Redtravel Posted November 19, 2020 #1 Share Posted November 19, 2020 I have sailed on 10 Windstar cruises often b2b. I have enjoyed all of them. I cannot seem to get on the mailing list even after many requests. I have requested info about Windstar many times. I have signed up on your website. I get nothing. Thinking that the problem could be the website I called Windstar directly and spoke to a rep who said that they would add me to the list. Again, nothing. I recently found out through a facebook group and from cruisecritic boards that there are new changes in the Yacht Club. Again, no notification. I got on the web My Yacht Club, signed in, and found credits listed. I sometimes look at the Windstar website for the specials like 7 for 7. I feel like Windstar has forgotten me.

milepig Posted November 21, 2020 #2 Share Posted November 21, 2020 Don't feel it's just you. I also never get the 7 for 7 emails despite several attempts to get on the list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Windstar Cruises Posted November 30, 2020 #3 Share Posted November 30, 2020 Hi Redtravel and milepig. This is terrible news! Can you send me your name/email and let me have a chance to add you to our mailing list? Send to PR@Windstarcruises.com. Let's see if I can fix this once and for all.

milepig Posted December 2, 2020 #4 Share Posted December 2, 2020 (edited) Well. My email is right there. The last time I tried I got a scammy response wanting to contact me to book future cruises. I responded that I use a TA, and the messages stopped, but that meant ALL messaging stopped, including the specials that I was trying to sign up for. I was left feeling that the sign up was nothing but a marketing come on. Edited December 2, 2020 by milepig Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strenz Posted December 2, 2020 #5 Share Posted December 2, 2020 I was not getting the emails either. I sent an email to the one WS sent on this thread. I received a very nice email almost immediately from Sarah Scoltock that she would look into it for me and make sure I was on the list. she would check in with me the next time one from WS went out to make sure I received it. Here is hoping. Happy return to sailing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SailMaine Posted December 2, 2020 #6 Share Posted December 2, 2020 Strenz, I did the same thing, requesting they add me back to the mailing list - And was pleasantly surprised when Sarah sent the same message. Let’s hope it works! Also glad to see that maybe someone from Windstar Customer Service or PR may periodically read the forum threads and respond to questions or concerns. I know some of the other forums, such as Sea Dream, does that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MNgardens Posted December 4, 2020 #7 Share Posted December 4, 2020 (edited) I have emailed them as well. I get brochures in the postal service but nothing via email despite signing up several times.

Petoonya Posted December 5, 2020 #8 Share Posted December 5, 2020 Emailed as well and see what happens. For the heck of it I asked about a cruise from waaaaay back in 1992 that I never got credit for. Can't even recall if they had Yacht Club membership back then but seems like there was some way of accounting for cruises taken. We were on the ill-fated Wind Song Tahiti back in the Dark Ages.

Petoonya Posted December 11, 2020 #11 Share Posted December 11, 2020 I've yet to hear back from Sarah or WS....maybe holiday season.....or maybe I'm too impatient. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barrycat Posted December 11, 2020 #12 Share Posted December 11, 2020 I got the original response from Sarah saying that she would follow up. I have started to get some emails so I’ll see if that continues. I sent a second email to Sarah acknowledging that I have now received some marketing emails and suggested to her that she inform the marketing department that my needing to request marketing isn’t the way it works. After fifteen Windstar cruises I should have been a prime marketing target without requesting attention 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
