Have you ever done this? Is it legit? I rcv’d notice of 5 day 5 night cruise for 2 plus 3 day 2 night deluxe
stay at specific destinations if I *only* attend a 90-120 minute presentation for Williamsburg Plantation. I totally know this is a super high pressure sales event of property, but is the cruise and stay worth it? Is it as great as it sounds? It seems it may be worth it, but I don’t know for sure. Are the accommodations really cruddy, or good?
Thanks for any advice. It looks tempting to me!
Hey,I got the same thing!
Lets go together

$21.95 South Carolina in the 18th century was a colony that had been built on the back of slave labor.

A trip to Williamsburg, Virginia provides the rare opportunity of literally stepping into history while still enjoying all the modern comforts of home. The area’s biggest attraction is America’s Historic Triangle, which is made up of: Historic Jamestowne, the first permanent English settlement in the New World, the Yorktown Battlefield, site of the last major battle of the American Revolutionary War and of course Colonial Williamsburg, world’s largest living history museum.
Colonial Williamsburg is a treat for history buffs and younger students of American history. It is a re-creation of 18th-century Williamsburg comprised of 301 acres of historic buildings and gardens where costumed docents pursue their trades and depict aspects of Colonial life. You can visit the blacksmith, take part in the everyday life of the city and interact with its citizens while large “streetscape” performances take place as well as smaller demonstrations.
Once you’re done walking through history, you can step aboard the latest high-tech thrill rides and roller coasters at Busch Gardens Europe. One of the newest rides is the Griffon, the world’s first floorless and world’s tallest dive coaster which carries you 205 feet in the air and then comes straight down at 75 mph.
Other attractions in the area include Water Country USA, Go-Karts Plus, Williamsburg Pottery and the Williamsburg Winery.
