Cruises Oh, My!

OK, it's decision time... Who is going to seriously do the cruise with us this year? I have 5 confirmed travelers currently. I do need to solidify this in order to make some key decisions on destinations and travel itineraries.

What I'm trying to accomplish at this point is a count of those that would be willing to commit financially to this trip and make reservations.

I would like to get a firm headcount by the 2nd of February. Once I get a firm head count, we'll start talking which cruise we would like to go on.

Looking at Carnival Cruises out of San Diego to Catalina and Ensenada we can get an inexpensive cruise (less than $200 per person) so for those of you driving down, this would be the least expensive route to go. If we find that participation is limited and flights will be involved for all, we may look into Bahama cruises. It's all flexible at this point.

Trying to find a good fit. I think leaving out of San Diego would be best if leaving from West coast, and if leaving from East Coast I'm game for just about anywhere... most seem to leave out of Miami, so I would by flying either way (10 hour drive doesn't thrill me either Janet!)

So far, I have interest expressed by:
Marilyn
Laura
Janet
and me

Some have said they would not travel on a cruise without a spouse. That's really your call - if you want to have a spouse come along, the more the merrier (not you mom - we're sneaking out without our men so they can watch the girls!!!)
