Turks & Caicos Explorer II |
Chosen August 15, 2007 |
''On our two prior Explorer Ventures trips, Sherra and I did not think things could any better as we experienced wonderful diving, fantastic food, friendly and helpful staff and great Captains. By winning reservation roulette, we've discovered something even more awesome -- diving with the Explorer crew for free !! Your phone call announcing us as the lucky winner was the perfect way to start our return trip to Turks and Caicos. Time to finish packing for what we are sure will be another wonderful week of diving on the Explorer. Thank you.'' |

| Julia and Lynn Rasmussen - USA |
Caribbean Explorer I |
Chosen 1 February, 2006 - traveling May 20, 2006 |
Julia Rasmussen and her husband Lynn, of Salem, Wisconsin, USA, contacted us in January to research their next vacation to celebrate their 23rd wedding anniversary. First-time clients of Explorer Ventures, they signed up for our email newsletter this past year at the Chicago dive show. They decided to book the Bahamas itinerary aboard Caribbean Explorer I, both due to the excellent value the trip represents and due to the fact that we had a current Reservation Roulette game applicable to their dates. In early February, we were thrilled to contact Julia, and to tell her that her trip aboard the Caribbean Explorer I on May 20th would be free! As Julia subsequently emailed us, "My husband is usually the lucky one in the family, so it's going to be great calling him this evening to let him know I WON :-)"Congratulations, Julia - we look forward to seeing you both on board! |
