| | Issue 439 | 26 March 2009 | | Hi Cruisers, As our POSH Club and company grows, we have more and more opportunities for client functions. Whenever Philippa and I are travelling around Australia, we are now taking the opportunity to try and meet up with our members for a drink or dinner, our Platinum members will be on the top of the list as they should be. In fact this week Dawn Princess was in Hong Kong, as was I, and we had two Platinum couples on board so I took the opportunity to host them for a dinner. It's always nice to spend time with our loyal clients, especially ones that have booked so many cruises with us. If only I had the time for more cruising! We've had a big response to Queen Elizabeth which goes on sale next week. We are working with Cunard to make your reservations after the clock strikes midnight to try and secure you a good suite. These packages look great and will be an excellent experience with the blend of hotels and ship. NEW RELEASE – 2010 Sun Princess cruises!
