Hello Fellow Cruise Freeks,

We're currently less than 1 year old and, you're proving that you do indeed like Group Cruises and that you like having the power to vote when and where and, not just letting one or two people have full controll of everything.

So, I am going to attempt a group that is very far away, sometime in 2011 to a more exotic location such South America, Tahiti, or possibily even Asia.

Why Start the Poll So Far In Advance?
I'm starting this poll 3 years in advance for several reasons. First, since I'm attempting for a more exotic location people need time to think and digest the idea. Secondly, getting enough people interested in the same destination and time of year will take some time. Lastly, for those who are interested, this will allow them to start saving and planning for this cruise now.

Destinations


South America - South America is huge, with scenic wonders that would impress even the
most jaded traveler, cosmopolitan cities and native villages,
snow-capped mountains, deserts and lush rain forests, miles of sandy
beaches and areas so isolated a visitor feels swept back in time. One of the best times of year to visit South America is during Carnival which in 2011 will be in March.

Tahiti & the South Pacific - The Pacific Ocean has more than eleven million square miles of ocean
dotted with islands, some no larger than a suburban back yard.

The
names themselves conjure up images of times past, great voyages of
discovery and pitched battles, now etched in history - Cook Islands,
Fiji, Kiribati, New Caledonia, Niue, Papua New Guinea, Solomon Islands,
Tahiti, Tonga, Tuvalu, Vanuatu and Samoa - they all have a charm and
allure which has attracted explorers, adventurers and fortune seekers
since the dawn of time.

Thirteen island nations, with a total
population of just over 6 million people offer so much to see and do.
Going on a cruise to the rich and diverse South Pacific will let you
experience the enchanting islands and beautiful people that for
hundreds of years stirred the mind and excited the imagination.

Australia - Come see the wonder, down under! Cruising to Australia gives you the opportunity to enjoy a wide range
of pleasures. From the Sydney Opera House to the Great Barrier Reef,
you can see a variety of sites and sounds that range from metropolis to
wilderness. Few locations on earth give you the opportunity to scuba
dive in the world's largest coral reef and go on a shopping spree the
same week. Most sailings leave from Syndney or Auckland, New Zealand.
Cruises in Australia may visit Hobart, Melbourne, Sydney, or
destinations around the continent and New Zealand.

Asia - The Far East is rich in history, offering unique experiences,
breathtaking landscapes, mouthwatering cuisine, arts and music
reflecting ancient cultures and modern tastes. From the unexplored regions dating back hundreds of thousands of
years to the most metropolitan,high-tech cities in the world...It's
guaranteed that by choosing an itinerary to the Far East, you will not
be disappointed and you will not forget it for the rest of your life.

Have another suggestion or idea? Please be sure to tell us! The poll is open for 550 days beginning January 28, 2008.

I'm with those who said South America or Hawaii. Australia would be great but, given the very, very, very long flight and the time constraints of most people's schedules, I just don't see it as being practical for the majority...

I think South America would be great. Would love to go to Australia as well. Too many wonderful places in the world to visit & not enough money do it all!

Not something I can even consider at that point, kids will be in school and we won't be able to get away unless it's during school breaks. Sad
