You have to upgrade your membership first. Your premium membership has lapsed. See it says MEMBER under your name vs Premier Member.  (Don't worry...it happens to everyone at least once!)

 

gallery_2_176_16448.jpg

 

In EVERY trip we have a QUESTIONS QUESTIONS QUESTIONS #3 TOPIC and it includes HOW TO UPGRADE YOUR MEMBERSHIP as well as HOW TO BOOK etc.  Fortunately you are in this #3 topic right now. So after reading this reply scroll up to the first post in this topic and you'll see how to renew or upgrade your dues in case you have forgotten.

 

Yeah...not as easy, smooth and cool as Amazon...but we are still waiting for one of our members to win the lottery and buy us a new updated booking site! Or maybe leave us a chunk of money in their will.

 

Don't laugh... the site we have is because a uber talented member got frustrated with how we did our trip booking and so built us another one. Oh and our logo the same. In fact everything we have has been a donation from a member! :respect:

 

So either post any add'l questions or email trips@singledivers.com and we'll do our best to help you. Thanks Gary!

 

p.s If you sign up via paypal it will auto renew your dues until you stop it via your paypal admin control panel...so do that and you'll ALWAYS be able to book at trip ANY time you want because your dues will ALWAYS BE CURRENT! :wakawaka:

Hi not sure how this works in terms of getting info to other participants. But I have booked a room for the night of the 27 at the Miami international hotel at the air port. Its a double bed and more than willing to split the cost if some one wants the other bed.

Hi! New to the group. This is probably a stupid question but what does D/O and S/O mean when I’m trying to choose a female room share room? The only option that I understood was couples share.

Hi Michele and no worries, we get that question more often than you might suspect as it is not a term found in most normal conversation.

We are definitely filling the remaining spots quickly! We just sent you an email message to let you know we have processed your Premier subscription. Watch for another email message with a few more details regarding this trip. :diver:

No worries...you did great figuring it out. We will ensure you get a same gender roommate but since we are now less than 45 days out its no longer 100% guaranteed. But we have other interest in the trip so its MOSTLY guaranteed.  With air still very reasonable and Dominica being such a pristine... FOR NOW ANYWAY...destination...we expect a few more peeps to jump on.

 

I asked Brad to work with you on your screen name to be something more fun and creative. As you can see we USE them so there is one last chance to change it before you book a trip. If you book a trip we can never change it. Fingers crossed we can get it under the wire quickly!

 

:welcome: and Glad you found us! Kamala
