| Plentyoffish Singles cruise February 11-18, 2007 Posted: 1/8/2007 1:15:51 PM | This cruise is expensive. I have been on a dozen cruises and the most I ever paid was $700 per person. My last cruise was solo and I paid $499 plus a $250 adder(rather than double price) for a single occupant. That is roughly half the price of this one.
There happened to be a Vacations To Go singles cruise on that cruise. I did not sign up through VTG but did meet a nice lady on the ship who did book through them. We hit it off and she decided to not attend any of their events or eat dinner with the VTG group because there was strict enforcement of a rule not allowing anyone to attend events or eat dinner with the singles if you did not book through VTG. Since she wanted to be with me, she stopped attending their events.
My observation was that most of the singles who booked through VTG were undatable. It was probably the biggest group of losers that I have ever seen together. They looked like the Star Wars bar scene when they were partying together. Even they themselves got sick of seeing each other because all of the events hosted by VTG always had the same people attend every day for a whole week. There are more than 2000 people to meet on a cruise and they want you to stick with the same 50 people for a week, even if you would not date a single one of them. The only ones that actually had any fun were those who wandered outside of the singles group and met someone and then stopped attending the group events. When the VTG host figured out that my girl was planning to eat dinner at my table because I was not allowed to eat at hers, they waived that rule for me just so the group would not start to break up and venture out to eat on their own or skip their events(got to have some nice pictures for future marketing brochures). But after just one dinner with these losers we decided to dump them for good. By then end of the cruise they were all bickering and fighting like high school kids.
I am not going.
Just my 2 cents. | |

| Price discounted Posted: 1/18/2007 4:11:14 AM | I just read this reply email from the cruise organizers today. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Bad News: "Since we had a very small group of POF members actually commit to the cruise we no longer offer day activities."
The Good News: "We have slashed the prices: Inside cabin is $744 per person" --------------------------------------------------------------------------- I decided that I'm not going to go on this one, hoping to find something closer and cheaper. If anyone knows of a cruise or vacation along California or Baja coasts, I'm looking for one too. My aim is for sun, snorkeling, good food, and a variety of activities so we don't even have to leave the resort [or cruise ship] if we don't want. It'd be great to have a decent price on single occupants because I value my naps!! | |

| Plentyoffish Singles cruise February 11-18, 2007 Posted: 1/30/2007 12:56:46 PM | I am so dissapointed, I just called the travel agency and they said the participation rate is way down. I wish people would be honnest. The agency said only 6 or 7 people are actually from pof. As usual dishonnest people ruin the fun. If you are not participating please remove your name.

| Plentyoffish Singles cruise February 11-18, 2007 Posted: 2/1/2007 11:52:20 AM | Hello - Heads UP 6 of us just went on this cruise ship on the same ports of call. We had an inside cabin. It was the worst cruise I have ever been on. We were at least lucky that we didn't pay much money $599 each. The food was not good. The entertainment was souly done by the activities staff. Most of the staff onboard did not speak English. If you wanted to eat Lobster it cost $20 extra. The only good thing was that the ship was clean. My suggestion is don' go on this ship unless they offer it for free. | |

| Plentyoffish Singles cruise February 11-18, 2007 Posted: 2/5/2007 8:24:46 AM | | We were going to attend the cruise until we realised it was the same dates as the Daytona Nascar Speedweeks. We, my SO and myself, decided to take a cruise the next week. Sorry Grace, Julie and Berry we will not be on the cruise with you. Have fun everyone and stay safe. | |
