Referral Program Announced

This is mostly for you cruisers who are already booked, but in case you missed this email from Rose Tours they just announced a new referral program. Here is the copy of the email below:

Hey BSBcruisers- Are you getting excited for the Cruise? Need a few extra cruise dollars? Know any BSB fans who haven't made their cruise reservation yet? Have we got a deal for you.

We know that times are tough and we really appreciate your booking the BSB cruise. As part of our gratitude, we want to offer you a chance for a special discount.

We are pleased to announce the launch of the new BSB Cruise Referral Program to all of our current BSB 2011 Cruisers.

If you are currently booked on the cruise and your refer a friend, you will receive a $50 per person discount for everyone your refer. When making the reservation, have your friend put your name in the comments section. Your $50 per new person booked, will be deducted from your final payment.

For any current 2011 BSB Cruise passenger who refers a new passenger, the current passenger will receive the following:
$50 discount per new confirmed passenger. This discount will be deducted from your final balance.
When a new passenger makes a reservation, they need to put the referring passenger's name in the Comments Section.

We have an exciting cruise planned for you all and we can't wait to see you again in December!

Rose Tours

**Discount will be applied at the time of final payment on October 3rd, 2011. Discount only applies if the referred completes the booking and makes all payments for their cruise. This discount is non-transferable to any other cruise passenger and is null and void should the referring passenger cancel their reservation. This discount is not redeemable for cash and does not apply to any taxes, fees or onboard expenses. Referral Discount only applies to new bookings made after July 5th, 2011 and is not retroactive to any current bookings.

This email tells me there are still plenty of cabins available, which I guess is a good thing. Less people on the ship = more potential time with BSB. But I still have a looming fear that if they can't sell out the ship they may be less inclined to do more cruises in the future.

I know this is a shameless plug here, but for you cruisers who haven't booked yet, if you've found my blog to be particularly helpful and it has legitimately helped you in your decision to book the cruise, I would be extremely grateful if you wanted to put my name down. Just shoot me an email :) Heck, I'd also be willing to split the money with you. Win, win!
