cruises in 2012

JoeyandDavid · January 18, 2009

They are that long if you plan on leaving from the west coast. Hadn't thought about that. We were thinking of flying to Hawaii then board the ship. It might be cheaper to board in Calif and cruise to Hawaii. Will have to do alot checking for both. You look and I will too. 2012 would be best for us but 2011 if it is later in the year.

i like the sound of that.. leads to a possibility of a west coast crazie get together..

West coast crazie get together sounds ideal to me.

Andrea I did a little checking and the cruise lines that leave from CA are only in April or Sept. Some go round trip and others only go one way. I may have missed one....but will keep looking.

NCL is the only cruise line with a ship there year round. My dad and stepmom went on it a few ago and had a great time. They said the crew is all american and very friendly.

Just something to think about. I think we would have a great time cruising together.

Falina - Carnival does a repo cruise out of Vancouver to Hawaii.

I did see that one and another line does too. Going to be expensive no matter which way we decide to go. Keeping the cost down is a must because I would like to stay an extra day to see the sites in Honolulu. I am just in the planning stages right now.

It would fun to a round trip from CA but getting the right time to go could be a factor. I know Andrea said they would like to do one only if they could keep the girls from missing to much school. Summer time would be best for them except most of the lines don't go to Hawaii during that time.

Anyway thanks for the tip. Appreciate it.

I say nay! How about you? :biggrin:

Thanks for the vote of confidents but I am not good at arranging for large groups. Wouldn't know the first thing about a group cruise.

Okay here is the deal. I will look into this and see what I can come up with. Not promising anything. Here is a question do we want to do a round trip from CA or do we want to board the ship in Hawaii? Also when is a good time to go?

Joey I am going to need your help on this good buddy.
