I have always booked through 118 and had a person to speak to and email if needed. I have tried to ring 4 times and held for really long periods and cannot get through. The emails are no longer managed and this means you can no longer speak to anyone. I need my port to book parking and was told to contact you, but cannot. I am very dissappointed in how 118 has gone down the pan. I will not book with 118 again after this trip.

Once my money was taken and my cruise all booked couldn't get in contact with them for love nor money. Concierge email didn't work and was on the phone for ages and no one answered for more than half an hour. No one works after 5pm as the office is shut.

All advisors are very lovely on the phone. Particularly Gill Potter who was the reason that I was a returning customer to Cruise 118. However on my latest booking, the aftercare was shocking. I required an amendment to my package holiday booking. After going through new dates, booking time off work, changing cruise itinerary’s and new hotels with various advisors and colleagues from the amendment team, I was only informed at the payment stage that I was unable to make any package holiday amendments to my booking until June 2022. A complete waste of time and conflicting with their amendment policy at my original date of booking. I progressed with a cruise-only package and filled in all of the other parts of the package itinerary myself. Aftercare continued to breakdown, as queries regarding specific Royal Caribbean testing and Crown & Anchor details were ignored for a month, and only answered after another prompted email by myself. Like I said - all very lovely on the phone, but I expect more as a returning customer, actually as any customer. As soon as the deposit is in and the payments are owed, Cruise 118’s aftercare infrastructure is shockingly bad.

Really upset as on booking my details with cruise118 were correct, but as they have been transferred across to Princess cruise line dob and membership I’d have been incorrectly entered and no one can rectify it. I cannot fix it myself as it was booked via 118. No one seems able to help me!

Advertised cost when I phoned you to price at exactly the same criteria was 40% higher. I’d call that false advertising and misleading potential customers during difficult times. No excuse for it other than being shocking!

I am very sorry we have not responded to your review any earlier. It is well documented that the Travel Industry has been particularly hard hit at present and we as a business are no exception to this. Please be assured this is no excuse for your experience and your feedback is very important to us. As a company that prides itself on our customer satisfaction ratings, we are disappointed to learn of your issues. From time to time cruise lines release many fluid offers to stimulate sales. These fluctuate due to the supply and demand of the product. There can be occasions where the demand is high and the price then increases. We always aim to advertise the best lead-in fare which is usually the lowest grade. We use a third-party company to update our website as per the latest prices that the cruise lines advertise from their live websites/booking systems. As I am sure you will appreciate availability is also changing especially now due to increasing high demand, unfortunately, it is sometimes the case that we can not update our website quickly enough to keep up with the increase in pricing. My explanation also applies to any marketing that is sent to our customers. I hope this explains our position a little more, I would like to thank you for taking the time to contact us. Kind Regards.

Process of booking our cruise was initially good , and I got all the help I needed ! BUT since booking it I have lost faith in 118 and would never book again through this company . I booked two drinks packages , one for my husband and I and another for my son and his partner. To date I still haven’t had mine added onto my booking , yet my sons has already been added and I booked his after I did ours . The calls I have made is disgusting, I have been put on hold for nearly half hour, and I have just ended the call . Iv spoken to concierge who have just told me what I wanted to hear which isn’t good enough . I’m not at all happy it’s not nice booking a holiday and having the excitement taken out of it because of having to keep chasing things up !! FCC’s haven’t yet been deducted , yet I was told two weeks ago after many calls they would be sorted with in the next 48 hour’s I’m still waiting !!! Because my initial booking experience was good I also booked a surprise cruise for later in the year for my husband , BUT that one is now going to be cancelled I would rather cancel than give 118 any more of my money !!! I have paid my first cruise apart from the FCC that needs deducting or I would of cancelled , just far too much stress . Iv always booked direct with royal Caribbean , no stress all straight forward but I have learnt my lesson and will in future book our future cruises with them . Sorry cruise 118 you really do need to brush up on your customer service!!!

I know it is difficult times due to the current situation. We are due to start our holiday/cruise on Friday 5th, due to travel into USA cannot. I have made a number of attempts to contact 118, originally informed would be emailed a form on 18th, asking what we would prefer ie refund FCC etc, no email to date. Contacted the concierge team via webchat on 25th, informed that the Contact service manager stated that a member of customer service would be in touch, no contact. Contact services shut at 4pm, so when working difficult to contact. Poor

The booking process was good. The lady who helped us was really good, except that she said she would confirm everything by return email and 4 days on I still have no email. Customer service only open until 4pm which is useless if you work full time. We have never used you before and not sure we will again going by this. We usually book with another online company and you can get hold of the person dealing with your booking whenever you need to, even if only by email, and they are really helpful.

I have booked two cruises with Fred Olsen for two 'back to back' cruises. The first cruise was done easily through C118. BUT the second on was a disaster in that FO telephoned me and offered me the second cruise 'back to back' - same ship same cabin as the one before it. I put it on hold with FO and tried to get hold (telephone) of C118 without success. I eventually left emails for at least 4 of your staff - but after a day or so I heard nothing. So as as I didnt want to lose the deal, or the cabin, I booked direct with Fred Olsen. I didnt want to but it was the only way I could see to ensure I got the Owners Cabin / Olsen Suite. So both C18 and I lost out. And it was a time waster. Shame.

Conor was very patient with my booking however very disappointed in the company, having to pay for my cruise whilst you have my money for cancelled sailing. I have to wait 90 days 😡 My other issue was that I was promised a call back within an hour because lines were busy, no call back 😡 Lastly conour couldn't look at transferring my October holiday, another department will call me. This will be my last time using cruise 118. Very frustrated customer 😡

Dear Mrs Stainer Thank you for taking the time to talk to the customer relations team today I hope I explained the reasons why you could not use the refund due to you against another booking to your satisfaction. We do understand your frustration that you had to wait to amend your cruise, as I explained we have a devoted amendments team who specialise in amending existing booking and I am sure you will appreciate how busy this department is especially at this time. Rest assured we will endeavour to investigate as to why you did not receive your promised call back. We welcome both positive and negative reviews in order to improve the services we offer as a business going forward. Thank you once again for your time today and for your review.
