They told her that (A)she would have to pay for the transportation to the boat which was down in Florida, (B)there was an $800US "processing fee". Despite this, she actually went... of course she got the worst room on the boat, but hey, who cares? When on a cruise, you don't spend time in the room. She said the pool on-board was great and there was lots to do.....
So it's not as bad a scam as one might think... it's a way for the company to sell off the rest of the cheap rooms on the boat. I just hate all the phone calls. I was being called once a day for three weeks. I called the phone company and was told that they would change my phone number if I wanted, for a nominal fee of course....

If it only cost $800 for it, then that's not a bad deal then. How do you know if it's legit or one of those $200/min scams though.
