:cool: I haven't but in life there is no free lunch. There must be a catch I think. Some yrs. ago there were offers to Hawaii with free airfare. The catch was you had to buy the hotel from the provider which of course was enough to make up for the "free" part. :grin:

I always feel that if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is. But truthfully, I can't say that I wouldn't be interested to check it out just to see what it's about. Na, impossible.

At first glance, it may look like someone is selling cruises for $1.00, but if you delve further into it, what you are bidding on is a cruise report, telling you how to get cruises wholesale, or there's one that's listed as a cruise, and what you are actually bidding on is a postcard!

I don't think I would want a 'Free' Criuse. . . I might have to sit in 20 timeshare presentations and could very possibly have to slit the wrists of those presenting. . . It would just get ugly and fast.

We've had a free cruise twice. I won a Baja cruise for 4 in 2003 through a local supermarket, and then back in 1998 hubby and I wanted to send our youngest son and his friend on a Baja cruise for their high school graduation, like we did for our oldest and his friend the year before.

But the rules had changed that year and you couldn't travel on a cruise unchaperoned unless you were 25 years or older. So, hubby and I decided to go too.

We booked the cruise, and a few weeks before we were set to sail our travel agent called and said they were over-booked, could we possibly move out trip to another week, because he'd get us a 'good deal' if we 'could help him out'.

We changed the week to one in July instead of the original June, and the travel agent came back and said, the cruise is free, and here's a voucher for excursions too!

Those were two fun cruises.
