Cruisebees / Transitions Overseas / Funkycareers

"Hey There. I am writing in the hope that you could publish a warning.

I am looking for cruise ship work at the moment and came across a company called Transitions Overseas (www.cruisebees.com) or there partner company Funkycareers.com. I decided to take a chance and order a book containing contact details for not only cruise ship companies and their recruitement agents, but also other addresses for voluntary work etc. This in it self was a dumb idea and it was confirmed when I received a 20pg booklet containing nothing that I did not know allready. Ok, I thought, stupid move, you live you learn. However, my credit card got charged for another £30 2 weeks later.

Not surprisingly did they give a bogus phone number on their site but when I started looking into the company things just looked dodgy to say the least. I eventually got a hold of someone at the company who told me that I was not going to get all my money refunded since I subscribed to a newsletter which they initially said would be free as an extra to ordering the booklet. They off course blamed me saying that I overlooked the details in a separate leaflet, which off course I did not receive and I have a strong feeling don't even exist. I was unable to get any managers name or speak to anybody else at this company.

So I write to you in the hope that you could warn other eager travellers to stay away from this company. I suppose I am asking much but please let's stop these people who make what should be an exciting experience an awful one that puts you off travelling all together.

Kind regards
Elizebeth Croeser"
