Club Resort Intervals, LLC. Volume 2 - Issue 2 Quarterly Newsletter-2011 Second Quarter Have You Ever Stayed In A Condo? 2011 Breaks Records With Condo Reservations! Vikki L. Shatney, Vice President of Operations Many of our members purchase their Club Resort Intervals membership at a sales office and hear it promoted as a Resort Travel Club Membership Program, but how many of you have ever visited a resort property and spent a week in a condo? 2011 has proved to be a record-breaking year for first-time resort visitors, as well as repeat visitors to condo properties around the World! More members are confirming one-week resort stays than ever before! At production, reports show that 2011 one-week resort stay reservations are up 25% over 2010! More Club Resort Intervals members are confirming one-week resort stays from only $149 per week than ever before. Another 2011 record is that we have confirmed more $149 Hot Weeks than any year prior. More and more members are experiencing the nearly 6,000 resort properties at less than $22 per night! You have confirmed more HotWeeks this year than ever before, awarding you and your families with the best savings opportunity your membership provides. We are anxious to send more members on vacations to these fantastic resorts, so that they may experience the savings and enjoyment a one-week resort stay brings. With this year’s influx of requests, we have expanded our offerings to include additional locations, properties, and sources for fulfillment of your requests. We monitor and update the Hot Week Getaways frequently and try, every week, to provide you with more options and opportunities to save on your CRIvacations! Holidays prove to be heavilytraveled times, as do school vacations. We ask that you request your one-week resort stays for travel during these times further in advance than normal.

Future Cruise Credits Carol Moglia, Travel Department While onboard a cruise, most cruise lines will provide you with the opportunity to purchase a future cruise credit. This means that you are able to book a future cruise that you will take at an undeclared future date on an unspecified ship. You decide the specifics of when to sail and on which ship at a later date, so that you do not have to spend your vacation time planning your next vacation. You can wait until you arrive back home. What is the advantage of the future cruise credit? You have a lower deposit amount and sometimes receive additional bonuses such as on board credit. For example, you could choose to book a fifteen-day cruise. It would normally be a $900 deposit to reserve a sailing of that length, but the cruise line will accept your future cruise credit of $100 as your deposit from you, their loyal customer. When you purchase a future cruise credit, the cruise line transmits that information to the agent that confirmed the cruise you are on. We keep the information on file and reference your credit number when you start to plan your next cruise. Credits are valid for four years and your money is never lost. Call today to plan your next cruise vacation with us! Featured Destination HAWAII One of our most requested travel destinations is Hawaii.
