In November I bought Two Companion Cruise offered by Prestiege Travel Systems for $60 each. I also had to pay $25. Registration fee for each. These were to be used in 18 months.
I recently decided to check on the price and take the cruises in April as they go out in May. My husband bought one and I bought one as we have different house holds and two addresses we were told we could use two cruises at the time I bought these.
I checked on the cruises I would like to take and found the prices directly for the Royal Caribbean site. The listing for a inside room was $349. Prestiege travel agent Marcus quoted me $819 for one person and a "free" companion. The companion cruise offer clearly states "the first passanger will pay the brochure, super saver, early bird, value fare or other equivalent discouhnt fare plus port charges and gov't taxes and the companion pays only port charges and gov't taxes."
I just returned from a Royal Caribbean Eastern Caribbean cruise that was from Oct 2 - Oct 9. On the Mariner of the Seas. A seven day cruise on a much better ship and payed $849. For both my husband and I. I am well aware the cost of taxes and port charges.
This offer is a rip off and the people that take advantage of the public in this maner should be shut down or severly penalized for false advertizing and misleading of the public. If a person can buy a cruise on the exact same date, same ship and all from the cruise company itself. What is going on? Rip off!!!
