the "booking agent" finally called me today to go over the details and get me to pay for port taxes upfront. (they can't really make money on these though, at only $59/person)
the place isn't a total scam. they do actually have a website.
Imperial Majesty Cruises. but by the end i was able to get it out of her that there are time share presentations you have to see while on your trip. i got the impression they make a decent amount of money from extra excursions you can pay to go on while on the trip (special small boat trips and the like)
