so I got it for going to a session but I don't want it:
vacation for two adults includes 3 days and two nights hotel accommodations at the island palms resort plus a round trip cruise(with all meals included while on the cruise) from ft. lauderdale to freeport. all you pay is $44.50 per person port fee, NAFTA tax, $75 per person reservation and process fee, total of $239(for the two people put together). you also pay $15 per night hotel taxes and service charges to the hotel. also $5 per person fuel surcharge. Let me know if you want the packet so that you can use it and take the trip (within a year). You don't owe me anything...

12/15/2006 4:50:18 PM

12/15/2006 4:56:42 PM

Is this one of those things where you don't actually spend the night on the boat, so by "all meals included while on the cruise" you really mean you get like 2 lunches or something?

12/15/2006 5:03:26 PM

I have no clue! The name is Freeport in case you want to research it. There are "two full service casinos, with slot machines, caribbean stud poker, black jack and craps that you can play, shopping , pubs, shops and restaurants. scuba diving, snorkeling, parasailing, fishing." that's the description of freeport beaches that you'd be on

if youre just giving it away for someone to take a cruise within a year...i will take it

when can i come get the info?

12/15/2006 11:19:20 PM

Id like to see the paperwork and read the fineprint and if everything checks out then if ^ doesnt take it, i will. Let me know.

12/15/2006 11:52:57 PM

a lot of times it is actually a good trip... the person who gets people to sign up gets a rather large discount or a free trip. The expensive part is getting down there and finding a place to park... worth it though if you are into cruises

[Edited on December 16, 2006 at 12:15 AM. Reason : i'd recommend a longer trip if you want the whole cruise experience]

12/16/2006 12:15:22 AM

i meen- u know that someone is going to try and sell you something and get you to spend a shit ton of money on others- but hey- it's still a free trip

12/16/2006 12:16:44 AM

LOL at this thread... i went to one of the sessions for Network Direct also and my g/f won this... if someone wants it they can have hers. If multiple people want it you can bid on it b/c i dont know who i would give it to... othewise someone can have it

the prize i won from it was a free ipod shuffle (the new kind) and should be here next week

Oh this is SOOOOOO one of these high pressure sale deals.
You get there and you are put in this "Timeshare" sales seminars.

Otherwise I have to believe that the OP is willing to give away a nice trip on the same site that will even sell used posters and old PC cases. (Not knocking the PC cases..bought one here once.)
And I have to believe that the OP is doing this knowing that he will not be able to take this trip which is open ended for a year.

BTW rfsomody......I notice that you did not say what "session" you got this for going to.

Let me guess..the more people you get to respond, the better deal you get?

And since there is no "fine print" as of yet, I am betting that you will have to pass an income and credit check before you can get the trip.

Did one of these last summer (3 nights in Orlando, Disney tickets for 2 days, Cruise to Bahamas w/ 2 nights). Had to deal with sales presentations at both destinations. Not bad, just be prepared for extra costs in addition to those listed above

$_____ cost to arrive (drive or fly)
$35 for parking for 3 days
$20 per person "security fee" you have to pay once you arrive to board the cruise ship
$10 per person cab drive one way w/ the monopoly cab company
$____ cost for Alcohol , not included on the cruise ship
$15 to rent the snorkles for an 1hr 1/2
$20 for the canoe for an 1hr
$____ cost for food b/c that's not included either, and your stuck w/ the resort's menu unless you pay for a ride to town ($5 per person each way)

Wasn't that bad though. Just suprised at the extra hidden costs they didn't warn me about.

Ended up costing me $1,200 for everything (drove down there), close to the same amount I spent on my honeymoon (7 nights in maya riviera: plane ride and an all inclusive resort for $1,500.00)

Believe you need a passport now too ($100), didn't last year.

12/16/2006 9:07:42 AM

hahah...extra costs is why I'm not going. plus just paying to get down there. WEll, I found someone to give it to. but thanks for ya'll's replies

hahaha, the gig is up.

12/16/2006 10:16:19 AM

ya know- i posted half a dozen times here and this could have all been solved if u told me that alcohol wasn;t included.

who goes on a cruise with no free booze? thats sachrelegious.

12/16/2006 11:02:22 AM

lol..well someone can have mine if they want it... i dont have the money to spend even on a cheap cruise...

and there shouldnt be any timeshare seminars to go to.. thats what we had to go to in order to get the free trip.

12/16/2006 11:07:55 AM

hahaha he said "free"

12/16/2006 11:12:59 AM

^^ok- man..... is there free alcohol? this is clutch- if there is I may be willing to pay u a few bucks for it...

12/16/2006 11:13:32 AM

its not a cheap cruise. you end up spending just as much if not more than a real cruise, plus you have to deal with the stupid sales pitches all the time

12/16/2006 12:16:02 PM

Actually, she gave it to me. She isn't the type to try and scam anyone.

12/16/2006 4:58:34 PM

naw there is no free alcohol.. sorry

but you can have it for free if you want

12/16/2006 8:28:46 PM

some ppl need to stop thinking it's a FREE trip

doesn't seem like much of a cruise if it's just 1 day to 1 port of call. this thread is misleading.
