I have posted the following on the 3rd posting on this thread. If any of you know of a better way to provide a form you can complete and send to me, I would love to hear about it.
If it is your sincere intent to order a cruise shirt, please copy the order form found on the google link:

Although early interest infers moderate sales numbers and shirts selling for $33.50 or less, prices could range as low as $26 or as high as $45.75 (see table).This price includes the manufacturers bulk shipping and handling charges but not the cost to mail them to the individual group members. Bob & I will handle that mailing and advise you of the pass-through charge from the USPS. Regardless of when you order, every shirt will be sold at the same price. However, we cannot confirm the cost until the order deadline. If youre confident youll buy a certain number of shirts even if we havent reached a discounted price, please place your order immediately. I will update the thread weekly with the number ordered by that date, and resultant unit pricing.
The manufacturer requires the total order for our group reflect at least 10 shirts in each size requested, i.e. if we order 100 shirts, 89 adult size large 10 size medium and 1 size small, they cannot fill the size small order. The group must order a minimum of 5 yards of material in order to include any material. (If we do not receive ample orders, you will not be charged and your yardage order canceled.)
They have not offered child size shirts before. Therefore, based on your feedback, they will determine the sizes they are able to offer.
We received a sample adult 2XL shirt for review. It has five buttons, including the one at the collar, which closes to about 19 inches. The camp-cut shirt was true to size with the following measurements: from bottom of collar to bottom of back of shirt is 32.5 inches, back of shirt width at bottom of sleeve and waist is 28 inches and length of shirt sleeves is 12 inches at the shoulder seam. With front panels of 14.5 inches, the 2XL is roomy at 56 inches. The 100% polyester shirts were selected due to the fact they do not shrink, will wrinkle much less than other material and dry quickly all factors when considering travel wear. Additionally,this lightweight,breathable polyester is the best medium for color transfer, and with the complexity of our design this was a factor.
Although Bob really would love to have a pocket on the shirt, he agrees that the busy design would not lend itself to adding a pocket unless it is matched up to the shirt print. Even Tommy Bahama's, that he pays over $150 for do not have matched pockets any more. So, no pocket will be on the shirt.
Payment will be required by Dec. 1, 2011 via PayPal, utilizing an account established for this event only. Further information forthcoming.
Current schedule has the shirts being received from the manufacturers by March 1, 2012 for distribution to you by March 15, 2012.

I just sent you a PM about size
Robin "D"
I have a question about the sizing. I am assuming that these sizes are men's sizes? So maybe a man's large might transer into a womans medium, etc?

Val, thank you so much for all your hard work.
Wishing Bob better health and that that find out watch wrong so that he can get better soon.
Corinna, hope things have quietened down and hope you and your family are all safe.
Was wondering the same thing. Has anyone done a similar cruise? I've read somewhere on the DisBoards that the Pacific can be pretty rough!
to the group.
