See the link inside the article to check your phone number, if you had received one of these calls.

Care to elaborate? I tend not to click on suspicious links. I am not a natural born Cuban citizen so this does not involve me.

Next time a brief info would be helpful if you want someone to click on a link. No I did not click on it, but did a search and found it on the cruise lawyer's page.

WTSP News in Tampa Bay / Sarasota had the story from 08/15/17

If you received a phone call offering you a free cruise, you may be entitled to cash.

A class action lawsuit (Charvat v. Carnival et al) says that a resort marketing group violated the Telephone Consumer Protection Act when they made automated calls to consumers to offer free cruises with Carnival, Royal Caribbean or Norwegian Cruise lines.

Anyone who received a call between July 2009 and March 2014 could be eligible for up to $900.

Those eligible to receive the money have until Nov. 3 to file a claim.

I'm honestly not sure what being or not being a Cuban citizen has to do with this.

This link is a safe link to see if you're owed any monetary compensation for receiving a marketing phone call for a "free" cruise.

This is an actual lawsuit to recover damages for making marketing calls without permission. Many of these class action suits that are approved by a Court provide huge sums for the lawyers and the class members get less than ten bucks or worse a coupon to spend more money with the defendant.

This one could pay you up to $300 per call for up to 3 calls. It all depends on how many people sign up to be represented in the class. You will find out how many folks applied next April if a Court approves the settlement. It could be a nice check, or a buck and a quarter.

Checked one of the options. No luck. Could be my registration on Do-not-call Registry.

Well, my number was included in this lawsuit, I guess I'll go through with the claim and see how it goes. I remember getting a bunch of calls claiming I had won a "free cruise". It was annoying!

Yeeehaw !!! Maybe you'll be awarded enough for that "free cruise" after all !!

Our numbers were not included. But we did get those crazy postcards & letters.

Lol, my wife's number was on there as well. So according to the website we could get $1,800 back. Our home number was not on there unfortunately!

Both my husband's and my son's cell numbers were on there....although I have received those calls, my number was not. We'll see what happens....they were rather pesky, those calls! Glad to see someone is stopping them.

My number was there, I also checked my mom and my kids and they weren't but we'll take what we can get.

Don't spend it yet. Notice it says "Up to" which means it could be anything. Even $2. Have to wait and see what actually happens.

Thanks for the info! I submitted my claim... we'll see if I get my twenty-five cents to spend lol! I do remember these calls on my cell, drove me freakin batty! Glad to see someone at least did something about it.

My daughter and I were on- husband not. I know I got calls.

I really didn't need to check, since I know my wife was bothered constantly by these calls, but our number is part of the suit. Cool.

I'm not expecting much, if anything, but one never knows!

Thank you for posting the link. Saw this on the news and remembered lots of calls, wasn't going to bother, but.....

Definitely on their list.

Hubbys number was on there, but not mine. We filed a claim, we shall see what happens!

I do have my home number listed so I filed the claim. Although they say "up to $900", the real number is more like $300 or even less. Nevertheless, it makes a nice "beverage package" for a cruise.

My number was on there and I filled out the claim. We shall see what happens.

Care to explain this statement?

It is another class action lawsuit.

Thanks for the info! Our cell phones were not on it, but our home number was, so I filed one claim. It was a very easy process. I'm with you, Panabiker, it will surely buy at least one cruise beverage! I'll take that!!

Is this the one that had a ship horn sound?

Got to wonder if this is just for gathering phone numbers so they can spam you.

I entering my number, it was not on the list,

Then entered it again and it was on the list.

Seems random. If it said everyone was on the list then one would think it was fake news.
