New RCI Loyalty Program - Will Carnival step up?

[MrPete]

[quote name='martinchem']Carnival hasn't hired a research company to do surveys of the past cruise loyalty program for no reason, [/quote]

They may be the ones behind the lengthy on line surveys they sent out this past spring.

I say ... KEEP MY FARES LOW, and keep the smoked mirrors.

[quote name='2thesea']I don't understand WHY CCL doesn't give a past guest gift when you arrive in your cabin? RCCL and Disney both have gifts in the cabins of their past guests. Disney also offers VIP boarding for Castaway Cay Member (their past guest program) and lanyards for each past guest when you check in. In the cabin on my last Disney Cruise in Feb we recieved, a very nice beach bag, inside there were 2 stainless water bottles and candy, the next day we recevied luggage straps and more candy.

RCCL ~ cruise last January 2009, we each received tote bags :)

I think Carnival could give a little something![/quote]

RCCL and Disney both cost quite a bit more than CCL.
What you 'think' they are [I]giving[/I] you, you are actually [I]paying[/I] for.

OR
Raise ther fares a bit and get back to better food and service, but still keep the smoke and mirrors and leave them to Royal.
