Hawaii to Vancouver April 9 2010 - Who's Going?

I'm still thinking about this cruise but, thought I'd start a thread to see if any other Cruise Freeks are going on this sailing.

DW and I are considering this cruise! Looks to be 'the cruise I always wanted to do'!
Maybe a second honeymoon..!!!

Looks as tho' all the BL guarantees are sold out on Celebrity website.. Guessing there must be a 'block' of them reserved by the 'board'!

Noticed that Celebrity 'air' from Buffalo is around $800. pp which doesn't seem all that bad in this day and age..

Hoping two other couples, we enjoy sailing with, consider joining us as well..

Hope the 'booking' opens soon.. Gotta' find those primo cabins.. Never sailed Celebrity!

This is one that I am regretfully passing on, just can't do it with two school age kids. I agree it does look like "the cruise"! And, I just hope in about 10 years when both kids are in college there is a similar itinerary, nothing will stop us at that point!

Wish I had that type of vacation time, I'd love to go! Spend a few days on Oahu, then cruise for 15 nights... sounds like paradise found!

DW is getting serious, and if the prices for a CC are what is currently shown, I believe we'll book an 'aft'... Maybe 7208 or 8172 look like good pics, if they are available! The 'air' will have to be 'guaranteed' in some way, as I'd be leery of having to pay 'adjustments' if the price goes up..

Never sailed Celebrity, but we are open to trying any line... We may be hooked!!

One couple from the UK, who we love to sail with, can not 'pull this one off'.. over $12,000. total for them and WAY to much fly time..

I'm giving this sailing heavy consideration and I'm happy to announce that Travel Agent assignment will be happening this week, so, you can begin placing deposits or transfering reservations that already might be in place!

I asked this question over in "Ask A Travel Agent", apparently once you're under deposit, they cannot raise the rates, even on airfare. Here's the link: https://cruisefreekforums.forumotion.com/ask-a-travel-agent-f13/airline-price-hikes-t1193.htm?sid=e98a3ec5815a7613e2bc4cd9ea3de22d

Looks like TA assignment happens tomorrow, now I really need to make a decision!

Hey Everyone, I'm new here but had to sign up when I saw this sailing and the Royal Caribbean sailing for 2010. I'll have 7 weeks vacation in 2010 and, I'm happy I can start planning how I'm going to enjoy them now!

ALOHA!

Waiting to see what the TA has to offer in a nice aft cabin... Looks like I'd have to book a CC, but I've heard they are 'sold out'!

DW and I are 'hooked on aft', so we may have to find something else... Hope not, but we shall see..

Bogeysdad, CC isn't sold out

Congratulations on being assigned the group Susan! I have a cabin under reservation directly with Celebrity, when things calm down a bit for you, I'll transfer it over. I know you have your hands full with Oasis this week!

I have started Roll Call for this sailing just click the link:
https://cruisefreekforums.forumotion.com/2010-f157/celebrity-millennium-april-9-2010-hawaii-to-vancouver-t1196.htm

I made a blog dedicated to this sailing: http://celebritymillenniumapril92010.blogspot.com/

Since I will be out of school and working at that point, it is my hope to be able to join you!

Hello Fellow Hawaii Cruisers, I am currently developing a dedicated website for this sailing, here's the link: http://www.celebritymillenniumhawaii.makeswebsites.com/index.php

Keep in mind I just started but, it will feature the ports of call, ships and other information when I am finished. Looking forward to sailing with you!

Hey all ... I got an extension on the group space I'm holding, in case anyone is still interested in booking.

When do we have until Susan, almost forgot about it because we got so wrapped up in Oasis. We're very interested - and will be two to three couples and, we'd want the pre-cruise package for at least 4 or 5 nights at Hilton Hawaiian Village. Going to make it a REAL vacation!

I did a song and dance and got an extension until August 1, 2008 before they'll start talking about recalling unbooked space again....

Hmmmm - this is tempting, going to see what I can do vacation-size.

We had hoped to, but NO aft cabin availability led us over to CCL Spirit. DRAT!

Really wanted to finally try Celebrity.. Especially a 'group'..

Oh boy, this is hard... Do I spend vacation time in Hawaii or do I take the double transit on Cunard... You guys offer too many great choices!

Susan, is this sailing open for booking? If so, are there amenities? What might they be? And, what type of pre-cruise package is being offered at Hawaiian Hilton Village?

We're getting ready to deposit our 2009 and 2010 cruises, so, I'd like more info about this sailing as well. In other words, give us reasons to book with Cruise Freeks, I didn't see any amenities listed on the website.

The amenities are listed at https://cruisefreekforums.forumotion.com/Hawaii-Group-Cruise-h68.htm as being:
Cruise Freek Amenities:

• $75 per cabin on-board credit
  
• On-Board Meet & Greet
  

Pre-Cruise Packages - Coming Soon


The OBC is actually $100 per cabin instead of $75 per cabin.

Anyone who wants a pre-cruise package in Hawaii or post-cruise package in Vancouver, we will customize packages as they are requested to include airfare if needed, pre and/or post cruise hotels, and transfers between airports/hotels/cruise terminals.

Cool! Anyone else traveling from NJ/NYC who is might be interested in trying to get group air from Newark?
