Go to the phone line and delete what is there and then type in the 10 digits - the system will fill in the dashes thank you, this worked Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You did that one pins one (thanks for the report, I just read it)...do you think they will give us a choice of the 3 or they will tell us which we were chose for?

Rare lorimay Posted August 6, 2021 #80 Share Posted August 6, 2021 The only one of the cruises near us is the Mariner from Port Canaveral. That is scheduled for August 11. Can they really organize the passengers in less than a week? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, we will decline if selected because we are on Allure on the 22nd and don't want to muck that cruise up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got as far as the choice of sailings screen and would have chosen Mariner of the Seas on August 11, but if all goes as planned, I should be on the Carnival Magic that day, in or around Bimini... drat. September 18, I should be on MSC Divina's first cruise that I have already booked, double drat! New Jersey is a bit far for me to drive.. tripple drat! .. I bailed out of the contest at that point and didn't complete my entry. Pretty much the same situation here, although I completed my entry anyway, in case the list might be used for other cruises in the future. There is no way we are flying anywhere and we will be boarding the Magic on August 12, so the Mariner is out. I was willing to move the Magic to the 21st (with an extra day), but my SO voted to keep the Magic as it is. Don’t know if I want to be selected or not!

laumicmah Posted August 6, 2021 #83 Share Posted August 6, 2021 We live in PA so the Bayonne cruise works well and we have a FL place too and are going down soon so the PC cruise also works. No Galveston for us though. Too far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wait a second. The email says this is a sweepstakes AND gives a prize value! So we have to pay taxes on this prize?? Count on it. You can't just receive a "gift" of that value without the IRS noticing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare livingonthebeach Posted August 6, 2021 #87 Share Posted August 6, 2021 Haven't read the whole thread so don't know if this question has been asked before but here goes - as a diamond member I have 7 times the entry number but someone who doesn't have C & A status can apply and have twelve times the entry number???? Or am I reading it wrong? Can I also apply 12 times? From the website: Your entries are as explained below: Pinnacle members: 11 additional entries Diamond Plus members: 9 additional entries Diamond members: 7 additional entries Emerald members: 5 additional entries Platinum members: 3 additional entries Gold members: 1 additional entry If you are not a Crown & Anchor member, not to worry! Click the link below to submit additional entries – you can enter up to a total of 12 times! http://additionalentries.volunteersoftheseas.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thought there would be some kind of an automatic cutoff. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last time I signed up for a free cruise, they sent me on a 5 year cruise to the Persian Gulf on the Big Battle Gray Ship.

They would get their 11 entries from one submission and another 1 from a second submission. I'm not sure that's correct. Beth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The rules state the following: "LIMIT TWELVE (12) ENTRIES PER PERSON, REGARDLESS OF METHOD OF ENTRY. ADDITIONAL ENTRIES MAY BE DISQUALIFIED." https://www.royalcaribbean.com/terms-and-conditions/volunteers-of-the-seas I figure they will not count the additional entries - just up to the number allowed, whatever that is😜.

Rare Sea Dog Posted August 6, 2021 #97 Share Posted August 6, 2021 I figured I have nothing to lose. Some of the locations might be cost prohibitive for me to go. My cruise is happening in November so I will be on board soon. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
