Nope! My parents bought OKW in 93- and now that it's just my mom she transferred it to my DH and I, we had to go through the title process and some paperwork but after 6-8 weeks the contracted had been redeeded (is that a word??) I still have all the rights and perks with the direct purchase even though we did it 6 months ago....

I seem to recall reading on the member site that there were still openings available, long after the booking window opened. Is the cruise still so popular that they will be able to limit it to qualified contracts and still fill the ships? I don't cruise so I'm just curious....

Since they announced 2 around the same time, this may have affected the hype and the participation. I don't have much interest in member cruises because they're generally over priced even more than normal. There was a thread or 2 about the issue of non qualified members not being able to book on cash either. I haven't seen anything to the contrary to suggested they've lifted that ban but i could have missed it since I tend to scan titles and only open thread's that interest me.
