Sick of waiting for refund
I will never use this company again, any bookings in future will be done directly with Cruise companies and/or airlines, hotels etc.
I cancelled my cruise package to Hawaii on the 13th of March and every time I contact CruiseAway they change the goal posts. The last time I heard from them it was now out to 90 days (which will be next week). Not a very good experience for someone when it was supposed to be the first ever overseas holiday I have ever had and it's been nothing but a nightmare. I also don't have that much income as I am a single mum so when someone won't give me back my hard earned money it gets extremley frustrating.
I think a call to ACCC and/or Slater & Gordon is on the cards.

There is no zero stars!
Cunard cruise around Japan 23 April to 3 May 2020 booked through CruiseAway with friends was cancelled by Cunard in February and due to SingaporeAir changing flights, we asked for a full refund on 3rd March. Well, we are still waiting: Cruiseaway Refunded half of what we had paid on 22/5 with no email of breakup, so I rang 25/5 and asked for a call back, still waiting, so I sent an email As well on 25/5 requesting contact, still waiting so I rang twice yesterday the first disconnected after 8 minutes on hold, the second was answered and after e...Read more
xplaining was told SingaporeAir had not refunded flight monies! This is despite our cruise partners telling me they had received full refunds on 26/5 - all three of them! I asked On 26 March via email for a manager to contact me as I had lost my job due to the virus and need the money but still waiting. All I can say is the ACCC and Slater & Gordon are going to get a call! DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY!Similar opinion? Write a review on ieatwords.com.au!

Beware, service disappears when they have your money
Beware. Once they have your money, the service disappears entirely. I was misquoted the price for our cruise and after I booked I was told I had to pay more. Upgrading our drinks package was yet another drama and when we tried to make some changes to add another passenger, we could not even get an answer from them. Now that cruises and international travel have been stopped, they will not communicate with us at all about the return of our deposit. They do seem to have the time to send me junk emails about future cruises. I would never book with them again. Read the other reviews, this seems to be a common complaint about this business.

Disgraceful service
We had our cruise cancelled on 12/2. That was disappointing but better to be safe. I have called Princess cruises the ship we were meant to cruise on and they told me they sent Cruise Away a cheque on the 15/2???? 18/3 and we still have not received our refund not happy to say the least would never book with them ever again. Customer service has been appalling numerous emails phone calls etc still no refund or return contact in days

Not to be trusted
I booked a cruise on Cruiseaways website. The cabin I booked was clearly described (in writing also with photos) as a two room cabin. I paid a deposit. An hour after I paid my deposit, I then decided to have a look at the cruise lines website itself for details of the cabin I had booked, imagine my surprise to find it wasn't a two bedroom cabin, it was nothing like the description or photos on the Cruiseaway website. I immediately contacted (via email) Cruiseaway, three hours after paying my deposit to cancel, only to be told (via email) my d...Read more
eposit will not be refunded as those where the conditions of booking. I then replied that I had not been given any details of terms and condition when booking and no details were forwarded to me, only a receipt for the deposit. Two hours later I received an email with the terms and conditions attached. I recontacted Cruiseaway explaining how I had cancelled in less than 24 hours after making the booking and a full 12 months before the cruise date. They told me that it was the policy of the cruise not to refund deposits. I asked how could the cruise line have the deposit when the money had only been transferred to Cruiseaway's account less then 24 hours ago (this all took place on a Sunday, so no transfers would have taken place until the next day). In the end I received an email saying they would refund the deposit, but it will take 25 days for it to be refunded. It has now been 30 days and still no refund. I contacted Cruiseaway, only to be told it's a very busy time for cruise lines and the matter has been handed over to their crisis team, whatever that is.Similar opinion?

This company does not care, no customer service what so ever
Booked and paid for a cruise on the Queen Elizabeth out of Melbourne in December. A medical problem means I had to cancel the cruise. Cruiseaway took $400 cancelation fee and tell me it will be 6 to 8 weeks before we get our money back. I understand a cancelation fee but $400? 6 to 8 weeks to get the money back is just plain rude. Problem is I'm sure all the cruise lines are the same. puts you off this kind of holiday. Oh and I did have travel insurance but we did not fall under the criteria to claim it through them. five Phone calls to them and the attitude was the same they really didn't care. Funny how they couldn't do enough for us when we were looking to book the cruise.

I will use CruisaWay again
I had a stumble as I failed to supply copies of my passports hence the flights were not confirmed however this was easily fixed by CruiseAway. The consultant offered a host of alternatives for my booking including flights available and hotel accommodation available to give me the best price without compromise. My consultant fixed my booking with a minimum of fuss.
