I posted about this a couple weeks ago, but the thread has vanished. I organize a lot of group cruises and my travel agent contacted me about a great deal on Carnival. This is for a 5 night cruise on Carnival's Celebration departing Monday, September 3, 2007 and returning Saturday, September 8.

Itinerary:

Monday, Jacksonville, FL - depart 4 PM.
Tuesday: Fun Day at Sea
Wed: Key West 7 AM - 3 PM
Thur: Nassau 11 AM - 10 PM
Fri. Fun Day at Sea
Sat. Jacksonville, FL - disembark at 7 AM.

Inside Cabins are $329 per person for the lst and 2nd person in cabin. $270 each for the 3rd and 4th person the sharing cabin.

Oceanview cabins are $379 per person for the lst and 2nd person; $290 each for the 3rd and 4th persons sharing the cabin.

Carnival has some cabins that will hold 5 - if needed.

These prices include all taxes and fees, so it's a really good deal for a 5 night cruise.

Oh--and this also includes a private party just for our group and any special programs we would like to set up. This could be things like a movie night, a baby games party or pretty much anything we can come up with. I've done several celebrity events with them and they've always been really terrific to work with.

If anyone wants to do this we would need a $25 per person deposit by July 26, 2006 with a full deposit of $200 by May of next year. We can set up a payment plan to make it really easy. The final payment will be due July 1, 2007. Anyone can cancel up to that time and get all their money back if they should need to. Penalties for cancellations don't start until July 3, 2007.

If anyone is interested in doing this, please send me a pm or email me at kizibits6@bellsouth.net.

count us in. I sent you an e-mail!!!

Ok, I'm a little dense... Is the $329/person also per night? So, for me and my wife, it would by $329 X 2 people X 5 nights?

[heikewould]

That's it per person for the whole thing!!!!!!!

[kimber413]

Sounds like a great deal to me. I'll talk to DH about it tonight.

[calikismet]

Awesome deal, I agree. We would love to go, but DS starts kindergarten next fall (bestill my heart), and that will be right around his 1st days of school.. not sure I want to uproot him for a vacation. Maybe next time!

MikeinTexas, the price is $329 per person for the whole cruise. Keep in mind that this includes all meals (something in the neighborhood of 7 meals per day!), live shows, taxes, etc. The only things not included are alcoholic beverages and optional excursions.

And tips/ gratuties. Be sure to add those is as well. But I agree -- that truly is an awesome price!!

Sounds great, but it will be the first week of kindergarten here too. Have a great time.

Just wondering if any rooms with balconies are available and which ship it's on? And is it possible to book adjoining rooms? Thanks!

[angelkisses0102]

Still in our first weeks of kindergarten here as well...sounds like a good deal however....

As this is for next September (2007) I am assuming that this cruise is over the Labor day holiday so most people would only have to take 4 days vacation time?

[kizibits]

Yes--it is Labor Day week. I hadn't realized that myself. How nice that we only have to use 4 days vacation instead of 5!
