A friend of mine was on the Rennisance 58 day cruise a few years ago.
They stopped in Turkey where they purchased a rug.
After paying for it and for shipping etc. they went on their way. 4 months later it finally arrived COD! Not only that it was doubled the price they had actually paid. Of course they did not accept the rug and it took 30 days to get things worked out because the cruise line got involved and threatened to black ball the establishment. To this day they don't think it is the same rug they purchased. Close but not the same.
And not only that. They had to take it outside and hang it over a balcony for days just to get the terrible fish smell out of it.
