I just finished calling Calypso Cay (1800)638913 (number on the letter I received in package - not the number I was given during my first sales ph call as that one does not exist!!) After speaking to someone by the name of Heather Davis, her checking my reference number from my letter was valid, checking my personal details, etc - this is what I have been informed so far about the "Calypso Cay Accommodation" side of things: * The package covers 'standard' accommodation (not 5 star) accommodation only as well as continental breakfasts. No other meals included (it was explained that standard accommodation can fit up to 6 people maximum). You can upgrade to a resort at your own expenses if you desire. There is no restaurant on the premises - but they say there are a restaurants & food places across the road. * For the cruise, if you choose the "3 days 2 night Bahamas cruise" option - then meals & everything is included. There is, however, a $398 cruise admission fee for each adult (something to bear in mind). (I didnt get details about children sorry). * If you choose the other cruise option of "4 days 3 nights in the Bahamas via cruise" then meals are NOT included. Only accomodation is covered. * The 3 days & 2 nights in Daytona Beach, Florida - there are 30 different accommodations to choose from. This package only includes standard accommodation. If you attend the VIP presentations (which involves much sales promotions - beware) then you will be upgraded to a better quality resort where you can see beach view, personal spa, etc. But only accommodation is paid for - not meals. * Also yes, there are 2 VIP passes per person to any theme park of your choice. * Other charges to consider include: Taxes ($5-$12 US) per night; $398 (US) cruise admission (as explained before). * Transport is NOT included as part of the package This is the basics of what I was able to discuss with Heather who clearly explained to me that this package DOES exist. If needed, you can contact her on: [email protected] For Daytona Beach details contact Michelle from Holiday Host: [email protected] or (386)6729787. She explained the following: * Standard accommodation is free from 30 different hotels/resorts. So need to discuss to confirm 'which' of the accommodations you want to stay at. If you attend their 90 promotion, no obligation, presentations - then get free upgrade to resort view of beach, quality hotel room, etc. Same things with this accommodation too though - rooms are paid for, meals are not. So far this is the update that I've received from these people who work at the resorts themselves. If anyone else calls these same details & hears otherwise, please report it as I am still a bit skeptical about things. Thanks Adelle Brisbane Australia
