We got a new Society newsletter yesterday - personalized with our name on the front. Inside it had a thank you letter on the inside front cover from MC thanking us for our latest cruise on the PG - so it's a bit behind since that was over a year ago and we are just off WAVE.

On the inside back cover is our account summary through 5/31 with a list of cruises we've taken. Also is information on how to access your SSS page on the internet via www.RegentSociety.com

To access the page you need your member number and your zip code.

The inside pages have promo info for the hotels and some of the discounted sailings for SSS members, including a special price for our MUSH sailing.

Dang, I can't log in yet even though I used my Society number. It says my number isn't valid, lol.

Is your society number included in the mailing?

Eugene

Ditto here, Karen, and double checked # from elsewhere.

Eugene, the SS # is included in the acct. summary on the inside back cover.

Karen:

I had same problem. I found out what was our SSS numbers are now our Client Numbers. I called RSSC, gave them the client number, and she gave my correct SSS number.

It is not really worth going to site. All the links just go back to rssc.com and some of the links don't even work right (e.g., if you click on "Member Benefits" you are taken to "Ships" page).

That doesn't sound like much fun! I guess I can wait til I get my mailer to find out what the "correct" SSS number is, lol.

The one on the mailer doesn''t work! and according to Marc, not worth it anyway.

Once again, much ado about "nothing" from RSSC??

I found the initial SSS mailing, with the tier information in it. The number printed on that one worked for me.

My number worked but I had a question about the number days we had. I emailed and got an automatic reply saying it would take 6-8 weeks for the answer.

After I came off the ceiling, I just decided to wait it out and lo and behold - the next day I had a very complete answer. They were correct, I was not by the way.

Also, Rose Clarke - who emailed - confirmed that there are 400+ full world cruisers.

All the society numbers changed. There was a period of mass confusion and if a booking was made in a certain way the system kept adding a new number. It is settling down now but your "old" society number may no longer be your current society number.

We received our mailer just a few moments ago. I see one number for Alan; one for me. Can I assume that both numbers equate to our household account?

Tom and I show the exact same amount of nights, as it should...no combining here Denise.

Our mail just arrived...Regent Tropics, Winter 2006-2007 addressed to me and Antarctica 2007 addressed to Tom. Nothing personalized like Kathy is talking about though.

Clarification. The "Member" numbers in the mailer may be different from the "Society" numbers the reservation system uses for discounts.

Not sure what you mean by Household Account Denise. I equate that to gold points that are householded. Each individual person has a separate society number and I assume a different member number.

So the member number in the back of the mailer may be different from your regular society number. Only people who have received that society newsletter can access this area of the web using their member number in the back of the mailer and then using their zip code. This will bring up your history.

If you do not get this mailing of the society newsletter it is probably because at some point you identified that you did not want to receive mailings and when you do that NO mailings are sent. Of course all mail does not arrive on the same day either so just wait a few days and see if you get the mailing.

I used the member # that was on the "Seven Seas Society Membership Statement" that came with the mailing that first came out months ago when they told us our status. Worked for me, as I have not received the newest mailing.

Sorry to confuse Society number and Goldpoints number/Household account, Ngaire. My mind is muddled.

The mailer we received had both Alan's and my Society numbers and list of cruises/nights and tier level.

I don't see a SSS # on the one we got. The inside of the last page has all of our tier info and a member #, which the verbage says is what you use to access the SSS page on the website. The Society Summit Crossing 4 Nov looks really nice and it has free luggage shipping from home-home. Also the President's cruise has a 2 night post-cruise stay at the new Regent Berlin for only $299/per. However, it's too close to the WC.

We never have gotten any mailings - assuming we are on the "no mailings" list, how does one change that and get on the "yes mailings" list?

I will contact you Leslie and tell you how to do that.

Are you automatically enrolled in the Seven Seas Society after your first sailing? If so, how do you get your number? If not, how do you enroll?

Also, what is the "gold points" some of you are referring to?

Thanks....from a first time Regent cruiser 7/12/06.

Carol

Carol,
Ngaire (or whoever your TA is)will take care of it. I don't remember doing anything ?? I think Ngaire signed us up. Gold Points can really add up and you'll definitely want to get those. We got $400 off MUSH because of our Gold Points.

I let Ngaire do all that work - thank goodness

I still don't understand...who are the gold points from? I know we didn't sign up for anything like that. I'd best check with my TA re the society membership.
Thanks,
Carol

Carlson companies runs the gold point program. This is the company that owns Regent cruises.

www.goldpoints.com

Go to the site above and sign yourself up - both you and your tavelling companion need to get separate numbers. Then be sure to "household" your two accounts together. This way you can merge your goldpoint accounts for faster accumulation. Remember which account of the two you make "primary".

Then call your TA and give her the number and she will enter it in your records. It must be given to Regent and put in your files.

When you accumulate points you can redeem them through your TA for discounts off future cruises. Simply watch your balances to know when to claim an redemption. When you claim it is important to tell your TA or Regent that you are householded and claim on the PRIMARY card number if you wish to merge your points for an award.

If you are not householded and do not use the primary card to make your redemption then it will not work.

Regent does not do this for you - it is up to you or your TA to enroll you in the program.

Below is a link with more information.

The society program - all Regent guests are automatically enrolled after their first cruise. You do not need to do anything to become a society member

Glad you got in Olivia. Some have different numbers and some do not. Always worth a try!

Mine says "kids sail free" on the August 30 Alaska sailing

Jean: Schools go back early these days. Remember it was after Labor Day for years? No more, kids here go back Monday. Not sure about other states, though. My guess is we'll have very few kids over the age of kindergarten (unless they are home schooled) - Joanna

It is "Kids Sail Free" for most of the Alaska season so most parents will sail during the summer months.

Joanna is right almost all kids will be back in school by then (why we picked that date specifically) and if any State does go back late going a trip right before school starts when you have dates earlier to select is unlikely.

So dont worry I dont think there will be many kids on the ship.

We have not received the new SSS mailing yet, but I too, as Olivia was able to access by using the member# from our statement. No. of nights are correct.

Jean
I was also concerned about the "Kids Free" promo on our June sailing, but was not a problem. There were children but they were very well behaved. Better than alot of adults that I've seen.

Tried the # today and it worked.

Most schools up north don't go back till after labor day.

Monday September 4th is labor day. So even those that go back late cannot be on our August 30th cruise.

Wow, such a personal book. I'm impressed. Although two voyages were omitted, the total points is correct. Looking forward to meeting many board members on Princess Key, Jan. 10th. when we start our Amazon cruise and the world tour starts from FLL on the same day.

Neviboy, our number of nights show our overall nights cruising with Regent and is correct. The list of cruises is from Nov. 2005 to April 2006 (sort of a six month update list). I don't think they intended to list every cruise we've ever sailed although they could have made that clearer. Anyway, that's the way I read it.

The brochure is good, facts are right. Here's my thumbs up for a Regent step in the right direction!

Ours is completely cuckoo; they have me in platinum and Clyde as Gold?? But Clyde says let's wait and see what they put in our suite!! He's wondering when I got to go without him :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes: ;) ;) ;) ;)

Forgot to add: don't mind about kids aboard, just didn't think our cruise included that offer. Our grandkids go back afteer Labor Day in NJ. Down here they've already gone back! Poor kids, in this heat.

Jean, our first one was cuckoo too! They had Tom and I both as Platinum but I had something like 200 more days than Tom :eek: (and he just thought I was visiting my Mom or sister ...little did he know I was cruising :D )

It was easily fixed with a phone call to RSSC. We haven't received this latest mailer everyone is talking about.

Trouble is, Marcie, I like being Platinum!! (Even thought I didn't earn it! :D We'll straighten it out when we get on the ship and see where they place us <img border="0" alt="[vhappy]" title="" src="graemlins/icon_vhappy.gif" /> <img border="0" alt="[vhappy]" title="" src="graemlins/icon_vhappy.gif" />

I don't blame you....spread the word, drinks are on Jean!

Marcie,
I am glad to know that I am not the only one on LCT that did not receive the mailer. I did get a thank you note for my trip last month on the Navigator.
Lynn
