The Brown Café Group cruise is setting sail April 18Th, 2010. The way I got involved with the cruise is simple. Many people had been discussing a cruise, and I thought, why not see how many people are really interested. Threads were started and people posted their interest, lack of interest and everything in between.Upon reading that so many were interested, I decided to contact my friend, Amy, who just happens to be an awesome travel agent. I told her about the café and that many were interested in a cruise. She looked into cruises, based on the many criteria I submitted, after conferring with those interested. After much searching, she found the cruise that we are currently booking.Having never been on a cruise, I'm satisfied with the price and itinerary. That being said, I have been PM'ed by someone, who has cruised before, and said they were concerned that not so many people were going, not aware that people were already calling and booking with Amy, and that maybe it would be better if they booked the cruise on their own, as they had cruised before and had found the same cruise for the same rate.I replied that 8 people had already booked with Amy, and that I was confident that we'd get a bunch more people to go. I forgot to mention that we also spoke about any "free" cabins that may be included. One "free" cabin per 8 cabins booked on this cruise. I said that I was thinking about taking the free cabin, as people mentioned I should, because of the work I'm putting into our trip, though I feel a bit weird about this. Any other "free" cabins would be split among all those traveling, further educing the price or given to someone else, maybe by poll/vote or what we as a group decide. This person was taken aback a bit, when I told them that they should feel free to book the cruise as they saw best.I didn't see anything wrong with what I said, but I think I was misunderstood. I would love for everyone to book the cruise through Amy. I'd like us to get all the perks of a group cruise. Like I said, I've never been on a cruise, and am only working with what little knowledge I have in this area. That being said, the cruise bookings, as a group are going full steam ahead. If anyone wants to go on the cruise, but book it their own way, please, feel free to do so. If it will save you money, or you're just into doing it your way, please, by all means, do this. I hope this information has been helpful.
