Anyone ever been on a quilting cruise?
This looks like it would be fun, wondering if anyone else has done something like this?

I had wanted a friend to go with me on a Midwest tour. but our schedules didn't work out. I would think it would be fun to visit QS that are not local. Shop till you drop! But I wouldn't want to go on a cruise. I get seasick too easily on anything but a sailboat. They are also a little on the pricey side.

What I don't like is the teachers have all expenses paid. The other cruise members that do not take the cruise for the quilting pay less for the same thing. The quilting class pays for the teachers expenses. ?

I went on a cruise to Alaska with Pat Campbell, just before she had her stroke. I usually do tours that are related to quilting. ThAt way you see the sites and get to shop and be with other quilters. If you would like the name of the tour group just connect with me.

That would be expected. After all, they are working. Would you expect them to pay to work?

That's not what I mean. I think the quilters should get the same price as non quilting passengers and the cruise ship pay the teachers expenses, not up the price for the quilting cruise. The fact that 30 - 60 quilters sign up for the cruise should be more then enough to warrant the teacher fee not be included in each ticket. The last cruise my friend was on there was space left in the class and it was open to other passengers. The ones that did not pay as much for their ticket got the same three days of class as she did and she paid much more.

When a booking is sold, every 7th person should go free. That in mind, several people should go free including the teachers, the one who does the booking, etc. That is how some travel agents get to go free and take guests. Of course, repeat passengers get deals all the time. Just to let you know.
