Cool Cruiser

Cool Cruiser (2/15)

  1. At last ! Applied on 3rd March for September Princess cruise, approved this afternoon. Some are 24 hours, others 11 days.
  2. Still waiting. Sent proof of ownership last Monday, accepted Wednesday with a note to allow up to 5 working days for OBC, Sep cruise, Sky Princess.
  3. Still waiting for confirmation. Some are getting very quick notification, others, mine submitted Monday, not so quick. They acknowledged my holding on Wednesday. Got to be patient !
  4. Yes, I found it very strange. My brother was a member and one of his daughters, neither responded. My sisters were not, it was my cousin James I found out about other family members. He has done a lot of research and traced my paternal ancestry back to the late 1700's, from the Rhonda, Wales. My great grandfather left in 1895 and settled in Ohio.
  5. Thanks Brian. I have traced a half brother and three half sisters on my fathers side. My brother has since died, my sisters haven't responded, but my cousin has. He filled in a lot of gaps and the stories he has told about my father and his war exploits have given me a warm feeling. No contact from my mothers side, many 3rd cousins ect but no closer and no leads.
  6. Having been on a similar journey I know the mixed emotions you are going through. Good luck. I am meeting a 1st cousin in June. He lives in Ohio and is visiting the UK with his wife. All done through Ancestry and DNA.
  7. Submitted my Carnival holdings statement to Stockperks on Monday, together with details of my Princess cruise in September. Had an acknowledgement very quickly, stating it would reply in two days, so hopefully today
  8. Carnival have a contract with Stockperks running until 31st December 24. A change of end date each year seems the likely answer, 31st Dec not 31st July.
  9. Thanks for an entertaining blog. I hope you enjoyed the cruise, apart from the aircon problems and a less than friendly Captain.
  10. Good news for me, cruising on Sky Princess in September.
  11. I should have known I couldn't debate with you . I'll move on.
  12. Well, I bought the shares at £5.30 and had £450 OBC and more to come. As for having to buy the cruise, what a silly comment.
  13. Totally disagree. I have had large OBC and the cruise price has not gone down that much but the OBC has. Examples are Azura in Jan this year, got a great price for a suite and £700 OBC + another £300 with shareholder and military OBC. Cruising next Jan. Iona 35 nights. £800 OBC + £300 and 10% discount when we booked on Arvia last September. Price is still way above what I paid. Got to be price savey.
  14. That sounds more positive. It was Moley's comment re not an agenda item which spooked me.
  15. I was tempted to sell today. Hope I don't regret it.
