    Some of these are scams where they bill your credit card for a lot more money than the $298. There have been articles about them in the newspapers here in Florida. Others you are stuck listening to sales pitches over and over again. It is not worth it. Carnival has some cheap cruises out of Florida and you don't risk being charged lots of money.

    This is either a sale trick (the only way youd get your vacation is to buy a very expencive time share vacation) or scam.

    The time share salers are REALY good at pushing you into bying things you dont want so dont go on theyre sales pitch unless you dont want to buy from them. If you go you could easily find yourself spending the better part of the day without getting a thing out of it.

    If its a scam (and theese days you can almost find a real 7 night cruise for $298 on the net!) youd could be riped out of youre entire credit card balance or forced into spending $30 or so every mounth for an enternity!

    The basic rule is: If you dont pay anything for a lottery ticket then its a scam or time share sale trick and no serious lottery would charge you for your win!

    If youre still interested into this **** then browse the cruise lines listed below to find out what theyre sales have to offer! Youd be surprised... Johan.

    Don't do it!

    You can buy a cruise trip for 300/person and not have to listen to any sales pitch.

    It IS a sales pitch.... I wouldn't do it... They overly pressure you to buy buy buy...

    We went to one to check it out because we were getting like $500.00 just to hear it... Boy were we young and dumb! LOL We got there and from the start to finish it was this is what we have "NOW BUY IT"... Of course, we declined... seriously, $20,000.00 for a time share rental? It was going to cost more than my new car... When I explained that to them, they brought over a manager and he told me they had some "returns" (so to speak, its a hotel for pete's sake) and they were like "last years" deals... I saw the cheapest one was $14,000.00 and that was only able to be used from like Jan. - mid March. That is it.

    So, I would tell them thanks, but no thanks.... Unless you're looking for a time share.
