at the end of the day, u have to realise that there are going to be times in your life where u simply don't have control over any and all situations. doesn't mean that u have to be happy with everything, but u also must understand that there will be moments where u have to have the attitude "shit happens" and move on.
this is a business for these people in charge. there is no sense of "home" for them other than other places they choose to visit. as much as u may wish it to be, outside of the people working at these resorts that u have personal contact with on each trip, to all others u are nothing but a dollar in their pocket. they feel no allegiance to u nor your groups, tho they glady accept each of the payments they receive for each visit. it may sound crass, but i feel sorry for some of u and the reactions u exhibit..............it's not THAT important and shouldn't be THAT much of your lives where u're almost suicidal over this.
IT SUCKS! IT SUCKS! can't deny it. but as someone else already said, u are free to spend your dollars anywhere and anyway u see fit. if u are not happy with the organisation and the decisions that they make regarding III, i wouldn't blame u for seeking to take your business elsewhere. however, at the same time be cognisant of the fact that at least there is a viable option in II (where we go) because imagine then what it would be like if there wasn't the resort in negril as a fallback.
outside of the EC's, and cooks, and bartenders and room service folk that u get to know over the visits, the hedo experience is still dominated, imho, by the other people that are there enjoying themselves, and i don't think there's too much of a difference from runaway to negril in terms of guests. if whole groups decide to go to negril instead, are they not STILL doing the same things with the same people under the same circumstances and environment? yes, it sucks to not be able to go to the same place that u are used to, but again it's about the experience and not so much the locale, as long as the other locale is ANOTHER HEDO.
if i was to be pissed about anything in this entire ordeal it would be that they were STILL taking reservations long before they admitted to these changes, and i'm confident this wasn't some sort of spur of the moment thing. i would be pissed had i gone thru a lot of trouble making arrangements that are simply not doable elsewhere. but at the end of the day i feel confident that MOST (maybe not all) "refugees" going to II will love the experience as much as they have in the past, especially knowing there's pretty much nowhere else to go.
