I'm still here......just working on my other cruise at the moment.

[JoeyandDavid]

Feel free to do what i sometimes do .. just rattle on and all of a sudden someone catches their breath and we all caught up.... just wait it will be thumping after the thanksgiving /Christmas/Hanukkah/Kwanzaa (Lawd i hope i didnt miss one) holidays

[JoeyandDavid]

Ok Guys I got confirmation I was waiting on.....now as to rate…how about $98.00 per night plus 13% tax and this rate includes all the extra’s!!!

With that being said .....

I would like for us to consider as an option and do here by request permisson from the group to enter into a verbal agreement that this will be our official headquarters for this cruise!!

All in favor? All opposed?

Joey--I noticed you and David live in L.A. I'm in Ontario, CA. We're almost neighbors.

Hey how about that .. we are north in the SFV.. sherman oaks area

Great job Joey - Jim & I are in favor of staying at the Clarion and you got a terrific rate for us. Thanks for all your work on this. Just one question - will this rate be good for only 1 day pre-cruise or could we possible get it for more than one day? We may want to arrive by the 6th or 7th. We will be driving from Pa. and may need more than one day to begin speaking to each other again. lol

Hi Joey... thanks for the info... will look it over. Is this price for a normal room with 2 doubles or 1 king I assume?

Yes deana it is... and Marylou .. let me verify before I answer you....

[PATJUD]

This looks very good - $98.00 plus $13.00 taxes - That's about $111.00 per night. That's extremely doable - and we are planning on two (2) nights pre-cruise. Great job Joey.

Plus it includes airport pickup - yeaaaaaaaaaa. Again - I can deal with cruise ship to the airport post-cruise.

This has my vote.

[JoeyandDavid]

Thank guys..... I like this option as well the price is outstanding...

Marylou you were checking on optional transportation to teh pier correct?

You now have a possible start point for those limos/shuttles to the pier that way we can see if our own agreement would in fact be cheaper/more convenient than going through the hotel.... bottom line can we meet or beat 10 bucks a head...
