How to spot a lookalike
- The address isn’t statuecitycruises.com. Lookalikes add words like “tickets” or “official” to the name.
- It’s the top result marked “Sponsored”. Scroll past the ads.
- The price is far above the official one, or there’s a “service fee” at checkout.
- Some resellers are legitimate (tours, skip-the-line packages). Compare with the official price before you pay.
