Congratulations winners!

Preliminary winner from PALM - June 7 Paul Gauguin

What a nice welcome to a new couple to Regent Dan and Jane Fischer of Toronto who are celebrating their 35th anniversary!

Ngaire, can you insert our B2B pin under the list of preliminary winners? I now have so many nice wall magnets for the ship! The last morning when I was packing last minute stuff, one of those little round magnets I could not get off the wall! Tough little buggers!

Olivia, I don't think I have the B2B pin picture yet, as soon as Ngaire sends it to me, I will post it for you.

They were tough/tight little devils - I am thinking they'll pull the finish off of my fridge -

Sorry about how tough they were but I had to order new POOCH pins because the magnets were smaller and not strong enough. I guess moderation in magnets is something is that is beyond the manufacturers abilities!!

They work and that's what counts - nothing falling off my fridge held by a B2B magnet

Oh, I'm not complaining, Ngaire, I love them! Just that I wished I could have gotten the last one off the wall! My fridge has a wood front, so don't think I can use them there anyway. But I LOVE them in the cabins. The employees on the ships love them, too! Sort of a "badge" of recognition!

Olivia, I posted a picture of the B2B pin in the escorted 2008 cruise message. Here are the pooch pins:

Oh look, a Pooch Winner pin!! Something to strive for...

Olivia, not to worry with your wood front refrigerator. Your front door and door into garage are likely steel. You can put your cruising magnets on one of them and every time you walk out you can pretend that you are going on another cruise.

I am looking forward to receiving the new "red" pin in the mail. I just hope it doesn't arrive the same day as a credit card or a music CD. :D

My pooch pin magnet is in the washing machine or down the drain. You would think that even a weak magnet would stick to the sides of a washing machine.

Or that you could take it off your shirt before your wife does laundry! :rolleyes:

On your side Arlene but we have "3" B2B magnets and I'll send you one if it would help you :rolleyes:

Preliminary winners from Caviar

BO and Meredith
John and Christina
Scott and Niki
Dick and Sharon
Doug and Andi
Walter and Nancy

Can you make a Pooch magnet with 'forever trying' (as my Dad used to say "very trying") or 'learner' on it? Lee

Why have there been no more preliminary winners since July?

I am not sure but I would guess because CAVIAR in July was the last escorted cruise?

SAMBA - Cape Town to Rio - will be last one this year.

Oh?

Ardis, it their one you think we are missing? Here is the list of 2008 escorted cruises: ICE, MAYAN, CAMEL, B2B, PALM, CAVIAR

My error. Ngaire seems to be gone a lot and I assumed that all were escorted trips.

Yes, Ardis, Ngaire does seem to be gone alot. Only her Regent group cruises qualify for the chance for a free cruise. A lot of her being away is to do stuff aside from Regent, like taking us to Africa on ROAR in September, an unbelievable schedule with a gazillion of her clients being there, then she's going to Europe before next group cruise on the Navigator to check out another River Cruise company, and then on to Cape Town to meet her clients for a mix between land and sea packages! (GAME & SAMBA). We are lucky she is "gone a lot" looking out for her clients! I hope on my next cruise I get my name drawn for the free cruise she offers for 2009!

Not been on a ship since July Ardis, and definitely in Regent cruise withdrawal. Looking forward to boarding the Navigator in Cape Town. This is of course after seeing the wild dogs!

We will be drawing the winner of the 2009 cruise on this upcoming trip.

It just doesn't seem possible it has been so long, Ngaire. Time goes by so quickly for me. The Navigator trip is one Stan and I were booked on but had to cancel due to circumstances here at home. Talk about Regent withdrawal!

Ardis

I guess we are going to have to wait for dinner to be over before we learn the winner. :(

Unless the winner has already been notified and would like to let the rest of us know. :D

Going to do this later on during the cruise. Once we get to sea I will figure out a time and place we can do it privately. Promise to post as soon as we know the winner.

Well we have a new winner for 2009. I have sent an email to contact the people who won and wont post their names until I have had confirmation that they know.

This is a very active and nice LCT couple so I am delighted with the outcome of the drawing.

Stay tuned maybe they will post when they receive my email.

We Won!!! :banana: :banana:

Amazing. We are so overjoyed!

Who can we thank for pulling our name out of the champagne bucket?

Congratulations to Marc and Arlene! That is great news, we are very excited for you. What are you going to choose?



Dena

This is just GREAT NEWS!! Congrats to you both! :woh:

CONGRATULATIONS!!!!! That is so special!
A well deserving couple! Can't wait to hear what you choose. :app: :app:

You won the LCT jackpot! I'm happy for you both!

Congrats Marc & Arlene! :)

Captain John McNeill was the man you have to thank for picking your name. Here is a photo of the drawing on the Seven Seas Navigator. Now off to POOCH!!!

Indeed, we did win the LCT jackpot. Absolutely unbelievable. Marc came in to tell me and he was smiling so much I honestly thought he was kidding until I went and read Ngaire's email for myself. We are so excited! Right now we have no idea what we will choose. We don't know yet where we will be living next year so we don't know what will work yet. We are in Huntsville now, but should know in a few weeks if that is going to be permanent or if we will be moving to Brussels Belgium. Obviously that will factor heavily into our decision. We are in Florida now with my Mother for the holiday and will have a lot to talk about now on the long drive home tomorrow.

:lct: :lct: :lct:

(This is Arlene... didn't realize I was on Marc's account)

Congrats Marc and Arlene!!!!!!!

Nancy

Congratulations Marc & Arlene! This morning at the drawing we were all praying the winner would be someone from LCT so needless to say we were all thrilled for you!! Way to go! Maybe you can go on the Viking cruise in May on the Voyager with us that ends up in Southampton? It's going to be a great trip.

Marc and Arlene, congratulations! Like Marcie said, we were hoping for an lct person to win, and you had a cheering squad present when you did, even though lots of us lct people in the room were "in the bucket" for a chance at winning!

Congratulations Marc and Arlene! All the best.
