I just started a thread on the same subject. I received it also.

Yes...we just received the email a few minutes ago.

Peter

would love to go but will just be back from florida & we will be back home in Canada. would be kind of neat but oh well.

Are all of you booked on the Q?

We are booked on the Quantum and are Diamond Plus and we also received this email.

we are diamond plus & are booked for next march 2015.

I would expect that thousands received the email.

I just received this email as well but will not be in NYC those dates. I have colleagues who may be but it is not transferrable. Hopefully a CC member is able to attend and share the updates with us.

It is non-transferable... and I think it went to just about EVERYONE... :) I won't be attending...

I got one too, am D+, no booking on Quantum, and will not be attending.

We, too, are D+ and received the invitation. However, we also are not able to attend. I'd love to get feedback from any who attend! Have fun!

We are not booked on Quantum, either.

We got the invitation, too. We just turned diamond plus and are booked on Quantum 4/12/15. Wish it weren't in the middle of the week, I'd try to go. But, hey, we both have these dang jobs...

We are Diamond Plus and have not received an invitation e-mail. We haven't booked the Quantum, but are eager to book Anthem when it starts sailing from Ft Lauderdale.

MY GOODNESS! I just checked my e-mail and lo and behold! The invitation is there. It wasn't there ten minutes ago. Unfortunately we will be on a cruise on March 26, so we cannot attend.

According to an article in this months AAA magazine there will be 10 dining options.

That is a lot of options. Years ago I was against the pay to eat venues but as the food got worse and the service slower in the MDR (due to servers having too many tables) I jumped on board. Now we rarely go in the MDR.

I guess I don't mind paying extra for MUCH better food and better service because the price of a cruise today is actually lower than it used to be back in the day.

And remember, they don't force you to pay to eat. They still have the MDR, Windjammer, Room Service and on most ships the Promenade Cafe and Pizza Place.

In my opinion, a cruise is still a good value for the $$$ on Royal Caribbean.

We got it.
