I just got this email announcing changes to how points expire with Marriott Rewards. Seems like you need earning activity within 2 years which seems fairly tame. I don’t like programs the expire points but this one doesn’t seem to draconian.
Month: February 2015
Click here to enter the Tullamore Dew distillery trip to Ireland to tour the distillery and enjoy Ireland.
It includes roundtrip tickets for 2 and 3 nights stay in Dublin. My guess is you might get a “wee bit of a sample” at the distillery but that’s just a guess 🙂

How to find a “Theme” cruise. Or…..avoid one.
Ever want to go on a theme cruise? Maybe your really into doing a Christmas cruise or an art focused cruise. A cruise that caters to disabled people or fitness junkies. Does a wine cruise, religious or maybe a Harry Potter cruise appeal to you?Then I have the site for you. It’s Theme Cruise Finders.
They list all sorts of themed cruises. They don’t list EVERY themed cruise but they do have a bunch. Sounds great right.
What might be more important to you is to avoid a theme cruise. For example let’s say your booked on the Carnival Pride later this year. You can find out some of the theme cruises that are going to take place on that ship. Keep in mind not all theme cruises will be on the list however.
First click on the “Advanced” search feature on the home page.
Then enter the name of the ship you are booked on.
The result will pull up any theme cruise that people have listed. Here is an example of what came up when I searched “Carnival Pride”
Now maybe you want to be on the Big Gay Pride Wedding Cruise or maybe you don’t. Maybe you hate the band “The Embers featuring Craig Woolard” whoever they are? At least this way you won’t be surprised.
You can click on each cruise listed for more details on the exact date, etc.
Again they don’t list EVERY themed cruise but should catch most of the popular ones. Also remember ships are big and just because 150 Star Wars fans will be on-board doesn’t mean it will ruin your vacation. But if say 1,800 Justin Bieber fan’s are on-board it could be a different story.
