I’ve spent the bulk of today on the phone with Royal Caribbean pre cruise department because they, without notifying us, cancelled our upcoming June 6-11 2024, 5 night cruise saying it wasn’t paid in full….but it was paid in full the day I booked it and is in my reservation email of $0 balance at booking, $1900 plus on our credit card and $2248.20 of cruise credit….totaling $4300 plus! The story is we had to cancel a booking last October due to my health and were issued “cruise credits” through AON to the tune of $2248.20 which we applied to this booking, along with another $2k plus on our credit card, so booking was paid in full. Well apparently some RC idiot, after we made the reservation, misspelled one of our names negating our cruise credits and therefore leaving us a balance due of $2248.20….but never notified us in any way…this all transpired on the 13th of this month and I’d not gone on the site so was totally shocked when I went in this morning only to find out cruise reservation gone, cancelled. Obviously called Royal Caribbean and spent 2.5 hours first call to pre cruise, 1.75 hours second call to post cruise and 45 minutes to AON, my whole day. Their response after mostly being on hold…. sorry there’s no cabin for you but we can explore other sailings…..NO!!! We do have a very low interior cabin, not your balcony we can do for same price….ARE YOU NUTS, ABSOLUTELY NOT!!! We can refund your taxes and fees but looking into refunding your payment and we can only reissue your cruise credits for a future cruise…..YOURE KIDDING, RIGHT???
Long story short, WE DID NOT CANCEL OUR FULLY PAID CRUISE RESERVATION, THEY DID and they never contacted us nor did they refund the percentage if we truly had been at fault….that’s theft in my eyes. AON say they have no stake in this situation and cannot refund us money for those cruise credits as I’ve made it clear I want all of our money back because we will never step foot on Royal Caribbean ever again. My husband will take up the cause when he gets home, probably involving our credit card. At this point we’re out $4300 and no vacation reservations.
Horrible company who cares 0% about customer service, truth, taking ownership of their blunder….care only about their pocketbooks.
