haha...already spent a few minutes this morning trying to figure it out but came up dry. There's a way to search (learned it on cruisecritic) but I can't remember all of the tricks. I'll be interested to see if someone can figure it out.

I posted on another thread, but my educated guess is 'Olivia'. They frequently book the entire Mauna Lani Bay Hotel and close access to everyone else.

seriously greg? as i said in thread, were not talking about an expensive property.

just IDed the booking. it was a group, with individuals paying, not organization, although organization/agent presumably did a guarantee (or prepay) with hotel. im seeing apr 5 > 15. rates are high, mainly because all-inclusive, but might also be because individual and guarantee may be less than 100% occupancy. makes me wonder how common this kind of thing is. (group exclusive use)

olivia would handle bookings a similar way, with individuals paying, regardless of whether organization prepays or just guarantees. i wish i could find contract discussion online. clearly some of the cruises for example must be contingent, considering the amounts involved.
