i imagine if played right one could run a almost continuous cruise scam this way..
never tell your real name, Forge the booking docs you show her and then book your next trip/conquest on a different ship with her money and a 100% profit..

Phillips claimed Armonte Domious Wilson (pictured) charged her $1,100 for a spot on the cruise

This woman must be an idiot!

Took me all of 300 milliseconds to recognize that this guy is obviously playing for the other team - and I'm a heterosexual male!
