They have a radio ad in VA that says to call 18007300197 today for the cruise.  The ad does say there is a small charge.   The man who answered said he had to get the fee today.  He asked if that was ok.  I said I would have to call back.  I tried to ask the man how much the fee would be, but he had already hung up.  Ha.  He actually did me a favor.

I just called 18007300197  yday to find some info about the cruise the lady gave me info then asked for my credit card number i told her i wasnt ready to book yet she got mad asked why did i call if i wasnt ready to book and then she hung up on me! Thats how i knew this was a scam so i had to do some research about this number!

Hello I received a call saying if I do the survey I will win a crusie the number was 2074932008. Is this a scam ?

They call me almost once every day!!!

I let my answering machine pick up calls from 800 numbers.  The man identified himself as being from Imperial Cruise Lines and said that I had won a trip for two.  I don't remembering entering a contest of any kind, much less for a cruise, for I have no idea of ever going on one.  These calls were at odd hours during the evening.  Sometime very late, and even on a Sunday.

I got tired of seeing them on my caller ID, so next call I answered and didn't even let the guy start his speil..I just screamed "very unpleasant" words, and they stopped.

They have been calling me for 2 weeks now.  I turned them down and then a supervisor called and gave me a "better deal".  My question is what can we do to stop them from doing this.  It really frustrates me that hardworking people who are struggling and about to get married and are really stressed out about the honeymoon costs and all (I seriously was stoked when I first got that phone call with the "better deal" until I researched it)get this amazing offer that they can only wish about just to realize it is a scam!  I am so irritated right now.  What can we do, seriously, there has to be something we can do!

called and asked for derek. when i informed him that dereck had moved to south dakota, he responded as if i was lieing. if they call again i WILL respond in kind! i am not a liar!!

i actually work at this place located in fl, usa. it is a legit company, basically its a sales promotion where ramada has contracted with imperial majesty cruise lines to sell a cruise in connection with hotel visits in fort lauderdale . orlando, mexico and las vegas, all the information that is givin to u is true. and the vacation package is at a savings in exchange of taking  a tour of Vacation Village timeshare in weston, Fl. your only required to stay at least 90 mins. thats an hour and a half people! out of the 168 hours that youll be here in florida for the weeks vacation all we ask is 90min tour of the ownership resort to basically save about $500-900 on a vacation like this and we tell u about it on the phone call, ive been workin there for almost a year. and im planning on takeing the exact vacation package that im sellin at work next spring, you basically get 3/2 ftl Ramada Plaza resort, 3/2 Orlando ramada plaza resort 3/2 cruise to nassau bahamas a 7 day rental car with unlimited mileage. 3/2 to las vegas nevada and 4/3 puerto vallarta mexico. and all u need to pay id $498 for the ENTIRE VACATION! and then the $59pp port taxes due at the time of booking, its all legit you guys, if it wasnt then we couldnt stay in business and have affiliates with alamo and buget rent a car companies to provide u the car, La Hacienta Spa and resort in mexico, the golden nugget , imperial palace or ex calibir in las vegas nevada, universal studios, jungle queen,. and all we ask in return is to visit that tour, ill do it in a heart beat to save that much money. and to be quite honest this vacation is not for everyone , what i mean by that is that if ur someone of a very high income who is used to your first class flights and can affort to pay retail prices for hotels and car rentals per night then fine do so. and stay at a finer resort like Sandals and so on, but for the average american income of 30,000 or less this is a  really great deal. the reason y u keep gettin calls from the company is because we use a DIALER just like any call centers. its an automated server that automatically dails ur number  and an agent gives u the info when u answer. if u dont want to be called just simply asked to be placed on the DO NOT CALL LIST. dont say it in a rude manner just be polite and the rep will do so. and for anyone whos complaining the majority of u guys never bought the damn package so shut up, cuz if u did u would have gotten a nice envelope containing a DVD and brochure that shows u all locations and exciting this to do while down here in florida.  and u complain about us callin u, firstly the only way that we got ur contact info, is by doin a survey, fillin out a registration for at a trade show, goin to a hotel, car show or exhibition and was given the cruise certificate, responding to the win your cruise ads or surveys over the internet so be care full of where u put ur details. cuz u will be receiving a call about our offers  and u stupid people who get dazzeled when the see the word FREE who immediately puts their name address and phone number in some registration needs to read the fine print called the TERMS AND CONDITIONS  of this offer and if u did it simply states that u express interest about receiving information about our offers wether youre currently on a nationwide Do-Not-Call list, and will be contacted for further info. u dumb ppl are goin to get caught into the real scams out there instead

I just called the number back after they were rude to my wife. i googled the number and came across this site. We should post the number on as many sites as possible. I did not get that far into the conversation. I just asked for a supervisor and asked to be removed from the list. We will see if it works.

i have been duped my these con merchants and handed over £250 for this so call wonderfull holiday.
Having received the wonderful pack they send you there is one line on the back of the terms and conditions which states "This advertising material is being used for the purpose of soliciting sales of a vacation ownership plan" in otherwords a time share.
It also means that you cannot go on all of the vacations at the same time so the cost would be so outstanding.
A very angry person i am for falling for this.

Great idea, Steve. I just did the same thing. I gave them the phone number for the main post office.

How do i stop this? I won't answer it!

I just received my first call from this number because stupid me...i fell for the 'survey to win a cruise' phone call. I will just put this number in my phone and assign it the ring tone of SILENT!

This people is crazy. I have never fill out any paper. I got call from this 800 730 0197 every night. Non stop. I registered my cell phone as "DO NOT CALL" List, the ystill call

I am having the same experience only with a different number. I filled out an over the phone survey and I wanted to believe them that I had won a cruise but the red flag went up as soon as they wanted port fees! They keep calling me back too wich I thought was odd. The Lady who I spoke to on the other end tried to convince me this was lagit and said she would never work for a fraudulent company!

I was going to pay the 59.00 port fee in the morning is this a scam or is it something I shouldnt do?

we talked to them this evening - do not give them the money!
do some research and you'll find out it's a scam.
they are not from imperial majesty!

What is wrong with the society we live in?  
                                             
The guy that called me sounded like he was from the States-almost like the old guy that lived next door while you were growing up-not like mean one, but rather the one that hooked u up for Halloween, and always said hi with a smile.-If anyone has any info as to the where about of this company PLEASE post the address! I would love to pay them a physical visit, and I'm sure others would as well.  I didnt give them my credit card-thank god, but they still wasted my time and as far as I'm concerned they deserve (even if they found a loop hole in the legal system) some form of justice.  So with that said, be glad you're nothing like these Sh!t Bags, because Karma is a B!tch!

It is 3 weeks,every day,3 times a day or more, I ge the same phone call-free cruise on Imperial Cruise lines.  I do not answre but have given the info to our NY state assemblyman.  let's see what happens.

You all need to follow up on the whole call its not a SCAM it is Imperail Cruise lines  and Ramada they offer you great deals usually to fill spots or for time share stuff!
ANYWAY I got 2 night in Fort Lauderdale in the Ramada with all food included 2 day cruise to the bahamas all food included and a $50 card for the casino, then 2 night in orlando including food again with 2 days at universal studios ticket  all for 2 people, and 3 days 2 night in vegas for a later date,,  all for just short to 500.00 for 2 of us!!! of course I have to get there!

I've never been pitched a more akward scam. These guys are so bad at this and yet as I did research after getting away I found people that gave a report of actually going on this "luxury" cruise. $2,500 spent plus hours of timeshare pitch with no chance of any refunds for broken promises. It's worth doing due diligence! If it seems too good to be true, research it harder. c

you JACK***ES NEED to get a life!!!  773 807-6996

I received several calls from this number.  I am getting married and thought that this was a blessing.  I was hesitant about giving my visa info over the phone.  Especially after being told that it is a one-time deal.  Meaning if I decline or don't pay today my name will be removed from the list.  I chose to look up the info while talking to him and realized that it must be a scam if everyone is blogging about the same number.  Thank you.  Hopefully nobody will get caught in this scam.

THE SAME THING HAPPENED TO ME AFTER THEY TOLD ME THE SAME BORING STORY I TOLD THE GIRL WHOSE NAME WAS ANGELICA GLANDIS THAT I DONT GIVE MY CREDIT CARD INFO OVER THE PHONE SHE TRANSFERED ME TO A GUY WHO AT FIRST CALLED HIMSELF THE PROMOTER HIS NAME WAS FRED MCKENZY AND I TOLD HIM THE SAME THING AND I LET HIM KNOW THAT IF IT WAS A FREE CRUISE I SHOULDNT HAVE TO PAY FOR ANYTHING ESPECIALLY PORT FEES IF I DIDNT KNOW THE EXACT DAY I WOULD GO ANYWAY I TOLD HIM THAT I LOOKED UP THE NAME OF THE COMPANY AND THAT IT IS A SCAM HE SAID THAT IT WASNT TRUE THEN TOLD ME SINCE HE WAS A MANAGER HE WOULD GIVE ME 2 ADDITIONAL VACATIONS SO IN THE 10 MINUTES WE WERE ON THE PHONE HE GOT PROMOTED FROM PROMOTER TO MANAGER WHAT A HUGE SCAM

The name of this acamming company is KB promotions their address is 3504 craigmont Dr suite 200 Tampa fl the are liars and cheats I was told they were Caribbean cruise lines they took 298 dollars out of my account before I even verified I wanted to go I was told Cc info was for 50 deposit! I tried to cancel package while still on my initial call and I was screamed at by three different people that said they were the supervisor in charge! I am filing a lawsuit against them for misrepresentation and un authorized transactions to my card. After hanging up I called bank filed fraud and contacted BBB and all three credit bureaus! My advice is we all get together and take this company down!

Ditto to everything everyone already said.  When they told me about paying the port taxes, I was told that they were temporarily reduced to the $59 if I paid them right then.  I knew then that was the "catch" I'd been waiting for.  When was the last time there was a "sale" on taxes?!!  :)  Wish I knew how to get them to stop calling.

First of all i'm only 21 yrs old n i kno better than to give my f*ckin personal info. over the phone!!!!! But i can also understand how good it sounds with the economy the way it is a free cruise sounds damn good.........and for the customer service jerkoffs that left there comments.......REAL PROFESSIONAL.........hint........GO TO COLLEGE GET A REAL JOB BECAUSE APPARENTLY THIS IS NOT YOUR CALLING......just got my first call, BET they don't call back.........WASTE OF F*CKIN TIME!!!! Have a nice day;) LMAO!!!!!!

I received the same survey call and the free 2 night Bahamas cruise on Imperial Majesty Cruise Lines.  However, the number and same was different.  It was Esta Sol and the number is 1-202-495-7142.  They send you to Surveyclaim.com to complete the survey and then send you a confirmation email with the same information regarding the cruise time and the following:  " You will depart from Port Everglades, Florida to Nassau Bahamas/Paradise Island sailing onboard the Regal Empress from Imperial Majesty Cruise Lines. "

I did not supply any cc#s or pay for port taxes.  I am sure it is too good to be true and I would rather spend my money on a nicer, legit cuise.

I love it when these guys call me. I usually tell them that I have 10 credit cards that have high limits and when they ask for them I say let me go get them and hit the mute button. You would be surprised at how long these dumb arses will stay on the line when they think they are getting your cc number. I just sit there and laugh at them.... can't wait for the next one. they are so cleaver aren't they?
