Northern Sights & Mickey's MAGICal Delights - 1st Baltic cruise - June 12,2010

[shoes99]

Now that Jackie and Monica have canceled this cruise, is there anyone else that is thinking about leaving our group?

We are on the edge. We will be 64 & 65 at time of sailing, if the economy doesn't bounce back, we might be looking to cancel or change to another line (Princess). We won't do anything yet...

I sure hope you don't change!

If you deduct the price of the airfare it has to make it more reasonable!

It is still a very expensive cruise!! Whilst no airfare is great, I don't think the word reasonable comes into the pricing unfortunately!!!

Just take the price of the PC cruise and airfare and the stays before and after and see if there is a big difference. It's the ports that I'm concerned about!

This would be 14 nights, no before or after, or airfares. The cost of this cruise is about $3300 more for the same stateroom than the PC(cruise only) and for 3 days less. I understand about the ports, but as Monica has found out you can do those at a lesser cost. I think we all think that we would prefer DCL though and obviously up till now we were prepared to pay that premium.

Just give it as a surprise for John!

 

[granmaz]

I changed the amount - forgot the cost of both cruises without looking!!!

He's paying!!!

 

[rotary2808]

He's paying!!!

Surprise, you're paying for your own surprise!!!!

 

[gydell]

Surprise, you're paying for your own surprise!!!!

I do it all the time! I don't work so DH has to pay for everything.

We're still in, but if the economy doesn't improve we will also have to cancel. I figure there's more than a year to go before we have to completely commit, so there's lots of time for anything to happen. In the meantime, we'll keep buying lottery tickets!

I have done it with other things, but nothing so expensive. He also has the credit card that we use to pay dollar payments.

 

[gydell]

we will also have to cancel.

Oh no!
At this rate DCL will have a ship with a dozen passengers!

I understand that!

 

[granmaz]

There has been no advertising the European cruises over here yet as far as I can see. I'm sure DCL will have a push at some point.

Unless something drastic happens in the economy I do think that DCL will do something. Not sure what.

Powerball is over $100 million for tonight!!!! Big money, big money....

Oh no!

I understand that!

Surely there will be more than that.

 

[gydell]

Surely there will be more than that.

At least then we won't have crowds at the activities!

 

[jeanneg]

On the plus side, if the ship is relatively empty we won't have to fight for palo ressies.
100 million!......I hope my hubby bought a ticket. If we win, drinks are on us.

[jeanneg]

Well then, I hope you win!
