343.0. "FANTASY-MARCH 2ND CRUISE BOUND" by USCTR1::PGREEN () Wed Jan 08 1992 16:51

    After reading all of the positive notes on Fantasy.  I decided
    to try it out.  My husband and I are leaving on March 2nd
    though March 6th.  We have Level 6 rooms with air fair 
    from Boston for $606 per person plus $46 for port taxes.
    
    Is there anyone else that will be on this boat from DEC?
    Do you think we got a good deal on the price?  We will let you know
    how it turns out.
    
    Bon Voyage,
    
    I can't wait!!!!!!!!!!!

    I was really interested to see your note.  I was asked on Saturday by a
    friend if I would like to accompany him on an all expence paid FANTASY
    CRUISE that leaves Feb 3rd. TWO WEEKS from today......  I've never been
    on a cruise before, and am soooooooooo excited!!!!!!!  I have so many 
    questions, I don't know quite where to begin.  (I'm still sorting
    through the "I can't believe this is happening to me!")
    
    I'm curious to know if your leaving out of Logan and if so what time 
    does your flight leave.  My friend won't have the tickets until the 
    end of this week, and I'd like to get going on plans to get into the
    airport.
    
    I'd appreciate any info.
    
    Thanks, and Happy sailing!

    You have a really nice friend!  Does he have any brothers?
    
    
343.3second choice isn't so bad.......MCIS1::HATFIELDFri Jan 24 1992 17:4413
    re:-2
    
    Yes he has a married brother.  I was actually second choice to go on
    this cruise - a mutual friend was supposed to go, but backed out just
    last Saturday because he's not comfortable leaving the business he just
    took over 6 months ago.  When this whole cruise idea came up, and I was
    told I was second choice - I made a comment that "I don't come in
    second to anyone!!"  You can bet that thought flew right out of my
    head when I was asked to go for real!!!!!!
    
    10 DAYS AND COUNTING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    The $606 pp includes the plane, cruise, meals, room, entertainment
    for 5 days and four nights on the biggest fanciest cruise ship
    around.
    
    I am getting so excited.  I only have 31 days before we leave.

    What is the discount?   Is it a coupon, or do you mean who to call
    to get the same price you got.
    
    What is the cruise line?

343.9Phone numberUSCTR1::PGREENMon Feb 03 1992 18:4417
    I got a direct number to a cruise lines in Florida from another noter.
    The name of the Company is: South Florida Cruises, Inc.
    3561 NW 53rd Court
    Ft. Lauderdale, FL  33309
    
    Ask for Jeffrey Burnstein, Sales Coordinator  1-800-927-SHIP
    We honestly saved about $500 pp by going directly to them instead
    of a travel agency around here.  I really shopped around cause we
    had a tight budget.
    
    If you would be kind enough to give my name as a reference they
    will give me a $25.00 discount for each reference up to two.  Every
    penny counts in these times.  I can't give you a recommendation
    on how the cruise lines is cause I don't leave until the first week of 
    March.  But the boat is called Fantasy.

343.11WILL SUBMIT TRIP REPORTUSCTR1::PGREENTue Feb 25 1992 16:053

343.12QUICK TRIP REPORT "FANTASY"USCTR1::PGREENTue Mar 24 1992 18:2825
    QUICKIE TRIP REPORT
    
    I have a few extra minutes and thought I would put in a trip report
    from the first week of March.
    
    Southwest Florida Cruises is definitely on the up and up.  They
    booked us on direct flights to Miami non-stop, with transportation
    to the Ship by bus included, and our room.
    
    The ship was definitely named correctly "FANTASY" is the best
    way to describe it.  Room was even pretty good in size for
    a ship.  Food was excellent.  Service was great.  They had
    shows, dancing, gambling, side tourist trips.
    
    The weather was great 86 and sunny every day and the
    seas were also calm.  I did not run into anyone that was
    sea sick.
    
    I definitely recommend this vacation for people who can't go
    for a long vacation.  If you have any questions, please
    contact me anytime.
    
    Regards,
    
    Pam

Not any more.  See note 508.  (I assume you meant South Florida Cruises, as
mentioned in .9 of this string.)
