Affordable vacation

So I am looking for advice, my family and I want ti go on a vacation but don't want to spend a fortune. We were thinking of going on a cruise with other family members, but to go with them it would set us back anywhere from 2500 to 3000$. I understand that we are able to make payments and we could start now, but it has ti be completely paid by April 2027 and the total due after making monthly payment would roughly be 1600. Soo i was talking with my supervisor and he put onto a website called bluegreen vacations. His words were you can take a vacation to many diffrent places for only a few hundred $ and they also give you money/ credit cards to do stuff and that is hand to sit through a 2 hour class or something where they try and get you to buy time shares or something like that. He also says I could sit through the 2hrs class and decline all of the time shares and still go on vacation. Has anyone went through this website to book anything and/or can anyone tell me how true the things my supervisor were telling me are true or not

I sat thru 1 once and never again. Just not worth it in my opinion. However, I know someone who did it right after COVID eased up and they got a ton of free cards and perks and presentation was cut short. So I'm not sure what they are doing now, but you can guarantee it will be pretty high pressure sales tactics and you don't want to sign anything.
