PH8 Posted September 18, 2008 #103 Share Posted September 18, 2008 Ordered mine Tuesday and I just got an email saying it was coming via USPS and could take 15-20 business days!:eek: :eek: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bruce-r Posted September 19, 2008 Author #104 Share Posted September 19, 2008 I ordered mine Monday and got an email saying it was shipped via USPS. Anyone know why some are getting DHL and some USPS and how much longer it'll take to receive them using USPS My guess is that there might be some areas of the country where DHL doesn't deliver.

xxbrowns Posted September 19, 2008 #105 Share Posted September 19, 2008 I ordered mine Friday or Saturday last week, and they arrive via DHL today. Great service. They could have saved postage and send the 4 of them in one package, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SailingDeanna Posted September 19, 2008 #106 Share Posted September 19, 2008 I previously reported that I ordered 2 cards on Saturday and received them the following Tues. by DHL. I ordered 2 more because I thought if the service was that fast, I might as well get more for my upcoming cruise. This time I got the email from UPS that it will take 15-20 business days as others have reported. So I'm not sure of the change. But I will just have to use the others on my cruise in June. Too bad! So getting UPS vs DHL has nothing to do with your address. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sxycplsrq Posted September 19, 2008 #107 Share Posted September 19, 2008 We were on the Freedom of the Seas in July and bought drink cups... we are going on the Liberty in November... do you think the cups will work agian?

Are they the same from ship to ship? No, they will not work again. Aside from the questionable morals of trying to cheat to get free sodas, they do change the cups on a regular basis just to prevent what you are suggesting. My Unlimited soda package card should be here tomorrow according to the DHL site tracking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bruce-r Posted September 19, 2008 Author #111 Share Posted September 19, 2008 My 2 cards arrived today, each in a separate large yellow DHL envelope. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jhk1206 Posted September 19, 2008 #112 Share Posted September 19, 2008 Got our card yesterday - just in time for next week!!! Yahooie!!! Now, the question remains, will they charge you for the gratuity, or is it really 'free'??? I know typically when you get something for 'free', you still pay tax. gratuity, etc. But, I didn't notice it anywhere on there, so I guess we'll see what happens. - Jill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm expecting to not have to pay anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zantedeschia Posted September 20, 2008 #114 Share Posted September 20, 2008 For those of you who can't afford the higher priced rewards, there is a new RCI sweepstakes for a 7 day Alaskan cruise. 3 points per entry. Have fun! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bruce-r Posted September 21, 2008 Author #115 Share Posted September 21, 2008 Just for fun, I checked ebay to see if anyone was selling the Unlimited Soda package card was being offered for sale and sure enough I found one with a current price of $19 which isn't a bad price, but not as good as free.

PurpleDog Posted September 21, 2008 #116 Share Posted September 21, 2008 I ordered cards last Thursday and got the mail confirmation the next day, saying that the cards were shipping via USPS. I leave for AOS out of San Juan just 1 week from today, so I've got my fingers crossed ! My question is this: are the cards in any way personalized ? In other words, if they arrive to late for my cruise could I sell them on eBay ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brwneyez424 Posted September 21, 2008 #118 Share Posted September 21, 2008 Does anyone know what time in the morning you can put codes in if you put them in yesterday? I tried putting codes at 6:30am and it said I reached my limit already. I haven't put any today but did yesterday. :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scotandtamcruzn4fun Posted September 21, 2008 #119 Share Posted September 21, 2008 You can put your codes starting at noon :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blong2200 Posted September 21, 2008 #120 Share Posted September 21, 2008 I asked a question earlier concerning using this Coke Reward on Celebrity, which is owned by RCL, Inc., but got no response from anyone, so I wrote to RCL to inquire. The answer was NO, that this reward is only for RCL, which I really question. INC. to me includes ALL of the ships included in the RCL line. If I can use stockholder credits for RCL on Celebrity, why can't I use Coke Reward points? Doesn't sound fair to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VASOXFANN Posted September 21, 2008 #123 Share Posted September 21, 2008 Greetings! This is Jessica on the 9/20 Jewel NE/Canada cruise, posting via BlackBerry from Longfellow Square in beautiful Portland, ME! We redeemed the MCR soda package card yesterday for DH's soda package. We were given a receipt (for accounting purposes) with a 0 balance. No gratuity was charged. They took the card and put a regular sticker on DH's seapass card. Don,t feel too bad about the Soda Card perple losing out on their gratuity, as I bought myself a soda package. They told me that was the first MCR soda card redeemed! I asked if I won a prize (like a a second free soda package ;) ) and they laughed. Oh well, it was worth a try :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bruce-r Posted September 21, 2008 Author #124 Share Posted September 21, 2008 I asked a question earlier concerning using this Coke Reward on Celebrity, which is owned by RCL, Inc., but got no response from anyone, so I wrote to RCL to inquire. The answer was NO, that this reward is only for RCL, which I really question. INC. to me includes ALL of the ships included in the RCL line. If I can use stockholder credits for RCL on Celebrity, why can't I use Coke Reward points? Doesn't sound fair to me. While I appreciate your point of view, I disagree with the reasoning. Royal Caribbean INC. is the parent company. Royal Caribbean Cruise Line, Celebrity, and Azamara are all wholly owned subsidiaries of the parent company and as such operate as individual companies. That means to me that just because one line has a program/promotion it doesn't mean that they all share the same promo. For example, on X you are allowed to bring wine on board while on RC no alcohol is allowed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willyguy Posted September 23, 2008 #125 Share Posted September 23, 2008 If you don't know about Coke's MyCokeRewards program, it is an award promo where you enter codes found on Coke products online for points. You save up the points to redeem for awards or use as sweepstakes entries. www.mycokerewards.com is the website. They have lots of rewards at many different price points, but the new one that might interest CC members is the 400 point Unlimited Soda Fountain package good for cruises of 7 days or less. If you are familiar with the soda sticker, you know how this will work on the ship. Details Other Royal Caribbean specific rewards available are the Diamond level Wine and Dine package for 1580 points and the Ultimate Romance Package for 6000 points. Woo Hoo FREE sodas for me Any new if they are going to keep this going promo going? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
