WANTED! Fun Loving People for Cruise to Hawaii

I've finally found a cruise that will do a round trip from Los Angeles to Hawaii and back! And I know it's early, but we'd like to try to get at least a few people to go before we book it. At this point we'll wait until closer to June/July before actually booking it unless Carnival offers a sale. So right now we're trying to find out who might like to come along.

Why cruise? Why not just fly?
Have you looked at the cost and the logistics of getting to and/or from Hawaii! (minimum 12 hr flight) Personally, I'd rather spend 5 days at sea - where there's a bed, food and entertainment, then spend 12+ hours on an airplane and airport! The cost...around $900 return. Plus then you've got to pay for your accomodations and food. The cruise throws in some entertainment to keep you occupied too. Plus flying from island to island, it appears you'd lose a day just moving to the next island.

But, if you've never cruised before, this cruise may not be for you. There's 5 days at sea, 5 days on the islands and another 5 days at sea.

We're looking for some people who'd like to join us. The last time we did this cruise with 6 couples, and that helped pass the time on the 5 days at sea. We didn't always hang out with each other, but we often bumped into each other and joined in on some of the ships competitions, played cards, played mini golf, or some of us did the rock wall.

Carnival is currently offering a cruise from Los Angeles to Hawaii and back on the Carnival Spirit. There's 2 cost structures that are applicable until 5 months before the cruise date.

Option 1. Early Saver:

1. Cost: 3162 with taxes for 2 people


2. This price will apply if you book more than 5 months in advance (before July 2). This is the current list price for Early saver, it could vary depending on when we book it.


3. Rooms are midship on the 4th level


4. The deposit is NON-REFUNDABLE - so you have to be sure if you're going to book this way


5. There's a price guarantee - if the price drops, we fill out some paperwork and get a refund for the difference!

Option 2. Fun Select:

1. 3222 with taxes for 2 people - gratuities and alcohol not included.


2. This is the current price and may vary up until you book it.


3. Rooms are on the lowest level (2) cost to upgrade to the 4th is 4.40 per person per day. ( add 132 to get you to the 4th level.) - you can go higher but the cost per person will be higher as well.


4. The deposit IS refundable up to 76 days before the cruise.


5. No price guarantee on this one.

These prices are for inside cabins. There's also ocean view and balconies, but, again the prices are higher.
