“I booked a Caribbean cruise and fully paid for it in May 2020 the cruise was supposed to be in November 2020 , which was obviously cancelled due to covid. We moved it to November 2021, and had to pay a little extra. That cruise also got cancelled so we requested a refund, cruise 118 have made every excuse going , saying it will take at least 6 months to get our money back from MSC.  We get no update communication from them , I would never use or recommend them to anyone. Refund is currently in excess of 6 months”

“So bitterly disappointed. After not being called back with queries on our first attempt to book we called back and we’re told we would get a call that afternoon. This did not happen until the next day. To our delight our cruise was booked, only to find the next day when logging onto my p&o with our ref no, that it was for the wrong cruise. We tried to swop it for the correct cruise but this was now sold out and we’ve not been able to book elsewhere. Such a waste of our time and so bitterly disappointed.”

“I have been simply trying to change my flight to an earlier one home from Rome. The flight I have booked has me being dropped off at the airport early mid morning and spending around 10 hours in the airport. I have waited 6 weeks for this to happen which is a simple request and still no positive response. If I had the flight code I would have changed this 5 weeks ago but they have not supplied this information. Not impressed , they took the deposit and since ignored me. I would expect more response from them one the payment is due in March . Really poor and not happy with them up till now.”

“The process of booking the cruise itself with Cruise 118 was easy and the young man with whom I spoke on the phone was courteous and helpful. However, 2 days after booking I received an email saying I had to register myself with Norwegian Cruise Lines (NCL) and print off my tickets. I attempted to do this but it proved impossible because my reservation number was not recognised by Norwegian. I called the customer service team at Cruise 118 only to be put on hold for nearly 20 minutes. The young lady was courteous but unhelpful saying "it works for me!". In clicking the link sent to me to set up an account with NCL I managed to set up the account with Cunard whose relationship with Norwegian is quite unclear. Eventually, the lady said, "I don't know why they sent you that email so early, it's probably just too early for the system to recognise your reference number. Try again after two weeks". It seemed clear that she just wanted rid of me. It is still not sorted out, I still cannot print off tickets, and I cannot get anyone at Cruise 118 Customer Services team to pick up the phone. I'm sincerely hoping that the cruise itself goes better than the booking process. Prof Marshall Hall”

“On Tuesday 18th January 2022 I paid Cruise118 in excess of £5400 for an Amazara cruise which was cancelled the following day, less than 24 hrs after booking. I received an email from Amazara advising me of this - the email was sent on Wed 19th January 2022, but the letter it contained was dated 18th Jan. In other words - Amazara knew full well the cruise was cancelled at the very time I made the booking. It is inconceivable that senior management at Cruise118 were unaware of this. Inevitably, it was not possible to get through on telephone. I eventually received a call from Cruise118 at a time when I was not able to take the call. I asked if they would call back in an hour. I was told no, they could not, but that they would phone the next morning. They did not phone back the next morning. I finally managed to get through to someone who, though very polite, advised me he was able to do nothing at all. In their email, Amazara offered 3 different alternatives on how to deal with this. Cruise118 sent a similar email, which offered only 2 alternatives, neither of which suggested they were passing on the offers made by Amazara. All of the above happened before the charges for this cruise had even been applied to my credit card account, confirming that Cruise118 went ahead and processed the charge in full knowledge it was for a cruise they sold but could not provide. Use either of these companies at your risk.”

Dear Allan Thank you for your review. We are 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. When making a cruise booking the cruise lines insist that a deposit be taken to confirm your reservation. Unfortunately, deposits are not refundable as per the cruise lines terms and conditions. May I add that all travel agents, as well as direct bookings made with the cruise lines, would insist this charge be made, Cruise118 do have cancellation charges of their own I am glad to see that we did not charge these due to the circumstances. I hope I explained our position in full. May I thank you once again for taking the time to contact us. Kind regards Customer relations

“In my 80s I am not good on computer stuff so when my cruise tickets arrived by email, and having no access to a printer I rang to ask could they be sent by post. I was informed that there would be a charge of £10 to do this. Poor customer service in my opinion after spending a large amount with Cruise118. I shall not be using them again.”

Dear Guest Rest assured your comments are very important to us, we are very sorry that aspects of your booking experience have given cause for dissatisfaction and we appreciate you taking the time to contact us. Cruise118 is an online agent and as such if guests would like us to post correspondence we must cover this cost with a £10 charge. I am sorry this charge came to light when you inquired about posting your tickets as you do not have access to a printer, we must however remain fair by charging this fee to all our guests who require a postage service. Cruise118 is happy to see that you made alternative arrangements to print your tickets and no charge has been made. Once again thank you kindly for your comments very are much appreciated Kind regards Customer relations

“Booked our Christmas Caribbean 2021 cruise in November 2020. Selected our cabins and paid extra for upgraded package. Paid the holiday in full, now our cabins have been changed by the cruise company and we are 9 decks apart from our family! We are due to depart in 4 weeks time and are still trying to sort this and cannot get any answers from anyone. We have been cruising for over 20 years and have never been treated like this, nobody seems to care now they have our money.”

Thank you for your review David Rest assured your comments are very important to us, we are very sorry that aspects of our service has given cause for dissatisfaction and we appreciate you taking the time to write your review. May I add that our website is not live 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 fares can and do fluctuate hourly 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. if you would like to contact us to discuss this further, we look forward to hearing from you: Customer.Relations@worldtravelholdings.co.uk.
