Got the survey two days ago and responded. I was curious that the first question asked what I considered to be luxury lines. and gave me about five lines to chose from. Problem was, two of the lines mentioned were (IMO) far from being luxury lines, and one I DO consider to have this status was left out. So I had some ammending to do! Other than that, the survey seemed useful. And on the same day, I received a RSSC mailing that actually contained cruise schedules and descriptions! Something the "image mailing" with the DVD sorely lacked. We retained this last mailing, instead of "trashing it" as we did the one with the DVD. And, today, I received ANOTHER RSSC mailing advertising a specific cruise. It seems like I receive an RSSC mailing about three times per week.
Folks, my wife Carol is running for our State House of Representatives -- for which she filed about two weeks ago. If I did not know before, I DO know now how expensive a direct mailing campaign can be! Some of her opponets have raised over $100,000 in contributions, while Carol has raised exactly $16.95 so far! So, as one with this matter staring him in the face, may I say that I wish RSSC would pull back a bit on both their direct mail ads AND their fares?
Thanks,
Richard
