At KOR offered a whale watch on Shangri La private charter, breakfast at Nanea and 20k points for 99 per couple then do owner update. New way to get elite owners to listen to their spill. We signed up will post how it goes. Anyone else do this?

They are copyjng Dismind Resorts wildly successful "EOLs" so expect offerings to increase. At SVV last month they offered same, event plus the points( i think it was a concert at the Phillips performing arts centre downtown). Personally i prefer them over the points.

How much would this cost if you paid out of pocket? I only know the cost to buy the 20K Bonvoy points, which would be $250. Seems like a decent deal.

Not sure but I'm sure quite a bit more. Last july when we were here a sunset cruise was over 100.

We aren't elite owner so were only offered 2K Bonvoy Points. Our guests however were offered a $100 resort credit plus Bonvoy points as they are not owners.

Should have written 20K Bonvoy Points for non elite owners. We do have platinum elite status but that doesn't factor in for presentations

So apparently it does include platinum elite bonvoy members for the offer. We are here now but did already do a wonderful whale watch so most likely will not switch offers.Let us know how it is
