Sea Socks ‘08 is Setting Sail…

Patricia February 20th, 2008

soonish.

Well, I don’t know how else to tell you this, but I am no longer taking new bookings for Sea Socks ‘08.  So, if you were waiting until the very last minute, it has past.  I’m sorry.

However, I’m pleased to tell you that there will be a Sea Socks ‘09 — no the details aren’t ready yet (who do you think I am ‘Wonderwoman’?) but booking will open up for those who are not on Sea Socks ‘08 on the 22nd of May.

If you are on Sea Socks ‘08, you will have an opportunity to book on board.  Enough talk about Sea Socks ‘09, we must begin to focus on our joys and excitement for Sea Socks ‘08.

I have begun to receive the door prizes here in prep for shipping to the ship.  Yes, they are amazing!!  Yes, you will love them.  Yes, Michael is trying to hold me back from buying from our generous sponsors.

Off to go buy goody bags!!!

    So, tell us! How many of us will there be on the cruise?

    Cindi: There are a total of 151 of us. Yes and wow.

    WOW! With that many knitters, maybe I can convince my mom to learn how. Are you going to post a list of suggested items to pack (besides the requisite knitting stuff)? It might be helpful for first time cruisers and a good refresher for the rest of us. Thanks Patricia!

    Dear Patricia:

    Three questions:

    1. My husband and I want to go into Victoria, but not to join the excursion.
    How do we get from the ship into port, and back again? Cost?

    2. We want to get trip insurance - I noted that on the packet - but I’m not
    sure it happened. Please advise.

    3. We are not interested in dressing up. Will we still be welcome at dinner in
    the main dining room with the rest of the group (we’re traveling with four
    cabins-worth of relatives)?

    Thanks. We’re looking forward to a wonderful trip. As first-time cruisers, we’ll
    appreciate any tips you post on your blog regarding packing, etc.

    We expect that we’ll know the details on the materials list in time to include it with your final packet of cruise documents. Those documents will probably be
    in our hands in the next few weeks and making their way to you very soon afterwards.

    As for a recommended list of things to pack - we expect to do a Seasocks specific podcast either the first or second week of April and we’ll talk about
    our suggestions for items to pack.

    Deborah:
    For question 1- The ship ties up just outside of the tourist area of Victoria. You can easily walk from the cruise ship pier into Victoria, it’s about a 10
    minute walk through a quiet residential area. There will probably be quite a few taxis available at the pier as well.

    For question 2- Call us!

    For question 3- It’s a solid maybe. If you come to the dining room in jeans or shorts and t-shirts on the formal nights you will probably be turned away at the door.
    However, if you both come down in slacks and button down shirts (no sneakers) it probably won’t be a problem.
