Avoid them like the plague — my cruise booking was canceled by Cruise Cheap without my permission, and they tried to get me to rebook the same cruise with them for $600 more.

Buyer be aware I guess

Buyer be aware I guess
I am in Korea trying to book a cruise and all i got was a chat from an on-line chat.
Non of the toll free numbers work and judging by the reviews I am staying away from this site, something does not make sense with this site.
All of the negative reviews check out.
Thanks to the site for wasting my time.

Terrible customers service

Terrible customers service. Try to change passenger name from carnival and charge penalty extra of 100$ for services. Customer very hard to understand, everyone giving different information. I booked 6 others room with different websites paying extra 24.99 booking fee but rest peacefully every times call and get clear information. Not recommend for anyone

Technical error resolved.

While the error probably could have been avoided or resolved at the initial point of contact, mistakes happen and it is the resolution that matters.

By the time the issue had made it to Toni Glerum in their customer commitment team it had become quite convoluted yet she showed integrity and interest, and remained factual and solution orientated.

The issue has been resolved to my satisfaction and we are currently looking at booking another cruise and will use their services again. Even if in the unlikely event we encountered the same problem, I would rest assured knowing it would be managed appropriately.

Toni, thank you again. You are a credit to your organization.

There is no live customer service they only tricks your deposit

From the time I paid the deposit, I tried to call numerous times regarding how to pay the remaining balance, all calls failed, just like all emails, and all online requests were not answered. It's suspicious that a site that is constantly updated with the latest cruise information doesn't have any live customer service. I am extremely worried about the feasibility of my family's cruise vacation.

Can't come in contact with Cruise Cheap after down payment

On 1 of July 2022 I booked a cruise with cruise cheap for a cruise in October.
I paid a down payment of $500.-
I got the booking confirmation, in the booking confirmation I got a final due payment day 7/11/2022
0n 3th of July, I got a email from them telling me to act fast because of my payment due time.
I tried to call, email, send contact form.,because my final due day on my booking confirmation is the 11 of July. I got no answer from them. On 5 th of July, I got the message that this will be their final attempt, to collect the money. I am sending since 3 th of July each day more than 5 emails to them. The only message I got back from them is a automatic response, that my message has been received and if they don't answer me within 24 hours, I can call them. But they don't respond the calling.
I haven't not paid the final part of the booking, I don't know if I already has loose my down payment of what gonna happen with my booking. I can't reach them, How can I reach Cruise cheap?
I am very frustrated.

Thank you for finally answer me. My invoice I received after I booked the cruise, the final payment due day was 7/11/2022.
I still have the invoice you sent me on 7/1/2022
On 7/3/2022, you sent me another invoice with due day 7/4/2022.
I really don't understand why those changes.
I am happy that you told me that my booking is still on hold. I hope that everything will going smoothly from now on.

Dear Zaira, We are so sorry to hear of the issue you've encountered in reaching our Customer Care Team to make final payment. I do show that the Final Payment Due Date on your invoice was 7/4/2022. At this time, your booking is still secured with your deposit, but Final Payment must be processed by the end of the day on 7/11/2022. I will have an agent to reach out as soon as possible to secure your payment. Thank you

Unfortunately I have phoned America from New Zealand 4 times now to try and contact the person who contacted me once. None of the phone numbers given in message or on websites work. All I want is one of my many emails replied too.

Hello, I am happy to help with a resolution to this issue. To be sure I understand, is the main problem that your first cruise of three actually was cancelled by the cruise line, but then #2 and #3 (which you were told had also been cancelled, but actually hadn’t been) were recorded as no-shows by MSC and your fare from those bookings penalized? Please confirm.

UPDATE: We have looked into this issue further and discovered that this was in fact an error on our side. We are currently working to make this right and you will be hearing from one of our team members soon in regards to a credit and/or refund. We apologize for falling short on this and do hope that we will have the chance to serve you again in the future.

Always a pleasure talking to Elaine…

Always a pleasure talking to Elaine Henry. We've found her to always personable and knowledgeable. She was particularly helpful two years ago when I had a ladder accident just before a long cruise. She walked my wife through the cancellation process and how to file the cruise insurance claim. She was helpful again this year when our ocean and river cruises were cancelled by the cruise lines.
