Ireland calling.
I have just received an unsolicited phone call telling me I have won a free Carribbean cruise! I was then connected to a rep from this company to explain all the details of how I "collect"!
To my surprise, she did... Very clearly stating that this was a time-share tactic to gain customers.
I am to receive a 13 day all expenses paid (except flights from Ireland to Florida) holiday plus the three day cruise to Nassau. This, for 4 people will only cost me 898, (about US$1200).
She also gave me the website to appraise the facilities, (which is how I discovered consumer complaints), and put me under no pressure to pay immediately.
When I told her I would examine what was on offer in more detail and discuss it with my wife, she was happy just to confirm that I had the correct phone no. To call them or e-mail when I am ready to accept their offer!
So what I need to know is, should I take up the offer? I have read most of the reports on Ramada (it is obviously the same company under another name), but most of the complaints concern cancellations and refunds. As I will be able to travel after the 45 days notice they require within one year of receiving the offer, AND I know that a time-share presentation is part of it (no intention of buying!!!), where can I go wrong?
Please help!
