We want to put the deposit Friday Jan 21st 2012. These holiday cruises sellout pretty quickly so don't delay your booking and getting your deposit in. (Each participating member is booking his/her own cruise and air travel.)   Don't forget to sign up with Norwegian CruiseLine for transportation from airport to Miami Port of Call and from Miami Port of Call to airport.)

When leaving Houston it might be possible to carpool to the airport or meetup at the airport. Otherwise, meetup will be in the Lobby of the Norwegian Epic cruise ship at 3:00pm Dec.29th

I know that majority rules, but, I am just not interested in flying to Miama. Carnival and Royal Carribean both have ships leaving Galveston Port to the Carribean, although it seems that RC does not visit as many ports. But either is fine with me. I didn't see anything on Norwegian. I'll share a suite or balcony and will meet on Friday. What time? I like the idea of Panera Bread. The closest one to me is on Hwy 6 and 59. I'm in the Missouri City/Sugarland area.

P.S. I'm new to cruising so I don't know the rules that are enforced on cruise ships as far as children are concerned. I'll be taking my first cruise during the week of my birthday in May this year. And looking forward to an Alaskan cruise in 2013.

If you guys find something I overlook, please let me know.

Posted January 22 at 8:01 AM

No you are right. The Airlines only go a certain amount of days out so we will have to wait until they publish the fares. I forgot about that.

WE need to Meet Up, I am a Travel Agent and a traveler, if we can get
8 cabins or 16 people, this becomes a Group trip with Group perks and discounts. For those of you who have booked the cruise, you will not be able to get group perks!
There are many different ways to book these trips.
I will be posting more packages to choose from.

Time for a Meet Up..any ideas..I will make a suggestion......
