Thank you for posting - It certainly looks like the gratuities are to be paid for by the winner directly and do not form part of the prize.6

First Country
At 0:03 in the video - INDIA13 -
it states that 'gratuities' can not be removed which means that it is a misrepresented service charge of £410 each for the cruise.
I think I may have another of the countries but will wait for the clues to confirm.My landlord has told us he intends to sell the house, homeless in July.
2025 Comps 1695: wins 1: value £1000
2024 Comps 13526: wins 13: value £13756 -

There's a still at 1:05 that looked promising but couldn't see anything. Considered Mexico and Korea.4

We have looked in to the gratuities for this competition and since removed them from the terms and conditions, meaning the prize would not incur any such further costs.Thank you again for bringing this to our attention and we wish you the best of luck in the competition.Best wishes,GeorginaGeorgina May | Public Relations Executive | Fred.
