Paid another $796 dollars for cruise as port fees. On 09/02/07.
Trip planned from 6th July to 17th July 2007.
Arrived florida 2100h on 06/07/07. paid $350 dollars credit card ransom for next day presentation. Gum chewing presentation with a lot of figures and pressure to sign up now or else we dont know you. Induced to upgrade and offer better living accommodation if signed up now. Cheapest free tickets theme park tickets given. No other details could be obtained from Calypso cay as they said their responsibility was over and the other companies were now our hosts. All paper work is on Calypso cay letter heads.
11th checked out and drove to Daytona. Arrived at 1500. Shown cheap hotel first, unfit for habitation with cockroaches, smoke filled yellow walls and torn carpets. (Americas best value inn). Agreed to presentation hence hotel upgraded to a slightly better one. (tropical winds).
Next day not able to attend presentation due to visit to theme park. 13th attended presentation at 0900h . (holiday host). Presentation only to start at 0930h.
Decided to leave without attending presentation as cruise booked by calypso cay was boarding at 1500 at Fort Lauderdale 4 hour drive away. Michelle at local host centre said 'get out of my office if you can not attend the presentation'. Just no concern if we missed the cruise that that they had scheduled for us. Extremely professional.
13th boarded cruise. Learnt from other passengers the cruise was worth $110 including the port fees. I paid $ 796 for port fees only.(4 adults)
15th to 17th attended another presentation at Fort LAUDERDALE conducted AT VACATION VILLAGE.
Total of 5 days of holiday taken up by holiday hosts and calypso cay planning with bad planning of trip. Could not complete all theme parks. Thanks to Calypsocay. Florida? nice place full of rip offs and hidden taxes!!
watch out for the GREAT WHITES!! on land.. ...Calypsocay!!
14th August 2007 I got call from calypso cay offering cruise????? Helllooo whats going on?? Tried to speak disconnected abruptly. I was back in London
They owe me money, as I have paid extra for the cruise that was already paid for in 2005.
