WoW

I wonder if the OP just wanted to start some stuff.....LOL

great idea thanks Marylou.. is anyone else working on a group outing for another port?

Kevin...I believe as long as you own the shares BEFORE you cruise you qualify I would think you need at least a 30 day notice to provide the line with documentation of ownership like a copy of your brokerage statement..

On two other forums that I visit there was talk about Princess eliminating Door Hangs! Both OP indicated they received notes after placing a door hangs at the start of the cruise... something along the lines of "Very sorry, Nothing is allowed on doors." Has any one else heard anything about that? And why would they do this?

nope you never know....

us either... darn it!

Wow Judson... I hope some other crazies will jump on board with us before the prices go up!... I understand there are a couple of people on the fence..sure hope they don't get a splinter! Joey- just how tall is that fence? Andrea, It depends as to who is on the fence!..case in point for David and I the fence was very low we just stepped over ....others meanwhile had some difficulty getting over but managed to do so.. then there are others that climb on the fence and can't make it over and just stay there...and still others just look at the fence and walk away... so to answer your question "how tall is that fence?" i dunno... how tall do YOU think it is?

are you going to go for it?

I want to see the glee in late January or February when the ice storms hit that area..but it does seem like a interesting idea.. I wish them luck

interesting...Thanks Mercedes!

Joey, what a great word! You just summed up the cruise in one word!! it is a fun word isnt it

THEN IN THAT CASE.....even without having dined there in that case it would be chops!

Carnival Corporation is keeping its cruise ships full, but only by significantly cutting prices. While this is great news for consumers looking for a vacation deal, the moves will likely put pressure on revenues and margins going forward. The company reported first quarter results that exceeded Street estimates yesterday. However, Carnival lowered its full-year outlook as pressures from the economic recession continue to impact the company's business. Although the 1st-quarter results were impressive given the economic environment, investors are far more concerned with the outlook going forward. To that end, management stated that booking trends remain strong, and are actually up year-over-year. This strength in bookings is somewhat deceptive, however, as the company has been required to substantially reduce its prices. Management stated that for its North American brands, pricing is down between 10% and 15% year-over-year for Caribbean cruises, while prices for Alaskan and European cruises are down 30% to 40% versus the prior-year period. Pricing for the company's European brands have held up better, but is still down approximately 10% year-over-year. In addition to the lower ticket prices, customers are spending less once they board the company's ships. In the 1st quarter, net onboard and other yields were down 5.8% in local currency. Onboard yields for spa and bar expenditures were actually up year-over-year, but yields were down for casino, shore excursions, shops and photo. Customers are clearly curtailing their expenditures as much as possible while still making commitments to their annual vacations. In the current environment, however, we believe the company's strategy to cut prices to be appropriate. Unlike the hotel business, where we prefer to see companies maintain room rates as much as possible during economic downturns, the cruise companies have significant incentive to fill their ships given the fixed nature of many expenses.

tell me about it.... Steve it is going to be so cruisecrazieistic!!..
