OMG!! Oasis Invite!!

Recommended Posts

Curiosity just got the better of me so I called crown and Anchor. I was told they are starting with the people with the most cruises and working their way down the list. I mentioned that can't be so since diamond members are reporting on cruise critic that they were invited and they are only diamond members. YOU WON'T BELIEVE HIS ANSWER..............He said they must all be lying because it's going down the list from high to low on how many cruises you have. I'm still trying to digest that response.

I'm curious why diamond members are invited and not D+, any explanations?

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 :)

Not so true..........friend of mine got an invite for Nov 27th....he's on that list of those with most cruises..

 

I have been hearing so many conflicting stories.......who the heck knows the truth...........maybe just the higher ups at RCCL...........I wouldnt quite believe what a C and A rep tells you..

They are evidently going by # of cruises, not C&A cruise credits. A D member could have more cruises than a D+ who gained credits by booking suites and/or longer cruises.

I wish they would invite me or even just invite me to peek at the oasis in the ship yard as I live less then a HOUR away from where she is being built... heh guess diamond plus status doesnt do that either :P a guy can hope

 

I just wanted to mention that my daughter visited and fell in love with your country this summer! She spent some time, with friends, in Helsinki and surrounding areas (as well as some time in Amsterdam which she also adored). But she was so enchanted with your locale that she is looking into relocating to the area in the future.

I'm still waiting for my invite. Did I mention that we will be getting off the Nav TA a few days before these pre-inaug. cruises? And that I can modify my trip north on JetBlue real cheap? And that we will have 20 credits after the Nav TA. And that.................

We are also waiting, and waiting and waiting . . . Did we mention that we have Air already booked to FLL several days prior to our Dec. 1 Oasis sailing? We can do a Consecutive Cruise on Oasis, no problem. And we are at, after Majesty in two weeks, 28 credits. And, after Oasis, another four cruises booked.

Good luck to all of us!

Oh Heck! I just called C&A tonight to see what they'd say and they have no clue (or so they say they have no clue). I'm bummed that the line drawn is at 20+, as I am always right at the bubble. Just when I think I'll have it, it's gone to someone else higher up. BUMMER. I would just about do ANYTHING to be on that Nov. 27 sailing. That's my birthday!!!! I wanted to do it with a B2B Dec 1 sailing. BUMMER!!!!!! HELP ANYONE! :):):):):):)
