Hi seaprincess22:

Instead of repeating over and over, please look through the archives at this website as well as on two other boards for numerous postings about this same subject.

try: www.grand-bahama.com (click on newsgroup)
try: www.bahamas-mon.com (click on travel forum and then scroll down to Freeport).

I have left postings on this board about Island Palm and Redwood Inn.. Please look back through the archives. I get these "win cruises" all the time in the mail and i just toss them in the trash can.

Please do read the other postings and if you need more info. feel free to email me directly. Is it the "Discovery Cruise" that you are going on? I can send you info. on it too.

Good luck.

best regards

Carrie
