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. Once again thank you kindly for your review it is very much appreciated.

“I agree that they are a good Company to book with, but try and get a refund and they show their true colours, we have been waiting since April for ours and have been fobbed off time and time again. We rang MSC who told us twice that they had sent them the refund, so now we are having to go to Small Claims Court/Solicitor. Shame on them!!!!!!!!”

“Assuming this Review relates to a recent P & O booking, the experience has been devastating for my family. It is no doubt unfair to lay the blame on Cruise118 ( they have been so good in the past ) but having booked this cruise - sailing in three weeks, we have just received a message from " P & O " to say they have too many " unvaccinated " booked and so cancel our booking !! This relates to under 17s who, under P & O protocol could have PCRs and travel. On a whim - AND NOT ON THEIR WEB SITE - they arbitrary impose " a limit ". Perhaps Cruise 118 should have been aware of this ruling ? The lesson to be learnt - trust no one when booking - they take your money, then cancel the booking and it takes 2 months + to get the money back !! If you have under 17s - BEWARE - perhaps a land based holiday is the idea ?”

“Unbelievably appalling & unprofessional. Booked cruise on Wed 30th Sept for 5th Oct. Thurs: No confirmation - I emailed concierge as I work long hours & phone lines were closed. No reply. Fri: 2 emails from Cruise 118 - “3 days to go “ & “you’re booked on Getaway “ but no confirmation. I emailed again . Reply: “will look into it “. Sat: I rang and NCL was blamed for being slow. Three hours later 118 rang back: Cruise not booked as cut off point for NCL fly cruises was Thurs. 118 would book my flights & cruise but no transfers at Rome despite what I’d paid for. 118 suggested I “try to get on NCL coach at airport, if not, get a taxi “ which I “may” be able to claim for but will have to wait until I return home when “they’ll contact me to discuss it “ Wish me luck…”

“I have had a cruise booked with cruise 118 for a while now and I am finding their team very unhelpful. our cruise was changed from Celeystyal Experiance to Celeystyal Crystal a few weeks ago I was contacted by an agent called Lindsay and left her answering a few issues I had .Lindsay after 3 weeks and numerous phonecalls where her colleagues sent her messages to get in touch with me has still not been in touch and other agents say they cant help. This level of service is totally unacceptable not to mention stressful. we are now considering cancelling the full booking and taking our business elsewhere !!!!!!!!!!”

“There is a real lack of transparency are around how 118 apply future cruise credits (FCC). We were given one figure for the FCC (from 118) to be deducted, or so we thought, from the total price, leaving the balance to pay which we did. As soon as we paid the balance, leaving nothing more to pay, there was an "issue" with the amount of the FCC that could be used. Apparently not all of the FCC could be used to reduce the balance, with various issues raised from flights to taxes etc and the "unusable" part was unable to be carried forward - it just sort of disappeared, never to be seen again. The bottom line is that we had to stump at further £422 or 118 would cancel cruise. Sought clarity and none was provided. Raised a complaint and got a single sentence reply that suggested that they had not even read or understood the issues, or there was just complete disdain for our issue, and that they just needed to close the case. Lack of transparency, sharp practice, the dark arts, or call what you will but if you get a FCC, make sure you ask them, (and even better get it in writing) how much of that is actually able to be used against your next/future booking. Despite FCC being a fixed amount - all is not what is seems.”

“We wanted to book a small cruise for our grandchildren, just Southampton to Southampton. We were told our grandchildren needed to be double jabbed 🥴they are 8 and 10. No children of this age have even one jab !!! Little bit of ageism in reverse here. Also fail to understand why you are advertising kids clubs on these cruises,I wouldn’t use them for our grandchildren but who are they for ???”

Dear Kathryn, Thank you for your review. Depending on your travel date, some cruise lines do have a policy where all passengers need two jabs, including children. However, there are several cruise lines where children under 12 are not required to be double jabbed and just need a negative PCR test to sail. If you would like more information on these sailings, please contact us at customer.relations@worldtravelholdings.co.uk and we can pass your enquiry onto a member of our Sales team. kind regards Customer Relations.

“I am still waiting for an answer to my query, After a long list of errors from Cruise 118 concerning the amount of cruise WOR-95192 .After several phone calls, and emails ,and promises from several of the CUSTOMER CARE TEAM to try to find out the results of my query, Again I am trying to facilitate the answer, I had a phone call from a Customer Care rep. who said that she had taken the matter over, but on ringing to ask she was not there followed by a promise that she would be contacted which up to this point NOTHING again.I also have a FCC worth £ 129.99 Please contact me and finish this matter. It does not bode well for a travel company”

“So followed response on here regarding abysmal after service care and sent email to customer relations and guess what. Get a standard reply saying they will aim to respond within 3 working days. If I called to book a new cruise there would be no delay they would speak to me straight away. Absolutely appalling as 3 working days will be 2 weeks since my first email and still no reply.”

“Took fare too long to get a refund from 118 nit Cunard for cancelled cruise. Went to book another cruise this morning only to be told information is wrong on web site (false advertising cheaper prices and free drinks) not impressed”

Dear Heather 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 cannot update our website quickly enough to keep up with the amendments to pricing. This also applies to any marketing that is sent as these prices are correct at the time they are printed or emailed. Therefore when you call the contact centre we will give you the best available fare at the time and advise all customers that if they are happy with the fare, they should secure the booking at that price to avoid any increases in cost. All prices are dictated by the cruise lines therefore we have no control over any increases both during the booking process and thereafter. I appreciate that you are still waiting on a refund directly from Cunard, this was requested on your behalf and the turnaround is 90 days from request and will be sent directly from Cunard. We thank you for bringing this to our attention and hope to speak to you again in the near future so we can source the best available offer for you.
