BTW some of my posts are longer than others. Dont think I need to write a book each time I post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And when you reach Diamond the pin is still the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare jimbo5544 Posted November 20, 2013 #104 Share Posted November 20, 2013 I have never seen anyone other than Stormin Norm acting like they were important because of their loyalty level. The only thing I miss other than the canapes is the free entry into the slot tournament, but I guess that there were so many Platinums that they weren't hardly making any money off the game. OK, I will ask. WHo is stormin Norm? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GRANNYOFSIX Posted November 20, 2013 #109 Share Posted November 20, 2013 When we first became Platinum I remember the wine tasting event was free - that was fun and we enjoyed it. But, to us, having our cabin ready when we board the ship is the most important and appreciated benefit we ever received.:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AmberTeka Posted November 20, 2013 #112 Share Posted November 20, 2013 There has been too much discussion of this topic already, I think. If you want FTTF..get it and enjoy. Don't gloat. If you are Platinum and resent being...lied too.....sail some where else. Vote with taking your pocketbook elsewhere. And eventually it is not that big of a deal. But ..the Economic side..Today..on the Radio..Bloomberg I think..... " It costs 7 times as much to lure a new customer, than it does to work at keeping old, loyal customers."' exactly what Steve Jobs said........"treat your good customers very well. Because you can depend on them coming back. Purely on a Basis of Business..it will be interesting to see how it turns out...good business decision or bad one.

Haven't seen anyone who purchased FTTF "gloat". They just posted about how excited they were and glad they were able to purchase. As Platinum, I really like FTTF allowing DW and I early access to our rooms. About this I will "gloat". While I may/may not agree with the FTTF Program, this part has been good to us.

dclark Posted November 21, 2013 #114 Share Posted November 21, 2013 But, to us, having our cabin ready when we board the ship is the most important and appreciated benefit we ever received.:) That's something that should be available for everyone. On Princess, all cabins are ready for everyone, whether they cruised once or 100x. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kind of hard to have every room available by 11:30 when the last of the previous cruisers probably disembarked at 10:00. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What are you talking about? People get off Princess ships the same time as ccl, board same time too. Yet, the cabins are ready- explain that! You really should try a princess cruise.

I think he will be a good addition. he is a Viet Nam Vet, so I think Vets will especially like him. Others too. Princess always seems to me to be Carnival Folks whose kids are grown...a little more sedate.....a little more sophisticated.....but same nice folks. Friendly. Down to earth. Lots of Canadians sail on Princess. I really like the ones we have played Trivia with and developed friendships. princess has a good vibe. hope he brings it with him.
