Thanks John.

Although we would prefer an Aft cabin (stern) we won't be here on April 23 to vote. We'll be away from April 20 - April 27. So long as we get a fabulous itinerary of the Southern Caribbean we won't mind getting a regular balcony - maybe one on a bump out, that gives more space.... :thumbup:

I think you should still vote on the 27th-28th on your preference of which itineraries we have pricing on at that time. (Should be two, Noordam and Constellation, if we can get pricing on Connie that week.)

By the way, those prices on the Noordam are complete, including port charges, taxes, and fuel surcharge. No surprises.

I would like o see what Celebrity has to offer before I booked anything with HAL, although I'm looking for a mid ship cabin on whatever cruise we take so early booking is not as much of an issue for me as it is for those who want an AFT.

I can't imagine that Princess will wait too much longer to release their dates and itineraries but I wouldn't wait too much past the end of April to book anything.

oh definitely on that Celebrity thingy... ..... i just wanted to get people looking at the finalists as we get them so when the final poll goes up they can vote with confidence because they have had time to review all the options...

Now as we discuss the HAL Itinerary itself.. it does accomplish the southern deep carribean thingy... with Barbados.. and I don't know anyone that doesnt like St Maarteen.. we personally have not visited Fort-De-France, Martinique so that will be a new port for us.,....as far as pricing.... well it is what it is... I leave that to the individual to decide if it has value....the $600 deposit is a bit more than I am used to..but for us it is no major problem as I see it.... definately not a deal breaker .... i do like the 75 OBC..

Although HAL is never our first choice this Itinerary would work for us if it won...

What do you think??
