As far as Cruise Critic and RCI being cohorts, there had to be
collaboration between Cruise Critic and Royal Caribbean about the
Cruise Critic members who became Royal Champions. I don't know who did
the selection, but think about it, Cruise Critic members don't post
with e-mail addresses, they post with screen names. Cruise Critic had
to give Royal Caribbean a way to contact those people who were chosen.
This is suggesting that CC disclosed email addresses to RCI

It would appear that the $64K question would be for a 'Royal Champion'
to ask RCI specifically how they got their email address?
Of course, if one happens to use a unique email address for each
website registration, etc ... then you would know without having to
ask.
