Rare ReneeFLL Posted April 2, 2018 #478 Share Posted April 2, 2018 I’m guessing you really must be jealous that I have a beautiful sweet lady 20 years my junior with her own money. Nice to combine two incomes. She makes me feel so young. Sent from my iPhone using Forums I suppose if you need that ego boost. :rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice to combine two incomes. She makes me feel so young. Sent from my iPhone using Forums Bob, a 70-year-old, extremely wealthy widower, shows up at the Country Club with a breathtakingly beautiful and very sexy 25-year-old blonde-haired woman who knocks everyone's socks off with her youthful sex appeal and charm and who hangs over Bob's arm and listens intently to his every word. His buddies at the club are all aghast. At the very first chance, they corner him and ask, 'Bob, how'd you get the trophy girlfriend?' Bob replies, 'Girlfriend? She's my wife!' They are knocked over, but continue to ask. 'So, how'd you persuade her to marry you?' 'I lied about my age', Bob replies. 'What, did you tell her you were only 50?' Bob smiles and says, 'No, I told her I was 90.' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NavarreCruiser Posted April 2, 2018 #481 Share Posted April 2, 2018 (edited) What ship are you on? Sorry if it is in your signature (I have those turned off to save page space). Came home today from a 7 day on the Liberty OTS. And to expand a little on what he said, I asked if he thought the change/reduction was just being delayed or truly canceled. He felt that they have backed off and truly reconsidered the change. Only time will tell if this is true or just the current corporate line.

psumother Posted April 2, 2018 #483 Share Posted April 2, 2018 Since when have we been able to view our offers on a computer in the icafe, our own computer or on the interactive TV? If you do not prepay before your cruise, there are a list of packages and your coupon for your complimentary days to purchase from your own computer or ipad or a computer in the icafe. If you scroll to the bottom of that list, there is sometimes a special. While on the Oasis in February, they would advertise internet specials thru your messages which you accessed using your interactive TV in your cabin. One day you could use your coupon and get a free day of surf and stream for the price of just surf. Since I usually use my free days toward the end of the week, there has also been a special where you use your coupon for the free days and can get internet to the end of the cruise for $1.99. Since I cruise solo many times, I try to maximize my 2 free days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes the internet offers do appear on the computer when you log in to purchase however the letter that I quoted specifically mentioned all your on board offers which you cannot check.

Margy23 Posted April 2, 2018 #491 Share Posted April 2, 2018 Interesting. One of the onboard reports was from the Brilliance. We were also on the Brilliance, on a B2B2B from 3/17 to 3/31. I used the Internet as usual on the first cruise and didn't use it on the second cruise, but when I tried to set up an ID Wednesday on the third cruise, there was no option for the free D+ access. I went to Guest Services and, after much waiting for the rep to find out what to tell me, she told me to go ahead and pay it and then she would refund it. She passed it off as an IT error, which we've certainly learned to accept. When I went back for my refund, another rep waited on me and said the program was changing after the next cruise, that they hadn't announced it yet but the computers were programmed "early." Definitely Brilliance was involved. I was feeling better about this after reading Royal's responses (this is the most important perk to us except the balcony discount) until I read the response to Pilot. Now I guess we'll have to wait and see. One can only hope! I'll be very disappointed if they are taking this away. Margy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Biker19 Posted April 2, 2018 #497 Share Posted April 2, 2018 Miami rarely knows what is happening on the ships. In this case I believe the situation is very fluid and may change day to day for a while. For most issues that may be the case, but for internet, Miami does know what's going on (their IT folks, not necessarily their CSRs) as they control most of it, fleetwide.

Charles4515 Posted April 2, 2018 #498 Share Posted April 2, 2018 That is not a list of all of the benefits. There are several benefits for each level that are loaded onto your Seapass that are not listed on the PDF. Those offers that are loaded on are not listed because they are changeable. They are not guaranteed. You might call them benefits but they are really onboard discounts to Diamond and Diamond Plus members that they don't have any obligation to provide. The benefits on the PDF they are obligated to provide until they change the program. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
