Not yet. Once we return from this one, a couple of us will likely start thinking about the next one, possibly for 2007 or early 2008. Thus far, the planning has started 11-15 months ahead of a cruise, with formal announcement about 10-12 months ahead of a cruise. As in the past, we'll eventually look to TUGgers for help and suggestions for timing, destinations, cruise lines, etc.

Hi all,

Subject: Group space should be pulled tomorrow....

I have 6 Balcony cabins, and lots of inside and oceanview remaining.
You need to contact me tomorrow if you need a cabin as I can not
guarantee pricing after tomorrow.

One last shot to book at the discounted group rate...

Hello fellow and potential Cruising TUGgers,

Our departure date of July 23 is almost here!

Although we thought NCL was going to take back the surplus cabins a few weeks ago, they have not. Sandy was notified that they will pull them back into general inventory next Tuesday, May 9.

Here's what we still have left, along with the group price and today's price from the NCL web site. All prices are per person, based on double occupancy.

Cabin Type
Balcony BB(6 left)
Our Price: $1767.25
NCL Price: $2334

Balcony BC (1 left)
Our Price: $1671.25
NCL Price: None available :wall:

Oceanview D (1 left)
Our Price: $1391.40
NCL Price: None available :wall:

Oceanview F (9 left)
Our Price: $1323.85
NCL Price $1724

Inside K (8 left)
Our Price: $1063.30
NCL Price: $1274

In addition to the discounted prices, we will have a private cocktail party for the whole group (drinks and snacks included), one free copy of the group photograph per cabin and one other perk that we're still in the process of selecting. None of those would be included with an individividual booking.

If you are interested, please contact Sandy Lovell by the end of the day on Monday. Email Sandy at: sandncts@comcast.net or phone her at 214-505-9654.

We also have a Yahoo web site up and running. There will be more comprehensive information posted on the Yahoo web site and that will be where all future updates are posted. If you are already a member of this Yahoo group you will receive a notice each time information is posted. If you're not a member yet and want to receive all of the information about the cruise, you can join by following the instructions on this link:

After 40+ years of T/S ownership, I am no longer "an owner"
This looks like a fantastic trip . . . and at a great price!! Congrats to the Tuggers who made this possible. I look forward to the possibility of doing something like this with the group sometime in the future.

I hope you all have a fantastic time!!!

I answered some of shaggy's questions about Seattle on timeshareforums. I live in the city and am wondering if any of you are planning dinner in Seattle the night before the cruise? I am not on this cruise but would love to meet some of you.

Marilyn, I looked at the Yahoo Group if something has been decided where the dinner will be but I don't think that it has been decided yet. I know that all TUGgers are welcome to join the dinner party as someone else is coming too who is not going on the cruise. It would be fun to meet as many TUGgers as possible. :D

Can somebody in the know post here where and when the dinner will be so more TUGgers may want to join too, who live near Seattle?

My DH found this web site today to find out about what tours to take. Can anyone recommend a tour what is the best, in your opinion? It all looks nice to us. :)

Hi Marilyn,

We have about 40-45 folks who are going on the TUG cruise signed up for dinner the night before (so far). We will be posting the location and time closer to the date. Hope to see you there!

Seattle TUGgers: Please join us for dinner on 7/22!

This is an open invitation to Seattle-area TUGgers to join the cruisers for dinner on Saturday, evening, July 22.

We will dine at The Cheesecake Factory, 700 Pike Street, at 7:00 p.m. The restaurant is a little over a block from the Hyatt, where a large group of TUGgers will be staying.

Look here for a sample menu - www.thecheesecakefactory.com/

When you arrive at the restaurant, state that you are with the "TUG Cruise" group. If all goes well, you will be seated within five to ten minutes of your arrival.

We will be dining at individual tables throughout the restaurant, mostly tables for 10, with possibly some smaller tables. Thus, if you want to sit with others that you know, please arrive with them or make arrangements with them to meet in the restaurant entrance area.

The restaurant won't have a formal dedicated TUG area, but, based on our experience with this formula in New Orleans for TUGgers Cruise #1, we believe this will work well.

If you plan to attend, please click on my user name to the left of this post to send me an e-mail or private message confirming who will attend. It's important to get a count so we know how many tables we will need.

We currently have 52 confirmed dinner attendees.

For those going on the cruise: If you plan to attend the dinner and haven't let me know yet, please send me an e-mail or private message and tell me who will be attending from your group. There is no need to respond if you can't join us.

We looked at the web cam a few minutes ago and it is RAINING and very dark. :( No heat wave in Alaska so that is good to know. ;) It's been bad at home with the higher humidity than normal.

Let's hope the sun will come out next week. :)

Forecast for the cities for the cruise (from Weather.com):

Seattle (Sat-Sun) - Sunny and about 90 (high for the day)
Juneau (Tue) - Showers (much different than a forecast of "rain") and 60
Skagway (Wed) - Showers and 60
Ketchikan (Fri) - "Few" showers and 62
Victoria (Sat) - Sunny and 75

Doesn't sound bad at all. A typical summer Alaska coastline forecast.

I looked at the web cam again and it stopped raining but it isn't sunny either. Every time we look at the weather, the forecast has changed. Not much we can do anyway but make the best of it. We are in good company. :)
