The Watch-outs

If something sounds too good to be true, it probably is, especially when it involves wiring your life savings to a Turkish cruise company that's been in business for 3 months.

🥈ExpertEmbrace Today

Over 100 people drained their life savings, sold their homes, quit their jobs, shipped their belongings halfway around the world, all for a three-year cruise around the world.

🥈ExpertEmbrace Today

The company admits they couldn't afford to buy a ship. They told passengers their money wasn't being used for upfront capital.

🥈ExpertEmbrace Today

Investors pulled out faster than people evacuating the Titanic, except this time there was no ship to evacuate from.

🥈ExpertEmbrace Today

Some lost their life savings to a company that promised the world and delivered absolutely nothing.

Pro Tips From Creators

The most-shared advice for Embrace Today.

  1. Check your birth assignment before making plans and build in a 45-minute return buffer.

  2. Book whale-watching with a smaller independent operator rather than through the cruise line.

  3. Bring a dry bag for your phone and wallet on whale-watching tours.

  4. Pack a rain jacket, good hiking shoes, and bug spray.

  5. Cruise with cruise lines investing in advanced wastewater treatment systems.

  6. Wash your hands with soap to prevent norovirus.

  7. Wipe down high-touch surfaces in your cabin on day one.

  8. Pay attention during muster drills.
