DaniDanielle Posted December 29, 2019 #52 Share Posted December 29, 2019 Not Royal. It is a change purse from a resort we used to go to in the Catskills, so double memories🤪 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lenquixote66 - I did the same early on. I have done Windjammer Barefoot Cruises and Carnival too - so my total is 5. Since my first with Royal I get regular repeat offers but did not get those on the other ships which is why my last 6 have been on Royal - I made Platinum the second day of my last one so will make Emerald in 2 more cruises after this next one: 1/18 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was hard to believe, but yes there is one for $40 plus s&H. Crazy. Our never left the room. I guess I thru money away, of course that assumes someone would pay $45.

DaniDanielle Posted December 29, 2019 #58 Share Posted December 29, 2019 The Thompson House Resort in Windham. We took many family trips there. My husband’s cousins own a restaurant there. It’s a small country community but beautiful scenery. We always found plenty to do. Villa Roma in Calicoon NY is another great place. They have time shares plus rooms to book.

johnjen Posted December 30, 2019 #66 Share Posted December 30, 2019 Our pins remain nailed to the card and stuck in my sock drawer. Wouldn't mind the fancy Diamond Plus one though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaniDanielle Posted December 30, 2019 #74 Share Posted December 30, 2019 We always got our pins delivered to our room. My daughter even got an Emerald pin instead of her Platinum pin. At least she will already have it when she soon turns Emerald!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
