    Thumbs up StripperFest 2 - Who wants to go?

    Quote Originally Posted by Bridgette

    Cruise prices: All are based on 2 people in a room. Different cruise dates are for same cruise, different weekends. Departs from Miami on Friday afternoon and returns Monday morning. Stops in Nassau, Bahamas. Prices are all inclusive, except travel to Miami.

    Feb 4-7 sailing, $289 + $33.79 (taxes) = $322.79 per person
    Jan 28-31 sailing, $259 + $33.79 (taxes) = $292.79 per person

    Deposit of $200 per person must be paid at time of final booking (by Nov 8 for Jan28 sailing; by Nov 12 for Feb4 sailing), full amount must be paid 60 days in advance (by Dec 6 for Feb4 sailing; by Nov 29 for Jan28 sailing).

    For the group booking, we get 2 amenity points for the entire group which we can use in several different ways, which we would choose at time of final booking. These can be:
    2 free room upgrades for entire group
    $25 credit per room to be used toward drinks, shore excursions, etc
    bottle of wine to every room plus invitation to cocktail party onboard

    In order to ensure a block of rooms, I put a 24hr hold on 16 rooms (guesstimation) for BOTH sailing dates, no obligation. I have to call back tomorrow to choose the date, and will have to pay the deposits by the appropriate date (Nov 8 or 12) in order to finalize booking. If we wind up needing fewer rooms we only pay for what we need. If we need more, the extra rooms will be subject to whatever prices are in effect at time of booking.

    To get the group deal all rooms must be booked and paid at once, no separate bookings. This means if we need 10 rooms (20 people), I'll have to pay a $4000 ($200 x 20 people) deposit up front to book them, and pay the remainder by the due date all at once to finalize. Obviously I won't be interested in fronting that kind of money myself, so I'll have to collect deposits from anyone who's serious about going before I book and pay. Anyone who is skeptical about this can ask those who went to the previous StripperFest how I handled the sailboat booking, collected deposits up front and didn't screw anyone over.


    So now I ask you, who wants to go? Which date - Jan28 or Feb4? Are you serious and can you pay a $200 per person deposit by the appropriate deadline?

    There is currently no obligation and if this deposit requirement makes it impossible to get enough people together we can scrap the cruise idea and figure something else out. Of course I think the cruise is the BEST idea
    I can collect deposits via credit card with my paypal account and use the visa debit card associated with that account to pay the cruiseline, which is what I did for the sailboat booking on StripperFest 1.

    Who's up for it?

    Yes! Commando and I will be there! We can go either date (but we prefer the Feb date).

    On another note, I noticed not too many responded that they would be able to be there. Is this a strictly SW event, or should I post something in the locker room at my club to try to get some more girls to go?

    There seems to be good interest in this, but I'm thinking with elections going on now, alot of people are glued to the tube tonight. I'll wait til tomorrow to check again.

    As far as I'm concerned other strippers are welcome, I don't see any reason why we couldn't invite other girls we work with, but try to keep it limited to those who know better than to bring drugs on the ship! We don't want any hassles...

    is anyone familiar with the area? flights into hollywood/ Ft. Lauderdale are about $200 cheaper, but I don't know how far exactly it is and what are the transportation alternatives to the seaport in Miami. is there a commuter train? or taxi only?

    I'll just ask some of my friends at work if they're interested, you're right, we don't want psycho junkies showing up. (although I think they spend most of their money on drugs anyway)

    For flights, keep in mind the ship sailing times. Departure on Friday is 4pm, if memory serves from last time I cruised, we needed to be at seaport at like noon. Either get an early am flight or fly in the day before and get a hotel room nearby (or bunk in with AinNY ) Monday return is 8am, but that's the time the ship docks, it takes a couple hours or so to actually get off the boat (again if memory serves) so it would be prudent to either book an afternoon return flight from FL on Monday or again stay overnight and wait til next day.

    Check for flights, I've always found the best deals on there - then go to the website of the airline that shows the best deal and book directly, save yourself the $5-10 booking fee!

    For alternate fly-in cities, I dunno how far it is from Ft Laud to Miami, our FL members will have to help us out with that. I'm guessing though, if flights are $200 per person to go into a nearby city, it'd be worth it to do that and find ground transport to Miami.

    Ok looks like it's about 30 miles from Ft Laud to Miami. There is shuttle service from Ft Laud airport to Port of Miami. is one, listing a $75 fare for 1-2 people. Looks like that means same price for 1 or 2.

    that $75 seemed pretty high try Supershuttle, I think it'll be cheaper.

    About 25 miles from Ft. Lauderdale Airport to the Port of Miami which is like downtown Miami.

    Also the cruise lines usually will have ground transportation options available too from airport to the port, usually like 15-$20 more per person.

    Yes...anyone who needs a place to stay can hang otu my house...assuming it all goes through...no problem.

    Im not sure if I'll be going, but either way...everyone is welcome at my place...and then you can take a shuttle or whatever from my place to MIA...i will find out tomorrow the final details on my place. It should be less than 30 min from MIA.

    Thanks A!

    For anyone who can definitely go, could you post here and let us know if you're bringing a friend/SO? We need a minimum of 8 rooms/16 people to get the group deal. Need a good count.

    Also for booking on Southwest, if you book on a Wednesday they have special rates available online, which are often quite a bit cheaper than their normal discount fares. Always book with them on Wednesdays and look to the far right of the fare chart for the 'internet fare'. That's an online only deal also.

    I"m not sure I'm going on the cruise, but as I had mentioned previously, I did this a week ago and it is cheaper for a lot of people to fly into Ft. Lauderdale.

    If you can do so, do it. There are shuttles at the Ft Lauderdale airport and the pier waiting to take you for $20/person ($10 if the bus driver is unehtical, and mine was). You end up using an extra 30 minutes with this process, more if they are hell-bent on filling up the bus. I also know that the shuttle is $10/person from Miami and it's a $21 flat rate cab fare from Miami airport to the pier.

    I'm thinking about it still (I'm sounding like a maybe later guy, sorry!)

    did you guys know that Feb 6 is the Superbowl?

    There is no game on the 28th weekend.

    just food for thought since SB weekend can pretty lucrative.

    As said earlier, for $10 more per person we can sail Feb 11-14. Seems that may be a better date...?

    Where is Super Bowl this year?

    Well, it doesn't look like there are too many people who would be able to go, maybe we should try to plan something else or do a later date. We've got a lot of travelling and big expenses coming up, so it would be financially difficult for us as well.

    Well I've been looking at other cruise possibilities, later dates. There are some options for March, is that better for everyone? Would give us more time to plan and get deposits in...
