These 4 New Cruise Scams Are Frighteningly Convincing!

Cruise scams are becoming increasingly sophisticated, and some are now targeting experienced cruisers using information that can make the approach seem remarkably genuine.

In this video, I look at some of the cruise scams I’m seeing and hearing about most often right now, and I also explain how scammers can sometimes know an alarming amount about your upcoming cruise — including your ship, sailing date, itinerary and travel plans — and the surprisingly simple ways they are getting that information.

I also share the warning signs I look for and the steps I take to check whether a message, account, website or request for payment is genuine before handing over money or personal information.

These scams can catch out even very experienced travellers, so these are things I think every cruiser should know before their next trip.
