Member cruise and borrowing points??

[kamgen]

Hoping someone can help me. I have a few questions.
First, can you borrow points ahead to book the MC? Also, can you use points from two different memberships or would it be easier to transfer in the points from one to the other and book with one membership?? I have two memberships (long story) and want to combine the points to book the MC. Any experience or advice is appreciated!

You will not have to transfer points to book the cruise. We used our multiple contracts (3 actually) to book the Med cruise last summer. I booked one stateroom for 2 people using two master contracts myself, and the other stateroom we used my DH's master contract. As long as your memberships are both in your name you should be fine.

I would recommend calling MS, however, prior to the booking date for the Member Cruise to confirm and plan out what you want to do. On booking day, it is really crazy on the phones and the quicker you can book your choices the better off you are that day.

Borrowing points (within guidelines) will be fine too.

Might get to meet you on that cruise as we are considering going too!

Thanks! Hope you go too! We are prettu sure we are calling on the 17th! We have always wanted to do a MC and thought, why not!?!
The way our points works out we can book one adult on one membership and then the other 3 people on the other, shouldnt be too hard. From your experience, do the cat 9-12's go faster than the upper cats??? Just curious!

Honestly, they all go very fast. Call in day for the Member Cruise that we went on was sold out within 6 hours I would say. We obtained a category 6 but were calling very early on. Make a list of 3 or 4 choices so you have back up in case your first choice sells out..
