If you're lucky enough to fit the profile of one of these cruises, aren't you likely to have a chance despite not being in the top 25?
I think yes. I'm qualified for basically one cruise that I'd be interested in, so anything that involves kids, not being a US citizen or being retirement age won't be a fit for me...
And for the record, I haven't heard a peep back from my application or email regarding the one cruise I am qualified for, so I expect it has more to do with them getting approval from the client. In the past, I have been asked to submit a short bio about myself and my guest before being a assigned a cruise for my demographic...and yes, it was very last minute.
My policy is to book the cruise week out on my calendar, and if something better comes along, I withdraw my application.
