... no longer a stranger to paradise
I see this all promotion over the web too, but a quick google search of bookit.com, which is the only booking agent for this package, brings up a slew of threads about scams, complaints, and frauds. Please be sure to research this company carefully before giving out your credit information.
Also, I know that bookit.com attempts to post spam on this forum a regular basis.
