Ray,

I know you make your commission from Princess and don't want to
alienate them, however, it is really the customer booking that is
ultimately paying your commission. If agents like you were to make
Princess aware that this change is unfair, maybe it would have a
greater impact on the corporarte thinking. I understand their feeling
that a few people abuse the access, but, $75.00 for a 7 day crusie,
and $100 for an 8-20 day cruise is not a fair equation. The 16 day
cruise I am going on gets $25.00 more credit for 9 additional days.

We are in fact a group of 59 passengers that does cruises once every
year or so. I know our agent will be looking at other cruise lines
for our next cruise. I have 19 cruises so far with Princess. This
will be our 20th. I do have amenities through RCCL and will probably
be looking more at their itineraries. I will also be looking for
atravel agent who puts my interests ahead of their own.

I don't think too many will be impressed by your invocation of the RCCL
repeater amenities, or their itineraries. Princess has better repeater
amenities and generally better itineraries. Neither is an RCCL strong
point. Where RCCL is strong is their latest ships, the design and
features on the Voyager and Ultra Voyager class ships which are better
than the latest Princess ships.

Aside from the repeater benifits, we found that on the larger Princess ships
the extra tonnage is dictated to adding more passengers & not extra
amenities. The larger Princess ships do nothing more than add lot more
passengers.

The Crown Princess has lots of wonderful spaces that are not at all
crowded. The only place we found it to be crowded was the pool areas. It
also has the International Cafe that the other Princess ships don't
have. Lots of good things to be said about Princesses newest and biggest
ship!!

I was certainly not trying to impress anyone, and certainly wouldn't
care if it impressed or did not impress you. The issue, which I fully
understand you would not get, is integrity.
