Mate that's so obviously a fake. They'll have asked you for you credit card details and then you know what would have happened. Did you even enter their competition? 'Cos you don't win stuff if you didn't enter a competition.

It's a SCAM (of sorts). What they will do is try to get you to buy a timeshare as part of the agreement. They WILL give you the cruise (you'll probably have to pay taxes and such) but don't beleive it when they say "you will only have to go to a seminar about their timeshares that last 90 minutes". If you do't want to buy...it could last as long as 3 hours. Don't give them ANY info over the phone or internet other than your credit card number (never give them the the 3 digit code on the back of the credit card). They will need your CC number to pay your portion (the taxes and such) of the cruise before they can book it. REMEMBER...nowadays...you can get a cruise for as little as $199. So if you don't want to buy a timeshare...don't let them waste your time. You can usually even put down a deposit to book a cruise and pay it off up to 90 days before the cruise leaves.

You would only ligitimately win something if you entered the contest, and they would also contact you by phone. Usually those things are scams to get your credit/banking information.

The fact that you need to ask tells me you already know the answer. You have won absolutely nothing except the opportunity to get screwed over somehow.

be careful with those because sometimes they can trick you into giving your information and steal money from you. make sure they're not trying to trick you.

well it could've been for real, but if you really think about it the fees and other stuff would come to more that if you had paid for the trip through a travel agent. My guess is that you really did not miss anything.

You probable didn't win anything its all a scam to get your money don't be one of the greedy stupid people who get ripped off looking to get something for nothing . Nothing is free in life. If you want it work for it and pay for it.
