After such a build-up of anticipation and expectations, I hope Radisson/Regent will present a program worthy of it's loyal following.

I don't expect a big "wowie" when they release the info so I won't be disappointed –

It could be much ado about nothing when it's finally unveiled.

Pressing would be a great reward for me!

It will be interesting to see what the benefits will be. Like others on this topic, I choose a cruise because I like the itinerary, price and the cruiseline although extra perks are nice.

RSSC really fouled up in abolishing their OLD set of past guest perks before announcing their NEW set of perks.

It better have credit for past pax!!!!

I am looking foward to the free internet and free laundry. I hope those benefits will be down around 100 days.

My SE and I want free internet

But I HATE the idea of priority reservations at the specialty restaurants.

I like the one catagory upgrade

Access to free internet or laundry services is not going to put anyone else at any "experience disadvantage." Seems like a good way to add value to past passengers.

I have no qualms being rewarded for my loyalty by getting priority in terms of reservations at restaurants.

I guess I would prefer still having the 5% off on all cruises

Yes, shipboard credit and additional savings would be good. I'm in favor of perks that are discreet and not blatant like preferred dining. Why alienate new passengers?

The category upgrades wouldn't work so well for us except on the Mariner (paying for a D and getting a C) as I never have seen any benefit of paying more to have the exact same cabin just to be one or two decks higher.

free laundry or internet use would be our first choices

Perk us up with some more discreet perks such as shipboard credit, category upgrades or a tin of caviar!!

I think the best perk is free cruise days...ala Seabourn after 140 days!

Only one I would really like is free internet

I think it would be much easier to do the shipboard credit, then you could apply it to whatever you wanted, internet charges, laundry and your bar bill!!
My idea of perfection would be catagory upgrades, %5 to 10% off future cruises and shipboard credit.

I would LOVE all inclusive and you all know I dont drink much but it takes all the stress out of "who pays" for the round.

a shipboard credit based on days sailed would be flexible enough that anyone could find a use for the perk

I believe priority reservations are a BAD idea,

I'd gladly pay the $140 for the week. All-inclusive would be great

I want a credit for the $140. I don't drink.

I do not have a multitude of nights with RSSC but I will be happy with any little extra I receive –

Now, to close, I think many of us (including me) have been hypocritical.

It's all about communication.

I called them just now and the answer was that it must be my server! Oh well. She also said the letters would go out at the end of the month. Does anybody know what's going on in that office??

Well here goes a stupid question, do they days count as a couple or individual???? I know how ridiculous that sounds, but until now i have never given a thought to "days on board", we always enjoy watching someone win the most days at the party.......but knew we would never be in the running.

Arlene, I would if I could! Tell me how, if it isn't too complicated. Thanks.

Perhaps the elimination of discounts on all cruises is preventing future increases or a lowering of quality? Until we do an analysis of cruise rates vs. competitors, we don't know if RSSC's program is really so poor.
