when I put it up "I" meant it to be royal resorts....not royal holiday club.

but your point is valid...i dont know how many clicked thinking it was one or the other.

I clicked it for Royal Resorts. That's what it says now - was it previously labeled differently?

I think it was just "royal" owners to begin with...and the royal holiday people were confused...as of now they are just part of "other"

Just out of curiousity, why is VRI listed here???

I'm well aware that VRI is a management company; I own several different weeks at two different VRI managed (but otherwise independent) resorts myself, neither one having anything at all to do with the other beyond having the same management company.

But VRI is not actually a resort "system", per se, so it would seem to be irrelevant and meaningless to have it listed among "ownership options". Nonetheless, I see that some folks have apparently (and inexplicably) listed it anyhow. Harmless, certainly, but also completely irrelevant, unless I am just missing something here...

P.S. It has belatedly occured to me that the VRI takeover of ORE (and its weeks) some time ago could, in fact, make VRI an "ownership system" in a limited sort of way, so I guess I withdraw my own question. If there is some other reason as well, I'd be glad to know it.

I counted myself as a Wyndham-Fairfield owner although I never owned a fairfield timeshare. I'm a Wyndham-San Franciso owner and there wasn't a category that reflected my ownership.

Also, I'm a TUG member but under my Avator it indicates I'm a guest.

Wyndham-Fairfield refers to two companies that have merged - Wyndham and Fairfield, it does not refer to the city of Farifield, CA.

I voted Celebrity

Hi. I am new to this forum and timeshares in general. We have owned ours for 3 years now. I voted for Celebrity but as I have owned it, it has been called Legacy Vacation Club.

Some Tuggers own more than one timeshare IMHO.
