This is my 3rd time on this cruise... I go to get away from it all, and have something in common with people on board... it's not the "ideal" cruise for me (the plane tickets cost more than the entire cruise)... but I enjoy going and hanging out with people that I already know.

And it forces me to "disconnect" for 4 days, which I need once a year. :)

The vendors pay for this stuff, not DR. And the room class I chose was not 279.00. I prefer not to sleep in the engine room.

And we are a pretty regular and profitable customer to DR.

You know, if I were in their shoes, I would do what is required to keep a happy customer.

Next year I plan to go to the WISPA conference and skip this thing. I can hear sales pitches any time. The reason I go is to network with you guys anyway!

The most interesting part is the cruise was only $279 per person. How much cheaper could he have gotten it with an employee discount? And how much would DR have to charge to allow this person into all the sessions/keynotes/afterhours free drinks/etc.?

I would think if the guy was one of your customers and specifically went on the cruise to be a part of the show, then you could let it slide or at least have a door price. It seems to me a little good will for someone who helps support you all year is in order. And as to others attending, I say charge a door price and let them come if they really want. I doubt there would be a lot of takers.
