“Hello, I haven't been happy at all with the service provided by your company. we are due to go our our Alaskan cruise and also booked the Rocky Mountaineer with you. I had requested extra leg room seats when I booked this holiday and I have tried on many occasions to enquiry about these and left numerous messages for a call back. I didn't receive a response. As soon as the balance of the holiday was paid, nobody was interested in us and I think this is appalling considering the cost of my holiday. I have had to make several long lengthy calls to the airline to try and upgrade my seats which has been another nightmare. I have booked several cruises with your company and I no longer feel comfortable in booking any further cruises with you.”

“Great Cruise great excursions friendly staff. Airport transfer (private taxi) never arrived, left at airport to arrange own transfer to ship and vice versa coming back. I have rang and emailed on a number of occasions, received confirmation that this would be resolved by 12/13th July and I am still waiting to hear.

You emailed me 23/7 saying the full amount is due and should’ve been paid on the 22/7!!! I’ve 7 days to pay!! No response to my email or calls!! I’m not happy and it’s caused me unnecessary stress.

“I made a booking for a discounted balcony cabin and a few hours later was told that the booking was not made, which resulted in us missing out on a balcony, which were all sold out. Had to accept an inside cabin, with no recompense from Cruise118. I believe this was due to allowing inadequately trained staff to take bookings.”

“Bear with me as this is a long one but it may save you a lot of heartache and a great deal of money in the future! If we could post with no stars we would. We were due to cruise with MSC on 1st May but one of our party tested positive with covid using a home kit a couple of weeks before we were due to sail. We emailed Cruise118 to ask for direction in what to do next, they called us and told us they had spoken with an MSC Doctor who had said not to take covid tests but to wait until the day before we sailed and get an antigen test which should come back negative which would allow us to sail the next day. We then received an email from another Cruise Concierge to tell us we could not sail but they could offer us an alternative cruise in August and informed us of the additional cost which we accepted. We chased via email for confirmation of the new cruise to several of the Cruise Concierge agents we had dealt with over the next few days with no response. We sat on the telephone for one hour and forty minutes to get to get through to someone, pleading for some information regarding the alternative cruise. Someone was always going to get back to us and no one did so two days before we were due to sail/not sail we sat yet again for over an hour to get through only to be told that nothing had been done with the alternative cruise offer and it had been withdrawn by MSC. We were told by this Cruise Concierge that it might be a good idea to get an official test done (which by now would have shown negative on us all as we had been home testing for our safety) and try and claim on our insurance which with no official test results was useless. We explained that we had been told by one of her colleagues NOT to take tests and all she could say was ‘oh dear’. We were not able to sail on the cruise and so made an official complaint to the Chief Exec of Cruise118, she did not respond to us regarding this complete fiasco but instead got her Customer Service Manager to ring us instead, she confirmed she had checked out all the points in our complaint and did not dispute any of our complaint, she apologised for us being unhappy with their service and at the end of the conversation she asked us if we would like to take up the offer of the alternative cruise in August of which we said yes or we would like a full refund as we had been misguided through all of this by their own staff. She said she would call MSC the following morning and sort it and come back to us, she did respond the following morning with an email to say that again she apologised that we were unhappy with the service we felt we had received, the alternative cruise was not available and if we wished to take it further we should contact ABTA….and that was it, no cruise, no refund they just walked away from their responsibility. We are now pursuing one of several avenues to get our money refunded, we have used this company on many occasions and had the odd niggle with them mainly because they do not talk to each other or pass on information so you have to be the one to follow up any querie you may have but on this occasion we received so many emails and calls with instructions that totally contradicted each other, the one email told us to ignore the information we had been given so far because she had the correct information which was that we could take up the option of the alternative cruise!! This has been a horrendous experience made worse by the total indifference of Cruise118 to take responsibility for their incompetence causing our whole party to loose the cruise and money. You will not speak to the same adviser twice but they do keep notes on all calls and emails as we were told by the Customer Service Manager, they just do not action them. I’m sure we are not the first but you may be the next!”

“I was supposed to receive a follow up call as there was a possibility I may amend my booking but I haven’t and it’s only 9 days before I have my holiday! I also wanted to book some excursions but again no follow up phone call. Feeling it’s a Terrible service at the moment. The initial booking went well and I did receive an excellent service but this changed once I had paid for the holiday!”

“We went to happily book a cruise after researching thoroughly and using the information on the Cruise118 website. Not only was the price offered £300 pp more, we were also told that the extras clearly stated on the website as included (gratuities, wifi) were now excluded. When challenged, we were told that prices can change throughout the day! This is misrepresentation at best and borderline dishonesty at worst. We have used 118 before but will never do so again”

Thank you for your review, Rest assured your comments are very important to us, and we are very sorry that your experience has left you disappointed. Our website is not live, and 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, unfortunately, it is sometimes the case that we cannot update our website quickly enough to keep up with the increase in pricing. This also applies to changes in promotions such as included extras. Please accept our sincere apologies that the price and deal you noted on our website were not available to you on this occasion, I do hope this has explained the situation a little clearer to you and would like to thank you for taking the time to contact us. If you would still like to discuss this further can I kindly ask that you contact our customer relations team to discuss the matter further in hope of resolving the issues raised, we look forward to hearing from you: Customer.Relations@worldtravelholdings.co.uk.

Thank you for your review, rest assured your comments are very important to us, we are very sorry that firstly your cruise holiday has been cancelled and also that you are having difficulties with reclaiming the deposit. It is well documented that the Travel Industry has been particularly hard hit due to the volume of people's travel arrangements that continue to be affected by this awful virus and also by the global aviation turmoil and we as a business are no exception to this. It is for this reason that we had no choice but to follow the guidelines set out by our cruise line partners and our governing body which is ABTA. We understand the frustration but due to the number of guests that are waiting for their refunds senior management has implemented a policy of refunding guests in strict date order, by doing it this way it remains fair to all our guests. If you are still awaiting this refund, can I kindly ask that you contact our customer relations team to discuss the matter further so that we can check the progress and ensure all is in hand on your behalf? Please include the WOR booking reference in your correspondence. We look forward to hearing from you: Customer.Relations@worldtravelholdings.co.uk. and thank you once again for your review, it is very much appreciated. Regards

“I had a cruise cancelled with Cruise118 and they have yet to refund my deposit. It has been 2 months now and I can't get any response to my emails or get hold of them by phone. They may be ok when the holiday goes ahead but they have no interest in customer service if its cancelled. Had to go to citizens advice to see what to do, they told me a package holiday should be refunded within 14 days, I understand them delaying refunds in the worst of the Pandemic but not now. Will never ever use such Cruise 118 again as they are a disgrace, if I ran my business the way they do I wouldn't have a business to run for long”

“We are currently experiencing an unacceptable delay in obtaining our refund after our cruise has been cancelled! Also dishonesty from the customer service team.Twice we have been told that our money would be in our accounts by the end of the next week. Just this Monday 6/6/2022 I was in a live chat with an agent for an hour, she advised me she was discussing the issue with a manager and then just stopped responding. I then commenced a new live chat with another agent who requested that I put our complaint into an email and advised me that she would respond the following day, surprise surprise no response! In this modern world of technology where money is transferred by the click of a button, I do not understand why it is so difficult to return what is rightfully ours. I have also requested complaints procedure a number of times and that has also not been forthcoming. We appreciate that the cancellation of the cruise was not your fault, but with holding our money and ruining our chances of having an alternative vacation is. We are bitterly disappointed with response from agents so far.”

“We booked a cruise on Royal Caribbean through this company and paid £450 deposit. Personal circumstances meant that we could not travel on the due dates and we were aware that the terms and conditions indicated that we would lose the Sterling equivalent of $100 per person - $200 dollars in all. So we booked an alternate cruise to the Holy Land for 2023. However, despite many emails and telephone calls, after six weeks and dozens of promises, we had not received any confirmation that the first cruise had been cancelled and the second one booked. Concerned with the gross inefficiency of the company and having lost all trust and confidence with them we decided to cancel the second cruise as well. We expected to lose the $200 but today they confirmed that we would lose all our deposit, a total of £450 plus they wanted a further £80 as a penalty. They claim this in their T's and C's but it isn't. Only the $100 is. We believe they have stolen the deposit from us and think that they may well be keeping money because they are having financial problems. I shall, of course, be taking this much much much further until I get the full £450 back. DO NOT DEAL WITH THIS COMPANY. YOU WILL LOSE MONEY.”
