Thanks for bringing this to everyone's attention, Marc. A great service to our community!

RSSC is not alone in rethinking how they market their vacation product to new and repeat customers. That said, my knee-jerk reaction is I've been lucky enough to sail on RSSC but the best of those times is behind me. I'm growing jaded about what RSSC is telling their passengers. What possible "enhancements" to the SSS will equate to the discounts and early booking opportunities we have up until recently enjoyed? I hope to be pleasantly surprised when they decide to let us in on the secret. Until then, I'm inclined to NOT book any additional cruises. It's too much of a hassle already to book, rebook, etc. as the deals keep changing.

As always, this needs to be compared to one's "next best alternative" in making vacation decisions. I hope for all of our sake's they will offer an equally attractive package vis a vis their competition in coming years. Cheers, Anne
