It makes the world go round: supply and demand.

Advertising gets more and more clever and subtle and ‘off-the-wall.’

I love it all!!!

Ladies, I went through that too with Carnival and I sent in a picture of me standing in front of the Jubilee as proof of sailing, and they accepted that. They were very nice to deal with.
John: Keep forgetting to congratulate you on that article about you, by Anita Dunham Potter…really nice job. Also the article in the new Currents magazine was great too. You are getting to be quite the celebrity these days…I keep saying that OPRAH, or RACHEL RAY, or maybe ELLEN DE GENERES, any of them or even better all of them, should have you on their shows as the newest “Sensation” of the cruise industry. Readership, and Comments would skyrocket even more by the next day!!!!!!!!!!!! Carnival would explode with all the extra customers!!!!!!!!! Other Cruise lines, What other cruise lines???????? Here’s another great idea, write a book, then go on a Book tour promoting it, just like Barbara Walters and Valerie Bertinelli just did. Just some thoughts…

One more suggestion…
is the Travel Agent she used still in business?

Sometimes they will have old records that can be used to verify.

Like I said, all we did was fax copies of the Embarkation pictures. (except the very first cruise) They accepted a Kodak picture of David in front of a ship and a copy of a luggage tag for that one. Don’t ask me why we still had one of the luggage tags????

Also, if you use a PVP, then enlist their assistance.
Our PVP was willing to help in any way he could.

Good Luck~!!~

I also had my Carnival history updated from the ’80′s. Luckily I still had some documents, and I did send the embarkation photos as well. So I now have my platinum status.

And, if I didn’t dislike all the hassle of flying to ports, now American Airlines has convinced me to only cruise out of New York. They are now charging for luggage – not a second or third bag, but your first bag. How do you go on a cruise with just a carry-on piece of luggage???? I’m waiting for the other airlines to do the same. So let’s add it up – charging for all luggage, charging for curbside check-in, no meals served, increased prices, flight delays, fuel surcharges. What’s left?

Sorry to hear about the Dell. I think you had a good long run with it. I know my sister’s family has a few from Dell and have had a few minor problems that were taken care of. Not major enough for them to go to a MAC. So good luck with whatever you choose.

Catch ya later,

The turtles are already advertising RCL.

That’s why their shells resemble a climbing wall!
