Where I stayed

Home

Flag of United States Morristown, New Jersey
Friday, April 23, 2010

The booking for Allure took place while we were trying to book the Solstice 2010. We knew the phones at Atlantis were constantly busy - but we still figured it would never sell out.

When announcements came out that it was almost sold out - we balked at the exaggeration. Clever marketing - tell gay men they might miss out on THE place to be and they'll book due to fear.

We were above this - we saw right through it.

But the email from Rich on April 23 made it official - it was SOLD OUT.

But there's always a wait list. No worries.

WRONG! It got worse and worse (and worse!).

Eventually the wait list was closed - we were not on it
Eventually payments came due - everyone paid and no one canceled
Eventually it became clear - we were NOT going to be on this cruise

No way!
