“Avoid this company. They are not truthful and hold money that they have no right to continue to hold. See other low star feedback before you risk doing anything with them as this is a common complaint. As existing customers of SixStar, we called about a cruise with Azamara. They took a deposit without any information being provided regarding whether it was refundable or not. This can be proved with the call recording. Later that same day we had a return call from Azamara (to a message we had left) and it transpired we could do the same trip with them at a lower cost and with better benefits. My husband called the following morning to cancel the SixStar Cruises trip and only then was told the deposit was not refundable and that the money had already been "paid' to the cruise line. We have taken this up with our bank as a disputed payment. When we booked directly with Azamara they did not say that they already had a booking in our name so they had not received the information at that time from Six Star. They still have not. This is an unacceptable way to treat customers. Moreover Six Star Cruises are untruthful and wrong and this is based on their own website information which says..... "You will be required to pay a deposit or make full payment for your booking at the time of booking. .... Where you only pay a deposit you must pay the full balance by the balance due date notified to you. If full payment is not received by the balance due date, we will notify the Organiser who may cancel your booking and charge the cancellation fees set out in their Terms and Conditions. All payments we collect from our customers are done so in our capacity as a retail agent and are therefore promptly forwarded to the Organiser. ..... it is the Organiser who holds the money you pay in respect of the holiday. In the event that a refund is due to you, please note that it is the Organiser who holds your money and whose responsibility it is to return it to you. As your Agent, we will liaise with the Organiser on your behalf and upon those monies being returned to us, we will forward those monies to you without undue delay." This is totally contradicted by Azamara's website where it says ......"all monies you pay to one of our authorized travel agents for your holiday with us will be held by the agent on your behalf until we issue our confirmation invoice. After that point, your agent will hold the monies on our behalf until they are paid to us."”

“I have booked many cruises with SixStar Cruises unfortunately my experience this time as been terrible. I booked my cruise with Andrew Whittle who I haven't actually spoken to yet and have spoken to 3 different people on his team having rang each of them numerous times to be told they will look into my problem and come back to me. The last person I spoke to I asked her if I could speak to someone senior in the customer service dept I am still waiting for a call back PLEASE COULD YOU GIVE ME A CALL OR EMAIL ME. I have already booked 2 cruises with you this year so I do consider myself a regular client”

“When I set out on our booking journey, back in February, I was entranced. My contact was courteous and prompt and informative. But all that now is a distant memory. Back in May I was contacted by Seabourn with the offer of a !0% discount if I settled by the end of the month. I checked with Six Star that the offer was genuine, and when they said yes, I accepted their advice that I should settle in full, with them, and they would deal with Seabourn. Since then, I have had one email confirming receipt of the money but nothing about the discount. By settling early I have given Six Star six months' use of the equivalent of a house deposit in the fast receding hope that I would get back £2K or so as recompense. Given their claims of industry-leading customer service, this lack of communication and assurance is disgraceful.”

“We have had in the region of 30 cruises and every other agent we used took care of every detail for us. However with this company anything you wanted such as changing seats on the flights, downloading boarding passes etc they threw back at you to do yourself. Furthermore we were given conflicting information by different agents which could have resulted in missing our flight. The final thing was disembarkation, I don’t know if this was the fault of the agent or Azamara, but it was a complete shambles with the promised transfer to the airport not arriving. I will never use them again.”

“It took 4 days, two incorrect quotes and 7 and half hours of my time on the phone. Finally on Monday our holiday was booked. Tried sending three emails since and none have been responded too. Never experienced this low level of service from Sixstar cruising before. Always dealt with Andrew freeman very professional, shame he is not around still. Helen Scroggs”

“I was told at the point of sale I was booking a package. I was told I could cancel up to the day before . I was told Azamara do not use budget airlines such as Easy Jet. Upon cancellation due to Covid ,I was told my booking is not a package although the. Definition of a package is at least two elements of the booking must be done through a travel agency . the lady who took this call advised me Azamara will refuse boarding anyone who has had Covid within the last 10 days . I am now aware Azamara do use Easy Jet and I could have booked from my local airport direct other than Lufthansa with stops in Frankfurt. So no I have had a misleading costly and worrying time booking with Six Star Cruises.”

“To call this company SixStarCruise is a complete misnomer. OneStarCruises would be much more appropriate. I was led to believe that their "concierge" service would be first class but I have found that not to be the case. I booked in good faith a cruise followed by three days in the Italian Lakes. The finish point was changed from Venice to a port further down the coast which meant that there was additional travelling involved. I was unhappy with that and asked to change my booking to an alternative. I suggested, after researching the market myself, an alternative cruise which fitted in with our other holiday arrangements which by then had become impossible to change. It took weeks to get information on this option from them and way beyond the 72 hours suggested by one of three different concierges I had to deal with. The delay caused my wife and myself considerable anxiety as we were left in limbo as to our special holiday. I feel that the company lost interest in my booking once I asked to change and it was put firmly on the back burner. In addition out of my deposit of £800, £500 was retained for a future cruise despite the fact that the change to my booking was not initiated by myself but by the cruise company and £418 was retained by "SisStarCruises" for other cancellation costs. I feel that that was far too excessive and profiteering by SisStarCruises - a company with a lot of hype about being first class but in reality delivers one star service.”

“Extremely disappointed! Paying six star prices for six star cruises but got less than one star service from this company. Not proactive, long gaps with no communication, queries not answered promptly, telephone calls not answered or returned promptly, general lack of information regarding progress. Just absolutely not a Six Star service. Something with your approach to customer service is very broken and needs fixing! Will not be using again in future.”

“Poor communication and customer service plus no response to complaints. This company had a very good reputation among cruisers. My recent experience has been very very poor. I found it difficult to complete payment, there has been no reply to emails or calls to the concierge. Phoning the company means a long long wait and sometimes being cut off. Something has gone badly wrong. I have another future cruise already booked via Six Star, but would not risk using this company again.”

“I won’t book another cruise with this company unless they do some apologising and explaining. They’ve been great in the past. The dedicated concierge system appears to have broken down. I spent 6 hours trying to pay the balance of my cruise. No one emailed or phoned when asked, I was cut off while phoning after waiting half an hour. Our flights for next years cruise plus stopovers have not been booked 2 months after they were supposed to be. A shambles this time. I don’t trust this company any more.”

“To the extent that my booking experience was conducted by email it was entirely satisfactory. To the extent that it was conducted by telephone it was a disaster. I indicated to Sandie Collier that I abhor business dealings by telephone and asked that we continue to deal by email. No, Sandie indicated, it was necessary to speak by telephone in order for her to get credit/debit card details (agreed) and in order that she could run through matters generally (strongly disagreed). To what end I do not know our conversation dealt with the following topics. The merits of a room in the bow of the ship or midship. The need for flights at the beginning and/or end of the cruise. Special events for my wife or me during the cruise. All of these I generally understood, though I did not understand why they could not have been dealt with by email. And then began a lengthy exposition on the subject of alcoholic beverages generally, champagne and premium beverages and the presence of alcoholic beverages in the room which I did not understand at all. All this absorbed fifteen minutes of my time, took place one hour later than I had expected and caused my wife to have to hold our dinner, there being a two hour time difference between the UK and South Africa. Please can the customer's wishes be respected. Thank you. Wilson McLeod”
