I have only voted "Acceptable" because the service was. Looking in to the detail after we had booked I realised that our airport is approx 50 miles from port. No transfers were advised other than "they were expensive", and so we decided to book 2 hotels for both outgoing / homecoming, when only one was required. We did not have anything sorted for the transfers leaving us "hi n dry". I have now asked you to cancel the hotels and I have independently booked our transfers through an agent recommended on "Talking Cruise". I would have expected C118 to have dealt with this level of detail so we did not have to do the extra work to organise transfers etc.

I used you ring back service as I know you are busy on Tuesday. I had a call back and was told they would ring back on Wednesday. But no call so left another message Friday lunch time but no response on Friday so I rang on Saturday got through told the person what I wanted she said hold the line and I will sort this for you. But after a short while I was disconnected. So rang again this Lady was very apologetic but she did sort out and rebook me my cruise for next year. So I am happy now but this was not a good experience.

Iknow that you are busy, I normally deal with Rebekka, but she was on leave. The experience was not as good as normal there seeming to be a lack of interest. However I have now emailed Rebekka and she is going to sort out my queries when things quieten down a little.

Whilst the initial booking experience was good, my experience prior to payment was most unsatisfactory because of my inability to speak to a human. I made no less than 3 calls one day, holding on each occasion for in excess of the approximate wait time of 6 minutes but none were answered, on another day I made 2 calls holding on during the first call for in excess of 12 minutes and then when it was finally answered because I did not answer immediately I was hung up on with no call back and my second call was not answered in circa 7 minutes. The following day I called first thing in the morning and immediately expressed my frustration at the lack of service offered but said how relieved I was that humans were actually employed post booking. The person I spoke to was Beth Gallery who could not have been more apologetic and helpful when obtaining flight upgrade and hotel costings. Her help redeemed my experience with Cruise 118, who should be very grateful to her. Thank you Beth. Had I not spoken to her I would not have been able to give any stars.

The booking was a little challenging as I went off the main booking to choose excursions which took me to the payment page and I couldn't get back to the original book the cruise page so I was left to reboot the cruise page from the beginning. However, it all got booked in the end.

Good Afternoon, Many thanks for your feedback. We are sorry to hear that you are unhappy with the length of the booking process. It is mandatory for our sales concierge's to read through the booking checklist when processing your booking in order to confirm all of your holiday details, to ensure that these details are correct and that you are satisfied before processing the booking. This can take a while to complete to ensure that all aspects are covered. Here at Cruise 118 we strive to give the best possible service and appreciate your feedback. We hope you have a lovely time on your holiday.

We were on board the MSC Symphonia returning home 13th July 2019. However due to adverse weather conditions we were late in disembarking resulting in us missing our flight from Venice to Manchester. However the support and customer service we received from Hannah Bailey was second to none. I cannot praise her high enough. Nothing was any trouble to her. She is an asset to Cruise 118. Truly appreciated as my wife was panicking until Hannah took control Thanks once again for excellent customer service. I cannot praise Hannah highly enough.

Re: Cancellation Invoice: WOR-39069 Following email sent for third time to cruise 118 who continue to ignore complaints. To conciergedesk@cruise118.com, enquiries@worldtravelholdings.co.uk Sirs, why are you ignoring my message and failing in your care of duty?? we still await the credit note that was promised to us, where is it??....in the meantime your have already lost one cruise booking IGLU, they will also get the next booking if you continue to ignore us and issue the credit promised together with an apology, for you tardiness. This relates to a canceled booking whereby we had to pay a cancellation fee £129.99. as well a loosing our initial deposit. not to worry said cruise 118 we will send you a credit note for the £129 which can be offset against the next booking..i now firmly believe that they only said this to us in order to placate u when we complained of having to pay there cancelation fee..

We met a difficult problem on our booking WOR-53490. We need to change a passenger’s name on our cruise NCL Spirit sails on 14/6/19. One of our friends Chao Lan’s son was serious injured in Taiwan. She has to cancel this holiday to look after her son. We found a friend to replace her but the price is £794. We were told the amendment was £50 in Feb. Please have sympathy to Chao Lan. She nearly lost her son. She had to lost a big amount to cancel her Taiwan - UK flight. Please help her not to have to pay this high price for giving up her cruise holiday. Please. Please. Please

Thank you for your review, We are a customer focused company feedback whether good or bad is extremely important to us, as it is only on the receipt of information such as this we can assess and improve the services that we offer I am sorry to read your sad news regarding your friends’ son. I understand the difficulties you are facing however in order to deal with everyone fairly, although we are sympathetic, we have to adhere to the booking conditions. By adhering with the booking conditions, we treat everyone the same and do not differentiate between our customers. Having said that, most of the fees to change your cabin are being charged by the cruise line and this is beyond our control. We advise all our customers to purchase insurance at the time of booking to cover any cancellation charges should it be required. Although I am sorry that my response may not be to your satisfaction, I would like to thank you for taking the time to contact us and if I can be of any further assistance, please do not hesitate to contact me. Kind Regards Customer Relations

Disappointed that the First Lady who quoted us didn’t ring back when we requested it which meant we lost our first choice of cabin number. I am now waiting for a call back again as the price is showing incorrect on the invoice.

Booked online because it advertised better discounts however: 1) it wouldn’t allow me to book 2 cabins at the same time so I had to use 2 computers to process bookings at the same time. 2) cruise 118 class under 16 as children however Celebrity class under 11 as children therefore got all the way with online entries on both computers and then tried to put 15 year old child in and Celebrity refused to accept the entry because they class that as adult. Therefore had to start all over again. 3) Due to the above the booking online took me 2 hours rather than 1 hour as I had to wait for the selected cabins to be released again. 4) in the past I have booked over the phone and this was ok but because of pricing discounts for online bookings tried that.

Thank you for your feedback as it is only by receiving feedback that we can improve the service we offer. Please accept my apology that our online booking process was not as smooth as it should be. Every cruise line has different age restrictions and this causes problems for our online system. We are currently working on a solution to resolve this issue. I hope that despite this issue you have a wonderful holiday and thank you for informing us of this problem. Kind Regards Customer Relations
