I'm in Austin. A Texas "meetup"......seems to me it would be a Texas "roundup", but meant in the good way. Like what the cowboys do with the cattle out on the range. coneyraven 1 Quote

Cristina_WNOP Posted June 4, 2017 Report Posted June 4, 2017 I'm in Boerne, north of San Antonio! Roundup/Meetup sounds good to me Quote
Matt Posted June 4, 2017 Report Posted June 4, 2017 Tagging @Wilson, @Michael Vitale & @Christie Quote
Christie Posted June 5, 2017 Report Posted June 5, 2017 I'm in College Station. Austin, Houston, Dallas, or San Antonio for the Round Up would all be fine with me! Quote
Michael Vitale Posted June 6, 2017 Report Posted June 6, 2017 DFW area here. Gonna be hard setting up a Texas meetup. Texas isn't NYC. It's bigger than most countries. It would be like setting up a "Germany meetup" But if it's here in DFW, I'd be interested, sure. ? LLG1999Linz 1 Quote

I'm pretty centralized and would be willing to drive up to 4 hours if it's in a city where there's more to do ? Quote
Christie Posted June 6, 2017 Report Posted June 6, 2017 I say Austin is a good central location. When are we thinking? Quote

Wilson Posted June 11, 2017 Report Posted June 11, 2017 I am always down for a DFW Meet up. Unfortunately too much going on to make an 8 hour round trip Austin run. Quote

iamjohnbamber Posted June 16, 2017 Author Report Posted June 16, 2017 How about a Saturday in July in Austin? Maybe Saturday July 15th? Quote
Cristina_WNOP Posted June 16, 2017 Report Posted June 16, 2017 Sounds good to me, any suggestions as to where? Quote
iamjohnbamber Posted June 18, 2017 Author Report Posted June 18, 2017 So far I've got: @iamjohnbamber - Austin @Cristina_WNOP - San Antonio (Austin) @Christie - College Station (Austin) @Michael Vitale - DFW @Wilson - DFW @blueyes1961 - DFW So right now it's looking pretty even location-wise. Are there more folks in Texas who we should get involved in this? Hey @Matt can you bring this up on your next few scopes/FB Lives to help raise awareness, and so we can get as many Texas folk involved? If it turns out a majority of the people are in DFW, I'd be okay with going up to DFW for a meetup, what about you folks @Cristina_WNOP and @Christie? I'd want to have a better idea of how many more folks there are in TX before we pick an actual location. Quote

If the group chooses Dallas I'd just need a little bit more notice in order to make plans :) We can also ask @CruisingKat(Kathy) if we can post in the RC Periscopers Facebook page. I don't mind doing a scope to help get the word out. CruisingKat(Kathy) 1 Quote
iamamy0922 Posted June 19, 2017 Report Posted June 19, 2017 My partner and I are in Northwest Austin. We would be interested in a meet up. Quote

Christie Posted June 19, 2017 Report Posted June 19, 2017 I board Harmony on July 15, but if ppl like that date, don't reschedule on my accord Quote
vjfjohnson Posted June 20, 2017 Report Posted June 20, 2017 We are in Austin! But- I manage a restaurant and usually work weekends. You guys plan whenever and if we are able to make it, then we will! Love this idea! iamamy0922 1 Quote
cjacksonii Posted June 20, 2017 Report Posted June 20, 2017 My partner (almost Diamond) and I (Halfway from Platinum to Emerald) live in Dallas. Would definately enjoy meeting other people who love RCCL! (I've tried a few other cruise lines, with a couple on my list of "I at least want to try it" cruise lines.....so far, Royal is my *favorite*, so much that I'm going on Liberty in October, Symphony next October. My partner found a deal on Jewel in November, and I'm really hating not being able to go (because of work). Quote

If you want to hop a flight and crash the party you totally could! Anyone is welcome to join, whether or not you live in TX - I just figured we'd set this up so it wasn't just the Orlando people having all the fun! RestingBird 1 Quote
Laurac22 Posted June 20, 2017 Report Posted June 20, 2017 We're in Houston! Would be interested in a possible meet up depending on location and date!! Thanks! Quote
Cheryl Posted June 20, 2017 Report Posted June 20, 2017 Hooray! I am in! Thank you, Matt! I want to be included. I am right outside if Tyler so DFW is closer but I can drive. I like DFW first, Austin second. Quote
jlwrinkle Posted June 21, 2017 Report Posted June 21, 2017 We are in DFW but going to Montana July 15th to get out of the Texas heat. Love Austin so any excuse to go there any other weekend is fine with us. Lynn Quote

So far looking like Austin will be the location... Quote
iamjohnbamber Posted July 3, 2017 Author Report Posted July 3, 2017 How's Saturday August 5th for everyone - time TBA, location most likely Austin. Quote
cjacksonii Posted July 3, 2017 Report Posted July 3, 2017 That date is open for me, I'll currently place it on my calendar. I'm more than willing to drive from DFW to Austin for this. :-) Future Cruises: Liberty of the Seas, October 8-15, 2017; Symphony of the Seas Transatlantic, October 26-November 9. 2018 Cristina_WNOP 1 Quote
iamjohnbamber Posted July 4, 2017 Author Report Posted July 4, 2017 Okay gang I've put together a website which will be updated periodically with all the logistics information on it as we get closer - there's also an RSVP form on there, it would help out greatly if those definitely interested could fill it out so I could have a better idea of who will be there, and I can make arrangements with the venue to get a spot reserved for us.
