cruisintomorrow Posted September 5, 2009 #102 Share Posted September 5, 2009 I emailed RCl and the reply was that the cut off for an invite was 100 cruise credits but that's a lie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crusinmama06 Posted September 5, 2009 #103 Share Posted September 5, 2009 Open Bar!!!! Free Booze!!!! I don't drink so all of that would be lost on me. ;):D I emailed RCl and the reply was that the cut off for an invite was 100 cruise credits but that's a lie. Yeah, that's a lie. They need to teach their customer service reps the art of claiming ignorance. Not being ignorant, literally. ;) The reps should be saying "Oh I am sorry, we have NO IDEA how the invites are being sent out. THat comes from a department hire up and we aren't privy to that info" INSTEAD of - the invites are going out to X number of cruises. Because we all know that's bs. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mommabean Posted September 5, 2009 #104 Share Posted September 5, 2009 I emailed RCl and the reply was that the cut off for an invite was 100 cruise credits but that's a lie. Maybe what they really meant was 100 cruise credits are needed for a guaranteed invite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruzingduo Posted September 5, 2009 #105 Share Posted September 5, 2009 I too called C&A, the cruise that they are contacting members for is on Nov 20th for 2 nights. They have started with those who have the most cruises. I suspect that these emails are coming from 2 different sorces. Especially since those posting here have been invited for a different date. Let's be patient and keep hoping we are contacted :) I spoke to C&A about something else today, then asked them again about the Oasis dates. I have to correct what I heard. I don't hear in my right ear and for some reason that's always where I use the phone. I heard incorrectly, the date I was really told was 11/27, not 11/20 as I previous posted. We're far down the list, so we have not been invited, however our fingers and toes are crossed too. :) Congrats to all those who are going!

texlatin1 Posted September 5, 2009 #106 Share Posted September 5, 2009 Hi there!! I got a phone call today to invite me on this sailing!!! I wasn't home at the time but as soon as I got the message I was jumping around crazie!!! I immediately went to check for the email they talked about, sure enough there it was. I am going to have to check my email more often!!! I called and confirmed as soon as my hubby got home and I told him. They said I would get another call in about 2 weeks to go over all details. A little about me. I am diamond members with 23 cruises completed, including the cruise I was married on in 2003. Best cruise ever!!! We have not sailed since December of 2007; we had a little girl shortly after and have not had the time!!! All I know about the sailing is its 2 nights and we are guaranteed a balcony. I have no clue how they picked ppl but the email was addressed to me and my husband as a couple. I am so excited to be going!! I have never been on a pre-inaugural cruise before and don't know what its going to be like!! If anyone can tell me about them I would love to know!!! Can't wait till 11/27 :D Mia Same here!!! Recieved email confirmation for guaranteed balcony although my dates are for 11/22/09, a week before Thanksgiving!!! So excited to go!!! Not entirely sure how I got picked but thankful that I was!!!

trixietx Posted September 5, 2009 #107 Share Posted September 5, 2009 We got an email invitation about a week ago and then a Rep. called this past Wednesday. It was for a balcony room on November 27th. We are farmers and that is during our harvest season so we can't go!!:mad: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skiiergirl Posted September 6, 2009 #109 Share Posted September 6, 2009 Congrats to all those that have received invites! However, my question is.....Prior to getting the invite for the "freebie" did you already have Oasis booked for another date? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, my question is.....Prior to getting the invite for the "freebie" did you already have Oasis booked for another date? Nope i DID NOT already book on oasis. or and other RCCL Ship for that matter. I have not cruised RCCL or any one else since December of 2007!!! it has been to long i know. maybe they are trying to get me going again. ;) Mia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

debandbill Posted September 6, 2009 #112 Share Posted September 6, 2009 Yeah...Bill and I are less than three hours from the port and we would be happy to test drive the Oasis! Oh, and we aren't to busy to go on short notice! Deb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cruiserccl Posted September 9, 2009 #115 Share Posted September 9, 2009 Maybe the invites are going to those who haven't cruised in a couple of years.

IWORK2CRUISE Posted September 9, 2009 #116 Share Posted September 9, 2009 Congrats to those who received invites! I guess RCCL can't locate my email address because I dont have an invite....:( Oh well. Maybe one cruise we will have some mysterious upgrade. Have a great time.

Host Kewlguy Posted September 9, 2009 #117 Share Posted September 9, 2009 It maybe has to do with how many times you cruise per year. According to post #56 being Diamond Plus doesn't seem to be a requirement for the invite. They also state they haven't cruised since December 2007. I think from the posts on this thread the company line about only those with 100 credits being chosen is baloney. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
