I have two areas in which I am somewhat confused about what has been announced concerning future Radisson policy and benefits.

First, I did receive my SSS letter, noted that I was a Gold member, and noted that one of my benefits would be two hours of free phone calls from the phone in my suite (or at least that's how I read it). On the PG, for example, the phone cost is somethiing like $15 per minute. So $120 minutes would be "worth" $1800, when priced out at the current rate. Am I misreading something about this benefit?

Second and finally, I noted that Platinum members received "complimentary alcohol". I presumed that meant open bar for them, as all of us already get the room bottles, and drinks ith dinner. Now I read on the thread concerning Mark Conroy's discussion on the PG that ALL guests will have open bar next year. Unless I misunderstand this benefit, isn't it rendered of no value if the ships become open bar?

Thanks,
Richard
