It just can't be the weekend of my son's play.

That's usually the weekend after Easter.

When is Easter, next year?

Next Year - Easter is on March 27th. Hope this helps you out!

Sue just said the ship is sold out. Not sure if she has any extra cabins on
hold or not.

Well, that is interesting. That week is schedualed as my last week of
vacation and I don't have anything booked for it yet. I was thinking of
changing that to September for a Bermuda cruise but havn't done
anthing. But you say it is sold out? The ship or her space? When I pull
up her web site I get a blank page for that cruise.

OK, well I appreciate the response. I also wanted something longer
than 7 days but I did want something more upscale. I guess that is not
what most people wanted. Thanks again for your response. I guess I
will make my own plans and who knows others from this group might be
on the same ship anyway.

I know people right now are really into complaining about the rules
not being met. The TA's and whatever but could we possibly discuss the
GGC bids so far?

I was thinking of possibly going this year s but in reading the bids
that are posted I am severely disappointed. NCL, Costa, Carnival and
RCL? Thats it? I don't care to go on NCL, Costa or Carnival and the
RCL trip is one with an itinerary that I would think most people have
done too many times already. I know I have. Will there be any others
or is that it?

No more, that is it.

Check the preference voting that was done a bit ago and you can see
where most bids are coming from. The preference was pretty strong for
longer than 7 days and further south.

San Juan is pretty much out of the picture because airfare is a very
big issue there, and I suspect it will become more of an issue as oil
prices keep rising.

There's also the history of what people seem to be willing to spend on
a group cruise. More upscale lines most likely would have cost more
than a TA that would bid would think people are willing to spend.

Bottom line is that TA's were not told what to bid, but they were aware
of preferences from the voting. They were free to bid anything they
wanted to.

So we got 2 new ships from 2 different cruise lines and 2 exotic
caribbean cruises, one longer west coast cruise and a 7-day caribbean.
Quite a mix I would say, and it should appeal to a broad section of
cruisers.

I'm booked too, but not with Sue's group. This ship has been sold out for
a long time.

Just a question... I was looking at the GGC2005 website (before it
was made unavailable), and noticed that the posted rules continued to
say that the TA must be a regular poster. If they have changed for
this GGC could the GGC website be updated to reflect that?

So how many times has Karen Wheelock posted on rtc?


Sue ---found no posts from Google Groups


Sue, as you know, each committee changes the RFB to their liking. We
decided the TA would not have to be an active poster in RTC to bid.
Karen has posted in the past, not very much, she is more of a lurker.
Doesn't want to get caught up in all the flame wars here.
