"Cassie was very amenable and cheerful. However, I was surprised to be told that she could only offer me just over 2% discount off our £4,300 cruise! Thomas Cook would have given me 4%! I have booked with Cruise 118 for the last three + years, but I will be going elsewhere for my three cruises in 2019."

Thank you for your review,

Here at Cruise118 we strive to give the best possible service and appreciate your feedback.

We work on a live booking system and are therefore only able to quote the best available fare at that moment in time and as such our advice can really only be for our customers to make a booking when they are happy with what is being booked and the price being charged for such.

We value your business and are working hard to earn your continued patronage. If we can be of any assistance in the future we’d love the opportunity to try and help you.

"Simon is too pushy which puts you off straight away. Last holiday we had no transfer was arranged from Genoa to Nice. Apparently MSC to blame???"

Helpful Report

Thank you for your feedback. I apologise that you feel Simon was too pushy as it is not our intention. I would however respectfully point out that we book on a live booking system and the availability and prices can change at any time. It is our aim to give you the best price and book the most appropriate holiday for our customers.
In regards to the missing transfer from Genoa to Nice I can see from our booking notes that you were refunded by MSC. If this is not the case please contact us and we will investigate this further.
Kind Regards

Thank you for your review,

Cruise 118 is a customer focused company and 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.

We work on a live booking system and are therefore only able to quote the best available fare at that moment in time and unfortunately the price quoted is only valid for the length of the call.

Please be aware that I have passed your feedback on to our marketing department so we can investigate your comment regarding the cost still being advertised .

It is with regret to read your comments and if you have any further issues, please email us directly for a prompt resolution.

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.
Please rest assured that the points you have raised in your review have been noted.
I can see that at the time of booking we did in fact price beat a quote from a competitor and also offered a low deposit which was not available to you with our competitor or Msc.
Scott based the above quote on like for like which did not include the wine package or the internet package.
Again, we apologise for the difficulties you encountered.

"My sister and I booked and paid for a 15nts Caribbean Cruise on the Azura departing Southampton 19th October with cruise118 and after looking at other prices 'I know I shouldn't' found 2 more firms which were cheaper and offering a considerable amount of OBC. Unfortunately nothing could be done about it after several emails and phone calls not even a small token amount of OBC so your claim 'We will not be beaten on price' is incorrect. Natalie who originally booked our trip was very nice and friendly and Katey who has dealt with my query was also very nice and did try to resolve this. We are looking forward to our trip but are really disappointed nothing could be done. Shame we didn't shop around before booking and paying in full."

Dear Mrs Fleming

Thank you for your feedback and taking the time to review our service.

I am glad to hear Katey and Natalie were able to assist you however please accept our sincere apologies for any disappointment caused due to the change in promotion.

We will always aim to provide the best possible price and promotion for our customers, including price matching out competitors. However due to the nature of the travel industry and fluid pricing, we are unable to amend your price or promotion once the booking has been confirmed.

if there is anything further we can assist you with please do not hesitate to contact us and we look forward to assisting you further in order to restore your faith in our company.

Kind regards

"We recently booked a 1 week tour of CHINA followed by a 2 week cruise,I spoke to NICOLA who was very polite. In the discussion it was mentioned that we would need to obtain a VISA to visit CHINA,i was told by NICOLA that the cost of the visa would be about £200 each, i must admit that this was a bit of a shock because it would add £400 to the cost of our holiday so i said that i would have a word with a chinese friend of mine to see if she could arrange it a bit cheaper for us,my friend said that i would be just as well to arrange it with the agent as if any mistakes were made it could be costly. I then decided to book the holiday at a total cost of £7200 i called back to book the holiday and advised that the week in CHINA was through WENDY WU tours and the cruise was through HOLLAND AMERICA LINE,i was asked to pay a deposit of £1200 to secure the booking,i must admit that i was shocked at the deposit required but even so i agreed. I then received my booking confirmation on the 18th MARCH 2018,in the meantime i saw a WENDY WU brochure that clearly states that all WENDY WU tours and prices include the cost of the tour,i contacted WENDY WU tours and was advised by them that the tour CRUISE 118 had booked for me was classed as a private tour and did not include the price of the visa. On the 5th APRIL 2018 i received a updated booking confirmation from CRUISE 118 advising me the cruise itinerary had been changed one of the countrys with 2 destinations had been changed,i then contacted CRUISE 118 to be told that my 1 week holiday did not include the visa,s also the cost of getting my 2 visas was in actual fact not £200 each but just under £300 each,also the cruise itinerary had been changed for operational reasons and no further information was obtainable,i asked what would happen if i cancelled and was advised i would lose my deposit. And on top of that when i spoke to the so called resolution centre being advised that there was nothing they could or would do i found out they were taking even more money of me,a 20 minute cost me over £7. We are still going on holiday but hope the holiday is better than the service (or lack off)than we got from this company. We cruise a lot ,every year but we will not be using CRUISE 118 for future booking i do realise they are a company that needs to make a profit and also realise sometimes in life and business things go wrong,but feel that its not the things that go wrong that are the issue its how the issue is dealt with and rectified that is the most important issue. I honestly believe that CRUISE 118 has not only let us down but moreso let themselves down as i will no longer book with them in the future and also advise our very large circle of cruise friends of what has happened. I ask in all fairness to all that read this how would you feel if you were in our situation"

Thank you for your comments Michael. Although this is not the feedback we are either expecting or indeed used to receiving, we appreciate you taking the time to review our service. Even though our overall score indicates that we offer great service on the majority of occasions, we try to never become complacent and constantly look for opportunity to improve even further. Unfortunately, there are times when a cruise line amends its itinerary. We understand this is very disappointing, however this is out of our control. We wish you a great cruise and if we can be of any assistance in the future we would love the opportunity to try and help you.

Thank you again.

"My past experience with Cruise 118 has been good. On this occasion, I was left wishing I hadn't booked my holiday with Cruise 118 as the wealth of information and the importance of obtaining the correct visas is crucial to sailing or not on the ship. As I am sailing on a world cruise on the Arcadia in January 2018, I contacted the Cruise Concierge Customer Experience Team who told me, as we are a Travel Agent we do not provide information relating to the ports of call and related visas. Thankfully my usual Cruise Concierge came to the rescue and telephoned P&O and obtained the information which I needed in order to obtain the correct visas for my pending trip. I was further surprised to learn when I visited a local High Street Travel Agent to ask them if they provided Visa information at the time of booking they confirmed that is a usual part of their service. Kind regards, Christine"
