And Tricia did a good job of making it fair for everyone to get entries to the contest. I was so afraid itwould be the person with the most money or offers done would win. This is so winnable for anyone! I am so excited.

Trica, i have some questions, if you have not booked a curise yet, but do book one, do you still earn the ship board credits or is that only for those who had booked before the contest started! Question #2 if you have booked a curise can you win the curise or is that only open to those srs not allready booked!

I would love to win, but might not want to chance it and book sometime soon!

Everyone can still book the cruise up through next summer and even get our discount on the rooms...just not the initial rate. I'll have Cindy check with Gail to see what our next rate deadline is. And anyone can enter to win either the shipboard credits or the cruise itself at any time. I just ask that no one enter if they absolutely know that they would not go even if they won because then we would have to get an alternate.

If you book the cruise and you win the contest, we will pay you back what you paid on the cruise. Hopefully everyone is just putting down their deposits right now and not actually paying on them until next Spring. That way, we will just pay you your deposit back and then pay for the rest of the cruise for you.

I was just thinking about this after I registered. What if I can't go? What if partner dude says: We were JUST on the Magic at the beginning of September. We're going back on the Wonder in January '09. Do you really think we can go in October???

And I respond: Well, if I win, I'M going! Sorry if you're not!

Hmmmmmm.... think that'll ruin 21 years???

Good luck to all!

Daydream away. LOL!

1) You can pay extra if you want more than 2 people in your cabin. You could also pay the difference to upgrade to a different cabin. :)

2) The cruise contest itself is completely separate from earning the onboard credits. If you are a good cookie, you'll earn your $50 in credits and then get the cruise on top of it!

Okay say my DMIL (who is a SR member) wins the cruise -- could she "give" the cruise to my DH and I or would she have to be in the cabin? Just asking to see if I should tell her to enter or not -- she shops enough for both of us! lol

The member actually has to have the cruise in their name. It's non-transferrable.

Yes. Every person gets 1 just for entering. Then that page should update I think in the middle of the night when all of the shopping credits get done (like 4am?). If you don't see it move, let me know and I'll have SG look at it.

What is the page supposed to look like once we click to "register"? It's just taking me back to the same page, with no apparent changes. :confused:

Nevermind. I went back to my email, and magically there was an email about the Cruise (how weird is THAT, since I was just in my email!), clickety-clicked, and the page NOW states that I'm entered and have a few entries.

Magic.

I believe that your 10/3 survey was just updated to your account this morning. The cruise entry updates every 24 hours so you'll see the additional entry tomorrow.

Question about contest entries, Dose placing an order via an SR link for a site that pays 0% still count as an entry into the contest... AKA amazon.com because in reality this is still a shopping credit only at 0% right...

I wish we could. But Amazon won't even track who the individual purchases come from. They just give us a lump sum report each day.
