Poor quality service and food and you only go to Nassau [not the greatest cruise stop]. It's nothing like a "real" cruise. The ship is a very old ship that was "refurbished". Supposedly, you can get a taste of what the DEA does when you return to the US, as they're there waiting for the drug smugglers. If you've never been on a cruise, perhaps you will have fun, but don't let it spoil you for ever going on a cruise again if you don't have a good experience. Go to CruiseCritic.com, click on "Boards" and read the "Member Reviews" for the ship. Or click on the "Celebration Cruise Line" [or whatever the name is] for more info.

They only guarantee it when is a scam and charge a big listing fee upfront. If there is a mail box or a community bulletin board at your home resort, you can put a “For sale” sign. This will pressure the developer specially if they sell it for $20,000 USD and you offer it for $5,000. Sometimes on the fine print of some sale agreements says that the developer has the first right to buy if your place is ever sold. I have heard of developers paying the money (as long as is not too much) just to take the sign out. To resale or rent a timeshare is a hard task, the basic rule is not to pay money up-front, don’t be another victim of a scam. Unfortunately over 50% of people that really need to sell their timeshare falls for this resale scams where they charge money upfront and less than 10% of them use their only real option which is to post it or offer it trough free advertising options as much and as many sites as they can (it is ok to pay a few dollars to post in a great place but no more that $20 to $30). Timeshares do not have resale value and in most situations you would take a loss in what you paid for, as they resale for less than $2000 USD. There are some free classified where you can post: http://timeshareownerscommunity.com/ http://craigslist.com http://ebay.com http://recycler.com/ http://usfreeads.com/ http://www.inetgiant.com/ IMPORTANT – Nobody can guarantee the sale of your timeshare.

You are smart to know that there is some gimmick to this free offer. It will end up costing you alot. Sometimes if you are not near the ship cruise port they will make you buy their airline tickets which will cost you a lot more than regular tickets. Basically you would be paying for the cruise too. If you live near the cruise port, they will get you for the taxes and "fees" or "port charges". Actually on a real cruise you pay one fee for the cruise usually about $75 to $100 per day and this includes the port charges. You also are required to pay tips to servers and room stewards, etc which add up to $10.00 per day. Save up your money and buy your own cruise - which you get to pick out the ports. Remember if something sounds too good to be true than it is a scam. Also, remember if you really won a free cruise it would be totally "free". You are wise for figuring this out. Good Luck.

You may find many companies touting their service, but none of them guarantee a sale. You may end up waiting and waiting for a buyer to materialize, yet have none appear. If you need a fast turnaround, consider using a timeshare transfer company to get rid of your timeshare so that you are no longer responsible for the fees.

The problem can arise when the person you sell them to tries to get on the plane, with a ticket in your name, but with a different name & picture on the driver's license...they just might end up with some free room & board per the state.
