cruise4kicks Posted February 25, 2018 #1 Share Posted February 25, 2018 Received an email from Princess. The highlights: "Cast your ballot for Princess for a chance to win a $10,000 dream vacation!" "Vote for us in the 2018 Travel + Leisure Awards and you’ll be entered for a chance to win a trip for two worth $10,000." If you click through, it takes you to the T+L awards site. The email misleads the reader into thinking that Princess will reward them with an entry into a contest in exchange for their vote, when in fact the contest is offered by T+L. SHAMELESS!!! Trawling for votes like that. Princess should be ashamed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

moki'smommy Posted February 25, 2018 #9 Share Posted February 25, 2018 I don't understand why anyone would find these things surprising. I've received similar appeals for "votes" from at least three different cruise lines with no affiliation to each other. That's why I distrust any of these sort of award things.

caribill Posted February 25, 2018 #12 Share Posted February 25, 2018 I also deleted it. (n)The Captain of The Rowboat, Tony You mean you did not go and vote for the The Rowboat in any of the categories? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucky TGO Posted February 25, 2018 #13 Share Posted February 25, 2018 You mean you did not go and vote for the The Rowboat in any of the categories? The Rowboat doesn’t need any votes to prove it’s #1. If you’re ever lucky enough to come aboard you will know it’s the Best Rowboat on the Charles River in Boston.

land lover Posted February 25, 2018 #15 Share Posted February 25, 2018 Nothing new..but the cruise lines still get me to click every so often..... and there are winners...but the fact that I have to in put info that the cruise line already has........ steers me clear, also agreeing to the rules....I think that can mean more unsolicited phone calls:eek: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrivesLikeMario Posted February 25, 2018 #18 Share Posted February 25, 2018 ALL the cruise lines ply TAs for their votes. It gets really, really old how many emails they send out begging for votes - not just Princess, but ALL of them. I purposely won't vote for any of them just because of it. These "contests" mean absolutely nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

satxdiver Posted February 26, 2018 #22 Share Posted February 26, 2018 Standard email destined for the proverbial circular file. At least it is not filling up our snail mailbox. We get river cruise offers all the time so someone sold our name/address. Princess? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
