5th Avenue Vacations, Too Good To Be True Scam? Or Legit Vaca Opportunity for someone between jobs?
I got a call this morning telling me I won a trip from a drawing I entered. It’s a 5 day 4 night stay at a hotel in the bahamas with all inclusive cruises to and from the island. They require you pay taxes and booking fees which equals to 89.99. Per person. Once you are there they basically only cover the hotel cost. You pay food, drink, activities. Which is really fine cause the cost of transportation and hotel alone add up quickly.
Now what I want to know is how legit is this? I have read several reviews but most of them are from people in my same situation. Have the phone call, not paid the money and not yet taken the trip. Is there ANYONE that can tell me anything about this before I decide to dish out $90 and wait for information?
(ps. there is also no physical address on their website)
I have until August 25th to claim the trip. So please, help.
Thank you!
This has been on Yahoo answers for a while now. I responded a few months ago about how I did some research & I felt better when I got all the documents in the mail. Anyway; me & my girlfriend went for 4th of July and it was awesome! My biggest disbelief was when they said “Free Drinks” on the ship & I was shocked to find out, they give free drinks, you have to just order a rum & coke if you order “top shelf” liquor there is a charge but regular rum is actually free. If we go again, the only thing I would change is to get the upgrade dinner on the ship. We had the buffet and it was really good, but we met another couple who did the upgrade and they raved about the dinner and not having to wait in lines, plus they got off the ship faster than we did.
The hotel was decent but nothing fancy. But, we were never there all we did was sleep & shower there. The beaches are so cool and the ocean looks like a big swimming pool. We spent most of our time at the beach and at the straw market, we loved Rum Runners, it reminded me of a Key West bar. We also did this fish fry thing the night we got in, it was very cool kind of a street party in a neighborhood with the locals & types all music coming out of all their cars.
