Could you please give me the contact info for the taxi driver you used in Kuala Lumpur. We are going there next Feb.

Thanks

Well I haven't been thru all 96 pages of this post, in the many pages I did read, I found lots of info about first time cruisers who want a referral coupon, but no info on how people who have already sailed get them. I have sailed with Seabourn 3 times, including just getting off the Quest on an South Amertica/Antarctica cruise Jan 4 - 25, 2014 (GREAT CRUISE), so I wondered why I never have received these from Seabourn after my previous cruises. After checking, I find that if you have sailed with them before and have signed up to be a club member (free), you have to ask Seabourn to send them to you. Here is what they told me in an email:

"To obtain a referral coupon in the future, please email seabournclub@seabourn.com and provide your name, Club number, and complete mailing address.

We send our referral coupons in pairs. If you need more than 2 referral coupons, please let us know."

I should be getting mine soon. As soon as we plan our next cruise I will be looking for someone who has never sailed with Seabourn who wants one.

Most people also don't know that if you hold 100+ shares of Carnival stock you can also get up to $250 On Board Credit on all of Carnival's lines, incl Seabourn. RCI has a similar offer. Follow this link to get more info: http://phx.corporate-ir.net/phoenix.zhtml?c=140690&p=irol-sharebenefit

AMEX Platinum card members also get $300 OBC for each cruise if you charge your cruise to this card The card is expensive but if you travel a lot, it more than pays back the $450 per year fee.

If you do all of the above you should wind up with at least $950 OBC plus whatever you can get from your TA.

Also, if you cruise with Seabourn and like what you see and plan to sail with them again, be sure to put down your future cruise deposit while you are still at sea. This $500 deposit per person gets you 5% off your next cruise and you have 4 years to use it and if you don't it is fully refunded. Sure beats most other ways to invest $500. Paid off more than 100% profit in less than a year as an Antarctica cruise is very expensive.
