Caribbean Cruise Lines
You won a free cruise to the Bahamas

Miscellaneous

Dear Sir,

I was informed I won a Caribbean Cruise. They said they were voted #1 by Porthole magazine. This was more of a come on then a free cruise. I agreed to everything they said, for an example, they said you qualify for a bonus to extend your cruise to one week BUT you have to pay 647 dollars.

This was a spontaneous act I did and my husband told me to cancel it & it was only a matter of hours that I tried to do this. Well the manager of Caribbean only agreed to issue me 500 dollars of my 647. (it will take 72 hrs to show up on my checking account the bank said).
I am a senior citizen & every penny counts.
Can you help me?

This sounds like my problemThis is what we were trained to do: Call people who had registered to win a free cruise, and tell them (ALL OF THEM) that they had won a free cruise to the Bahamas. We had to follow a script that made it sound so amazing and too good to pass up. All of it is basicly to get them to take part in the time share, and to purchase an all inclusive vacation for a week in Orlando for $538. All they had to pay was $538 and port taxes for the cruise.

While it may not be a COMPLETE scam, it is definately not on the up and up. And the people who work there are money hungry creeps.

My first call, the first one that let me get through my speech anyway, was an old man, who sounded like he had had a stroke because his voice was really slurry. He was so nice, and I felt like the devil as I continued through my speech. At the end when we ask for a credit card I handed him over to a supervisor, who takes over the call and to get the money. The man gave him his address, and it was for Prince Edward Island, a place I have always wanted to visit, because my whole childhood I was obsessed with Anne of Green Gables.

That pretty much did it for me, I decided I could not do this to another soul. I prayed the man would not give his credit card information, and he didn't. The supervisor on the phone became a total jerk to him and hung up on him. I told them that I wanted to quit. They told me I did such a good job and that was just a bad call. But I am a Christian, and do not believe in taking advantage of ANYONE ESPECIALLY someone who may not know what they are getting themselves into.
