Anybody had an experience with Sunshine Vacations in Dublin?

  I'll preface this by saying I know they're going to try to sell me a vacation package, and I know there will be restrictions on the "free" gift.
  
  
  
  I signed up for a giveaway at RedsFest back in December. I've been contacted by Sunshine Vacations in Dublin about receiving (not winning...they were very clear on that!) a Bahamas cruise and possibly airfare for 2. I was planning a lunch date with my baby momma in the area anyway, so I scheduled a time to hear the info.
  
  How mean will I have to be when I say no? How many restrictions are placed on the cruise, datewise?

  They have been on me since I did the same thing at a CBJ game. I called them and set up a time for like March something. Don't know if we will attend yet.

  I'm not sure if they are the exact same company, but I did one of these close to Tuttle mall. You'll just have to tell several different people no, and it takes much longer than they say it will. The thing that got me is there was a restriction on how soon after (I think 30 days) you have to send in the vacation info, but I had to give them 6 months notice. it was in the fine print and I missed it, so no vacation for me.

  I had a friend that went to this. He said you basically sit in a room for 8 hours listening to people throw pitches. They start high and each guy/gal after them goes lower and lower and eventually you do get to the "free trip" However, when he rent to redeem it there were so many restrictions he couldn't find a free date. So he basically wasted a day of his life and never was able to go on the trip. I would be careful.
