BEWARE OF GRAND BAHAMA CRUISE LINE SCAM!!! My husband kept getting calls from this number, the first time he was told if he takes a short automated survey he could win a free cruise, it was literally 3 yes or no questions, he was told he won. In 2-3 occasions that they called, my husband was driving so he asked for a number to call them back and they would always tell him there is no call back number, he would just be placed back in the "cycle" so he would get called again, this gave him a bad feeling understandably. The last time they called, he put me on 3 way, we talked to a "junior manager" named James, Agent Code GE198, who says he was calling from Grand Bahama Cruise Line to Grand Bahama Island and explained that we won a free 3 day 2 night cruise on the Grand Celebration out of Port of Palm Beach. We had 18 mos. to book our cruise, but had to give at least 30-60 day notice. Then he said we needed to pay $59 port fee/govmt fee so $118 for both of us and it was a first come first serve basis so we had to pay right then and there. I did not feel comfortable with just giving my credit card number to a complete stranger over the phone, I don't care how good the deal is. I told him I felt this may be a scam. He proceed to explain that this was recorded (strike 1 -legit companies tell you you're being recorded from the start) and that we would go through so many people afterwards to confirm our purchase. At the same time, I was on the computer checking if they were legit, I saw a lot of SCAM reviews, I told him what I was seeing, he said he was new so he was going to transfer us to Sr. manager, Robert. He went through his whole "here's why were legit speech", we asked him where he was calling us from, he said they are based in Orlando (strike 2 - the website says this cruise land based out of Tampa). Then we asked him if he's in Orlando, why is the number on caller ID a (302) area code, he gave us a very vague answer about they calling from all kinds of agencies across the US and basically he didn't know why number showing (302) number (Strike 3! - it's a SCAM). We told him no thank you and ended the call. BEWARE!!! If it sounds too good to be true, it usually is!!
