1434.7	We picked a cruise for 1999-2000 turnover	JUMP4::JOY	Perception is reality	`Wed Apr 23 1997 22:32`	22
	Well, we've decided to do a cruise for this "once in a millenium" event. Most cruise lines are taking deposits now to put you on a list of people who will be offered the opportunity to take the cruise line's millenium cruise. We have put a deposit down for Celebrity Cruises so far, and may also put money down on one other line. The way it works is this: Sometime in 1998 the cruise line will decide on the dates, ports of call and price for their millenium cruises. Thoe on the deposit list will be offered the choices in order and given somewhere between 7 & 14 days to decide yes or no. If you decide no, you get your money back in full. If you decide yes, you are committed and can only get a refund if you buy cancellation insurance. We felt is was worth the $500 investment to assure us of something to do on New Year's Eve, 1999. We wanted to go on one of the sailing cruise ships, such as Windstar or Club Med, but they seem to be either fully chartered or else booked totally already. So, we're back to a normal ship. You'd be surprised, but many hotells, resorts, cruises, etc. are ALREADY fully booked for Dec. 31, 1999. So, if anyone out there is thinking of doing something special, I urge you to book it quick!

1434.9	A really special cruise for us!	PATS::NETCAD::DREYER	I need a vacation!!	`Mon Apr 28 1997 12:54`	8
	We have also booked a cruise to include the date 12/31/99, on a Royal Caribbean megaship going somewhere warm. We are on a list, but the itineraries and ships are not set yet. This weekend we also decided that we will be getting married on that cruise... on 1/1/2000. now I'm really excited!!!! Laura

	The first day (February 18th 1996) that Royal Caribbean Cruise Line accepted deposits on the Millennium Cruise my immeditate family (husband and two married daughters their husbands) and some close friends placed deposits on 19 cabins sailking to the Southern Caribbean. I happen to call the travel agency Monday afternoon regarding an other trip and was told that RCCL has just about sold out on all of thier Millennium Cruises. The Travel Agent memtioned that due to the high level of deposits on these cruises that she expected that infomation will be out long before the orignal expected time of July 1998.
1434.11	Time to book if you haven't already!	PATS::NETCAD::DREYER	I need a vacation!!	`Thu May 01 1997 09:47`	11
	Great...I can't wait to hear where we'll be going....of course I'll have to!! Almost all of the nicer hotels in Boston and New York are totally booked for that date already. There is one hotel, I believe the Plaza in N.Y. that is refusing reservations until Jan 1999. I've also heard that Disney World Accomodations are all booked up, including a resort that is not even built yet. That's going to be one wild night all over the earth! Laura
