Vacation, Adventure & Lessons Learned-part 2

After receiving your "Travel Documents", everyone gets excited. Rather than reading the fine print throughout the document, you just flip through the pages, and see that everything they have said to you over the phone is correct. "Complimentary Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner for Four Adults, 50.00 Matchplay with Imperial Majesty Cruise Line (for the casino), Choice of the following, Alamo Rental Car or Drive yourself or Tickets to Universal Studios in Orlando". We are now, jumping for joy.

Then we start asking questions over the phone. "What is the sleeping arrangements on board for four adults, how large is the room?" Answer: "There are bunk beds". "What? for four adults?" Oh yeah, I can just picture that! "You can "upgrade" "to what?", response: "a small suite". "What's that like and what is the cost?" "250.00, will get you, one bed, 2 hide a-beds". Still not bad, at 62.50 each for roomier conditions. Then more "upgrades" : 3 nights, 4 days on ship. (2 days in Nassau) for 198.00 sis and me, 158.00 for Linda and Sandra (split). "upgrade" for a Mini Van for 198.00 to handle four adults plus our luggage. Are you getting the picture so far?
