Peggy,thanks for the info. I do think it is a shame that the powers to be decided to start the tier program after the WC and SA one. What about the people who made reservations for cruises after the 2006 WC? They booked the cruises under the old system too but will get the benifits of the tier program.Maybe I am wrong, but it seems to me that the loyal world cruisers are being penalized for their past support.
