As others have said, it sounds like a timeshare sales event. If you can just say no to high pressure sales then go for it. With any free cruise, you’d have to pay port fees and taxes. Just like when you win anything. Even on the price is right, you have to pay taxes on all that “free” stuff you won. So the showcase winner is usually in for a few thousand in taxes after they “win”
