      We purchased a cruise and paid in full in 2021 to Antarctica through Prestige Cruises. We have yet to hear from them (***************************** was our agent) and our flight is tomorrow and our $15,000 cruise is on the following day, the 9th. We have emailed, called, begged repeatedly for information as we are currently in ************ which was another $2,400 we spent flying here. We have heard nothing. They are also supposed to have a Covid test for us, all sorts of things. I do not know how someone can justify not giving us the information necessary to be on a cruise we paid for

      My husband and I purchased a 19-day Sea, Land and Air cruise trip package with two booking #'s ******, and ****** last year in 2021 from Prestige Travel and Cruise Inc. The travel dates were 6/22/22 to 7/10/22 with *************** cruise line. We also purchased ************** Insurance from Prestige Travel and Cruise Inc. to cover any medical illnesses (including COVID-19). ******* insurance cost was $344.00. I was told ******* would refund me the entire cruise expenses for the trip if we had to cancel. I went ahead and paid in full the insurance coverage fee. About 6 or 7 days before we were to board the cruise ship on June 22, 2022, we contracted COVID-19. On June, 17, 2022, I immediately notified Prestige Cruises, *************** Cruise Line and I filed a claim with *******. I submitted to ******* all requested documents. I called them last week again and they said that a Cancellation Statement is needed in order to process my claim. I contacted *************** cruise line and I was told I had to call Prestige Travel and Cruise INC to obtain the Cancellation Statement. To this date, I have been given the runaround and I was only provided with a cancelation notification, which is NOT what ******* is requesting. The outstanding refund is $4,658.00 that I am owed by ******* as part of the claim. If I cannot get a resolution from either ******* or Prestige Travel and Cruise INC., then Prestige owes me the outstanding refund amount $4,658.00. My original claim with ******* was for $5,738.00 (minus port charges that I have been refunded already $1,080).

      I verified with the travel insurance company that the claim has been paid. The client should receive the funds within 7 - 10 days.
