Scott L:

As far as the exact wording on the Thanksgiving card from Radisson, I was merely paraphrasing the wording of a card I had read and thrown away days before my post. I believe you are correct that the exact wording was a tier announcement would be made in "the upcoming months" --- which, in "corporate speak" means about the same to me as the term "in the near future". To me, when a corporate communication fails to give a more exact time frame, the true meaning is "don't hold your breath!"

I too feel that the delay in this announcement bodes ill for Radisson. In the past three to four years, we have cruised Radisson a really excessive number of times. People have asked why. My response has been "they are offering deals that are too good to last" in terms of what you get vs. what you pay. Well, now, prices are up considerably, "specials" are fewer and farther between, and the scope of SSS benefits cannot be determined. At least one "die hard Radisson fan" (me) has put future bookings on this line "on hold" until this matter becomes clear.

Thanks,
Richard
