Sea Socks ‘07 was so easy to plan, I never would have expected what just happened.  Never, it never crossed my mind as a possiblity.

Princess Cruise Line has canceled the May 7th (plus a few more) sailings of the Dawn Princess.

(Deep Breaths.)  I spent much of yesterday demanding to speak to ANYONE at Princess who would tell me why they were doing this to me and my knitters.  I tried to explain to anyone who would listen that if I were them, I would not disappoint THIS group of knitters.  But alas, they did not listen.

I then imediately called a meeting of my Brain Trust (I recently, yesterday, promoted them from ‘Cruise Staff’ to ‘Brain Trust’ — there’s no increase in pay, unless you double their zero salary, but much more prestiage).  Amy, Erin, and Chrissy to the rescue, all of them helped me pick a new cruise, which frankly, I think is even better.

Ahem, announcing the New Improved (better than 4 days) Sea Socks ‘08!!!

Now, departing Seattle on May 9th on Celebrity’s Infinity.  (Celebrity is a sister company to our friends at Royal Caribbean — and they know us now.) 

Highlights:

• 7 night cruise!
• Ports include Victoria, Ketchikan, Juneau.  There will be scenic sailing at Hubbard Glacier and through the inside passage (remember the much promised protected waters?)
• This is an amazing ship: Built in 2001 (three years younger than the Vision); Nearly twice the crew for the same number of passengers as the Vision; and at 91,000 gross tons, she’s about 10% larger than the Vision of the Seas.
• Amy, Chrissy, Erin, and a soon to be announced 4th celeb/knitter/teacher  Brenda Dayne will be on board — as well as Michael and I.
• Need more details: http://www.mycruiseplanner.us/ccs/9980

The booking enginge above is going to be taken down, until I get it up and running with the new information. 

Everyone currently booked on the Dawn will be called over the next few days to discuss the options.

I’m truly excited about this new option for our Sea Socks cruise.
