I believe that I know of some of the people you are talking about.
Ty was suppose to go on my Liberty Cruise last November but had to back out.
But that is when I met Mikie, Sandie (my adopted cruise daughter) as we have sailed with her twice now. And she is sailing with my wife Laura and I again in November. And then there is Kathy and Randy. George and Karen. So I believe that Ty is part of this group. And I am trying to convince Mikie into cruising with us in November for a quick 5 night.

Mikie is fun.
Even though on the Liberty we were looking for people to join in on the Sexy legs contest. And he ran away so fast that he had smoke coming off his shoes.

From 2001 to 2005 we cruised with the same group of friends on every cruise (except for two cruises in 2002 which were family), and prior to that we traveled to Las Vegas with them in 1999 and 2000. We haven't cruised with them the past two years though, and again this summer. Maybe next year we'll do a "reunion" cruise (even though we see them just about every week at home).

We made friends with 2 couples back in 2005. since then went to visit one couple the next year. But talk to both couples quite often. The other couple I just shared some dress's sent them by mail as she is going on a cruise in august. Then when she get back she is going to send me some clothes also to wear on our upcoming cruise!

I work at a hair salon, my co-workers are the ones who introduced me to cruising. Not only do we book all of our cruises together, we've been booking our other vacations together as well. As a matter of fact, we are going to the beach for a few days this Sunday.

I was on Explorer and many cruisers I did not know in person yet was on Navagator. now both ships were in port and sailing out within one hour of each other...
Joey, was on Explorer with me.. We have never met yet either.. And all his friends were on Nav.. He was trying to get on Nav, (booked solid) So we started chating on post.. I was praying for him to get to go with his friends.. on Nav... and he was going to make the best of it, if he did not get on Nav.. As it turned out, He was able to get a cabin about 2 weeks before sail date.. Leaving me on Explorer...... (which was what I had booked and wanted to do.. and I did not know any of them anyway other than posting with them) And let me tell ya, I posted on their thread lots and they posted on mine... We became very close friends... Well the day of sailing finally came and we planned to be on Helio pad and wave at each other... There was about 25 of them yelling at me .... Telling me who was who... and I was yelling back saying I was me... Everyone on Explorer could not believe what was going on... I had people ask me if I got on the wrong ship by mistake.. LOL..
When we all returned from our sailings .. Them to West. and Me to East Carib. we posted again together on both threads.. .. I booked on board for Panama Canal sailing... to get the OBC's.. and while posting on there thread, they all decided they would come to Miami and give us a sailaway party..for this sailing I had booked..
Now remember I never met any of those cruisers, and never cruised with them... And they were coming to Miami to give us a sailaway party.. And let me tell ya... THEY did..
TY, and Mama Pat flew from Motor City, Joe & Lady Sha drove to port, Gary & DEB drove to port also, ( as they lived in Florida ) Joey was able to get them all of them on ship before sailing.. So we had two days and one night having so much fun in Miami together... Laughting and really meeting each other face to face... We spent over 2 years posting and never met face to face until that sailaway party they gave us...
What great people... spending there time and money to come to Miami and meet up face to face with me and my boyfriend... And NOT even on the sailing..

Well about 5 years has passed and we had sence done many sailaway party's and even meet up's like Vegas Baby 3, Yes this is our third time meeting up in vegas.. We all did the Freedom sailing together ...
What great fun.... Life with my cruise family is great... yes over the years we have all became cruise family... We all go on differant cruises, but we also try and book a special cruise together also..
Like the Mariner sailing we have booked in May 2009, and the Genesis, THE OASIS of the seas when booking becomes open, we'll be all going together on that one...
We post together, call each other, cry over losses of family memember, cheer each other on over happy times.. Meet up on the road or seas together.... We are family... Our cruise family..
So yes... we do keep in touch...

What a great post, Larrie.

I didn't know any of this. You guys are great people

This was a hard one to answer. I have friends from 'another board' that I've cruise several times with. However, on these boards, I have friends that I WILL cruise with in a couple of months. Oh decisions, decisions. I'm just going to close my eyes and click one.

Three years ago we went on a Carnival Legend cruise out of NYC with our neighbors here in town. We met 2 other couples on the ship and cruised again with them last year with another one coming up in less than a month.

We also met a couple from Illinois on an NCL cruise 3 yrs ago and kept up an email conversation with them but didn't expect to ever see them again. Last year when Carnival's "friends & family" deal came out I asked them if they wanted to book with us in Nov....they did so we met up again. This year we're again booked for a Nov. cruise with them.
