Let me tell you why I am hesitant to start the club myself... - I am new to the Villages (Moved in Feb. 2013)
- Mostly because I am a travel agent and I do not want people to think I am trying to start a club to lure in buyers. I am not! We really do love cruising and honestly as long as I am on a ship it doesn't matter to me where you booked your cruise. Don't get me wrong I would love to have you as clients but I will not solicit anyone.
I am not a 'hard sell' type of person and so I don't want anyone to think I am trying to sell them a cruise every time I see them. I am genuinely interested in meeting new people here in The Villages.
I do have access to sales reps from various cruise lines that can come and give a presentation and if we do decide to go on a group cruise, they can offer us some extra perks.
We can also have people share their pictures and experiences if they go on an unusual cruise or one that member are interested in hearing about.
What do you think?
Would you be interested? Do you think its a conflict for me to start the club?
Thanks in advance for your feedback!

Something very similar to what you are proposing has already been done here, it was closed down by TV. I was there when it happened, we were shut out of the Rec Center.
