Own a Cruiseshare !!!
Question:
Looks like the old Taras Shevchenko??
Response:
Why would you expect them to? Which TA do you know that sells timeshares? And maybe they don’t because of the overall feeling about timeshares in general. Some are excellent, but the whole market has had more than its share of con artists. And finally, all TA’s are businessmen and women, interested in making a profit, that is what business is. Since timeshares are never sold through TA’s, where is the profit in this for them? Interesting article, thanks for posting in spite of the negative spin you tried to apply.
