I'm sorry, but this doesn't appear to be a prize. This appears to be one of those bait and hook travel agencies that give you something for free hoping to hook you in to paying for something else.

There was a "Dream World Vacations" or something like that that did have a sweepstakes but was calling up everyone telling them they won a trip, but then they tried to sell you on other vacation packages.

One way of knowing if this is an actual prize is if they Fedex an affidavit to you to be signed and notarized with the rules of the sweepstakes attached.

Yea. i was thinking the same thing
i got one of those too. but, it was for las vegas. bummer!
but, if it's a legit win, congrats! :)
 
The cruise itself is complimentary, and I kind of think of it as a "sort of" win because I did not have to buy anything.
 
These people can be pain in the butts. The "Dream" people kept telling us that we won a trip to Las Vegas...blah, blah, blah. Then came the pitch. For $600.00+, we would get an additional four more vacations, discounted airline tickets...blah, blah, blah. They kept calling us, and we kept asking for the affidavit. First, they said they were putting it in the mail; but, of course, nothing ever came. We told them to stop calling us, we weren't interested and that was that. I remember other members posting getting the same call(s).

Nothing is free. They'll probably lock you in a room on the ship for a timeshare pitch!!!!!!!!! :laughing:

Lock u in a room.....LMAO! (I can see it now........ In a chair , hands behind chair bounded w/ duct tape) :laughing: :laughing:
 
:sunny: I would be very careful about accepting this complimentary trip. There seem to be several hidden charges including the $59 per person port tax that must be paid at time of booking that is not refundable. I get this type of offers almost daily.
