      Paid a deposit on a cruise wherein the terms provided for refund ability before Dec24,2023. Attempted to cancel only to be told I would suffer a ******* penalty. This because they had given me a ****** credit from another booking and later stopped offering that to others. The company unilaterally changed the cancellation period without my permission. XTDX4K reference No. I informed a resolution agent at the company of this problem and was told there was nothing I could do. I intend to file suit including an action for conversion given the company knows it has no legitimate grounds for breaching this contract.

      Dear **************:

      Thank you for contacting us regarding your sailing on *****************. We are grateful that you have given us this opportunity to review your concerns.

      Although your situation is very unfortunate, our cancellation policies are clearly detailed in our brochures and online and must apply to everyone equally in order to maintain the integrity of our company and the cancellation protection plans we offer. We show the March 23, ****, booking cancel fee schedule started with the amount of the deposit $875.00 per person on February 27, 2023. This is listed on all your booking confirmations. We also show this was advised a couple times prior to the booking being canceled.

      Many of our guests purchase our cancellation protection to safeguard against unforeseen difficulties every time they sail and offering the benefits of this coverage to guests who do not purchase it would be unfair to those guests who do. Although we are truly sorry for the circumstances involved in your cancellation, we are not able to offer a refund or credit toward another cruise. And while we realize this decision will be disappointing to you, we are certain you can understand that we cannot make an exception as it would put us in a very compromising position to make exceptions for some travelers, but not for others. We sincerely wish we did not have to disappoint you in this matter.

      Again, please accept our apologies for your disappointing holiday. We hope that despite the issues you encountered well have an opportunity to welcome you back on board.

      Sincerely,

      I am rejecting this response because:

      I have written confirmation that I could cancel this without penalty prior to Dec. 25, 2023. I was told on the phone that this was a refundable deposit. You must have a recording of our initial conversation. I will proceed with litigation when the demand period I've outlined has expired without your having refunding the amount in question.

      On 8/11/2023 I booked a reservation for 2 for a 7-Day tropical ********* Cruise, booking #2LDG9L Due to personal circumstances I cancelled the cruise in early September of 2023 and received by email a cancellation confirmation on 9/28/2023 from Holland America showing a full refund in the amount of $3,728.00. When I booked the cruise, I paid for it in full on my ************* credit card. After booking and paying for the cruise I paid off the ************* card and closed the account, not knowing at the time I would would be cancelling the cruise and would need the credit card for the refund. I contacted one of Holland America's customer service reps and told them my situation, she stated that accounting would need to try and refund the closed credit card, then receive a rejection from CitiBank and then American Holland would mail me a check to my residence.I called American Holland's accounting department on 11/1/2023 to find out when a check would be mailed to me and was unable to talk to anyone, they have an automated message stating they are backlogged with refund requests and it takes a long time to receive a refund so I emailed them on 11/1/2023 like I was prompted to and was immediatley sent back a generic email that states exactly what the automated phone line states. Reading the other BBB complaints about this cruise line makes me feel like I will never receive a refund even though I have followed the cruise line protocol for a full refund.

      I received a gift card personally stating that I can enjoy $300.00 onboard credit. Compliments of cruises only. This was hand delivered to me as I first got into my cabin from one of the employees. I went to the spa and later realized I was charged on my account. When I spoke with customer service and questioned it, they said it was a mistake on their end. That I should not of received that gift card. They would not reverse the charge and I had no choice but to pay it. I never would have gone to the spa if I had to pay it myself.Very upset and it ruined my trip!

      I am rejecting this response because: Holland America is now trying to have me book another cruise(which only makes them money) in order for me to receive the 300 dollars that should of been reversed at the time of my sailing. Holland America admitted THEIR mistake and still refused to make it right by forcing me to pay for the spa service. I had to pay for their mistake!  They should be crediting my American Express card and apologizing for their mistake.

      We booked cruise on Holland America June 9 - June 18. We paid $738 for their Flight Ease which promised Savings on flights(we paid more than if we had booked our own flight), Late Arrival Protection, and Support(which we did not get from them). This is the link to the advertisement. ********************************************************************************. We arrived in ********* ****** at 1:30 am after travelling 14 hours. When we arrived they told us we did not have hotel accommodations until 3 pm. All the other passengers did. We had to pay $214.92 for a room. Holland America booked this flight earlier than needed, then did not make hotel accommodations for us. We had the same issue on the flight home. Our ship docked in Vancouver at 7 am on June 18 but they booked a flight for us at 8 am on June 19. When I realized the problem I called the cruise line who told me they did not have hotel accommodations for that night either. I spent 2 hours on the phone trying to get them to change that flight to sometime on June 18, which they eventually did. Unfortunately, I did not realize the same thing had happened on the flight to *********. As far as the Support they promised in the add, it didn't exist. The next morning in ********* I explained the problem to the lady at the Holland American desk in the hotel lobby. She said she couldn't help us. She gave us another number to call. That person could not help us. I tried to get someone on the cruise ship to help, but they said they could not. When I returned from the cruise I contacted the office in *******. They opened a case and asked for information, which I sent. This is some of the information from that email. I will send you a copy of the email. June 21, 2023 RE Case: ************ Booking: XHWQ9J When I didn't hear from them, I called and again, no one would help me. I would like to be reimbursed for the cost of the hotel, $214.92 as well as some of the $738 for false advertisement.

      We received this guests complaint about these specific issues on June 19, 2023. This guest did purchase flights through our flight ease program. The Air was purchased on February 14, 2023. Guests were notified of the flights departure and arrival times. Our Flight Ease program only reserves flights for our guests. If the guests needs a hotel reservation based upon when their flights come in, that is the guest's responsibility. However with this guest, they were given a goodwill gesture of $215.00 of onboard credit, which is the amount that she paid for the hotel. We responded to this guest's complaint in a timely manner and offered compensation as a goodwill gesture. We are unable to proved a refund or reimbursement as it was the guest's responsibility to make sure that guest's hotels were booked properly.

      Complaint: 20747675

      I am rejecting this response because: Your response :  "If the guest needs a hotel reservation based upon when their flights come in, that is the guests responsibility"

                                                                   My response:  You booked hotel accommodations for us for the following night.  Why didn't you book them for the night we arriveId?

      We were NOT informed that we received a good will gesture of $215 of on board credit.  

      They never even responded to any of my calls except to say there was nothing they could do. So responding in a timely manner is NOT true.

      The only compensation I was ever offered was a free breakfast at the hotel.

      The main problem in all of this is that Holland America booked my flight a day early.  For what reason?  There was no need for us to arrive a day early forcing us to pay for an additional nights stay. Why was it booked so early?

We are grateful that you have given us this opportunity to review your concerns.We would like to extend a refund to you in the total amount of $240.00 USD for crew appreciation charges. This refund will be posted to the card used on board ending in ****. Please be advised that your request has been forwarded to the appropriate department and can take a minimum of **** weeks to process."It's been 5 months and I still haven't received my refund. I've reached out like 6 times since then and I have gotten no reply.

      In an effort to show our concern and in appreciation for your patronage, we would like to offer you a future onboard credit for $100.00.This will be issued as Future Cruise Credit in your mariner account; this credit is good for one year from the date of this communication.

      I purchased medical insurance for a cruise. I ended up having a medical emergency. I cannot file a claim without the dr. report. I asked for it 4 times while on the cruise and they sent me the same charge invoice instead. Every time I clarified that I needed the medical report. Post cruise, I called Holland and they assured me they would get. It has over a year and nothing. I am out over $1000. Every time I call, I am assured I will get an email- nothing. I don't know what else to do.
