According to our Affiliate Summit conference PR rep contact, Kate met with CouponCabin's top merchants including Home Depot, Sears, Macy's and Restaurant.com. She also attended a happy hour at Cleopatra's Barge at Caesar's Palace. According to the rep, "attendees were really excited to meet Kate and she happily posed for photos with anyone who asked." Kate was also on hand to help CouponCabin accept an award from Share-A-Sale (an affiliate network) for "Top 1% Sales-Generating Affiliate Marketer of 2011."
Special thanks to PR rep Lauren for sharing these with us.

«Oldest ‹Older 401 – 418 of 418 Newer› Newest»I also think there will be major dissension among the fans. Who got to spend what time with Kate. How long Kate talk to her and her but not her. Kate seems to like her but not her.
============
Kate won't talk to any of them. She's just going to put up signs around the ship.
True. Then who found the most signs, who saw them first, etc etc.
The notes are for the revolving "babysitters," a new one every week.

"The stories of people who escaped are terrifying and made me swear to never go on a cruise.

If there is a plane crash, does one still fly? If a train derails, would he avoid train travel?
I believe this was a cruise ship that had a history of accidents and/or incidents and last year crashed into a pier in Egypt. I think that's one cruise line I would avoid, but the accident wouldn't deter me from ever cruising again.
Avoidable accidents, shady incidents, questionable investigations, health problems, seem to run rampant on cruises as opposed to cars, trains, and planes. And, unlike planes etc., it's early impossible to find safety statistics because everyone is hiding behind whatever country they decide today they are a part of.
One of the biggest problems is the country hopping and maritime laws. You skip around to different jurisdictions, you're not even really IN a jurisdiction half the time, and no one is accountable. Planes usually follow the laws of the country of origin or country of destination, more concrete and more accountable.
I would expect all the "bait and switch" you can imagine re: the cruise. Remember, history of a person can predict the future. I wouldn't waste a nickel on that cruise.
Never fear...if anything happens on Kate's cruise, you can bet that the safety of the sheeple comes before her own. She will make sure that all of them, particularly Milo, are the first to be rescued. Steve will round all of them up and personally see to it that they are evacuated safely.
The cruise ship involved in the accident is owned by Carnival that is based in Miami, and was built by the same company that built Carnival's Splendor, which also has a history of incidents. This is one reason I would never cruise on Carnival; the other is the party ship/drunk passengers/noise reputation. What's very strange is that I have never been on a cruise when the safety drill - report to muster station - isn't conducted immediately upon leaving the port. For some reason, this one wasn't.
Kate tweeted: Good morning my 71,200 twitter friends! Have a great saturday! I'll stop in and chat later... Breakfast time here.. Pancakes, coming up!

Why aren't 71,200 twitter friends returning her sediments to have a great Saturday?

I think that may have been true at one time, but I also think that the more cruise lines try to cover up incidents, the more these incidents are made public. Royal Caribbean became infamous in the case of George Smith, who vanished during his honeymoon cruise about six years ago. A movie was made about the incident. The recent rape aboard RC was also made public. I'm sure that there still are incidents that are never investigated, but I believe that these cruise lines aren't as well protected from public scrutiny as they were years ago. Maritime law definitely does confuse the matter, though.
I forgot to say thanks to admin for fixing this blogging issue! I now have the comments box again and everything appears to be back to normal!
I guess authorities didn't fool around long after this accident to make an arrest:
Rome (CNN) -- The Italian captain of the cruise ship that ran aground -- killing three person and injuring 20 more -- was arrested late Saturday and is being investigated for manslaughter and abandoning ship, said a local prosecutor in Grosetto, Italy.
Manslaughter, awesome.
I love Italy! Going in May yea!

@Kateplusmy8 U are in trouble now w/acceptin challenge! LOL Will keep U in suspense if this really happens 4us! :)
Nuts. Totally nuts. Can't you just see Kate not being able to sleep until she knows Milo is going; not being able to eat until she knows Milo is going...spending every waking minute in suspense not knowing if this sheeple and her man will be accompanying her on this cruise, yelling "LIGHTS OUT" to all the cabins. How ridiculous will this get?
From Disney cruises"
"Mustering: Lifeboat Drills
Coast Guard and international safety regulations require that everyone on board the ship must participate in a compulsory safety drill before departure."
"International" safety regulations. Does this mean that every country and every port must conduct this drill, and this is a blanket law covering every cruise line? It sounds like it.
International law says that the drills depend on the length of the trip. On voyages that will last more than one week, the first drill will be held before the ship gets underway (passengers who embark at the last minute sometimes miss this drill), with additional drills at least once a week thereafter. On voyages of one week or less, the drills must be held within 24 hours after leaving port.
What was supposed to be the length of the ill-fated Costa cruise?
Problem is we can regulate it all we want trying to impose "international law" on everyone, but we all know that many countries disregard various international laws. Which sounds like exactly what happened here. And international law becomes difficult to enforce when countries don't want to participate.
Slowly coming back after surgery, can't read thru all comments, so what is the challenge between Miloandjack and kate?
I can't believe what she just did. Someone asked for a welcome and she immediately welcomed him/her and said would love to meet you with a link to the cruise page. WoW!
the cruise line is Royal Carribean, not Carnival. I have been on two Carnival cruises. I took my granddaughter and grandson when each reached 12-years. I was pleased with the age-appropriate activities, food and cleanliness. We sailed on the Fascination, 700 passenger liner. Big surprise was that on the second cruise my grandson and I were bumped UP to the top deck as we were returnees. We flew Southwest Air from Phila. to Ft.Lauderdale and took the shuttle to Miami. All included cost a tad over $1,000 for both of us.
