Won a Greek Island Cruise for 2 as well - is it worth pursuing further or just waste of more cash in process?

Question

This is from the scratch cards by Purely Creative, Lancashire.

Answer 1

try to find out from other previous winners,if possible,whether a lot of money was wasted or not. still u better avail of the offer coz  greece is like heaven.

Answer 2

I would certainly do more investigating as it is rare for someone to actually win a cruise. Often there are many hidden costs and some companies are down right deceptive. Like one company in the US have really cheap cruises if you don't mind dirty sheets, stains in your cabin, and a smelly ship with all around very poor accommodations. They are called the Majesty something. Anyways, first I would call the company and find out as much as you can about what is involved.

Answer 3

A friend of mine won a trip to Iceland last year, with a value of about 4 to 5 thousand US dollars.  He ended up paying the government about 2 thousand in taxes on the cash value of his winnings.  He weighed it out and decided to go and actually had a great time, but it wasn't free.
