I know this has been talked about before and nixed, but I've set up a group cruise for personal friends and family and thought it'd be neat to invite bandsters as well. It's an incredible deal.

Here are the details:

December 3 - 7

Monarch of the Seas (RCCL)

Los Angeles - San Diego - Catalina - Ensenada - Los Angeles

I have 3 cabin categories available:

I (deck 8, partially obstructed view): $470.94 PER COUPLE

F2: (deck 4, ocean view): $530.94 PER COUPLE

F3: (deck 5 or 7, ocean view): $550.94 PER COUPLE

These rates INCLUDE ALL TAXES AND PORT FEES and are for BOTH PEOPLE in the cabin. In addition, you will also receive a $50 CABIN CREDIT!

I have 7 staterooms available right now (I might be able to add more). The deposit is only $200 and the final is due September 24th.

If you're interested, PM me. Don't miss out. I don't have time to take this cruise but I couldn't pass up such a steal of a deal!

Oh, GadgetLady, I wish I could!! We are taking a trip in Nov. and that is all I can do for the rest of this year. I just wanted to tell you that I think this sounds wonderful and I appreciate you letting us in on the deal. Hopefully another great deal will come up next year?? I would love to go! P.S. Do they give us Bandsters a discount on the food, since we can't pig out like all the other cruisers? :heh:

LOL! I don't have time to do this either, but I'm a major "deal hunter" and I couldn't pass this one up. Because we're in US waters for 3 out of the 4 days, I'll have my laptop and my cell and I'll be doing some work while vacationing.

I am happy to hunt for deals like this and will keep everyone updated. If there's a particular cruise you're interested in, let me know. I specialize in cruises and resort vacations.

And no, no discounts on food

Gadgetlady: Do you run a travel agency or something like that? I kind of think I remember reading that somewhere on this board. The reason I ask is that my DH and I would like to start planning our dream trip to Alaska for our 40th anniversary. We would like to go in the fall of next year or spring of 2009. Do you have any suggestions? I would rather deal with someone I "know", so if this is up your alley, please let me know.... Thanks!

I am, indeed, a travel agent. I specialize in cruises and resort vacation, so I can definitely help you. Alaska is a wonderful trip! I'll PM you with my contact info so we can connect :-)
