Okay I finally caught up with this thread (and my USPS mail box).

First of all, I think we all agree that the "enhancements" are anything but...they did all this fancy surveying in the last few months, for this? Geez, there should be some free cruises or cruise nights once you hit Platninum, at least! (and give the golds some free nights!).

Personally, I have used the free phone as Silver on our May 06 Alaska cruise, had never used it before but it was great to be able to call home and talk to the girls every other day or so. So I for one like the free phone (and used every minute of it!). and of course the free internet

But really, the program is a joke, and no real eyegetters (e.g. free cruise/free cruise nights for the heavy sailers) What about category upgrades (based on availability of course) for everyone once you hit silver??

I'm all for the grassroots campaign!! Sign me up!!

Perhaps travel cannot prevent bigotry, but by demonstrating that all peoples cry, laugh, eat, worry, and die, it can introduce the idea that if we try and understand each other, we may even become friends ~~M. Angelou~~
