alg18,
I don't know where my manners are but for what is worth, Bien venidos. You will find alot of valuable information from all these guys. They make the waiting on your cruise bearible. You will have to meet GC, he knows all about the Napa area. Again, welcome.

Nica,

No worries. I have to admit I'm a little bit confused about why you thought you forgot your manners. Are you the administrator? And, who are "these guys?" I assume you're referring to the people answering questions on this chat site? Anyway, who is GC? You say I will meet GC on the cruise?

GC (goin cruizin) is the hands down resident expert on wines! I think he mentioned he is busy with traveling at the moment and will be on and off for a bit. Definately has experience and knowledge of the wine industry from his experience.

oops...mispell here..."cruisin" not cruizin.

Thank you carlg, you made it clear for me.
alg18,
From reading the posts in the last few weeks, I would say GC is hands down the conniseur in wines.
No I am not an administrator. I believe Dave Beers and Raoul F. are, not sure who else. From what I gather, they navigate the site and make sure that all the post are in the proper place ie. a port question to be in that folder as opposed to being on this folder (RCI). If something gets posted where it should not have been, they end that thread and send it where it belongs. Hope this helps.

Thanks. That does help.

Also, Gold member coupon books include 2, 2 for 1 price cocktail coupons and a discount on your 2nd purchased bottle of wine.

On another matter, we sailed Celebrity in 2004 and have tried on several occassions to get our cruise counted towards RCI Crown and Anchor to no avail. We tried, unsuccessfully, to meet with a rep to discuss this matter as we recently heard that RCI was looking into this seriously. Has anyone heard rumors?

When you sail with Celebrity you get the same C&A perks as you do when you sail with Royal Caribbean. However, your cruise credit doesn't go toward a Royal Caribbean cruise. The same goes for those who sail a lot on Celebrity and come over to Royal Caribbean. They had this policy for about two years. Before that you didn't get any C&A perks when you sailed on Celebrity.

Thanks SONNYV, I will not pursue this matter at this point after your explanation. Nice to know that we will get Q & A on Celebrity should we choose them in the future.
