Okay could be great

Sometime I get a representative that gives me the wrong information and also your new program is very hard to people for people to understand it and the $25 fee is really not a great thing. I use other TA and they don’t charge a fee they give you a flat rate of how much money you’re gonna get back will you guys is very complicated

Proceed with caution or not at all

I just returned from my Dec 4–7 cruise to the Bahamas with my Home School group, and unfortunately, I will never book with this company again. The lack of accountability is unbelievable.

We were promised $100 for every eight cabins booked—we never received it then again they stayed this would be post cruise so we will see. It’s day 3 of being back nothing yet. I will update if any changes arise. We were also promised a private event, which is clearly stated in writing, yet it never happened. Despite countless emails, we received no response.

Several members experienced serious issues due to incorrect data entry, which almost resulted in some not being able to board. I’m still baffled. And to make matters worse, they had the audacity to charge a $25 service fee when they barely provided any service at all.

The reason we chose Cheap Cruises was because of their 4.5-star reviews. Maybe we were unlucky with the agent we had—Kay—but communicating with her was like pulling teeth. I left voicemail after voicemail for her team. In the end, I had to call MSC directly, and they were the ones who fixed the issue. I got incredibly lucky, because usually these matters have to go through the planner.

Imagine keeping this cruise a secret from my daughter since May for her 10th birthday… only to risk not being able to board because of a data entry error. This was my first mother-daughter cruise, and I wanted it to be special. While we did enjoy parts of it, our planned celebration never happened, and that was heartbreaking.

I’m truly disappointed. Our travel agent should consider another career, because this experience was far from smooth sailing—it was catastrophic.

The cruise consultants are the absolute best! They work with you to find the exact trip you are wanting. They don't upsell anything!
All calls are answered quickly. All messages are returned promptly. The excursions are well planned.
I have booked multiple vacations at the same time and nothing has ever been skewed or screwed! Cannot recommend this company enough!

Will not back a refund on my cruise now…

Will not back a refund on my cruise now that I have financial issues from no job. Rude phone ppl when I asked for a supervisor was told " don't go there" as a threat. They do not honer their insurance coverage. Poor customer service. I was told by Max the phone guy that I have called several times from different number with different story when today was the first time I ever called and was hung up on the first time. I will never use cheap cruises ever again for anything not will I sail with Royal Caribbean.

Tried several times to book a cruise

Tried several times to book a cruise. Has amount, inputted information such as name, address, birthday. Site wouldn't take me to payments. Then chat insisted I call him for the best price. I replied I have the price I want and just need help to pay. The chat wouldn't help me! Insisted I call for best price, and cheapcruises would be there when I was ready. Is this bait and switch to try to get you to purchase a more expensive cabin? Seems like it!

Easy to book

Easy to book! Rates and rooms are BETTER than direct cruise line pricing! I feel like I had more options with cheap cruises.com PLUS their reward program gives immediate OBC just for booking!

My travel agent Wendi Kaye is why I book with your company. She and I have been working together for years. Her knowledge and expertise always gets me exactly what I want on a cruise.

Read find print you cannot cancel without big service charges

I booked a cruise on cheap cruises then after looking over other sites including the cruise ship site I discovered the cruise ship site was exactly the same amount that cheap cruises was charging also they had a total money back guarantee for any down payments And to top it off they gave me a free room upgrade. Called cheap cruises within hrs of my booking to cancel was told there's a $100 cancelation fee on top of a 24.99 service charge fee so I offered them to meet cruise line with free room upgrade which they said they could not do so just be fair warned read their fine print before you ever book a cruise through them the cruise lines are a lot safer better choice.

BAD EXPERIENCE

I booked our Alaskan cruise 8 months in advance, did all the planning, bought $100 binoculars to see whales, bought travel insurance for everything and was advised by cheap cruises to book our own airline tickets because tickets could vary in travel times up to over 24 hours duration. I booked the tickets with Alaska Airlines departing Minneapolis MN to Seattle. We arrived early for our flight in Minneapolis. Alaskan Air canceled our flight due to their failure to maintain their aircraft. We therefore missed the sailing of the ship. This was all no fault of our own and find out the travel insurance we thought would cover us was not going to cover this. We are out over $3,000 and no one is offering us anything, credit wise or nothing.
