Wanted: Roommate for 2010 Podcast Cruise

[mikelan6]

Hi everyone!

I've signed up for the 2010 podcast cruise, but as of yet, I have no one to go with. If you're a male that would like to share an outside cabin with me, please let me know.

Thanks!!!

If it makes any difference, I'm a gay male, but I don't mind if you're not. :goodvibes

Update: I found my roommate. Thanks!



If you'd like to have your name added to the list, please IM me.

Kevin, John, or ASKTracy said they were going to have a list for people looking for roommates. Tracy is on vacation till June 1. If you wait till she gets back, I'm sure she will put up the list. That way, your request doesn't get lost in threads.

[DisneyKevin]

Hi folks....

I am going to sticky this to the top of the Board.

Mike....I'm going to alter your title a bit so that it just reads room mate....not specifically male room mate.

I dont believe anyone will have a hard time finding a room mate.

There were many successful stories on the cruise.

Let me know if I can help.

Kevin

I'm in the need a roommate category.

If we snore like Bob should we mention that ahead of time or let it be a surprise? :laughing:

If you snore like Bob....you might tossed overboard near Nassau.

Well that would be funny too!

Female roommate wanted!

I really do want to go on the podcast cruise - hard to imagine planning a vacation over a year and a half from now.

I am hoping to be spending more time "out and about" than in the cabin. Also hoping to keep expenses down so I can have a fantastic Disney cruise on a public librarian's (low!) salary.

The money saved by booking an inside room goes towards airfare, or a few days at WDW before the cruise.

Anyone else thrifty and frugal? :thumbsup2

p.s. Love the idea of staying at Wilderness Lodge or the Poly - but I on a pop budget.

[stitchlover]

Goodness gracious...I'll be 42 and frugal at the time. Man I'm getting old...but not as old as Kevin!:rotfl:

[rtobe]

Hmm... by the 2010 cruise I will be as old as Kevin :scared1: (although he is about 9 months older) - sorry Kevin...:angel:

I am looking for female roommate. Willing to splurge for the veranda cabin but not required.

Not morning person. Second dinner seating. Last cruise, needed to clean off bed (from shopping in Alaska ports of call) so cabin steward could do evening turn down :rolleyes1

I took the plunge and requested a quote.

Thank you, Kevin!

I know that with 18 months advance, I will be able to find someone to share a cabin with.

I'd really like to hear the experiences of the people who shared rooms with strangers - although by now they're probably great friends.

My screen name at Trip Advisor is FrugalTravelGal! :teeth: I requested a quote for a cat. 11, but would've asked for cat. 12 if it had been available.

I like the idea of staying at the Grand Floridian, but with someone else's money! :rotfl2: Oh well - I'll go there for afternoon tea and act like I belong there. :)

I usually go to WDW solo, unless I can bribe one of my kids (18, 21, and 24) or husband to go with me! I plan to go to WDW for several days before the Podcast cruise. :woohoo:

[mikelan6]

If you'd all like, IM me and I will modify this threat to place the screen names, gender, age and preferred category on the first post so that it'd be easier to find a cabin mate.

[mainegal]

I know that Pete is born in 1964.
Walter is almost 50.
How old is Kevin?


I hit 50 a couple years ago, but I am no where near as "old" as my friends who have grown children and are grandparents. At least, I don't feel like I am over fifty!

[WaltD4Me]

Kevin just turned 50 a few weeks ago. :teeth:


And ummmmmmmmm, I sort of wasn't kidding about the snoring thing :blush:
Maybe Corey has some extra earplugs left over from the California trip?

Lisa...how much can a single supplement be? :rotfl: My husband is a horrendous snorer maybe you and I should talk!

[tlcoke]

I am interested in going, but will need a Female Roommate. I am a First Timer and Frugal is Good, would like to keep costs down as much as possible. Typically, I am a morning person, but can be very quiet moving around.

[figment3258]

I will be looking for a female room mate.

I am in my 20's I have two young girls that will be staying home with daddy

First time cruiser!

I thought I was 1st pick for you as a roomie, :snooty::upsidedow:hug::worship:

Pj

Please:flower3:


Ps. I have a dummie date for Dec '09 that has to be moved, very soon. I want confirm with Tracey if that booking can even be used for this event. If I can I would be willing to do a three female room, to reduce costs even more. I love the sofa on DCL, I am more then comfortable on it, so two ladies could do a split bed (twins.)

Then I have to figure out how to get one extra day of vacation for that year, although I would be willing to take a single day without pay for this. The best alternative is that we are allowed to borrow a day or two from the next year, kind of like borrowing DVC points.

[Tissa]

I planned on taking my boys but they aren't interested in anything that does not have to do with the parks. The idea of a cruise got a big "NO" from them. Fine they can stay home with Nana, I'm going.

So I'd be interested in a roommate. It will be my first cruise so I'm open to any cat but I'd prefer to have at least a window. If age matters I will have turned 40 in July 2010 but I won't look a day over 39:rotfl:

[mainegal]

Tracy (tlcoke) and Lyn (mainegal) have joined as roomies for the cruise.

Any other roomie matches made?

[NancyIL]

I booked an unnamed 2nd passenger - so we'll see what happens in the next 18 months.

[rtobe]

Hi, I'm still looking. I booked a cat 7 on deck 6 as a solo to hold space. PM if interested. I also booked second dinner seating.

[Tissa]

Well take me off the list. The only person that could watch my boys after school had a stroke and is no longer able to do that. So my days of solo trips are over.

[guynwdm]

Lisa...how much can a single supplement be? :rotfl: My husband is a horrendous snorer maybe you and I should talk!

I went single on PCC 1.0 and have done it on other cruises as well. Generally the single supplement is the cost of 2 people minus the taxes and port charges for one of them. You are not quite paying double. Depending on how bad the snoring is it might be worth it. :rotfl2:

I hope that everything is alright with your friend.

I think I read somewhere that it is about 75% of a double occupancy.

The single supplement is 175%

For example, if the cost of the stateroom is $1000 per person based on double occupency, the solo traveler would $1750.

My solo cat 11 was 712.XX, but that is with the OB 10% discount. Can anyone figure out what the single sup is from that? I had thought on Disney it was closer to 150% until you got to the veranda rooms.

With Disney, it's difficult to know the exact price online because they don't disclose the exact port fees and such. From what I saw, port fees at the moment are $44.92 per person. From what I calculated, singles pay 157% of the fare.

[nmoore14]

Hello all,
I am newbie at cruising, but I enjoy all that is Disney. I am planning on booking a Navigator's Verandah Stateroom (Cat 7). If anyone else is interested PM me. I am a 29 year old female, non-smoker. I know there is no smoking except in designated areas, but I know some people are allergic to the smell of smoke. Hope to have a great time on the cruise :cool1:

:welcome: aboard Joel!

[kafitty]

since it's likely i won't find anyone who wants to go with me, i guess i'll take the plunge in put my name in the roomie pool!

i'm Kait, i'll be 24 on the cruise and would love someone sort of my own age to pal around with, but i get along with pretty much everyone!
i can go cheapo, but i could probably swing verandah too...a year SHOULD be enough time to save. :rolleyes1

definitely more of a night owl...will have late seating.

you can click the link in my siggie to get to my facebook, yes i am a real person ;)

Welcome Joel. What state are you from...I'm keeping a list to see how many States and Countries will be represented on this cruise. See my thread on States and Countries.

[CynthiaC925]

Hi, I'm looking for a female roommate for 2.0. I have a category 11 booked. I'm planning on flying in the day before the cruise and staying post cruise 4 days-hopefully at Bay Lake Towers MK view but for sure at Saratoga Sprgs. I'm a DVC member so if you'd like to room before/after the cruise you would be welcome-and @ a cheap price! Please PM - thank you!

I've cruised '99/00, panama and transatlantic am looking forward to my first podcast cruise!:yay:

[curlgirl71]

I am pricing the podcast cruise and am looking for someone to share the room with me. I am a young 57 year old woman, I do smoke ( in assigned areas)
anyone interested?
