Hi girls, I decided to book our group rate with the company that my sister works for, so I thought I was getting a great deal. We got our group rate and the travel agent told me I had to pay a 400 deposit to block 15 rooms, and that was it. Everything had to be paid by May 16. I told all of our guest the price and the date it had to be pay by, the date was approaching and no one other then us had bought their ticket, asking people they told me they had found the same hotel and same flight for a couple of hundred cheaper. So I talk to my TA and he said that there was nothing he could do about it, and the date of final payment was approaching so i had 2 options: cancel the group booking, but by doing this I had to pay a $3200 penalty, or I could leave it and hope that people decide to pay the price that we had, but if I took that option I would have to pay the full price for 10 ppl, flight and hotel. He never told me anything about that when we decided to go with a group booking. Also never sign a contract, it was all through phone and email. At the end I decided to cancel the booking and pay the penalty, and let all my guest get their tickets on their own...that way they cant complain about the price. for some reason when he change our tickets from group rate to normal Transtat refunded the full amount of my ticket.( I have a receipt from Transat saying that I paid in full, and I have looked at my tickets on line and they say confirm) he did charge me 3200 to my visa so i have a refund for $3900 and a payment of $3200. so at the end i only pay 3600 including the 400 deposit for our 2 weeks in Maya riviera. I haven't talk to him about it I'm scared that if I say anything he may charge me the rest... hopefully everything works out fine and i don't have any surprises when I go and get my seats. Good luck everyone 54 days to go....YAYYYYY
