Idea for a time and place to meet everyone

Well, I feel ashamed that I have been reading the california message board. Not really. But they have a great idea about meeting everyone. Why dont we (all the men) go on a cruise? I can get us all a group rate at a great price. (I happen to a travel agent as well). we can set it up for early fall and go on a 4 day baja mexico cruise. I am sending my wife and her friends the end of april for $210 each. I can get everyone flight/hotels/car rentals and cruise tickets. Or I could just get my own and you guys can get yours? Either way...I would LOVE to be on a cruise with all my buddies from OH! Just a thought.

Sounds great. If the dates work out, the wife and I would be interested.  Any particular cruisline? We like Royal and Celebrity, but they're all good. DD

The wife and I have only cruised with Carnival, I would like to give Royal a try myself.

Royal and Celebrity were the ones I was thinking of also. Lets see how others feel and we can all decide on a good date and go from there. Maybe late August to mid September?

If you can get me a cruise pass for 210, then I'm at least interested. If you can get discounted plane tickets, that's a plus as well.  Good Effort! Ronnie

I have checked for itineraries for August and September, that time of year is somewhat the slowdown of cruising, but they are still cheap at $299, I am sure I can get a better rate for a large group once we see if everyone can make it. I can get flights as well. The sooner we get a count of everyone and book the cheaper it will be. I hope you guys can jump on board. below is the itinerary...

Royal 4 Night Baja Mexico Cruise on Monarch Of The Seas   Ship: Monarch Of The Seas Sail Date: 10-Sep-2007 Destination: Mexico Transportation: Ground Transfers, Directions to Los Angeles, California Promotions: For this Itinerary or Search All Promotions Stateroom Pricing: Inside Ocean-View Balcony Deluxe & Suite $299.00 USD  $339.00 USD  N/A  $469.00 USD Sailing Itinerary Date Port Arrive Depart 10-Sep Los Angeles, California 5:30 PM Boarding 11-Sep San Diego, California 8:00 AM 5:00 PM Docked 12-Sep Catalina Island, California 8:00 AM 5:00 PM Tendered 13-Sep Ensenada, Mexico 8:00 AM 5:00 PM Docked 14-Sep Los Angeles, California 6:00 AM Departure I will check with my agency and see what kind of discount there will be if we have a large group.

It would be easier for us to get a sitter  before our kids start school after Labor Day.   But, whatever works for everyone else, would be good. DD

I have spoke with my agency and the more cabins we book the cheaper they get. I have checked other dates and they just get more expensive. we can make this happen guys! Lord knows we have handled harder things than a cruise! This is going to be GREAT!

I just spoke with Royal and they said I could use my group points to get as much as $100 off each room! They are sending me all the info so I will keep you guys posted.

This cruise sounds pretty cool, too.
