fpcruiser Posted February 26, 2013 #1 Share Posted February 26, 2013 Yesterday I booked a cruise during the WOW sale. This morning at 4:30am, I received a text from a 561 exchange. It said my name- WOW. That was all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was all. WOW (npi), never heard of RCI texting before. Maybe just a coincidence? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know it could be a coincidence but no one in South Florida has my cell phone # except RCI. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fpcruiser Posted February 26, 2013 Author #5 Share Posted February 26, 2013 Did you enter that contest that ended Sunday that was on Twitter?? no, I don't have a smart phone and don't do twitter. Unfortunetly I deleted the message right away so I don't have the #, I just remembered the exchange. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daghis Posted February 26, 2013 #6 Share Posted February 26, 2013 no, I don't have a smart phone and don't do twitter. Unfortunetly I deleted the message right away so I don't have the #, I just remembered the exchange. I assume you actually mean area code when you say exchange. The exchange is the middle three digits in a 10-digit number (it would be then XXX in a phone number that looks like AAA-XXX-NNNN). Since text messages can have faked source addresses, it's impossible to be completely sure that it came from where you think it did. It's possible that it was merely a test notification that Royal Caribbean could use in the event they need to send you a status update on embarkation day, I suppose.

I think it was the area code but not sure . Those were the #'s near the beginning but since I was half asleep(at 4:30am) I don't remember for sure.

lady_cruiser Posted February 26, 2013 #8 Share Posted February 26, 2013 Yesterday I booked a cruise during the WOW sale. This morning at 4:30am, I received a text from a 561 exchange. It said my name- WOW. That was all. With a little research I found that area code 561 is in Florid and is assigned to the Palm Beach area. AHHH half the mystery solved.

cruisnseas Posted February 27, 2013 #10 Share Posted February 27, 2013 None of Royal's offices are in the 561 area code (nor exchange, for that matter). They are 305 (536 exchange) and 954 (unsure of the exchange but it isn't 561) area codes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
