Karen:

You have referred me to the LONG thread concerning who has received their SSS letters. I can't guarantee that I've read every post there, but I have followed the thread. What a hoot! :D For some odd reason, Carol and I received our SSS letters some time ago, and all the info thereon was actually correct! But not necesarily understandable, given the extreme potential value of the phone benefit, to somebody like me with ill and elderly relatives at home. Can that be "for real?" I didn't see a post on that thread addressing this. Also, I didn't see a post on that thread addressing the Platinum members' "complimentary alcohol" benefit in light of apparent plans to take the ships "open bar" in '07. What a mess.

Thanks,
Richard
