Olivia:

We have not sailed often, and are limited by vacation time. It will be a long time before Arlene and I catch up to you (Lawrence will pass us both by in the meantime). I agree with your point though about the rewards for loyalty. I fly Delta regularly and always stay in Hilton properties. There are a number of unpublished benefits that I have been the recipient of. I hope Radisson is the same.

As for reviews, I am not a fan of subjective reviews. However, I read them for the tidbits of facts; e.g., dolebludger's report on free cocktails at dinner. I think reviewers should also be required to report on the weather during their cruise. The cruise lines have learned that there is a high correlation between bad weather and bad cruise review. We should be privy to the same info.
