mbisson Posted December 26, 2006 #151 Share Posted December 26, 2006 Come on Monte let's face the facts. The only way you or I are getting on a ship is to get our credit cards out of the wallet :D :D ;) Jim ROTFLMAO-too true, but it's nice to dream! AND using the card will accumulate 4% in points :) Frustrating part is that they have onboard credits & upgrades avail in the current promos for "all" cruises in '07 or '08. We're planning 2 cruises in '08 but one is Alaska in May and the other won't be till Dec. Neither is available yet (& I'm sure wont' be for some time) so I can't take advantage - OH WELL -Monte Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shoreguy Posted December 26, 2006 #152 Share Posted December 26, 2006 Thanks guys! Margaret, my husband is much luckier too:rolleyes:! We're anxiously awaiting word but haven't heard anything yet. I don't think it will be totally real until we get some official contact:o. Airfare to Hawaii for 2 - $1000 Tours and ob expenses - $1100 Hotel and meals precruise - $900 Cruise taxes and tips - $ 360 Income tax (28% of $4300) - $1204 (yes Mary the 1099 is in the mail):eek: Free cruise - priceless:D but around $4500:eek: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KeystoneCruiser Posted December 26, 2006 #153 Share Posted December 26, 2006 Ok, question: Isn't there supposed to be a new puzzle each week? It is still showing the Na'Pali Coast pic with all pieces in place. Are they just going to do Hawaii the second week too? Or is it my computer. I tried to refresh and it still showed Hawaii. Geez, if NCL needs additional photos, just have them call Shoreguy...he's got all of them....:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

goldmom Posted December 26, 2006 #160 Share Posted December 26, 2006 Maryfrei- Congrats on your free cruise win. I agree that it's great that someone from CC won. Have you heard anything official yet? If they conditions and terms posted here earlier are correct it sounds as if you can chose any ship or sailing and are not locked into Hawaii. Is that right, or will you have to do the Hawaii cruise? Good luck and congratulations. Hope you'll be able to collect on the free cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KeystoneCruiser Posted December 26, 2006 #161 Share Posted December 26, 2006 Ok let's play here Oooo, that looks like Skagway Alaska. So can I have a free cruise? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mbisson Posted December 26, 2006 #162 Share Posted December 26, 2006 It could be Skagway (I guess) but the contest will probably be "name the ship that is in the bottom right" ;) BTW-at this point I'm willing to accept a free 3 hr tour on the Minnow! -Monte Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, Goldmom, from your lips to the NCL God's ears, that is exactly what the fine print says. As much as we would love to see Hawaii, as my friend scroogeguy:D points out, well...:eek: when it comes to the additional expenses! We would just love to get a cruise out of New York which is a short ride for us. I spent over two hours on the phone today, shuffled from place to place, and noboby could help me. Eventually it got to be 4pm and they just disconnected me, I didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Well, tomorrow is another day, and hopefully we'll hear from them or be able to finally reach someone there who can help! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From the openning page of the contest - By the way a new picture is up with two pieces exposed : every guess you make enters you into our weekly drawing for a Free Cruise for two to that week's destination. It's simple - just guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BTW-does this look like somewhere in Hawaii again? -Monte Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OceanDreaming2 Posted December 26, 2006 #169 Share Posted December 26, 2006 Looks like Falls Creek, Alaska. I tried to enter, but it says I already entered today - NOT! Yesterday, I still had the Hawaii puzzle. Today I had 2 pieces in this week's. So what was yesterday's clue? NCL has some issues they need to resolve! :confused: Mary, try looking for flights using Kayak.com. Could find a more reasonable cost. Or, find someone with lots of FF miles they'd like to donate. :eek: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VoyageVirgin Posted December 27, 2006 #174 Share Posted December 27, 2006 The Hint of the Day "No fewer than three countries lay claim to it" Rainbow Falls - Hawaii USA, Africa, New Zealand Although I did think we had one in Canada too - but that was just a bridge!!

DragonflyCruiser Posted December 27, 2006 #175 Share Posted December 27, 2006 I was thinking it is Iguazu Falls! Fun to guess and play! I'm so glad they still have a fun contest going so we can enter and dream. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
