I went on a 7 day cruise recently, and I couldn't believe all the free things that I got! My daughter and I each got a pin and lanyard, and a large beach towel. At a member get-together, everyone got a free baseball cap and mousepad. They gave away enough canvas tote bags and t-shirts that almost everyone got something. I ended up with a "gold" bracelet, that my daughter ended up giving to her doll as a necklace.
Yes, we payed dearly for our verandah room, but the little treats were a lot of fun!
