Caribbean Cruise Lines Scam "Free" Cruise, Agressive sales tactics, Harassing and threatening calls Boynton Beach Florida

This marketing ploy netted thousands of victims.  See www.thecaribbeancruisescam.com 

My wife and I have fallen victim to this same scam. My wife called to cancel our trip and get our money back and they have refused. Was the person in comment #4 able to get their money back? Does anyone have a suggestion on how to get our back. I am exploring our options with our credit card company. Is there a law enforcement agency that we can contact?

My wife received this same flyer in the mail and unfortunately agreed to their terms and gave the salesperson on the phone our credit card information. The salesman said to my wife on the phone that our flight for two to Florida would be covered by the amount we paid. We just got our travel information in the mail and it turns out that we still need to pay for one flight and we would receive a 2 for 1 voucher in the mail. My wife tried to cancel and they told her that a refund is not possible.

Was the person in comment number 3 able to get their money back from them? Does any one have a suggested means of getting our money back? I am exploring my options with my credit card company. Is there a Florida law enforcement agency I should contact?

I am also a victim of this scam. Beware of them, they have been harassing me and refusing to refund my money even after cancellation. They are big liars.

I used to work for the tampa office, calling people to give them their free cruises. It is not technically a scam, in that they do let let you take an all inclusivecruise on their ship for 2 days and all you have to pay is 59.00 a person in taxes. There is a ship, there is a cruise, and the only upfront fees are the port taxes i mentioned. however, there are other fees and costs once you board the ship, such as gratuities, a parking fee for leaving your car etc.

Also the woman who wrote this report is right on, they are EXTREMELY rude on the phone to people turning this deal down and they encourage their employees (or independent contractors as they pretend any employee is) to be rude. if you take no for an answer or are not pushy and rude you get in a lot of trouble. All you have to do when they continue to call is say the exact words, put me on your do not call list. They really will do that because there are some harsh federal laws about that and they are careful not to break the law. However if you just say, dont call me any more, they probably will still call, you have to be very specific and say "Put me on your do not call list". Being on the national one doesnt matter because they get your number from either a)something on the net or a win a free cruise drawing box like at a store or convention center where you or someone else put your number down to wina cruise. or b) you bought somethign from an infomercial or something like thatand after you bought your magic bullet or arthir3d supplements they "transferred" you to win your free cruise. even if you hang up before they transfer you they still get your number and will keep calling until you say put me on your dnc list. I got into trouble for putting people on the dnc list who werent saying those specific words so i know what im talking about.

And god forbid you WANT the free cruise, you have to spend literally an hour and a half or more listening to them pitch you their extended stay pacakges and trying to convince you to buy them before they let you have the free 2 day cruise.

try not to be hard on the poor guy or gal on the phone with you at first, they probably do not want to be nearly as pushy as they have to be but believe me if they dont and a manager or boss happens to be listening in to your calls (which they do often) they will be yelled at and ridiculed in front of everyone for it. Not to mention they will lose their job if it happens very often. I left as quickly as they could because they are just as bad to their "employees" or independent contractors as they call them as they are to their customers.

If you are tell the caller that you are and that he is being recorded. If his company calls again you will turn the number over to the Government and they will fine him. He will obviously hang up at that point and you will probably not hear from these scumbags again.
