Clearly it will be impossible to please everyone, given that we are so spread out all over the US. However, cost is vital to me, and I'm sure it's vital to everyone.

The best buy I am aware of is out of Galveston, 5 days, Carnival Ecstacy, and it's been running $200 to $300 per person (that's what it was in 2007). When I have a sense of people who would be interested in knowing more, and MIGHT be interested, I will find out more specifics.

Right now I don't know if we are talking about 5 cabins or 25 cabins, or 50 cabins. So that all makes a difference.

I'm going to keep this thread up high in the posts for the next week to make sure that most people will see it, and hopefully they will post some level of interest.

Spouses and kids are welcome, of course. If some of you would like to travel alone, as part of the group, that's good (my DH will probably not be going this time).

wow that is a sweet deal! 2 or 300 a piece.. too good to be true.. let me know

That's without airfare, but I think we can get some good rates on airfares, too.

Claire, I would be interested depending on the cost. There are several places I could fly out from depending on what would save me the most money. Either Grand Rapids (GRR), Lansing, O'Hare, or Detroit. Let me know what the cost might be.

Claire,
Hubby and I took this cruise last Jan with our little one..it was a lot of fun. Please add us to the list we love to cruise and have taken several through the years.
A TT cruise would ROCK! Of course we need the cheesy matching T-Shirts! LOL Keey me posted as dates and cost/deposits.

PS...Early Dec would be ideal for me if possible. But will look at any date.

This is getting better and better all the time.

I was thinking, too, about TT t-shirts - but why don't we consider sun visors and ball caps since we would be able to use them more while we are on the cruise. I know a company that embroiders sun visors and ball caps. We can all decide what it should say.....what color.....etc.

I'm very excited about this!!!

i would like to be added to the list.......i have a 15yr old and an 11 year old that would be coming with me.......i live in houston so if anyone needed a ride from the airport, i could help.

I would love to do this. I'd rather be on a boat then on a plane. I can swim but I can't fly

I'll have to see how much vacation time I'll have left and it's pretty scarce in December but I could find a way. Ash would have to come with me. And most likely Dan as well. I'm hoping it's kid/family friendly?

This sounds like so much fun. I am hoping to take the kids to disney world for xmas so I won't have any vacation time.
