Thus spake "Dorothy" :

>Sounds like a wonderful deal.

Does it sound too good to be true? Then it probably is. In this
case, it is.

There's no such thing as "deeply discounted" airfare, sometimes you
get some decent rates on hotels, but usually have to present your
IATAN card, which you EARN. As far as "deeply discounted" cruises,
those are few and far between, and typically have a trigger date of a
couple of weeks.

Are you saying the fees you would pay are $7,000? There's no way
you'll save that much money.

You are so screwed.
