I feel like a total idiot. I usually don't fall for these deals. Went to a so called free seminar on a Princess cruise and ended up wasting almost $500. on Elemis Detox program. The "free seminar" was just to rope me in so that I could be sold a product. I wonder what Princess cruise's cut is. I chalk it up to lesson learned. I cannot believe that a reputable cruise company like Princess allows their customers to be bilked like this. I have since read up on this toxic cleansing stuff and found out that no real scientific data exists to support that it does one bit of good and you are probably just better off changing your diet to a healthy one and let your body do its work.

I know how you feel. We went on a Princess cruise and signed up for a $2600 detox. A 6 month program for two. Got home did research online then called bank froze credit card then contacted Tom the princess scammer and he said call 800 # on bill to cancel. Did that so feel better now. Thought I was old enough to avoid scams plus trusted Princess too much. Thru research learned that the body is constantly detoxing automatically. No need for expensive gimmicks. Just eat healthy drink good water and get some exercise is best.

My husband and I just got back from RCCL Oasis of the Seas Western Caribbean, and had a wonderful time. We went to the Boot Camp exercise sessions, and it was followed up with the Detox seminar. It all made lots of sense, and although I was skeptical, my husband wanted to give it a try. We also had our body mass analysis done, which was part of the Boot Camp exercise program. Now, I am 50 years old, 112lbs, 5'3" and wear a size 0, and they still told me that I needed to lose 5 lbs. Really?? How much more can I lose? I exercise 6 days a week, drink lots of water, and eat healthy. It wasn't until I got home, that I started doing more research on these products, and totally feel like it is a rip off. Our personal trainer also gave us her personal email, and so I did, but have never heard back. I'm sending it back, sticking to with my exercise regime and eating healthy. I talked to two doctors, and none of it is backed up by medical research, and quite honestly, I don't want to put anything into my body that I don't know much about.

We are going back on the same cruise in July 2013, and I plan to go back to the boot camp program, and show them that I don't need detox, and that your body naturally detoxes. They also made us feel like we couldn't even have a treat or enjoy our wine! For the rest of the cruise, and felt guilty for having a cocktail or a dessert. I'm on vacation and I should be able to enjoy great food and drinks.

Yep we just got back from a Princess Cruise to Alaska. We went to a seminar about detox and had the analysis done. Bought it hook line and sinker. $2571.00 for a 6 month detox for two. Wow got home researched it and found it to be a SCAM. Called bank put a hold on credit card. Contacted Tom who sold it to us on Princess and he said call the 800 # on the bill for a refund. Got an answering machine so far. Tom lied to us telling us that you can only get this detox from a company in Europe and they are the only ones that have this Algae that works. Got home and easily found it on Amazon.com. Plus found tons of negative comments online about this SCAM. Emailed Princess and complained about this SCAM on their Ship. May never take Princess again.

Sure wish these folks would come back and tell us exactly what "toxins" are being removed, how they're being removed and in what quantities...

 

Which cruise line is hawking this snake oil anyway?

We were just on the Golden Princess out of Seattle Washington. After going to a seminar we signed up for the detox because he said you can only get it from Europe and there's only one company selling this special Algae that works to detox the body. The bill was $2571.00. Got home did some research and found it on Amazon.com same stuff for much cheaper. Called bank put a hold on credit card and filed a dispute. Contacted Tom on Princess who sold it to us he said call the 800 # on the bill for a refund. Sent nasty emails to Princess complaining about this scam. Going to make our own bath detox and work on healthier eating and exercise.
