Pat and I are interested in joining others in Prime 7 as well as in other venues, but I don't really understand about the Platinum priority business or process (we have well over 200 days). No one gave us priority on our last cruise, the Ft. Lauderdale to Reykjavik President's cruise on Voyager this past May, except that we were in a Penthouse and our butler did get us a last-minute change of nights in Prime 7 when we got an invite to dine with the captain that same night, just one day in advance. We did get two reservations in Prime 7 on the 14 day cruise, but so did lots of others, including at least one couple were not members of the Seven Seas Society - it was their first RSSC cruise. And we made our reservations about 2:30 PM on the cruise's embarkation day!
