VACAYA has built an incredible community of followers on the various social media platforms – TikTok<\/a>, Instagram<\/a>, YouTube<\/a>, X<\/a>, and Facebook<\/a> – and we hope you’ve enjoyed our efforts. Our team works tirelessly to create fun content that will hopefully give you a laugh and\/or inspire you to join us on a future trip. And while we want to encourage you to continue engaging with us on ALL the platforms, we’re making some substantive changes in how we specifically use Facebook <\/em>for our business…<\/p>\n On August 1, 2024, VACAYA will begin archiving and deleting all of our trip-specific Facebook Groups. We’ll no longer host an \u201cOfficial Facebook Group\u201d for each trip. The reasons are many, and we want to be completely transparent with you as to why we’re making these moves. So, grab a drink and join us on this journey through Mark Zuckerberg’s once magnificent, but now absolutely unruly Frankenstein<\/span><\/span><\/span>ian creation. Bottoms up and here we go!<\/p>\n And while we appreciate others chiming in to help answer questions (which really is the<\/em> spirit of VACAYA), the information provided is sometimes incomplete or no longer applicable. The rules in the charter business bear almost zero resemblance to standard non-charter cruises, and the rules change from trip to trip. And as we\u2019ve seen in our Groups (and really across every<\/em> social media platform), \u201cexperts\u201d are everywhere, speaking with definitive authority, but oftentimes they\u2019re simply wrong. This creates a whole other level of recovery that has to be done for the originally-posting guest. It\u2019s a tidal wave of misinformation, disinformation, misplaced comedy, and in an unwelcome evolution, occasionally unkindness.<\/p>\n All that being said, we recognize there are certain aspects that remain great \u2013 mainly connecting socially to other travelers in advance and sharing great tips. And we\u2019re already working on ways to enhance those connections, just not on Facebook. The ideas around this will take a while to fully form, but we\u2019re hoping the results will ultimately be better for you and for VACAYA.<\/p>\n After August 1, the following VACAYA Groups will remain:<\/p>\n In addition, we\u2019ve added a new one for those looking to sell\/buy a room on a VACAYA trip:<\/p>\n And as always, our main VACAYA Facebook page will remain a resource for everything happening at VACAYA, including the announcement of new trips. You can Like\/Follow that page HERE<\/a>.<\/p>\n For general questions about a VACAYA trip you\u2019ve booked, we encourage you to email your V Team Vacation Planners at info@myvacaya.com<\/a>. Requests that come in there will be responded to quickly and personally, allowing us to serve you in a much more efficient way. If a question comes in multiple times, we\u2019ll then address it more globally on the trip\u2019s GET READY<\/a> page.<\/p>\n And so you\u2019re completely \u201cin the know\u201d with our communication timelines (which will help avoid questions like \u201cwhen will we get our booking numbers?\u201d<\/em>), here are the communication milestones you can expect from us:<\/p>\n Of course, we\u2019ll communicate other items by email as they come up, as well, but inevitably, you\u2019ll use our emails and the tools we provide (chiefly, your trip\u2019s GET READY<\/a> page) to stay informed about your trip. Yes, reading is fundamental to staying \u201cin the know,\u201d but we\u2019ll always be as concise as we can with issues that are inherently complex and require deeper explanation (like this one).<\/p>\n If you\u2019re looking for the social high of connecting with other Vacayans pre-trip, we can recommend the VACAYA LGBTQ+ Super Fan Group<\/a><\/strong>. The folks behind this page are great, but keep in mind that they\u2019re unaffiliated with VACAYA (other than being big fans and frequent travelers with us) and they will<\/em> call out anyone whose behavior warrants. Of course, we also recognize some of you may want to start private groups of your own. If you choose to do that, despite all the challenges outlined in this blog, please make yourself familiar with the policies surrounding Private Social Group Formation<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n Thank you for your time and your understanding here. We\u2019ll leave you with this: no matter where you choose to engage, be kind, patient, and generous in spirit. If you do, you\u2019ll be greatly rewarded with the real-life connections that come with every VACAYA vacation.<\/p>\n Thank you, [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=\u00a0\u00bb1″ admin_label=\u00a0\u00bbBlog Trip Tiles\u00a0\u00bb _builder_version=\u00a0\u00bb4.17.6″ _module_preset=\u00a0\u00bbdefault\u00a0\u00bb global_colors_info=\u00a0\u00bb{}\u00a0\u00bb][et_pb_row _builder_version=\u00a0\u00bb4.17.6″ _module_preset=\u00a0\u00bbdefault\u00a0\u00bb global_colors_info=\u00a0\u00bb{}\u00a0\u00bb][et_pb_column type=\u00a0\u00bb4_4″ _builder_version=\u00a0\u00bb4.17.6″ _module_preset=\u00a0\u00bbdefault\u00a0\u00bb global_colors_info=\u00a0\u00bb{}\u00a0\u00bb][et_pb_divider color=\u00a0\u00bb#000000″ divider_position=\u00a0\u00bbcenter\u00a0\u00bb _builder_version=\u00a0\u00bb4.17.6″ _module_preset=\u00a0\u00bbdefault\u00a0\u00bb global_colors_info=\u00a0\u00bb{}\u00a0\u00bb][\/et_pb_divider][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=\u00a0\u00bb4.17.6″ _module_preset=\u00a0\u00bbdefault\u00a0\u00bb global_colors_info=\u00a0\u00bb{}\u00a0\u00bb][et_pb_column type=\u00a0\u00bb4_4″ _builder_version=\u00a0\u00bb4.17.6″ _module_preset=\u00a0\u00bbdefault\u00a0\u00bb global_colors_info=\u00a0\u00bb{}\u00a0\u00bb][et_pb_text admin_label=\u00a0\u00bbSection Title – H3″ _builder_version=\u00a0\u00bb4.17.6″ _module_preset=\u00a0\u00bbdefault\u00a0\u00bb header_3_font=\u00a0\u00bbFutura Bold|||on|||||\u00a0\u00bb header_3_text_align=\u00a0\u00bbcenter\u00a0\u00bb header_3_text_color=\u00a0\u00bb#000000″ header_3_font_size=\u00a0\u00bb18px\u00a0\u00bb header_3_letter_spacing=\u00a0\u00bb1.8px\u00a0\u00bb header_3_line_height=\u00a0\u00bb24px\u00a0\u00bb custom_margin=\u00a0\u00bb||||false|false\u00a0\u00bb custom_margin_tablet=\u00a0\u00bb||||false|false\u00a0\u00bb custom_margin_phone=\u00a0\u00bb||||false|false\u00a0\u00bb custom_margin_last_edited=\u00a0\u00bbon|phone\u00a0\u00bb custom_padding=\u00a0\u00bb||||false|false\u00a0\u00bb global_colors_info=\u00a0\u00bb{}\u00a0\u00bb]<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=\u00a0\u00bb4.17.6″ _module_preset=\u00a0\u00bbdefault\u00a0\u00bb global_colors_info=\u00a0\u00bb{}\u00a0\u00bb][et_pb_column type=\u00a0\u00bb4_4″ _builder_version=\u00a0\u00bb4.17.6″ _module_preset=\u00a0\u00bbdefault\u00a0\u00bb global_colors_info=\u00a0\u00bb{}\u00a0\u00bb][et_pb_text _builder_version=\u00a0\u00bb4.17.6″ _module_preset=\u00a0\u00bbdefault\u00a0\u00bb global_colors_info=\u00a0\u00bb{}\u00a0\u00bb]\n
