I have been on a Vacations To Go Singles Cruise and the youngest person is 55! They also do not include airfare. There are other single cruises out there, but I think the whole point is to get a group of POF Members together and have some fun. This way people can meet on the forums before the cruise and meet in person on the ship. I am looking forward to meeting everybody in February! | |

| Plentyoffish Singles cruise February 11-18, 2007 Posted: 11/5/2006 5:31:50 PM | I think they have the wording wrong.....I have been on a few cruises and that sounds a bit expensive, even with the airfare included. It says prices are for 2 people, so you should not have to pay more because you want a single cabin or share one with another person. It sounds like a nice cruise, but living in NE PA, if I wanted to go on the cruise, I would have to fly out of NY and I am about 2-3 hours from there, so I would then have the expense of getting to NY.  | |

What sucks though: I hope most of the leeches and stupid posters in this thread won't go.
How difficult can it be to figure out the cost per person, and the sharing room details, when ADMIN had posted all the pertinent information?
Oh hell, what am I thinking, only people with brains, will have money and time for this trip.

| Plentyoffish Singles cruise February 11-18, 2007 Posted: 11/5/2006 7:12:28 PM | | Well said ya472! Seems a lot of people can't figure this one out. Before posting another ridicules post, please read all the information that Admin has posted. It is all there in black and white. If you don't want to go on the cruise and think you can get one cheaper, then post some where else. This is for people that want to meet other POF Members which won't happen on any other cruise. | |

| Plentyoffish Singles cruise February 11-18, 2007 Posted: 11/5/2006 8:36:51 PM | Shelia P, If a person can spend $529 for a inside cabin on that same cruise, and $448 round trip from DFW airport, and it's total cost is $917.00. Why would anyone want to pay any additional money for exact same cruise and booking date? Vacations To Go is one of many travel sites on the web. Saying that the youngest person on a vacations to go cruise (FYI-singles cruises IS NOT WHAT THEY EVER SELL OR PROMOTE) is 55 is wrong! I'm just letting people know that the cruise (if they do want to go on it) is available cheaper! And no I do not work for V.T.G., I just have used them for the last 5 years to book my cruises, and I'm NOT 55! | |

| Plentyoffish Singles cruise February 11-18, 2007 Posted: 11/6/2006 9:48:20 AM | | If flights are included then what would the price difference then that would be the price of cabin so that would be only $590 us but why does it say $1348 from toronto so that means I am payng flight then doesn't it? or is it just $590 please explain | |
|
| Plentyoffish Singles cruise February 11-18, 2007 Posted: 11/6/2006 10:05:55 AM | CCmale4u,
Does it include all the below in the $917??? And are there other POF members going on VTG Cruises???
Cruise, cabin category as specified, all port fees, taxes, immigrations fees etc., airport transfers,****ail parties, special shore excursions for POF members, daily POF activities program and onboard, POF activities coordinators. | |

Well there's your problem right there!

| Plentyoffish Singles cruise February 11-18, 2007 Posted: 11/6/2006 2:26:10 PM | Just so you guys know... this is not ALL INCLUSIVE. What they are NOT telling you, is that you have to pay for your drinks onboard... this can get very expensive... nevermind the $3.50 charge everytime you talk to someone practically.
There is no money changing hands on a cruise, you get hit with a huge bill at the end. And those drinks, etc add up big time.
If you want all inclusive, go to Mexico or somewhere hot... for 900 bucks you get a week including everything. | |

| Plentyoffish Singles cruise February 11-18, 2007 Posted: 11/6/2006 2:26:33 PM | it is not 590.00 for single cabin.
It is 590.00 extra for single cabin
inside from Toronto: Double: person 1 pays 1365.00, person 2 pays 1365.00
Single: That only person pays 1365.00 + 590.00 = USD1955.00 | |

| Plentyoffish Singles cruise February 11-18, 2007 Posted: 11/6/2006 3:43:10 PM | | I am really beginning to regret signing up for this cruise... In my opinion , all I am reading is a bunch of people moaning , groaning , and complaining about this cruise... It's simple GO OR DON'T GO but why try to make it sound bad for the rest of us that has made up our minds about this trip... If you read ADMIN's description or call the 1-800 number that he has on there you can get all the information that you need from there... Well, that's all I have to say on the matter... For those of you going I'll see you there for those of you that aren't we will tell you all about how much fun we had when we return .... | |

| Plentyoffish Singles cruise February 11-18, 2007 Posted: 11/6/2006 6:15:17 PM | Shelia, The port fees are not included in that, nor are the taxes, so yes you can add another $68.00 to the toatal. But the catamarn beach and snorkel tour your including is just $57.00 (according to the Costa Cruse web site). So I hope you are providing alot more than what is stated for the additional $300.00!!! Hey Eddire, your right it is $977. Thanks, Kevin P.S- Shirl55 has a Canadian travel agent with a national agency that has a decent deal going out of Galveston, Texas. Yes, I did check out the pricing being offered on that cruise and it is in line to what deals are being offered by the cruise lines. Thanks Shirl | |

Too much for me this year but I may consider it for another time. Please post pictures so we can all see how the trip went. Have a wonderful time to all who are going. | |

| Plentyoffish Singles cruise February 11-18, 2007 Posted: 11/6/2006 7:54:03 PM | | Thanks Kevin (CC) appreciate your comments...if anyone would like further information on this Western Caribbean cruise...please contact me through my profile....I didn't start this group to make a lot of money or to try and compete with Admin...I know there are more than a few of us who don't mind travelling alone but want to meet others in like-situations in a non threatening environment and don't mind paying for it. It isn't about getting stuff for free or getting the best deal possible. It is about possibly connecting with someone that you might not otherwise get a chance to meet and making it as easy as possible. If you can't afford to go or don't want to go maybe the best thing is to just leave the post alone instead of bashing it. Nothing is for free anymore and cheaper is not necessarily better. | |
