Pros: 480k Hilton + 2 FN Certs = 7 Nights. Cheaper Transportation to Resort. Sometime in April or May. Will be able to take Biz class flight.
Cons: Reef might have not recovered. Unknown pricing about service/food costs.
SR:
Pros: Reserved for 240k before category deval. During December. 5 Nights.
Cons: Need to travel in Economy. Losing Platinum status after this year. So probably last time to get Free Breakfast. Super Expensive for Resort Transport.
fyi the Waldorf Astoria's boat transfer is $740++ round trip versus the St Regis' sea plane of $695++ .... so if the St Regis is "super expensive", then consider the Waldorf Astoria's as "super expensive + $45" per person.
