138.0. "RCCL special offer" by ATSE::FLAHERTY (Evolving, not revolving) Thu Jul 20 1989 18:56

    Have any past RCCL cruisers received this special offer in the mail.
    A friend told me last night that had received a flyer from RCCL that
    offered 1st passenger pays full price, 2nd goes half price on either
    The Souvereign of the Seas or Song of America for any cruise in
    September, October, or November 1989.
    
    I've sailed on the Souvereign but didn't get this mailer.  I'd
    like further information as it sounds interesting.

138.1Hope this helps.MUTT::DANIELDAN SODERQUIST DTN 441-2767Mon Jul 24 1989 14:0113
    Ro,
    
    We received the flyer last month. The deal sounds very good and we
    would have taken advantage of it, but we are already scheduled for the
    Norway cruise in Dec.
    
    I would suggest you contact your travel agent to check with RCCL about
    your eligibility for this offer.
    
    Hope you get to go.

138.2It's a good deal when you look at it.FRSBEE::COOPERSat Aug 05 1989 00:0212

    	Yes my wife and I received a similar offer a month ago.  We're
    going with the DEC group on the S.S. NORWAY in December so we didn't
    take advantage of this offer.  Just out of courisity, I compaired
    the RDDL offer and the Offer we're getting from NCL and the
    came out pretty much the same.  I'd say you can lose on RCCL
    but I'll be better informed after I get a look at NCL's service.

138.3Another RCCL dealATSE::FLAHERTYNothing is by chance!Wed Oct 25 1989 12:1820
    Just received a 'copy' of a flyer in the mail from Just Cruises in San
    Francisco regarding an offer RCCL is giving on the Viking Serenade
    (formerly Admiral Cruises' Stardancer) for 7-night cruise to the
    Mexican Riviera (with free air fare to LA) starting Jan 27, 1990
    through May 12, 1990.  Since I've been calling around trying to find a
    cruise for the NH February school vacation, this deal appeals to me. It
    turns out to be $1,000 less for 3 people than any of the other
    discounts I've been looking at. 
    
    Having sailed this same cruise when it was the Stardancer and really
    enjoyed it, I figure it should be even better now that RCCL has taken
    over.  I booked reservations, however my agent told me that RCCL has
    just started the mailing of these brochures to all former passengers
    of both RCCL and Admiral which I need to get the discount.  Having
    sailed on both lines, I should be on their mailing list.  Has anyone
    received this brochure yet?

    re: .3
    
    What is the fare range and where can "I" get a flyer you described?
    My wife and I are looking for our first cruise experience. Does
    this include the air fare, too? We live in NH, too.
    
    Thanks,

138.5addt'l infoATSE::FLAHERTYNothing is by chance!Thu Oct 26 1989 14:4017
    Hi Mike,
    
    I think the offer is extended to former passengers only.  Don't know
    if you could get in on it, but it wouldn't hurt to try!  The toll
    free number of Just Cruises is 800-331-SHIP.  You can mention my name
    if you want as they know me because they don't get a lot of customers
    from NH.
    
    Yes, airfare is included.  The price starts at $1095 (I think), the
    second person would be half that price and the third and or fourth
    person would be $645 each (plus port taxes which I think are about $76
    per person).
    
    Good luck...

138.6No flyer yet...DECWET::APPELLOFThu Nov 23 1989 22:464
    I haven't received the flyer yet, and I just sailed on the Stardancer
    (before change to RCCL) this past summer to Alaska.

138.7squeaky wheel...ATSE::FLAHERTYNothing is by chance!Sat Nov 25 1989 17:3012
    My travel agent pushed for them to locate my records and they
    finally sent me a flyer.  We're booked for the NH February school
    vacation - can't wait!!!!  They will be sending some information
    regarding add-on pacakages for a couple of extra days in LA.
    
    Kathy, if you're interested in going - I'd have your travel agent
    call and tell them you we're waiting for the brochure but never
    received it.  I'm sure they'd allow it even though the Nov 15th
    deadline has past.

138.8neat add-on packageATSE::FLAHERTYNothing is by chance!Tue Jan 09 1990 13:5616
    Recently received the add-on information.  There were four choices:
    a Disneyland package, a Universal Studio package, a San Francisco 
    package, and a Queen Mary/Spruce Goose/Disneyland package.
    
    We decided to take the Queen Mary package for 3 nights because it was 
    the least expensive but also we thought it would be interesting to
    stay aboard yesterday's most beautiful cruise ship.  The package 
    icludes a first class cabin on the Queen Mary; Shipwalk and Spruce
    Goose tour, taxes, porterage, 3 day-car rental and admission to
    Disneyland.  We figured we could take in the other sights on our own
    since the car is included.
    
    We leave February 24 and return March 6.  Will report when we return.

138.9Just came back from cruise/add-on pkg.DOMO::WESSELSThu Jan 18 1990 15:0113
    I/we went on the Song of America from January 7 to the 14th (last
    week!).  We also did the Walt Disney package add-on and flew into
    Orlando from Miami for three days.  We stayed at the Hilton in Walt
    Disney Village.  We did not need a car as their is bus service from
    right in front of the hotel to each of the 3 parks.  It runs every 20
    minutes - we never waited more than 5 or 6 minutes, though and the
    Hilton is the first stop going to the parks and the first stop dropping
    off on the return trip.  The buses are brand new and very clean.
    The Hilton was clean and the room was spacious.  There are 6
    restaurants in the hotel - all types and costs.  I would not hesitate
    taking this add-on package again.
