We waited ~+45 min for "anytime" dine. Buffet was packed...it was a mess. We ended up bringing food back to the ship from the daytrips!

Here is what I would do:
25Krt p/p on delta anywhere in the US. Find a nice resort...have a blast. 100K Delta and use the 270K Marriott.
Where are you located? Where would you LIKE to go?
Give us some hints...will help you out.
(We like to sightsee "off" season-ie, London/Europe in fall...etc)
Philly,
Appreciate your inputs. Unfortunately we have the company mandated holidays during last week of the year.
As i said we have never been to Cruise and that would be our first preference. Other could be anywhere in Europe but it looks like the tickets are so high during that time , points will be burned pretty quick.
Appreciate any other suggestions.. started wondering if it is too late to plan anything.
