I used points-$ combo, but am no Starwood celebrity, that's for sure. I think it must be something the "night shift" busies themselves with. Sounds like maybe they are moving in alphabetical order, as those who are saying they have not heard are toward the end of the alphabet.

Ha! Probably, Olivia. Marc, get in gear - you are going to meet the Rudi's! Hopefully Arlene has briefed you on us. :D
Not sure if we'll end up in the same cabin we originally booked across from you, as we're on a GTY. But it may very well be. Then...watch out!!!

We're all packed and just about ready! I guess we're the first ones out the door since we're doing B2B (Seabourn Spirit) We'll hook up with most of you on TUT on Oct. 2nd at the GB hotel/dinner.
Till then, happy traveling to all !

I now a lot of you have Platinum Amex, and that gives you SPG Gold level which allows you to get a room upgrade.. Also pretty sure that SPG Amex has this option as well.. We are so Jealous, would love to be with all of you.... We spent 4 days at the GB on our honeymoon back in 03 before boarding Voyager, just an amazing place and would never have to twist our arm to go back if the timing was right....... Cannot wait for all the reports to come in..

No call for us from GB either--maybe it is the alphabetical order thing. Last time we stayed there we got an email from them before we left. It's not that it's a big deal or anything--it just makes the trip seem closer :) Waiting, waiting... Marcie, have a great time--it'll be fun to hear about how you liked Seabourn.

Well I have to tell you that the final pin did not meet my expectations. It arrived yesterday.
We send that final draft in and most of the time they come out looking pretty much like we ask.
This one is too GOLD and not enough color. His beard is barely blue. You cannot read the words well TUT and the DATE they do not have that dark outline.
The interesting thing is the detail on the pin but it is not my favorite. Maybe it will grow on me.
55 people in the group.

JoAnn, yes, I got the call, same day as the others. but after the Mondaes and others before me in the alphabet. That's why I thought it was done in alphabetical order! I think it is more or less a sales call, actually!
Frank, thanks for the heads up about Plat. Amex being entitled to upgrade! I usually don't get lucky in that regard, but can always hope!
I LOVE this pin!

Just got our suite assignment! :banana: We're in 941. Scored a midship D after booking H guarantee at Ngaire's advice. THANKS, NGAIRE!
(Although, we'd have gladly bunked in the belly of the ship just to get on this trip! ;) )

Sounds great Ngaire - looking forward to the whole thing. Especially after yesterday.
But, Frank called UA today and upgraded us to First Class with miles, which may actually when all is said and done make it worth it! 777 triple class plane with the "suite seats". I might actually sleep for a couple of hours. :eek:

JoAnn, talk about turning lemons into lemonade! Congrats on your air. And okay, I'll get back to my cheerleading duties: :ch: :ch: :ch: :ch: :ch:
Question for someone whose brain is working better than mine -- Is the $400 cash you can get onboard the limit for the entire cruise? Or is it the limit for a single advance? As I'm trying to figure out how much cash to take, I am having a brain block on this detail.

The last 2 cruises we took we were limited to $800 with no fee (I guess $400 each?) . If we wanted more, they would have provided it for a fee (but I never asked how much the fee would be).

Thanks much, Cindy! I couldn't remember how the cash advance system worked, but I had $400 rattling around in my head. Good to know it is per person.
