Snoozin n Cruisin from Pt. Canaveral

[tlwg04]

Hey guys.....looking to book a package out of pt. Canaveral..........I see that cocoabeach for less is offering a $69 package on a one night stay and parking for the week in return for a one hour presentation on their travel agency. The gent stressed that it is not a time share situation.

 

Has anyone done this? While the price is most agreeable, I am somewhat leary......the next package on another site starts at $97......

Don't do it.

Well well well.......now that I am reading the fine print:

I should have known when I was doing a similar search - they don't tell you it's a racket until AFTER you press "pay". They also charge your credit card immediately even though it doesn't show up for a couple of days. They did credit me back again a couple of days later. I chewed them out on the phone AND called BBB and the local Cocoa Chamber of Commerce.

 

We sail from Pt C as well as just visit on other trips - go with a name brand hotel chain .. :) I will from now on
