  • Crikey, it's all falling into place now! A while ago I got an email from this company with an invoice for £0.00 and stating something about a cruise. As I had never even heard of the company never mind booked a cruise with them I rang them to ask what the hell was going on. Appraently, 'I' had booked a free ruise with this company!! All I could think of at the time was that one of my mates was having a laugh at my expense. None of them have ever admitted it but now I really do have a massive lead!!

    Anyway, I asked the nice lady to cancel the cruise and she said why not try and get somebody to go who wanted to (the dates were no good for me). Totally forgot about it unti now, in fact I'm not even sure what the exact dates were (and my email is currently knackered). Just read their T&C's that state I may have to pay 100% of the cost of the crossing if I cancel. I'm assuming that comes to £0??
