Coralc Posted February 1, 2011 #51 Share Posted February 1, 2011 (edited) "Did I join? Yes. As an affiliate to get on the cruise and that was free." I think he is saying that he signed up to be an affiliate (free), and did not purchase the program. :) Thanks for letting us know how it went. :D Edited February 1, 2011 by Coralc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aquahound Posted February 1, 2011 #52 Share Posted February 1, 2011 CoralC - I hope you're right. Otherwise, we may be exploring the meaning of the word scam. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nado44 Posted February 1, 2011 #53 Share Posted February 1, 2011 Interesting review. Ive done chartered cruises before but the organizers were smart enough to know that it'd be a bad idea to take the entertainment out of a cruise. So the biggest question I have is --- did you get your cruise credit??!:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cbostic817 Posted February 3, 2011 Author #55 Share Posted February 3, 2011 (edited) Ok folks. Let me answer a couple of questions. But before I do that I apologize for not spell checking my review. I was in a rush to do it and get it to you. Anyway.. 1. No. I did not become a GIN member. It just was not for me personally. 2. There will be one next year. 3. To their credit, they did NOT charge my credit card one penny. 4. It's too early to tell if I will get the cruise credit. But my Seapass card said DIAMOND. I did call RC and they assured me I would be credited. However it's too early to tell. I did get a bottle of Moet, a fruit basket, a cheese and fruit tray, AND was one of the only 8 people to tour of the bridge and meet the Captain. I momentarily though those were GIN perks, but then I remembered this was the first cruise I was able to use my newly gotten Diamond status. 5. We were in room 6541. A modest room a best. The better rooms presumably went to those that paid, and or GIN members. Edited February 3, 2011 by cbostic817 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DarthGrady Posted February 8, 2011 #58 Share Posted February 8, 2011 Wow! If they had not just changed to cruise points there would be a ton of people screaming that a free 3 day cruise should not equal their bajillion dollar, 300 day cruise in the King Midas Suite! :D:D Haha! Anyway, glad to hear it worked out for you. I was curious to find out what the end result was. I'll bet there will be many more on that cruise next year now that we know they give credit and C&A perks for free. If I can talk myself into sitting through the seminars I might even look into it. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
