swoosh2005 Posted December 8, 2006 #477 Share Posted December 8, 2006 maybe they'll give us all a cruise???? (dream on) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KeystoneCruiser Posted December 8, 2006 #478 Share Posted December 8, 2006 When I entered this morning at about 7:00 a.m., the questions about what lines you have cruised on were still there. I just had two friends email that at 8:00 a.m., the questions were not there and they could enter without answering them. This is interesting, maybe NCL is responding to the complaints about this inappropriate new scheme to get info for soliciting customers. I still hate it that NCL has to ruin a great contest with that deal. Must have been Colin's idea....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just entered a few minutes ago - Nothing has changed, It is still there - (maybe just here in Montana :p ) Nah.....Not Colin's idea; looks like some of Monte's work!:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still hate it that NCL has to ruin a great contest with that deal. Must have been Colin's idea....... This a marketing plan. It is not inappropriate "scheme". It is a very good plan for NCL. Get people to come to their site........get e-mails so they could market on line(inexpensive) and the person gets to win a free cruise. It is a win/win marketing plan. I really don`t know what your problem would be with this:confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mbisson Posted December 8, 2006 #481 Share Posted December 8, 2006 :eek: Do you think it would help if we all entered with Monte as our first names???:p Bad idea! I can guarantee, it's not working for me! murrayhaven-Please be careful! If you have an ill tempered significant other I COULD BE KILLED! (maybe it's worth it though) ;) SailAways-not my work! If I had that kind of power I would've won a long time ago! I hope soreguy ;) isn't double crossing me. I'm trying to recruit him on my side-time to call in all the big guns! Personally, I really like the idea of all of us winning! But if they give us all a free cruise-who they gonna sell them to?? Maybe BOGO!! Yea, that's the ticket. -Monte T-minus 9 and counting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VoyageVirgin Posted December 8, 2006 #482 Share Posted December 8, 2006 I think we should try to get ahold of "Rosie O'D" - she might have a bit more pull than Oprah for this one. Please fairy God Mother, we've been so good. And Monte has been such a good sport!! Colin, if you're listening, be good to Monte. Another good marketing plot is thickening. Maybe Donald??

Texas2804 Posted December 8, 2006 #483 Share Posted December 8, 2006 I have to say that even though my name hasn't been one of the winning names I like reading the new line they post about Monte everyday....its almost as good as winning (or at least that's what I tell myself):rolleyes: Monte, I hope you do win....and when you have as much clout as shoreguy....remember the little people along the way!!!!!!

NJLVW Posted December 8, 2006 #485 Share Posted December 8, 2006 I am rooting for you too Monte. Wish my name would appear but I never win anything either. Seems that everything I get I work real hard for so I guess I will just be grateful for my up coming cruise in March. That said I will still continue to play everyday... You just never know.

viva01 Posted December 8, 2006 #486 Share Posted December 8, 2006 :D Maybe BOGO!! Yea, that's the ticket. Monte....that's it! With only 9 more give aways and the chance of me getting one....well...not so much, I think the BOGO idea is Absolutely Fantabulouse!:D :D Although....a major rise in price would probably occur...... :rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mbisson Posted December 8, 2006 #487 Share Posted December 8, 2006 If (ooops, I mean "when") Monty wins, who will volunteer to take his place as NCL's " not a winner poster child" Oh gosh, if I sold shoes, I would be Al Bundy :eek: ! OH MY-Al never won anything (except he did score 3 touchdowns-not in a season, in one game)! viva01-They wouldn't even need to "raise" prices, they could remove all discounts and we would have to pay list (which is about double what we normally pay) which would make BOGO no deal at all. What a nightmare! -Monte Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sjbdtz Posted December 8, 2006 #488 Share Posted December 8, 2006 We know that SG is involved in information technology (I don't remember the details, but he knew who to contact on their blackberry when the site was down)..... and he's mysteriously no longer participating in this thread, even though he's participating in the Blog thread, and he knew about the contest before anyone else, and even though Monte threw down at him.... (prominently mentioned on an NCL official website HOW MANY times????)..... My bet (tic though it may be), is that SG is involved in NCL's "systems" which is how he knows EVERYone....and he's the wizard behind the curtain.... :eek: :cool: ;) :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have a self-defined interested audience here, of NCL supporters, customers, latitudes members, both high & low profile.....this is their ideal market right here in this forum. Like they do with familiarization trips for TAs, so could they expense giving us all a 5 day, as marketing...she'll tell two people, and they'll tell two people, and so on, and so on..... Plus...if the ship is everything we hear it is...then 5 days won't be enough...and we'll all want to book onboard for our next trip! Begone the BOGO, bring on the FamTrip!

Funny:D - But, he did post that he wasn't going to participate because he could not work another cruise in during the time frame - already booked on the Dawn. Presently, he is on the Pearl - and it is "His" Blog - thus, he is naturally participating.:) :) :) He is simply a genius, let's face it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
