I book my cruise in apr 2022. I bought my childrens beverage package in July 2022. The cancelled my childrens beverage package in December 2022 for no reason. They claimed it was because we made a group. Funny thing is the packages were canceled a week before the group was made. Might I add my kids were the only people whose packages were effected.Royal Caribbean Group

1 starWell I was so excited about my trip, I even bought the premium drink package not with alcohol the other one because I was told I would have milkshakes everyday there was none what so ever, then when I asked about that they said that they couldn't help me so when I got off the ship and I made my complaint to cooperate they offered me 100 on board credit not a drink package on another cruise just 100 bucks is all I paid over 500 for that crappy package. This company said that it was my fault that they ruined my trip. So if you want to cruise with this crooked company go ahead if they steal from disabled veterans they will steal from anyone and everyone also. To all my fellow veterans do not choose this company they most definitely do not have your needs or respect in mind at all, they will protect each other no matter what this company deserves negative stars all the way, The *** .of this company needs to meet better with customer service standards instead of worrying about their new ship instead of the people that pay for their salaries. Then this company makes it look like it's your fault for their mistakes so I would not do business with these lying people.Review fromWilliam R

Try to book a cruise and after providing all the details. As requested, I allow the company to pick my cabin for a cheater rate. Then to save money, I applied for a royal Caribbean credit card to save $200.00. After getting the aproval, the company wouldn't accept t my credit card. Call customer service and explained the online booking wouldn't accept the credit card that I was just got approval. The reason was that there were no standard rooms that the company could pick an provide for me. So I would have to pick my own room for a higher rate. Which is called the switch an bait practice to get more money from the consumer. Now I have a credit card that wouldn't of applied for knowing these rooms weren't available. With great hope, I will like an attorney to file class action lawsuit and hold them accountable for the companies illegal switch and bait practice that is being done online by this company. I will never attempt to cruise with Royal Caribbean again. Customer service, could not override this and pick the room for the lower price as promise and guarantee on the website. Totally unacceptableRoyal Caribbean Group

I'm leaving a 1 star review for the customer service. I originally booked 2 rooms online. I called and upgraded to ensure the rooms would be near each other. The reservation agent gave me the option to have conjoined BALCONY rooms. I opted for that upgrade and paid an additional $440 per room. The receipt was sent to me that showed the room numbers and room description "park view w/balcony." When we boarded the ship we found out the rooms that we reserved did NOT have balconies. I went to guest services but they said there was nothing they could do. We made the best of the trip. The food was amazing. People were great. However, the room was not nice, by any means. The biggest complaint I have about the ship was the smoking in the casino. It wafted out of all entrances and being allergic to cigarette smoke it was hard to deal with. The Monday after we got back I called customer service and sat on the phone for nearly 5 hours between the first hold and being put on hold half a dozen times by the agent who was assisting me. She repeatedly told me that I declined the upgrade, I should have known it didn't have a balcony, etc. basically calling me a liar for over an hour. Eventually she told me they would pull the phone recording from the day I upgraded and review them. A week went by and I heard nothing. I called back, several more hours on hold, the agent told me that the original agent promised she would call or email me with an explanation of why they were not going to refund me. Never heard anything. I ended up filing a dispute with my credit card company which promptly got approved and I got my money back for the upgrade I did not receive. We will never cruise with Royal Caribbean again.Royal Caribbean Group

I took a cruise in June 2022. I am still waiting now in January 2023 for a refund of $1700 because they failed to refund an excursion they canceled on their own and also a drink package paid for during COVID that they never refunded but I had to pay for again while on my trip. No one knows anything and trying to deal with them is beyond frustrating.Royal Caribbean Group
