    yah i got this email tonight too, call me sceptical but i reckon quite a large number of people will have been shortlisted as they are clearly asking you to go and buy a mag to see if you have won, surely a winner would be contacted direct for such a large prize.
    i may be wrong though and hope i am.

    edit - i was wrong found e dition of the mag and found comp winner in there click here for the info

    winner announced as micheal castley from southsea.
    My poor 15 yr old daughter broke her wrist i 5:eek: places tonight poor little mite was screaming in agony, all casted temp now and fingers crossed no surgery needed to fix.
    get well soon honey .

    It says April/May 2010 issue on the e-edition. Confused!

    I was shortlisted as well, well I entered my dad for it actually, if you see the name Lewis Morrison anywhere please let me know! I hope it's an MSE winner.

    Edit: Darn it, it does look like Michael is the winner. Ach well, hope he enjoys it!

    There does seem to be something dodgy going on, as just got another e-mail saying the next comp u can enter is for a prize to Costa Rica. Now even more confused!
  • Hi,
    I have only just found this by Googleing myself!! But, I am the Michael that won the competition. There was nothing dodgy. The original prize was Asia but due to Pirates they pulled the itineraries and moved the ship to Costa Rica.
    I had a fabulous week on the Star Flyer, I am a massive cruise fan and this was a completely different experience but amazing. Costa Rica is a beautiful country.
    Real people do win these prizes - and for this one I am still really grateful it was me.

    Mike
