Adam Goldstein, President &CEO, Royal Caribbean International See card insert for official rules (The card just had the legal stuff... but it did say you had to depart in December 2013 eligible. Oh... and you had to make your booking by November 30, 2013. SO... I am happy with my chances... and think this is pretty creative of RCCL!!

I am pretty sure that you mean that it must be booked by November thirtieth two thousand FOURTEEN and depart by December 2015. Yes? Go back and read it again... To be eligible for the drawing... you have to depart in December and to be eligible for the drawing you had to purchase your December 2013 cruise prior to November 30, 2013... The PRIZE is a cruise in 2015... :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashland Posted December 10, 2013 #4 Share Posted December 10, 2013 Sorry but I don't see this as an equal for those that benefited from the previous offer (Diamonds in December)...being just rewarded with a "chance" in a drawing..JMHO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since the prior years were limited marketing events... and not actually a benefit of being a Diamond or above... this was a nice surprise!

cruisenfever Posted December 10, 2013 #6 Share Posted December 10, 2013 (edited) Did you also get the 2014 Calendar? http://boards.cruisecritic.com/showpost.php?p=40918182&postcount=64 Edited December 10, 2013 by cruisenfever Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spintowin Posted December 10, 2013 #7 Share Posted December 10, 2013 Will be on Freedom Dec 15 and am Diamond. Do you know who is eligible for the calendar? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Motorman23 Posted December 10, 2013 #8 Share Posted December 10, 2013 (edited) Sorry but I don't see this as an equal for those that benefited from the previous offer (Diamonds in December)...being just rewarded with a "chance" in a drawing..JMHO. Since when does a previous offer have to be matched by another offer? There was never a contract between RCCL and its guests that a diamonds in december offer would be an ongoing offer. If you didnt take it when it was offered, too bad. This is a thank you to those who traveled in December of 2013, take it for what it is, a thank you.

truffles2 Posted December 11, 2013 #12 Share Posted December 11, 2013 I miss the calendars they used to give away. They were cardboard about 11" X 11" and had the entire year on one side and another year on the other side--along with pertinent phone numbers, etc. I'm still using some and saving them until they will be correct again (hope I live that long:eek:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JMHO Sorry my opinion didn't jive with yours...but it was "Just My" opinion....Since I'm never able to cruise in December (and it never applied to me) it was a nice perk for those that could..."Just saying".

Colorado Babe Posted December 11, 2013 #14 Share Posted December 11, 2013 (edited) Good job RC. I think it was a great idea and a surprise for those that booked prior to November 30th and cruised in December. Good luck to all the Diamonds, Diamond Plus and Pinnacle cruisers.
