325.0. "Bahamas Cruise/Trip for 2, $179.00" by CSCOA1::CRISAFULLI_C () Wed Oct 16 1991 20:41

    			$500.00 BAHAMAS CRUISE for 2, must sell 179.00
    
    I have made a quantity purchase of Bahamas cruise trips that I need to
    sell. I  purchased  the trips while trying to organize a group trip
    to the Bahamas. The people backed out and now I am stuck with the trips.
     
    The tickets are good for one year after purchase, the only requirement
    is that you make a 60 day advance reservation. You are not restricted
    to any paticular week, you can go anytime you like. The ship leaves 
    from Ft Lauderdale for a 7-8 hour cruise to the island.  The package
    includes $1000.00 in vouchers that you can use toward discounts on 
    airfare, car rentals and on future cruises. You leave on a Monday aboard
    the Discovery 1, which is a 1400 passenger ship. Once in Freeport , you
    will stay at the Castaways Resort which is equivalent to our Holiday Inn.
    If you like you can upgrade to one of the other hotels on the Island.
    If you like, you can leave on a Friday and make it a 4 day 3 night trip. 
    
    The Cruiseliner provides you with lavish buffet meals and amenities
    such as sundecks, swimming pool, tri-level casino, disco, and movie
    theatres. There is also a cruise director on the ship as well as the hotel
    to help you with any arrangements you need. 
    
    The first night at the hotel, you are invited to a free Cocktail Party,
    complimentary drinks and Hor'Dvers as well as a complimentary dinner
    Thursday night at Church Hills Restaurant, which is next to the Castaways. 
    On the return trip, you are given a moonlight cruise with a big dinner
    party and live Las Vegas Style show.
    
    The only outside charges are taxes and meals which comes to about
    $90.00 a couple. You will have to pay that to the Travel agency direct.
    You will get written confirmation of your reservations once you have 
    made them.  
    
    I have a complete package that I send to you, it includes the tickets,
    a color booklet, an audio as well as a video cassette explaining the trip 
    in more detail. 
    
    Keep in mind, this trip is for two people, not one, you only need one
    package per couple.
    
    Please send me Email if you are interested,
    
    Thanks,

    Just a note, this is not a timeshare deal. You don't have to go see any
    real estate or condo. All you do is eat, relax and gamble. There are no
    hidden strings. 
    
    Enjoy,
    Chuck

    Thanks for all the response, one thing I guess I didn't make clear
    is that this is a 5day four night trip. You leave on a Monday and
    return the following Friday. (unless you want to leave on Friday and
    return on a Monday)

    
    
    Has anyone gone of this?  Just wondering how it was, we are going
    in April.  
    
    Sounds good,
    
    Dianne

    I too would like to hear of people's experiences.  
    
    We are planning on going in June, and now another couple would like
    to go as well.  Any ideas on where/how they could buy one of these 
    packages?  (I won mine in a contest last spring.)
    
    Any info. would be much appreciated.
    
    Thanks,
    Danielle
