Has anyone gone on a complimentary short cruise vacation offered to you by simply completing a survey?

Sunday, September 28th, 2008
smiles asked:


I just participated on an automated 10 question phone survey where after completion they offered a complimentary cruise vacation for 2 days/2 nights to Nassau/Bahamas leaving from Ft Lauderdale. The cruise ship is the Regal Empress from Imperial Majesty Cruise Lines.
Has anyone been on this ship?
Has anyone ever participated in a deal like this?

I don’t believe this to be anything relating to time-share or anything where I would need to participate in a 90 min program. However, I’m not sure.

The survey just asked very generic questions, and did not ask for anything personal or any credit card information. Someone from the cruise line is supposed to call me to finalize all the accomodations in a few days.

It just sounds a little too good to be true.

((and I know it’s not going to be a large new ship and that’s ok, as this will be my first cruise))

cjh asked:


I just got back from a 5 day 4 night Royal Caribbean Cruise that went to the Bahamas. There were no single women my age. From what I understand it is better to go on week long trip to Mexico or the Southern Caribbean on a Carnival Cruise. Help me out. I want to go back on a cruise but one with less families and less teenagers. Be sure to list a cruise line and cruise route

And while at this, how many stopovers would it be normal for a cruise of this ammount of time to take?

Monday, September 8th, 2008
cj8307 asked:


My husband is coming back from Iraq soon and I am planning a cruise. We never got a chance to have a honeymoon and I thought that would be a great welcome home present and sort of a late honeymoon. This will be our first trip together and I want it to be very romantic. Which room should we get (meaning like oceanview ,balcony.etc)? and what is the best cruise line to go on?
