This too. Same organiser.
Booking is for July to Sept.
A few points to note:
1) Organiser is not the authorised agent. But
<font color="ff0000">have known a group of Star Cruise Members who are interested to bring non-memebers to go on board with a small token of exchange.</font>
2) pay the $ (full amt or 50% - more than $300) to a stranger for months and hope that he/she will NOT play you out or turn up on that day itself. But what nobody turn up?
pls see the HUGE AMT, IF 100 mummies sign up, it will be $30,000 (prudent amt) to be held by the organiser.
End of the day if any happen, even if we file a police report, DOES NOT MEAN that we could recover our money immeidately. It will take years and will be very tiring to fight back the $ go through the legal procedure.
3) we will have to provide them with our all personal particulars, FULL NAME/PASSPORT NO./PASSPORT EXPIRY DATE/DATE OF BIRTH before hand.
4) T&C said will refund if the cruise is not available. but never said how long mummies will get the refund.
Just my 2 cents worth. Of course, not all organisers are like RWS organiser, and not all are con cases. But when this type of BP being approved, mummies will tend to think that it is ok to join and without weighing the HIGH RISKS they are facing.
Lastly, please DO NOT forget, before the RWS organiser business partner dissappeared, all looked fine and the mummies who joined also posted in the thread that they enjoyed the stay and claimed that was a "genuine" deal.
