Francine was able to get me the best deals for adding a second cabin and adding 2 additional passengers. She is extremely polite and truly listened to what my needs were.

Hello,

We're so sorry for confusion around your booking, and the worry this caused.

The good news is that your reservation is active and confirmed. Our team has since spoken with you to confirm that, walk through the refund on the duplicate that was cancelled, and get both your Cruisebound and cruise line confirmations into your hands, along with help getting into your cruise line account.

We hope you have a wonderful sailing, and if anything at all comes up between now and then, we're here at contactus@cruisebound.com.

Sincerely,
Cruisebound

If I could give negative stars

If I could give negative stars, I absolutely would. My experience with CruiseBound has been extremely disappointing from start to finish.

Customer service is incredibly difficult to reach. I spent over an hour on hold, only to be directed to request a callback by text. Even after doing that, it took hours for someone to return my call.

More concerning was the information I received from CruiseBound regarding my transaction. I was told that they had contacted the cruise line directly by phone and were informed that the transaction I requested could not be completed. However, when I contacted the cruise line myself, I was told something entirely different. The cruise line specifically told me that CruiseBound needed to call them directly and that the request could be handled.

I even provided CruiseBound with the direct extension for the cruise line representatives I had spoken with, yet the issue was still not properly addressed.

Based on my experience, I have lost confidence in CruiseBound and will not use their service again. I cruise at least once a year, and going forward I will book and handle my reservations directly with the cruise line.

I would strongly recommend that others consider doing the same. The convenience of using a third-party booking service is not worth it when getting assistance becomes this difficult.

Hi Larry,

Thank you for the feedback, and we're sorry this was so difficult. You shouldn't have had to wait on hold and then wait again for a callback, and we've addressed it with the team.

On your payment request, our team did contact the cruise line directly on your behalf and was told the change could not be processed because the booking was paid in full and past final payment. We understand you were given a different answer when you called them yourself, so our offer to set up a joint call with the cruise line still stands.

Please reach out to us at support@cruisebound.com and we'll get that scheduled.

Sincerely,
Cruisebound

Alfredo was amazing and dealt with a lot of issues that came along with booking my cruise. I appreciate his attentiveness and willing to advocate for me. This is our first time going on a cruise, and although the booking was rough and first, Alfredo made it work out. I appreciate hi

Julio who assisted me and my friend a day before a cruise was amazing. He really spent time to make sure my issues with regards to extra charge on my cruise will be resolved. He is an exemptional employee, honest and knew what he was doing.

VEry disappointed with cruise bound because they just text us about our account today one day before our cruise . My stress level was so high because the text stated " we will cancel your cruise if you do not pay the balance on your account". How do you expect me to react and to find out it was an error on your part. you need to improve on this....and make sure to communicate with your customer not the day before the travel but give us enough time to handle any issues like this.

Thank you so much Julio, my friend and myself I very much thankful that you handle our issues well. Appreciate you!

I want to recognize Jorge. He called me and I was at work and I asked him if he could send me a email he sent me a text message and stayed up to date with me about my upgrade on my room. He called me and helped me purchase my upgrade and answered all my questions. He was very nice and polite. Glad he was the one to help me. Thank you for being so sweet and kind.
