Every time I enter my email address on their site to check the military/past guest prices, I get about 30 spam emails a day for various products and websites, none cruise related.

It took a while to pin down where I was getting hit at, but I just went to check a PG rate for someone and less than 30 minutes later, I have 10 spam emails waiting for my perusal.

Am I the only one this happens to?

That's weird. I've been signed up with them for three years and used them to book six of my seven cruises, and I'm not afflicted with spam. Their privacy policy also says that they won't share your e-mail address with any other company. I wonder what's going on?

I've received everything from a 'military friends finder' to deals on swimwear. I don't get it either. Maybe it's a flukey thing!

I've visited their site and asked for quotes several times over the years. No spam. It sounds like your computer has picked up something that tracks which sites you read.

I've ran SpyBot and AdAware and didn't find anything. Also ran a virus scan with nothing. Hmmm.... back to the drawing board.

I'm glad it's not a VTG thing. I like their site although I've never actually purchased anything from them yet.

Me too. Along with the gender confusion, I don't think that they 'realize' that I'm straight! I don't want to see "Hot lesbians in action"....ugh.

Now that I've said that, I have a funny feeling we'll have some of our favorite "pervs" visit this thread. They seem to be able to sniff out the porn phrases like bloodhounds! lol I love you guys though...just razzin' ya!
