Here's the address for the cruise. Prices start at $799 plus $219 for taxes. I will be skipping this. It looks fun but I'm not paying $1000 for a 3 day cruise on a Carnival boat.

Angey - the tattoo thing - that is a great one.


I still can't get on the site. How on earth will people be able to book the cruise if it can't handle the info? Crazy. I don't know what to do either. It's nuts that they aren't releasing prices before they go on sale. How are you supposed to make a decision if you don't even know the cost.

The price will make it or break it for me.

Holy cow! $1018! NO WAY!

Yes, I just checked out the prices. SORRY, Angela will not be going on the cruise.

Shelby there is No longer a need for you to "talk" my husband into it. I WILL NOT spend that much to see them. LOVE Donnie to death but I will have to catch him on tour. I just hope that they still do a 5* type thing along with the tour also, I hope this isnt our ONLY chance to get "facetime" this time around.

Ok I am ready for the spring... Summer tour dates- I am still game for a few concerts, but the cruise is offically OUT.

Hope all you ladies that do go on the cruise have a BLAST and share the pictures.

Me too. With the specials WDW has out now I can take my family of 4 for 7 days for a couple hundred more. Ugh. Gosh that is more than I thought it'd be. I knew the prices would be upped but I'm surprised by that much.

 

[Krispy]

I have been following this thread for awhile - since way back before the November concert in Tampa... It's taken me this long to jump in - not sure why though!!!

I can't believe that while they have all aged (VERY well I might add) they still have what it takes to bring 15 - 20 thousand women to hysterics...

But I will not be one of the ones on the cruise - I can't see paying over $1K for a three day cruise for me..

Welcome newcomers!!!

Heather is bowing out. I just can't justify the cost. I was just in a chat room with my friends the Barbie Girls, and even they are passing , although some of their concert buddies are going and will be guest blogging. We decided that for that price we can fly to a couple of shows and do 5* if it is available and we will pick a fun destination to attend a show!

If anyone IS going... have tons of fun and keep us updated!!!

 

[danalee]

Nope $1000 is a little steep for me! and thats not getting to the ship or any extras, wow!

and honestly the whole idea scares me still, I'm thinking cat fights, hair pulling and girl on girl name calling will be the bulk of the entertament!

Oh ok wait...now I know why my hubby wanted to go!

still holding out for spring/summer tour dates!

 

[hmdavid]

It would easily be $2000+ by the time you add airfare and *ahem* beverages... which can get out of control so quickly by the time the weekend is over! Hope the tour dates are out soon!

 

[eh24fan]

See, I told ya'll we were the sane ones!! We are normal and therefore, we deserve special face time! I can't imagine spending that much money for 3 days of anything. I can't wait to hear from those that do go though...

 

[hmdavid]

However, if I win the lottery, it is a whole different story!

 

[hmdavid]

We have posted 8 pages on this thread today with all of the cruise excitement!

 

[N&B'smom]

I'm sure we're not going either. I laughed at the prices and told my hubby the cheapest room (imagine a closet) was going to be $799 plus taxes and all. His comment was 'I thought it was going to be $2000'. I did throw that number out yesterday to him.

Anyway, I'm NOT a fan of boats of any size. Plus, my friend is going on a cruise in August that is quite costly, it's for 5 of them and they always get a balcony. SO, I'm sure her hubby won't be onboard. (no pun intended)

But that will be fine with me, I just don't know that I could do it!

 

[lovemickeya]

I feel better knowing I am not the ONLY one NOT going.

This is the statement that scared me the most-
"All cabin prices are subject to change (without notice) and availability"

And the tickets CHEAPER ($749 per person) are LIMITED. So that means you have to be a very lucky person to get those this morning.

Have a great day, getting the kiddos off to school then I am going to the gym, I STILL want to look Cute for the concerts - EVEN though I will not have to wear a Swim suit (that is a plus for not going on the cruise).

 

[Brae's Mom]

I'm glad to see that I am not the only one not going on the cruise. Don't get me wrong I would love nothing more than to spend Jordan's birthday with him, but that is pretty steep.

Have a great day everyone. No we can wait for those tour dates to be released.

 

[N&B'smom]

My friend and I chatted this morning and we agreed that we'd rather save the money for 5 star!! And the fact that my hubby agreed to let me spend $2000 on a cruise, I'd say that DEFINITELY means I'll be able to go to see them in concert.

Anyway....so, let's pass the time with a little 'get to know me' sort of quiz... if you would like to add any questions, feel free!!

Shelby

P.S. I'm off to take Becca to the Dr (she's been sick since Sunday) but I'll post my answers when I get back!! Like I said, if anyone wants to add anything...please do!!! (can you tell I'm bored???)

But for the price it should be a one on one birthday celebration, huh!

I think its my hubbys recovery drugs but still this morning he asked about this, and then I tell him the price and thats the low price of things and he says "you know it will sell out quick cause those guys seem to make alot of woman crazy"

Really now I dont know who he is calling crazy I told him that WE are all the sane nkotb fans and have (I think) for most part thought it would be to crazy or to much money, but he said "Yeah but if it was free all of you sane fans would be there to"

I'm starting to think he is reading our post!

So who IS going, somebody, anybody we do need SOMEONE to give us a true play by play and get some inside scoop.....so who is out there willing to take one for our Dis/nkotb team????

I still want to know how they talked Jon into this?

I can't remember if I said this before or not ... the first time I saw NKOTB (back in Dec. 1989), I broke out with chicken pox just days before! My mom, who is a nurse, told me I could go anyway, just to cover up and NOT TOUCH ANYONE! Hair down, a turtleneck, a vest (a la NKOTB) and a pair of jeans later, I was there.

 

[Marshmelo]

No way I'll be going! That price is crazy! My DH and I could take a Disney cruise for the price we would pay for a top/bottom bunk "closet" on that Carnival ship! I wonder if they will even be able to sell all the cabins? I was over on the nkotb forum and there are a ton of fans posting that they won't be going. It's hard to find ones who ARE planning to go. I'm just going to hope for a concert in Indiana over the summer so I can do the 5* VIP.

I will try to do the Q&A's a little later
