The only people that I know that "won" a free cruise either won it on a cruise ship or they had to lose a lot of money at a casino (example: I met a lady who "won" a free cruise on with NCL because she is a regular at Harrah's Casino).

I went to a seminar that also promised a Caribbean cruise. Went to the 4 hour sales pitch. Once they realized we weren’t going to cave we received a voucher for the trip. A few days pass and I receive a letter explaining some kind of fee that needed to be paid. I think it was $100 each. Ok, wrote the check and stick in the mail. About a month after that I received a certified letter informing me that the company had gone bankruptcy. So much for “free”.

This happened to me when I just *fell off the turnip truck* ...at the ripe old age of 21. I put my name into a fishbowl at a Chinese restaurant to _”win a free cruise to the Bahamas!!”_ 🇧🇸 Riiiiiiight. I really learned the hard way. I too, was required to go to a fancy resort for the 5-hour timeshare sales pitch, and the high pressure salespeople almost made me have a damn anxiety attack. They would NOT take the answer *no* - and I just kept repeating that I was a poor college kid, and couldn’t afford the cruise, that’s why I needed a FREE CRUISE, I had no money! It was a shit-show. They finally threw their hands up in disgust and frustration with me and sent me back to my horribly shitty motel in town. 45 minute taxi ride which I had to pay for. What a *SCAM* !!!

MSC Preziosa has to have been the worst cruise ever taken by us with over 60 cruises. Poor food in buffet and restaraunt, terrible service, awful shows the list is endless. The funny thing though, if we had experienced the failed port calls today that occured on a 7 night cruise, we could have claimed more back from our insurers that we paid for the cruise. Sums it up really. More Reliable Cruising is out there.

Many years ago I fell for a promotion like this, I paid $86 but never took the cruise, I thought that was ridiculous to go all the way across the country and rearrange my schedule and all the trouble that leaving entail, just to get a three days cruise, so I just lost the $86, years later they call me again trying to get me to go to the cruise, I didn't …. It is just plain scam. The Worse cruise I have ever been is in the Holland America cruise line: the Zaandam, bad choice: went to Alaska, the ship was more like a cargo ship, part of the ship smelled like a sewer, the food was not good at all and the shows were terrible, DEPRESSIN, to this day, 6 six years later I have nightmares when I remember the woman singer that sounded more like shrieking beast. NEVER SAIL IN THE ZAANDAM FROM HOLLAND AMERICA.

Even legit "vacations" associated with time share promotions can be a scam. I went to Florida courtesy of a major hotel chain (no names) and got the boiler room treatment along the way. The giveaway was that they wanted my signature BEFORE I saw any contract. As with any "free" offer, you have to use your common sense and learn how to say NO and mean it.

Yes indeed, I have always been rather suspicious of these 'free cruise' offers. I never fall for that as of course it seems to be too good to be true. I was afraid I might have run into a scam like this, fortunately I had a bad hunch about them and thus never got cheated!... I shy away from cruise liners as usually the two favourite parts of a ship is the bridge and the engine room, and unless one can find someone who can bend the rules a bit, usually these are off limits (especially the engine rooms)! Maybe I might try a short cruise somewhere, but it of course has to be a good ship! (The ships that really would have interested me were the dirigibles or Zeppelins! (Filled with helium and never hydrogen of course)! The Zeppelin firm built three airships, on at Friedrichshafen one in Japan and unfortunately wound up being too expensive the one at Moffett Field near San Francisco bit the dust a few years ago and I never could afford to fly in her! Oh well!

Sales Convention scam this is. I have a really good piece of advice. Get ensconced on the boat so they can't chuck you off, and then ask them for hard copies of the sales pitch because you are deaf. Yes....being deaf means you cant absorb the sales pitch. My brother went on one of these that left Ft Lauderdale for 10 days. He had a great time because they could not cater for his deafness. He is quite sure they would have bumped him before he boarded.

That is not the worst. The very worst is Princess transatlantic. NEVER EVER take that line trans ocean. All cruises to some degree use trans Atlantic travel to do minor repairs and such. Often the entertainment is slightly sub par, as is the food. Celebrity and Royal Caribbean are both a JOY to travel across the ocean. I hate flying, so I always cruise when traveling to Europe and back. I'll never ever take Princess for Atlantic travel again. They are constantly horrible. But!!!! They are wonderful for Alaska. Yes! Do take them for Alaska cruises.

so when can I get one of these free cruise vouchers? I can wait to sit at the timeshare meetings and waste their time. I would either sign the contract F**K you or just tear it up right in front of them. timeshares are a scam in which you pay for a second property and only allowed to use it one week out of the year and the week you want may be booked by someone else already. the ONLY benefit of owning a timeshare in another country is that you don't have to claim it as a second property in your country. lets just say you bought it for $20,000. the maintenance fees on it are $200 for the year. (yes for those that have timeshares I know they are more as my parents bought one but then sold it as they weren't using it). the timeshare company sold that unit out for every week of a year. $200 x 52= $10,400. so in the first year the timeshare company made just over 10k in maintenance fees alone, not to mention the $1,040,000 they made if everyone bought that one unit at $20,000 each.

Don, I can totally empathize with you on this one. In 2013, I got bit by Caribbean Cruise Lines, and haven't taken the cruise yet, and it's now 2017. After booking the date to take cruise, the cruise agency kept stalling and delaying sending out the package materials. I was finally able to look at the itinerary in detail a month before the departure date. It would have been too complicated with the flight arrival, the timing of having to be at the airport to pick up the car, get to the hotel to get the discounted coupons, be present at the high pressure property presentations, and get to the multiple ship dockings on time. Not to mention nickel and dimming you to death in ways that even regular cruise outfits don't do. It was not going to be a stress free time. So, I asked for a refund. Lol...still waiting

OMG! Sounds like terror on the high seas! I would have hijacked one of the life boats or commandeered one of the dinghys and rowed back to the shore, just to get off that hellish ship! I keep getting these calls constantly. I answer and its a ship horn blasting in my ear and a recording telling me I just hit the jackpot and am the winner of some fabulous cruise. Now I know my suspicions were totally right. It is nothing but a scam! Thanks for the confirmation!

Amazing that you fell for this. This scam has been around for years. And they run similar ones in Orlando for timeshares as well. Best to throw out those cards.

lol I didn't really fall for this I took this cruise so I could have video and photo's of how bad it was when my clients were asking for it. I knew this was not going to end well lol. and yes avoid all these timeshares at all costs they are not worth it.

Hi there. The Victory is a bit of an older ship being built in 2000 makes her going on 18 which is old for a cruise ship. it did get an update in 2013 and added some new restaurants and updated the rooms a bit. you might want to set aside some cash for the upgraded dining as the reviews from agents and guests are really mixed. some love it some hate it and most say it's just okay. being slightly smaller the ship can seem crowded and this really goes for around the pools on sea days. the pools are a bit small for a cruise ship in 2017. the service however get's high marks most times and almost everyone agree's the ship is perfect for first time cruisers. it gives you a good taste of what cruising is all about and you can judge if moving up to a newer and larger ship is more for you. if you start with the best ship out there then there's no where to go but down so any other ship will not seem as good. I think this ship is a good choice for you 1st cruise. just know it's an older slightly more crowded ship than most. and watch out for the food as it can be hit and miss in the main dining. hope this helps

Yadiel's Production I went on the Victory in August of 2016, and it was ok but not the best. Sometimes it was hard to find things to do. A lot of the fun you have is while you're in port.
