We are glad to that you are sponsoring a TOTV cruise. The price looks good. Unfortunately we are TV wanna be's. House has been for sale in Michigan for 4 months, as soon as it sells we are coming down and it would be highly likely we would sign up for the next one. We were hoping there would be some organization in TV to meet other people that like to cruise. We will be on a Mediterranean Cruise the same time as yours this year.

Happy Sailing.

Gander, we went on the Mediterranean Cruise last year. It's beyond words. Wonderful. We are from Illinois and love cruising too. Don't worry, there will be lots of cruises ahead. Hurry down! :welcome:

Beady & Village Kid, I'm so happy your going. I'm giving this to vetman as his birthday present, which is really at the end of August. So, it's a surprise. But I hope we can have a cake for him with everyone singing. Yeah!

We have been in hurry to get there since our Preview visit last September. We will be there as quick as our house sells, which is not fast enough. One of our reasons to move to TV is to get closer to the cruise ports so we do not have to fly and of course everything else TV offers. Our Mediterranean Cruise is with RCL, also, and covers Italy, Greece, Turkey and Egypt, do you have any advice?

Re: Who is going on the cruise and who is thinking about it?
 
Gander, that was one of main reasons for looking into FL too! Wanted to be near the ports to just take off. Your route on the Med. Cruise is different than ours. We left from Barcelona, Monte Carlo, Florence, Venice, and Rome, Croatia then to Corfu. We did not go to Turkey or Eygpt (though I would love to.) Only advice I would give is to remember how little our dollar is worth. Everything was so much more expensive then from the previous times we had gone. (Not by Cruise) And in Italy, don't miss the Amalfi Drive Excursion. It's breathtaking! Also, in Rome and Monte Carlo we hired a private driver and saw much much more than the excursions had to offer. Let me know if I can give you any more info. Feel free to pm me. Bon Voyage! You'll love it.

Fireboy is still trying to negotiate the time off. :dontknow: We'll be flying in from Toronto.
What airport would we need to fly into to connect with the group?

I think Orlando would be best. We could meet you at the cruise terminal. Better yet, if the timing worked out, maybe....maybe....maybe we could arrange for the bus to swing into the airport....as we go right by it. Only if the timing worked out.

How about coming to the villages and leaving with us. RCCL also may have bus service from Orlando to Port Canaveral.

Re: Who is going on the cruise and who is thinking about it?
 
Yes, RCCL does have transfers to Port Canaveral from the Orlando airport and they have a desk at the level where you pick up your luggage. We have used it twice and worked well for us. Cost is about $30-35/person each way. You would probably want to book the transfer through RCCL for them at the time. But you may want to consider coming in the day before in case of airline delays, because they do not wait.
