I was ok to pay the extra $s for the cruise, but, as I was going thru the sign up process and ot to the VIP experience offer, it turned me off that I had to pay the extra $s. I know, I know, it is likely impossible to let everyone in on the VIP experience programs, but, paying so much for the cruies already, they could have at least let me in on one of experiences. That turned me off and did not sign up for the cruise.
