familyof4cruising Posted November 18, 2006 #151 Share Posted November 18, 2006 I'm one of the winners. I got the call in the morning, my caller ID said Norwegian Cruise Lines. They posted my name as a winner the day before, so I never saw it posted. I only found out it was posted because I googled it and found my way to this board. So... thanks!!! This will be my first cruise. I'm going to take my daughter with me because she'll be going off to college next year and this will be a wonderful gift for her. I'm a total newbie about cruises, so I guess I'll be scouring this site for tips. :) I am interested to know- How did you hear about the cruise to enter if you never cruised before? Like I said before most of these cruises will go to people who have never cruise NCL before. Congratulations - I am still hoping for a chance - Do you think I have a better chance of winning a cruise OR getting an upsell on the 2/16 sailing the Pearl ( when it is almost sold out)??????

To answer your first question, we have some friends that had taken a cruise to Alaska, and they said it was amazing. I started searching for Alaska cruises and happened upon the Norwegian Cruise Line site. I saw that they were giving away 40 cruises, but I never thought I'd win one. To answer your second question, well...I can't because I don't understand it. What's an upsell? :confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's an upsell? :confused: Congrats Judy, An upsell is when NCL contacts you and offers you a better cabin but at a price. The easiest formula has been half the going rate per person for the cabin being offered minus what you have paid. Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lotteryfan Posted November 19, 2006 #159 Share Posted November 19, 2006 Problems this morning with the Happy Birthday Web Site. First I see a typo. The question says: You will never miss the ship because of a lite flight, missed connection or other travel delay. What it should say is: You will never miss the ship because of a late flight, missed connection or other travel delay. Then when I tried to answer the question and submit it, a crazy page comes up with something like: Error Occurred While Processing Request Error Executing Database Query. [Macromedia][sqlServer JDBC Driver][sqlServer]Could not allocate space for object 'ncl40_entries' in database 'NCL' because the 'PRIMARY' filegroup is full. We'll see how long this takes to fix. Its 5:37 am now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

familyof4cruising Posted November 19, 2006 #163 Share Posted November 19, 2006 Well at least today's winner is showing Carole-Anne Bowers This happened to me last night at 11:30 when I tried to enter. I thought you couldn't enter anymore for the day. But the problem is still there- they may have to extend it to 41 days if they do not fix and get a winner for today.

SailAways Posted November 19, 2006 #170 Share Posted November 19, 2006 Well, obviously, I'm not alone in my confusion with the Happy Birthday Site. Must mean that we are all winners, and their data base will not compute so many names at one time. Let's begin the Roll Call right now!! Carole-Anne Bowers - What did you do????????

ialacruiser Posted November 19, 2006 #171 Share Posted November 19, 2006 Yeah..since it's Sunday I'm guessing this won't be fixed until tomorrow. D'oh! :rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
noobiecruiser Posted November 19, 2006 #172 Share Posted November 19, 2006 Well, I hope Carole Ann Bowers is happy. Hopefully they'll extend it one day once they see the problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retired not Expired Posted November 19, 2006 #173 Share Posted November 19, 2006 Hopefully they'll extend it one day once they see the problem. Disaster, that's what it is, a disaster. The only reason I've been following this is because I wanted to enter the contest today.:rolleyes: They have ruined it for me. I know I would have been today's whiner.....er winner. They need to step up and offer me a free cruise of my choice to allieve my pain and suffering.:D :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KeystoneCruiser Posted November 19, 2006 #174 Share Posted November 19, 2006 I thought it was just me who couldn't enter. NCL's way at getting back at me for all of my complaining....lol:D (that is a joke people...don't attack me!) Seriously, it is still only about 11:30 a.m.. There is still plenty of time left in the day for them to get it fixed. Just keep trying. (but if they do fix it, don't tell anyone...might give some of us more of a chance...lol) I would like to comment about the questions. I hate it when websites ask questions where the answers beside the correct one are STUPID. The last few days (with the exception of yesterday), the choices have just been plain stupid. To me, it is demeaning to people when promotion departments do that. It makes it look like they think people are stupid. If you are going to demean people with question choices, just skip the dang question and have people enter! (but par for the course at NCL, I have always thought the actions of their promotion department and customer serivice departments made it appear that they believe that their customers are stupid.)

whatawonderfulworld Posted November 19, 2006 #175 Share Posted November 19, 2006 Are you telling me that I'm not going to "win the lottery"? :D It's still broken....as of 11:57 a.m. Ciao, W A W W p.s. DH said the same thing Keystone (;)) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
