I decided to find out what was going on. I contacted the person who would know for sure in Fort Lauderdale this morning and the official and correct answer is .....12.31.08.

All the certificates are supposed to be good until the date that Joann is being told. So the letters received had the WRONG date.

Actually this surprises me as normally it is good the end of the following year. Not sure why they extended it out an extra year?

So that applies to everyone who has a letter dated 12/31/07 this is now good until 12/31/08.

I am sure everyone will apply these on their first available cruise which is most likely going to be in 2007. Nice to know that you have that much time if you need it.

Go Joann - you had this one right!!!!
