WHO: ME! I will be teaching 3 classes on the ship! We’ll be making a lap quilt, a mini quilt and a quilted handbag project!
WHAT: A vacation of a lifetime! 7 nights on a cruise ship! We will be on Royal Caribbean’s Freedom of the Seas ship and will visit Haiti, Jamaica, Grand Cayman and Cozumel, Mexico… and spend 3 days quilting with Crafty Gemini and quilty friends!
WHERE: We leave (and return) from Port Canaveral, FL (about 45 minutes from MCO-Orlando airport)

Oh can you not do either of the 2 weeks before that as well, pretty please. I am cruising on the freedom of the seas 4-18th october 2015 going east and west caribean and would have loved to have come to your classes.
Just noticed it is next year, even better you could squeeze it in for this year then I could see you im sure the other passengers would love it.

Pamela Tabor
Congrats Vanessa! This sounds great! Lady, you are blowing up and I am glad for you. I will be working on getting my deposit asap. I don’t want to miss this opportunity. I am retired and have a very low income but I got more than a year to get it together. I like that you can make monthly payments. Looking forward to your classes and meeting you.

Questions,
1. What sewing level should a person be at? Can they be beginners?
2.where does one leave their car for the week?
3. Can someone reserve a whole room to themselves?
Vanessa Vargas Wilson
Hi Gayle. To answer your questions I would say, 1) You can be a beginner as long as you’ve had some quilting experience and understand the basic terminology used in sewing and quilting. I would suggest you have several projects under your belt before attending. Unfortunately, because I will be the only instructor I won’t be able to spend very much one-on-one time with beginners to get them up to speed with the the basics. 2) You can leave your car parked at Port Canaveral (pricing info can be found here: http://www.portcanaveral.com/Cruise/Directions-Parking), and 3) Yes. You can reserve a whole room to yourself you would just have to pay a higher rate of twice the listed price since it’s at double occupancy. For more details on how that works I would suggest asking the travel agent since she deals directly with the cruise line. Hope that helps!

Hi
If I need a roommate is that possible? I was told that you will have to pay double the listed price for a single cabin.
Is there anyone out interested in of a roommate for a balcony or ocean view cabin.
Vanessa Vargas Wilson
Yes. Talk to the travel agent taking the bookings. She can add you to a list of other attendees who need a roommate.

So excited about this cruise!! My first ever!
Nancy Cohick
Hi I’m so excited to see this cruise happening… It looks like it will be a ton of fun. A quick question… Are kids allowed on the cruse? Naturally not during the classes so my husband would watch them? Do children cost the same price as per person price or are they free being that they are under the age of 3? Thanks????
