Will book again
Before i booked my two cruises, i researched each step, i called and was able to book the exact room i wanted! Once on the cruise, had a surprise voucher for wine of choice abd voucher for dining in luxury steak restaurant, i loved my cruise for these surprises as was our second cruise and received nothing from p&o when we booked directly through them on our first cruise. Yay. Very happy! Thanks Oz Cruising.

Robbery in day light
I tried to book a cruise twice before Christmas, the deal clearly stated $970 on their website and I locked it to pay and received a confirmation email from them. same day i received a call that the offer was no longer available and they forgot to update their website. I booked for the second time for $1100 for the same cruise, same bloody thing . Same call same lame excuse and that particular room was sold out. As I needed to book desperately they made me pay $1500 each person!!! When we found ourselves on the cruise it wasn’t actually sold out and there were so many vacant rooms they were just trying to sell the higher rate ( balcony) rooms forcing me to fork out $3000 instead of $2000. This is unfair and I hope karma gets them back.

Oceanview Balcony means squat
I have paid $5,600 for Oceanview Balcony (guaranteed) on the Ovation of the Seas leaving Sydney 3rd January, 2022. I have been allotted an OBSTRUCTED view room which neither Oz cruising or Royal Caribbean seem to think is their problem.
Not happy and feeling quite duped. I will never book through Oz Cruising again, not will I travel Royal Caribbean again. Rang both Oz Cruising (on a premium number) and Royal Caribbean. Neither think it is their problem.

Cruising made simple with Ozcruising
I have now completed 21 cruises, with various shipping companies, all booked through Ozcruising, and have found them to be very professional to deal with . On several occasions I have had to email or phone, to ask questions on various subjects, emails were answered promptly within 2-3 business days, comprehensively answering my questions . I had to have a major booking adjustment on one occasion, and although it was not successful, they tried hard to help me out, several other requests for minor changes were met with a minimum of fus...Read more
s . Their online booking system is very user friendly, and so are all of their sales representatives particularily Ashleigh . To date all of my my expectations have been met, and I can recommend booking through Ozcruising to anyone going on a cruise . How anyone can find them unsatisfactory to do business with is beyond my comprehension .Similar opinion? Write a review on ieatwords.com.au!

Contacting Ozcruising
I had read some bad reviews with contacting ozcruising. I want to say I booked two cruises the last two weeks with them and on a number of occasions I wanted to ask questions so I emailed them and got answers within a very quick time. Thank you Ashleigh and Caroline. I also like that you can pay for cruise in full and get the discount price. People complain often because they do not read the terms and conditions re cancellations. They spell it out clearly. If you book through travel agency and cancel expect to pay the cruise and the travel agency cancellation fees. With RC you can pay a higher cruise fee to not lose your deposit until a certain date. Read all the T& C or as I said email Ozcruising and ask,

Ashleigh at Ozcruising is excellent
In Nov 2017 a booking was made onboard (Voyager)a Royal Caribbean cruise for a future cruise on Ovation of Seas in Nov 2018. This booking was made thru Royal Caribbeans onboard future cruising representatives. Royal Caribbean then made a royal mess of the booking 6months down the track (apparently the future cruise rep had put us into a 3-4 berth when we required a 2 berth only, thus Royal Caribbean changed our rooms, putting group travellers on different floors, when we had specifically booked next door to each other, changed dining times ...Read more
so that some were on early and some on late dining, all without consultation and not offering a refund on the downgraded room change, or any apology. Ashleigh from Ozcruising went above and beyond to sort this out for the passengers and get us our different category refund and onboard credit. I highly recommend Ashleigh. She was lovely and I would recommend her as a valued employee for ozcruising. Having Ashleigh on your team, I will continue to book all of my cruises thru ozcruising. Please pass on my personal thanks to Ashleigh. She took all the stress and hassle out of the mess created by RC. regards LindaSimilar opinion? Write a review on ieatwords.com.au!

Paid within 2 hours and they cancel my booking a few days later and ask me to pay 15% more
We booked for a 3 day cruise on Ovation of the seas through Ozcruising. We paid within a couple of hours of getting the invoice. We paid by Bpay. a couple of days later i get a call from Ozcruising saying our booking has been cancelled because it was Bpay and we would have to pay appx 15% more to have the same type of room on the same level or we could have a downgraded room without the ocean view for the same price. On principle i told them where to stick their cruise.
They should have as much clearer warning that says "If you pay straight aw...Read more

Booked a cruise just 3 months ago cos the expiry date said book by this weekend or miss out. 2 months later the cruise is half price with room credit. Apparently doesn't apply to full paying fares. Never, ever again oz cruise, you stink

Cheapest I find for Cruises
I have dealt with them several times, but have to admit they are getting harder to contact via phone these days.
But have always found them to be the cheapest, even cheaper than the company direct.

Disgraceful. Do not book through Ozcruising
Tried to email to amend a booking, their email doesn’t work. Tried to call but they’re ”experiencing high volumes of calls”. Tried using twitter to contact them.. twice.. and they deleted my tweets. It shouldn’t be this hard to contact them. You know, considering they have my money and all.

Always competitive
We have used Oz Cruising twice, booking trips on P&O and Carnival. The process was quick, easy and the choice of cruises varied. I found them to be one of the cheapest online websites. Will use them again and would recommend them to friends.

Great Last Minute Deal!!
When something appears to be "To good to be true" you are cautious.
I was able to book a last minute deal 5 days out from a short domestic cruise for under$100 per night.
The booking process was so simple that within 15minutes of first seeing the deal the tickets were printing off on my printer. The Cruise was a P&O Comedy cruise, it was a great time with 7 comedians on-board doing shows. I wont ever do the stand-up passenger show again as I got gonged off! the accommodation was roomy and comfortable but you need to sleep with ear plugs to pu...Read more

Excellent caring customer service!
The Oz Cruising staff are amazing!!! I had a situation last week where it looked like our family holiday would be ruined, but I called and emailed their consultants for help everyday and they really came onboard to help us and they showed patience, compassion, understanding and professionalism through all my dealings with them. In the end they managed to help me change a difficult booking and my nephew was able to join us. My family are very grateful to the Oz Cruising Consultants and their customer service is the best I've come across! Will book and travel again through them. Thanks so much Oz Cruising!!!

Exceptional Customer Service
We have booked many cruises with Oz Cruising without any issues. We had a cruise booked for New Year but due to a unfortunate change of circumstances were forced to cancel. From the first phone call I made through to the deposit being refunded in full, I was treated courteously and professionally. We will definitely book with them again and this recent experience exceeded my expectations.

They take your money and don't care
I have had a few dealing but never again. They do have a good website but that's about it.
My last cruise not long after booking dropped $1000 a head I emailed then and asked if they could do something. They didn't care.

Questions & Answers
Lawrieasked
Why do Ozcruising not answer their phones or reply to emails even although they are promising replies within 10 to 15 days and why are they not paying out refunds within 90 days as promised on their original cancellation forms. P&O have told me that Ozcruising would receive our refund within 60 days but Ozcruisings’ automatic response says we won’t get a payout within two and a half years. Why?
3 answers
Hi Lawrie,
Can only guess that they hold onto our money in their account as security. as one of the other reviewers said "The banks who provide credit card merchant facilities to travel agents require them to hold large amounts of cash as security"
That is a pretty weak excuse for a company that wants to carry on trading after the pandemic. Promising 90 days refund and changing it to 2 years credit is not the action of an honest company desiring to continue in business. I ask ‘why’ because this company’s inaction and lack of response is quite baffling to me.
I was hoping for a convincing explanation direct from OzCruising. The whole fiasco only makes sense to me if OzCruising is colluding with P&O to avoid paying out refunds. P&O refuse to get involved, even although the actions of OzCruising as one of their agents is reprehensible.
This is a part of OZ automatic email reply....obviously a blatant lie as RC has confirmed that OZCRUSING have received our refund money (less than 45 days after requesting a refund not a FCC).
The pandemic reason is getting a little thin.. especially when you consider that this is an online travel agent ...who can work from any remote computer.
Q: When will my refund come through?
We have been informed by most of the Cruise lines that refund processing times have increased substantially, this has had an impact on our ability to process refunds for some time.
Unfortunately, due to the Cruise Lines taking longer to refund money it will take at least 6 9 months before the funds are received by our office, once received we will prioritise these in cruise date order. We appreciate your patience and understanding as we process a high volume of refunds due to the global pandemic and reduced staffing levels.
June Sasked
If we pay the balance for a cruise we have booked through you and the cruise is cancelled before you pay the cruise line do you guarantee a refund in reasonable time.
