Back to the Cruise

OK....here is what I have so far....nothing is in stone but let me know if this appears OK...

I think the consensus has us going on a 5-day cruise to the Carribean, probably flying Southwest to Ft Lauderdale and driving to the site.

We are still pending information on Ashton's trip to New York, but I think we are talking in the direction of March 14 - 19 or so.

Mom and I would be able to pay for the cruise for everyone if we can get it around 250-300. That would leave you the cost of getting there. (Mom and I have 2 free SW trips, which would allow us to do this.)

Does that sound right?

One other thing to look at is the size of the ship. The newer and bigger the ship, the more activities on it.

Miami is closer to Ft Laud, but Port Canaveral is an easy drive, Rachel and I have done it.

Way to go everyone.

Oh by the way. Sarah you just got back from Hawaii so I do not buy the no life stuff.

This is Rachel.
First off, it is so nice of the parents to give money for this. You spoil us.
I agree with Andy in the Port Canaveral is quite a drive so Miami or Ft Lauderdal sounds best. I love the 1st one that Sarah found. It would be way cool to be in the Bahamas. I say we do it.

Have you checked to see if those dates are blacked out. Normally they black out spring break weeks and holidays

Rachel said...

I checked on things in Nassau and there are tons. Including swimming with dolphins, Mom. It's about $100, but if we are on a cheaper cruise it might be a possibility. I am thinking probably the sooner the better to get the tickets.

NCAA2PROSPORTS said...

I think it is during the black out dates.

How much does that change things?

Rachel said...

I think if we don't go this week it might never happen. . . it's been tough coming up with one week when everyone can go. Thoughts?

I think we can play it out a couple weeks. And it will either work itself out or will lead us to when it will work
