Paulchili Posted June 29, 2011 #1 Share Posted June 29, 2011 This is totally OT and not a big deal, but it was nice and thoughtful to have recently received Happy Birthday wishes from CC message boards (LauraS) and HAL. I realize that these messages are probably triggered automatically and thus are not necessarily very personal (from HAL, anyway), but they are nice to receive. It would have been nice to have heard from Oceania whom I have supported (financially) a lot more than HAL. Just a thought. Cheers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if it's triggered by our TA. My husband received the same card, only different signatures, when he had a birthday on the Marina TA. (Got the CC one from Laura, too.)

I must be on Oceania's s**t list, seing how they do it as well to some people. :) Yes, OBC would be better. A Knitter - thank you. BTW, I still love you Oceania and will not cancel my booked cruises :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cbb Posted June 29, 2011 #8 Share Posted June 29, 2011 Paul, You are still having birthdays? I've adopted my grandmother-in-law's idea "I gave up birthdays for Lent." (When she turned 90 she told us she was giving up "prizefights"--she was getting too old to take a fall!) Happy Birthday, Paul. I hope you have many more happy healthy years!! c Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would like to give up my birthdays but I don't like that alternative...:). I'll enjoy them as long as I can enjoy them. Sounds like your GMIL had a good sense of humor - that probably helped her live that long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway, Happy Birthday, whenever it might be, to all the posters on this thread. If it were in my power, I'd grant us all OBC! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wripro Posted June 29, 2011 #11 Share Posted June 29, 2011 Paul, if anything you should be on their VIP list as often as you sail with them. Happy Birthday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruin Steve Posted June 29, 2011 #12 Share Posted June 29, 2011 Happy Birthday, Paul... As for me, at my age, I would prefer not to be reminded of my birthdays... :) :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CintiPam Posted June 29, 2011 #13 Share Posted June 29, 2011 Oceania threw me a ten-day party for my birthday this year and also sent me a birthday card. Whoops;): I just remembered that it was my husband whose idea it was to take this Baltic cruise to celebrate my "significant" birthday and booked and paid for it. But Oceania did tuck a card in the holder by my door!:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yorkiemomjn Posted June 30, 2011 #14 Share Posted June 30, 2011 We haven't received any BD cards, but we did get a surprise call about $100 OBC added to our account during this past cruise. It was in addition to the $200 from our TA. We didn't ask any questions........:p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
