Yea, I go tthat too! Never took the trip, it was too much hassle! Then I ended up paying $5000.00 for a set of 4 pots, which aren't that great! you have to go sit through this sales pitch (it may not be pots this time, but wither way, it's a sales pitch). And it isn't pressure free! And if you buy, trust me when you get home, you'll be thinking what the h** did I spend money on that for, but then it's too late!
Good luck! I hope it works better for you than it did for me! But I have to say the trip I never got to take wasn't worth it!
PS You have to buy the airfare, and everything else. All it includes is the hotel, and liek someone else said, I'm sure it ends up being a really crappy one!

My fiance and I won this before. Actually we won this twice, we went to two bridal shows. We did the first show. The people told us to come with our appetite to a quick presentation. We were there for almost an hour and a half, they served us a small chicken breast and carrots that were steamed by these pots that were known to be "the last pots you will ever buy". They also presented some "unbreakable" plates that was demonstrated by throwing them on carpet. After the seminar and persuasion to buy products you receive a cruise pamphlet that you book on your own but you have to finance your gratuities for the servers and housekeeping which Is 15-20% of the cost of the cruise Itself. If you don't pay while your there It will de deducted from your credit card. Oh you have to put down a credit card on the ship In place of your key card and all charges go to your credit card for any drinks and spa treatments and etc. Looked It all up online and decided not to go but good luck to you!!

All you need to do is go to this cooking demonstration! No pressure to buy!
Here's the deal: there is pressure. It's not a good deal. You never get the prize, or it's a horrible hotel you would never consider for a honeymoon.
I never went to a bridal expo. Ever. Yet I keep getting calls saying, "Hi...this is Dave from the Bridal show? Well I have great new! You have won!"
They just want to use the vulnerabilities associated with excited brides spending Daddy's money.

Do some googling to make sure it is not a scam. Ask for references of the company so you can contact others who won trips before. Remember, if you win something you should not have to pay any money up front (except, for example, if you have to get from where you live to the departure point). You are right to be skeptical; just do a lot of research. Also, where did you win it through? If it was through a magazine or bridal show, you can always contact the organizers to find out if the company is one they have dealt with before.

I found a website about honeymoon scams and how to spot them, I would be skeptical if I were you. Call the Better Business Bureau in you state and see if the company has had any complaints against them. These are really common scams. I would call the company and ask a lot of questions.

Well if you won it on the computer or in the mail it's a hoax.
