Can anyone here get a Ritz Carlton room in Cancun for less than $400 starting tomorrow?

[stollen]

The $400 price is for 2 people. The Cruz family would have probably gotten two double rooms next to each other, or perhaps a suite. I didn't see where discounts were allowed. If I read Heidi's email correctly, she was paying $305/night.

1. That might be a nice can of Cruz worms to get openned: who paid for that little get away.

3. If it's a last minute trip, I wonder how they got the price so low.

I tried for two rooms, and that is $460/per room. I see no discounts for govt officials or anyone else. Perhaps it helps to just tell the manager you are a US Senator.

16. She said she goes there all the time so might have discount points

[stollen]

19. Yes. I've never been to Cancun...

curious about the place. I picture all inclusive hotels with watered down drinks.

2. I'm just amazed

that ANYONE would want to give ANY breaks to that slime bastard!

[stollen]

4. Maybe the Cruz family got a discount from being a Ritz Carlton club member

I'll ask my brother. He travels a lot.

Or perhaps because Heidi works for Goldman Sachs? I just pulled this from the WWW. Perhaps this get-away was a celebration?

Fun Fact: Heidi Cruz is Managing Director at Goldman Sachs which own several TX Utility Companies such as Energy Future Holdings, which spiked their prices just as TX froze. And a drilling company that operates in TX told its investors like Jerry Jones they hit the jackpot.

[Ahpook]

14. I'm amazed anyone keeps voting

to keep that sorry asshole in his seat.

When is this stupid shit going to end?

5. What did you have in mind?

[stollen]

12. I got my two shots and would like to get Ted's room at that rate...not a club member, though

On another topic, if Heidi works for Goldman Sachs, and if GS is invested in energy, and if the Cruz family is invested in GS, wouldn't that mean the Cruz family has benefited from the freeze? Has that been covered on DU? I'd like to read about that. TX energy is in high demand, and prices are going up.

6. yes no problems. I am a member of their club.

$294.00 per night starting next tuesday til next saturday. Of course, its less expensive during the week. Over the weekend its more.

[stollen]

8. Thank you! I need to become a club member.

7. I'll have to ask my secretary to ask her assistant to look into it, and get back to you (nt)

[stollen]

9. Drray just responded that he/she could get that rate

I travel overseas, and that's quite a discount. I need to join their club.

11. It's part of the Marriott program

They merged all of them (Starwood, etc.) about 1.5 years ago.

[stollen]

17. I'm with Starwood. Thanks for that info.

[mr_lebowski]

13. That's great, I have a whole bunch of other work for them to do (nt)

[WA-03 Democrat]

10. Cheaper $205

At trip.com prepaid checking in on 2/21 for 2 people

I have stay at this hotel pre-Covid. The location is like downtown Detroit with a beach. The service is excellent but not one I would stay at again. Hell, no travel until vaccinations so everything is off into the future.

[stollen]

15. Thank you! There goes my plan to get Ted's room!

Let me put this out there then. I'm reading that TX utility customers' utility bills are extremely high nnow that the demand is so great....like $10,000?? I've read that Heidi Cruz has a high position with Goldman Sachs. If Goldman Sachs is a utility investor, and the Cruz family is invested in GS, that means that they would be making a lot of money off the tragedy. Maybe they went to Cancun to celebrate, not be good parents.

18. Maybe because it was a weekday?

Less demand?

[Pisces]

20. This is the least thing we should be concerned about

21. Is this the group text?
