I’m C’mon On ‘Board ...Now What?

Yahoo! You made the hardest decision to c’mon aboard with us...as our invitation stated, you now have to make the decision to pick a stateroom. But before we go there. Let’s think about a few things...

• Do you plan to hang out in your room or are you planning to be at the pool, in the bar, at the spa, in activities most of the day and so all you want to do is change your  clothes and sleep in your room?

• Are you a people person? Socializer? Or do you need some solo time away from the group?

• Do you enjoy fresh air and like to sit out and read or relax outdoors frequently?

• Do you tend to get motion sickness?

• Are you claustrophobic? Not thrilled about small, enclosed spaces? 

• Do you like it to be quiet or do you not mind some hustling activities? 

• Do you have requirements for wanting a tub and not just a shower for 2 weeks?

• Do you want to be near our group to interact and socialize or would you rather have privacy and your own space?

• Do you have a request to be near your friend or host? Or want to simply be near an elevator? Or certain location of the ship, like towards the spa or main pool? Internet cafe? Or Skywalker Bar? 

These questions were presented to you so that you can think about your cruising lifestyle for the 15 days aboard the Ruby Princess. If you know what you enjoy then this will help our travel agent Alex know how to assist you in picking just the right room.

Now back to the staterooms...below are links on the Princess Cruise website that

can introduce you to the various stateroom options. However, it boils down to these generalized descriptions...

Mini-Suite 

Inside Stateroom: no window, inside corridor location

Ocean View Stateroom: window or porthole with a view to the outside

Balcony Stateroom: includes a verandah/lanai that allows you to step outside without going to a public deck. Has a shower only.

Mini-Suite Stateroom: a larger cabin & balcony with a separate seating area and full tub & shower. 

Suites & Family Suites; limited availability. Contact Alex.    

Being with a group such as ours can be a lot of fun or overwhelming depending on how much interaction you want. Decide if you would prefer to be close to the group or friends you choose. The convenience to walk down a few door to visit with a friend or lean over your balcony to capture a photo opt of yourself with your neighbor can be a lot of fun. Or you can request for a bit of distance just to have some privacy. The choice is absolutely yours. Just be sure you talk to Alex in your decision when you book... this includes notifying your interest to be near a particular friend and travel buddy too. And yes Alex has Roger and Diana’s stateroom so absolutely request to be by us!

Check out the video and information on the stateroom for the Princess Cruise Line ships. These are general descriptions and each ship has its unique style and character. But may lend  some additional information to help assist your decision before you talk to Alex. Just click on the blue highlighted statement below to explore. Now grab your credit card and place that deposit and you are on your way...let me be the first to welcome you aboard!

Where are the cruise prices?

Why are you not listing the cruise prices for your 25th anniversary cruise? Because cruise prices are constantly and regularly changing till we just about embark onto or the ship fills up! Not to mention prices can vary depending on what kind of stateroom you pick,  to what part of the ship you would like to be located at. Whether you are first time cruiser with Princess Cruises or a returnee. Are you a military retiree? Yes, our travel agent can assist you with possible special benefits...and this is why contacting Alex is your best option. 

New to cruising? What are you talking about Diana? Well in a quick response, you can pick a stateroom such as an interior room with no windows to a mini-suite which has a full tub/shower bathroom and balcony. Then pending which deck or even which part of the ship you choose, can make a price difference. Generally a stateroom located in the middle of the ship is more stable, centrally located and thus cost most. Whereas the front (bow) or the stern (rear) of the ship can be known to be the cheapest, but again availability can make a difference so contact our travel agent.

Alex, our travel agent has all the details and can assist. The again, some of you just have to know... so here you go as of September 29, 2014 the prices are quoted as noted below. AND remember the prices can change until you book to hold your stateroom with a deposit. So what are you waiting for? 

Stateroom Type	Interior	Oceanview	Balcony	Mini-Suite
Departure: Saturday October 3, 2015 Round Trip Los Angeles - Ruby Princess	$1699 **	$2299 **	$2599 **	$3099 **

Still Can't Decide? --- Message from Diana & Roger

Ready to "Join Us" on the Lido Deck?

Still undecided as to whether to join us? Well Roger and Diana says “Seriously, c’mon aboard to celebrate our “Ain’t No More” Roger and Diana Davis’ 25th Anniversary “Finale” Renewal Ceremony Celebration”!! We have certainly had a wonderful array of renewals celebrations with family and friends over this past 25 years. For those who have joined us previously, “Thank You So Much”. We will for sure cherish those incredible memories. But “Last But Not Least“ we have “Come To A Crescendo”, a”Pinnacle”, a “Peak” and “Once And For All” we have decided to make a “Final Chapter” of our Every Five Year Friendship Renewal Ceremony with our 25th Anniversary. So what this means is, if you have been coming to our five year renewals or have always meant to join us. Here’s your “LAST CHANCE”, “Last Call”, “Last Act”, “Final Scene” “Culmination” ,“Climaxing” with a “Close” to join us for our 25th year Anniversary Renewal Celebration. A 15 day Hawaiian Island Cruise on the Ruby Princess, embarking on Saturday, October 3, 2015 roundtrip from the Port of Los Angeles. Did we mention that this will be our “FINAL”, “No More”, “This is the End” we are Finishing” our renewal ceremony “Epilogue”? As we were making our plans and decisions for our 25th anniversary we came “To Sum Up” that our “Cease”, “Exist” ,“No Mas” renewal celebration had to include two of our favorites, Hawaii and Cruising.

Whoa there Diana!! Given the plethora of words and phrases you have used for “FINAL”, the readers just might conclude the WE are throwing in the towel on our marriage...NOT!!  On the contrary folks...after all these renewals, Diana has concluded that despite the opportunity to say no, she actually enjoys being with Roger...go figure..so it is no longer necessary to renew the marriage vows yet another time. This of course does not mean that we will no longer enjoy good times with you all, so relax and don’t get rid of your social calendar yet...we will still be around, like it or not!

“Finally”, our 25th Anniversary Renewal Cruise is slated for Fall 2015, October 3 to October 18, 2015. If you have any questions, please contact our friend and travel agent, Alex Kuncio at Innovative Travel Planners, 949-756-3223 or Bookit1@earthlink.net. We have held a group of staterooms ready for your participation. This maybe be “THE END” for our renewal However, if you choose to deposit and sign up for our 25th anniversary cruise... well, if you know Roger and Diana, the fun has only just begun! See you on board! All you have to do is make the call to Alex...it's truly that simple!

"Ho'olu komo la kaua"... Please Join Us !!!

Ho’olu komo la kaua ... Roger and I would like to invite you to c’mon aboard and join us for our final anniversary renewal celebration on the Ruby Princess  cruise. Yes, we are closing our every 5 year renewal celebrations with this upcoming October 2015  - 15 day Hawaiian Islands Cruise, round trip from the Port of Los Angeles.

Some of you may recall that Roger and I got married on the Mahana Na’ia catamaran back on October 20, 1990 off the isle of Molokini, Maui Hawaii. SInce then we have journeyed through our time together sharing many memorable moments with our family and friends. As a result of embracing our love for fun and laughter, Roger and I decided that we needed to keep our times together going so every five years we have been celebrating with an anniversary renewal. Hey, it’s our anniversary with our family and friends who can join us and yes we use this as an excuse to get us together..its worked for almost 25 years (oh for those wondering, we are concluding our renewal celebrations not our marriage or fun - don’t need rumors to start, do we!) But alas we have decided to finalize this chapter. So to elaborate a bit and to go down memory lane, don’t be surprise if this information is important to know on the cruise or perhaps a test to see if you are checking in on our blog, hmmm... anyway, let me take this opportunity to share with you some of our 5 year anniversary renewals.
