The brief survey thing is a lame attempt to get around the DNC law. It doesn't wash and they do not get away with it either. However, the free cruise is also a lame scam as they do ask for money which is illegal. There always seems to be a lame fee of some sort attached to that free cruise.
Its ILLEGAL to ask for money to receive it.
