TERubacky Posted August 21, 2009 #1 Share Posted August 21, 2009 Dear All, watch this space over the weekend as we will be announcing the finalists among the new itinerary ideas that were submitted. Once they are posted, you can begin voting in the poll to decide the winners! I must say that all the itineraries were very creative and it was really tough to pick the finalists for consideration.

CintiPam Posted August 21, 2009 #2 Share Posted August 21, 2009 Thank you for the update. It was so much fun reading the entries as they were posted, and I look forward to reviewing and voting on the finalists' itineraries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Druke I Posted August 21, 2009 #3 Share Posted August 21, 2009 While you are at it, how about releasing deck plans for Marina, and also release info on booking Marina's first trans-Atlantic? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hondorner Posted August 21, 2009 #4 Share Posted August 21, 2009 Dang nab it -- I knew this would happen. We're leaving early Sunday morning for an Alaska cruise, and I don't like to spend the money on shipboard internet to just browse and read. Maybe I can get logged on at one of the ports. How long will the voting take place? I hope it will be at least long enough to let me vote on 9/1/09... Maybe they'll be posted by Saturday night? :cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StanandJim Posted August 21, 2009 #5 Share Posted August 21, 2009 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QtOMCWDQE3k May we suggest the above tune as the theme song for the contest?

fjdelrio Posted August 22, 2009 #7 Share Posted August 22, 2009 Dear HONDORNER Had you chosen Oceania or Regent for your NEXT cruise, I would have gladly given you FREE internet access onboard (at least for a day or so) so you could keep up with the contest.

Maybe they'll be posted by Saturday night? :cool: I was on an Alaskan cruise several years ago, when my daughter-in-law was expecting. I was able to get free internet acceses, to see if there was any news, at the public library in every Alaskan port . I remember them all being within walking distance of the port. (I don't remember why I didn't just use a cell phone...) It looks like we are just missing you in Alaska. We will be on the Mercury on September 13th!

xmbs Posted August 24, 2009 #21 Share Posted August 24, 2009 oh well, I wish it would have been on the weekend, would have given me a chance to see the finalists, I'm off on my travels in a couple of hours (not a cruise) to Athens of all places (at least initially - going to pelion and the sporades afterwards) No doubt once I'm back in 3 weeks everything will be done and dusted. Still there's a tiny hope there'll be a nice surprise when I get back I suppose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul, me culpa - in looking back at my post, yes, I did mean NEXT weekend. The polling will then start on September 1 and go through Sept 30th.
