Florida 333 / Imperial Majesty Cruise lines are liars and thieves! They took my money and I never received my cruise tickets Fort Lauderdale Florida

As I read the stories of those who have been ripped off by Florida 333/ imperial majesty cruise lines, I am moved to tears because it's too late for me. On February 18 2009, I got a call from a lady who called herself Marcia. She started out by saying she wanted to be the first to congratulate me for winning a draw for cruise line tickets that I had entered a few days before.

She claimed to be the senior travel co-coordinator ID #B19060. As the winner, she said I would receive a two day cruise to the Bahamas on a ship called the empress. On this cruise she claimed I and a friend would eat 8 meals a day and have 24 hour room service. When I though the offer could not get any better she said she'd throw in a seven day stay at the Ritz in Florida and a trip to Disney world for 4 all for the price of $440.

I vaguely remembered entering a cruise but it all sounded too good to be true. I was a bit disturbed when I was told I had to pay the money upfront. I explained that I was a student and I didn't have $440 to pay but was told I had to pay upfront to reserve my ticket. Since I didn't have $440, the billing manager asked me to pay $118 which was for port fees to the Bahamas. After paying, I was told I had 18 months to use my tickets and that the tickets would be mailed to me in 14 days. I was told the conversation was recorded and served as a receipt and a guarantee against fraud.

All Lies, Lies and more lies. I pray the people who did this will not rest easily. Money made dubiously will go away quickly.
