Dear Friend,
"I've cracked open my personal Rolodex of contacts in the cruise and airline industry to give you the low down on things you must do and more importantly you MUSTN'T do when you book your next cruise.

I am sick and tired of seeing people spending their hard earned money on the sneaky money-grabbing traps that the cruise companies use to swindle you out of your hard earned money while you are on vacation enjoying your cruise.

It is just shameless...

Cruise companies hire marketing people to do just one thing, separate YOU from your money and as much of it as they can get!

It's time I took responsibility to

• You're in a hurry, packing up to depart and you make a BIG MISTAKE...
