I thought we were going to find out the winner on September 8th. It's now the 9th and I know I haven't heard anything. Anyone?

The cruise planner assigned to me is in another state. I located a cruise planner here in my state before my party and before I was aware of the one assigned to me through Cruise Planners , but I've decided not to use either of them at this time. Conflict.

Everyone had a great time. We had a mini water park, dunking tank and games. The whole neighborhood came out to party. Everyone loved the new ship Oasis of the Seas and all the cruise books were quite worn out by the end of the day. I have emailed Sarah from Cruise Planners already with inquires regarding cruises. People were leary of leaving personal information so I'm not sure about sending in the sheet. Overall a great time was had by all and RCCL will stay on their minds for quite some time. 3 already booked before the party even started........off to Alaska they go.....thanks RCCL

Our party was AWESOME. All had fun. The party pack had everything we needed. Most are looking into booking. But couldn't commit so soon. We are looking into the Oasis next year when bookings become available! Guests were not into giving up address and phone numbers for sales calls. Great House Party Idea!! Can't wait for the next one!

We had it all. Great tropical theme, Party decor, Great Food. It was non stop fun. We even had one of the guests dress like the ship captain!! We had a limbo contest. The guests all wore leis and sang kareoke. We set up a special RCI cruise information area complete with video and signage. Who wouldn't want to cruise now? Let's do it again!

Have held a couple other house parties and guests have had a blast and enjoyed the items to try. Was dissappointed with the party pack for the cruise party. It seemed more like a sales pitch party for the travel companies to get business. But house party, keep up the great party try out ideas.. You have provided a great way for my family and friends to have a different kind of theme party and fun when we get together.

I was dissapointed with the party pack. Most of my guests couldn't commit so soon to take advantage of the deals. We had fun any way. I didn't even get a call or email from my Cruise agent and I am ready for a cruise, so that would have been an easy deal for them. Oh well.

We had a great time at our party. It was a small turnout of 12, but had a blast. Our guests did not want to give email or phone numbers for the sales calls, but gave addresses and have all of the information.
The last cruise we took was an RC and I don't think we will ever cruise anything else. We had such a blast and getting the new catalogs is helping us plan our next party. We were able to give prizes to every family. Thanks for a great party and all of the fun stuff we had.

We had our Royal Caribbean Get Away From The Everyday House Party on Saturday. We were a small group, only 22 guests, but we had a blast. My husband and I had just returned from a fabulous cruise on the Freedom of the Seas on August 2nd, so my guests were treated (sarcasm) to our vacation pictures. we are all so excited about the Oasis! Those two brochures were a hit. Unfortunately, none of us are able to book within a week. Also, none of my guests were willing to provide telephone numbers for sales calls. Can't blame them. But they all left with Cruise Planners' information, so when they are ready, they will call.
The party was a blast. The second package provided prizes for our bellyflop/cannonball contest, towel folding contest, and guy's sexy legs contest. The umbrella straws made our froo froo pina coladas and mango tangos look so festive.
A great time was had by all. We are all looking foward to sailing the Oasis in the future. Maybe we can all go together????

Well, We had a TERRIFIC! time at out party. Good food, good friends....by the time we were finished talking about past cruises, checking out the pictures, and talking about how much fun Royal Carribean Cruises are, we were all ready to get away.....NOW!
But, we settled on the cruise night at hand, ate alot of great food, drank from RC glasses, wore our leis and twirled umbrellas. We laughed and had a great time!
Thanks House Party and Royal Carribean....everyone at the party is ready to get away very soon!

My party was amazing and a great success. Although I was little disappointed with party supplies, I decided to have fun with my friends with whatever I had. I am happy with the way it turned out. I served lots of good food and drinks. I was happy that I got this time to spend with my friends. We rented bouncy house for the kids and kids had a blast. I kept the leis as a take home gift for the kids. They had so much fun with it. Umbrella straws were huge hit among the kids. We played some cruising games and it was so much fun. I gave away the logo items to the winners of games. At the end of the day I think i created pretty good impression on royal carribean cruise. I am sure my friends will try RC atleast once. Thank you house party for giving me this opportunity to experience all the fun.

Whew! I'm still recovering from an awesome House Party. My Cruise Planners stopped by with a great party platter and spoke briefly to us before we broke into party mode. I also used the logo items as prizes for the guests which was a huge hit and made a couple of the recipes. The cocktail was out of this world and partying...Caribbean-style. Let's just say it was an all out Royal Caribbean getaway party! I'm so excited about the cruise- we are planning a girlfriends getaway on Royal Caribbean!

My party on Aug.8th. was alot of fun. I tried to decorate my house as a cruise ship and incorporate many areas of a real cruise. We had the exorcise area, a casino, bar, promanade deck, Lido deck and kayaks with an ocean view. I had lots of food and drinks and good friends. Now I want to go on another cruise. My dog Muffy even had her "Little Miss Attitude" dress on. Thanks.

The Cruisitude web site has me confusitude. I joined and uploaded my party pictures, and they were placed in My Photos with a status of "Pending." Then I noticed the House Party tab at the top.
So I clicked on it, joined the group, then clicked "Add Photo" in the group area. It brought me back to the "My Photo" area to upload!
Help! Please? Do I have to upload all my photos AGAIN?

Thanks, but that's the House Party site upload. The last party announcement stated that we needed to upload our photos to cruisitude, which is the AmEx Cruise Planners site.

Reading these 2 parties -I didn't get fruit or magnets.
We had lil straw umbrellas, leis, and flowers set on the table. My guests wanted to party at midnight and we were practicing the Attitude song. If you want to see complete nuts laughing......stay tuned for the upload. We enjoyed a dessert party with several cakes !
In the day we continued by the pool with chips and candy. Everyone seemed to have a sweet tooth. We made believe we were in the casino and played Poker while others swam. Than we finished it off with trivia games and scrabble.
Great fun!

Because I didn't know what was coming in the second box, I have rescheduled the party to the 15th -- this is allowing more preparation time - I think it is going to be a blast!

Everyone had a fun time. We served foods with an international flair, and served a festive fruit punch. Everyone got into the mood with the leis and the umbrella straws. I hope our guests will book furture cruises with RCCL, as a matter of fact a couple of guests just left for a RCCL cruise last Friday. Thanks houseparty for picking me to host this RCCL event.

This whole thing is very sad. Cruises that were booked for "special deals" to find out that the prices lowered and that Cruise Planner ran the special again, not having anything to do with HouseParty, just sending out mass emails. So My sisters cruise dropped $100.00 pp and it has been two weeks, not return call or email nothing......very poor all the way around
