it said if i completed a quick phone survey i would get 2 free tickets to a cruise to the bahamas. i decided to go through with it to see what the catch was or if it was just one of those "you may have already won" things, and it was a pleasantly quick 10 yes or no questions i answered with my keypad.

I got that call too, and answered the questions. I thought that maybe there was a chance of it being true. Guess not,

I got one of these things awhile ago. Not only is there a port fee, there's generally a registration fee as well, along with a few other things they decide they'd like to charge you. You do end up going on a cruise in the end, but you have to sit through the presentations, and it costs just about as much as if you had booked yourself a cruise without going through all this hassle.
