A WORD OF WARNING!


We have been travelling for years, and enjoying the great deals I have found on the internet, but a word to the wise…. Don’t make rash decisions.!!

We arrived to St Thomas on a cruise stop,, enjoying the weather and wandering the streets… when we are approached to come partake in a presentation on a deal we couldn’t refuse,… the first thing we should have been aware of…

We followed and joined others awaiting this presentation,… with the best marketing rep, but the most “deceiving” rep they had..
Long story short, he advised of first class flights, cheaper deals than we ever received, and first class service from anywhere. He then divided and conquered.
I was a bit apprehensive, but at least thought I should listen. My husband is quite keen at this moment. He noted this and took couples aside, recognizing our small interest , as we love to travel , as most do that he approaches .

He noted that we loved cruising, and asked what would be our ultimate cruise destination, with our reply , being Mediterranean. He then offered us a 14 DAY cruise , (finding they don’t offer Mediterrean cruises and time limit on carribean cruises), taken when we want, and family hot weeks anytime, with our freedom to anything they offered , anytime, at ½ the cost that other websites offer.. What a deal! (not!) Should have know better.

Since we joined, waiting for our promised offers, I have been frequently disappointed.
I still have to search out the deals and have them check to do the same thing, saving the “ big” service fees. They don’t do any or much searching at all.
Anytime I check on the package deals, oh they aren’t available.
Forget about first class seats on flights for the price of regular pricing, a big farce.
When I needed them , immediately, well they mixed us up with another couple, so didn’t’ receive a reply at all.
I still check, and find better deals myself online, with little help from this Travel Service agency. I should have paid myself $8000.00 and taken a trip . Then they want $200/ per year to just keep our membership active for doing very little. I must say, buyer beware, talk is cheap and if you have the bucks to throw around and don’t worry about deals, this is just the service for you.



When I can find a better rate myself, that’s quite sad, considering I paid for service never rendered, several times.

I can only hope that someday, it might pay for itself, but I am quite doubting that prospect.

The say a fool and his money are soon parted, and I feel taken.

They also should have reputable salesmen, who actually promote their product honestly.

This is not a small amount of spare change, so hopefully some government regulation will take over and put these salesmen in an “honest” days work.

BEWARE AND BE CAREFUL !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
