Never got a Xmas card, we are CC members too.

Didn't get one either. My bet is that it was sent to a targeting geographical or demographic market.

we were 1st time cruisers on wonder 2010. i remember while on cruise there's incentive to book future cruise with 10%discount, but thats kind of hard to know a year in advance . unless u hv the $$ saved and time off already..... we are working class budget travelers

just an fyi.....the onboard booking promotion you are talking about, the 10% off and onboard credit is changeable. You can book any cruise and date and then change it or even cancel it without a penalty ( as long as it is outside the penalty time frame, something like up to 75 days before your cruise start date). So you can actually book a "dummy date" and pay the required deposit, which is only half of the usual deposit amount and then change it. We did this on our last cruise, just booked a 3 nighter in September, inside room...our deposit was $87.00. AFter vacation schedules come out at work, we will change the date, etc. If something happens, we can cancel. My husband calls this my savings account, the money is refundable and interest rates are so low at the bank I am not loosing much letting disney hold it for me.

That's why you book a "Dummy Date"
