Alas, I cannot afford it (or any cruise in the near future - I need a car and a whole load of other things - but I am contemplating ging down south to see her in Dun Laoghire. Maybe some of y'all can smuggle me onboard. Tehehe.

KruzinKat & Renegade4 will be on Norway, on our favorite such-a-deal deck (Fjord) for that last TransAtlantic. It will be our third cruise, second TransAtlantic - wish we'd discovered her YEARS ago! We're about to lose a dear friend to the Orient - the best ship for cruising ballroom dancers (IOHO). (I know she'll still be cruising - but the Orient is just too far away from Massachusetts to be feasible for us right now.) But - 39 weeks from today, we'll be on board for her Farewell Tour!

I am taking the Norway Carribean from March 31 to April 7. TA is not in the cards
for me

I will be recognized by a 'Greek Line' pin, or red 'Premier Cruises' T-shirt or a few 'Rotterdam' shirts

Any one going?

Paddy, I'm ashamed at you

You will never have the money in life to do everything (unless you become another Bill Gates).

You must learn to get your priorities in order. What good is a car? You can't travel across the oceans in a car? You don't need 'a whole load of other things' either, life is about experiences not material possessions!

You've got almost a year to save up your SS Norway fare! You could give up drinking Guinness for a start.

I bet that there will be some good deals in the 'steerage' section nearer to the departure date?

(I will be on board - assuming I can pay the balance?)

It appears that this crossing may not be selling as well as we all expected. We just received our NCL Latitudes member brochure yesterday and the Norway's final transatlantic is now listed as a Latitudes member cruise.

The offer is a 2 category upgrade, a $200.00 on board credit and all of the other Latitudes member perks.

It seems to me that this offer would not have been made if early booking sales are meeting the cruise line's expectations.

We have our TA investigating our rebooking options to take advantage of this offer. We'll still be on board, but maybe not at the current price or in the currently booked cabin (oh, butler!! ).

I would love to do the NORWAY; I think I could come up w/the $1800, or at least be a third or fourth share (hint hint); but right now I am trying to decide on a Med cruise; the MELODY, CROWN ODYSSEY, or a 5-day ORIANA cruise. Those have prices around the same or lower than NORWAY's. The NORWAY is doing Canada, England and France, right? I want to do the Med...I wish she were going to the Med.
