I am in the process of figuring out how many points I need to purchase. Can someone tell me about how many points it would take to go on a 7 day cruise. I am not able to access RCI yet to see this information.

Thanks

Generally speaking, booking a cruise using RCI points is not a good use of your TS costs. Take a look at a cruise consolidator- we like www.vacationstogo.com or www.crucon.com and compare what it costs for the cruise you want with what RCI charges on top of your MF for the same cruise. It may save a one or two hundred bucks and your MF on the points can easily be $700-800. Do the math.

This has been posted many times. About the only time you come out ahead is when booking several cabins (RCI allows 4) on one cruise.
