 PEOPLE!

Pete - WHOOMS. I saw "Mon" and thought "Ron" for some reason. Like I told Nick, the twins have had me up since 5:45am. Ugh. See? I can't even spell WHOOPS right. But, yes, you should most definitely join us. That way, I can film you for a CF webisode.

Nick - If people would actually read what I wrote before the prices, they would see that it says "Rates for two (all taxes and fees included) are as follows". I guess folks are so used to seeing per person, not per couple. Thanks for clarifying it. I do appreciate that.

RATES PER PERSON START AT JUST $656, INCLUDING ALL TAXES AND FEES!

That should do it. I need to snap out of it and take a shower. Sheesh.

Candy

Candy...you crack me up. I'm a little slow sometimes....Mom said Third Grade was the 3 hardest years of my life!

Hope you can join us Pete, it wouldn't be the same without you!

Pete - HAH! It took me a sec. I was like, "Okay, why was he in 3rd grade for 3 years?" Yesh.

Candy I think you need a nap!!

These prices are great ... wish I could afford to do another cruise this year. This would be high on my wish list!! Pete ... i think you should go on this one ... you are one of the main characters on this freeky board!!

The twins are asleep! IN THEIR OWN CRIBS!!!! Massive victory on the Cain front, my friends. MASSIVE. Wow. I really hope that this sets a precedent. I'm so excited. Let's see how I am in the morning.

Livabeth - You should TOTALLY come!!! It's only a $100 per cabin deposit if you book this week. And I would be happy to work out a payment plan with you. The final payment isn't due until July 6th. That's about 15 weeks away. You can do it! Come with us!

Candy

Well, they didn't sleep through the night in their own cribs. Oh, well. It was worth a shot. Tonoght, my mom is going to Foxwoods and my husband is working, so I'm on my own with them. Wish me luck!

Okay, do Fred just joined this group cruise. Marina? Are you coming?

Current roll call:

PRTTravel (Candice, Craig & Twins)
Candy's Mom and Friend
Admin (Tina)
Tina's Parents
Leanna, NickNeedsToKnow (Leanna & Nick)
Oesnjstar (Pat & Scott)
fkurzweil (Fred)
