Creator's Key Takeaways

I have again another travel cruise scam to talk about this one happened as recently as last week on June 15th

they spent over $13,000 and even the airfare was booked for them

you should be getting something from the cruise lines themselves the minute somebody contacts me

get the carnival documentation it's not going to be able to be copied by no means

Creator's Tips & Advice

Always get documentation directly from the cruise line, not just an agency copy
Verify your booking online using the cruise line's website with your booking number
Never pay a deposit without confirmed cabins from the cruise line
Avoid travel agencies that hold money for group bookings without immediate cabin reservations
