What are some common scams related to cruise lines?

Two of the most common cruise-related scams include offering a free cruise for two and enticing job offers. Free cruise offers often land the victims on a disappointing trip, while applicants who succumb to job offers end up paying for a job that does not exist.

Free cruise scams involve enticing the victim with low add-on charges for trip-related taxes, which ends up either in an expensive trip or one that is totally different from what was paid for. Job-related scams, on the other hand, require the applicants to pay some "processing" fees, such as medical examinations, visa and bank transfers. In the end, applicants shell out money without landing a job.
