My husband and I went to a presentation after receiving a call that we won at least a cruise for sure even if we didn't buy anything. We talked with the salesmen as did many others at little round tables. We said we'd be interested if we could use it to bring our children and grandchildren down to stay at Clearwater or St Petersburg Beaches. That was the main reason we bought. Well, we found out, after paying $5000, that they don't have any accomodations in this area. This is the main reason we went for it as we were told this would be a great way to utilize this. When we found out that they couldn't accomodate us, we looked online for somewhere to go. Well, their places are off the wall weird places. Turns out they are other people's time shares. And they kept stressing they weren't a time share operation.
I actually was able to get a lower rate on a hotel room in St Pete Beach than they could get.
Then we checked on the complimentary cruise. They said we couldn't book until next year and there would be $400 port charges. Never heard of such a thing on a complimentary cruise. Also, the cruise has bunk beds. Now can you imagine. We are 66 and 70. My husband served this country in the US Army for 32 years. We were seriously ripped off. We feel, as good citizens, that we were taken big time.
I want to join any kind of action to recoup some of this money.
