DVC Presentation

[gismo1554]

Morning. So I'm thinking of attending on my upcoming cruise as interested in looking at the offerings. Do you still get free refreshments at the seminar and the chance to win $200?

Thanks

We got a bottle of water, but no actual drinks.

They're not even serving the mimosas anymore? Those were the only things that made sitting through the presentation bearable.

I have attended 13 of these presentations to mostly get the bottled water and a pin for trading with the officers later during the cruise. I am a sucker for these talks as they are fun to listen to. Sometimes as few as 6 people in the presentation and I still have never won the 200 dollar raffle - I swear it is rigged

Last week on the Dream we got either Evian water or a free alcoholic drink. We didn't get any swag unless we won a contest. However, if you stop by the DVC desk in the evening you get a DVC hat. No lanyards on my cruise, although we got some last year.

No refreshments on the Wonder in December 2017, but they did give away the $200 OBC. We actually won it!

We've won the $200 twice. Everyone who attends fills out a card and they put all the cards in a box and pull out the winner. We knew we had a good chance of winning on the one presentation we went to because there was only 5 or 6 people in it. Just make sure if it's you and your spouse, you each fill out a card to increase your chances. I saw recently they bumped it up to 3 chances to win during the presentation. One chance at $300 and two chances at $100.

Make sure you are there for the drawing. They pulled a card and the people had left. Our card was pulled next. Thank you for leaving early! There was a DVC get together later one evening where cocktails were available. Check the Navigators.

We have gone to many, and have always had at least one alcoholic drink. Usually we get a bottle of water to take with us too. Once DH won the $200, and once he won a small heart pendant for me!

My wife and I go often, never can win the $200. Always get the water and sometimes the drink.

Thanks all

We’re currently in the Wonder and there were free alcoholic drinks on the DVC welcome presentation the first day (which is the one for DVC members). They also had a DVC member mixer (again for DVC members) that had mixed drinks and beer. There is always a $200 stateroom credit raffle on each presentation.

I'm wondering if some people in this thread are mixing up the member welcome event (usually on the first, sometimes 2nd, day) with the sales pitches aimed at non-members that are held several times during the cruise. The member event usually has alcoholic drinks and sometimes a character meet-and-greet, while the regular sales pitches have only bottled water.

As i18mulan mentioned above, some cruises also have a "member mixer" which is different yet again.

The $200 is for US citizens only!
You will see it in the small print

And yet, in February the person who won and his spouse were not.

At the non member event this year on the Magic I only received water. 3 years ago on the Dream they offered alcohol

Only US citizens, or permanent residents as well?
