It took me a while to work out how to make the booking and made several mistakes that caused me to redo my booking again. But it's my fault so no complaint!

We needed two rooms and your office was closed so I booked online. I booked my daughter and s.o.'s room first and then I booked my husband and my room - but it charged my husband and I $10 more each than our 23 year old daughter and boyfriend. Why? We booked the exact same category of room and it said $684 but charged us $694

We have used American
Discount Cruises for many Celebrity and Princess cruises. We always compare their prices with other vendors, as well as the cruise line's themselves and have always received the best service and prices from them. Their service and knowledge has always been outstanding.

I was on hold for 15 minutes.
Company Response
Hello Sandra,
Thank you for taking the time to provide your feedback regarding your recent booking and travel planning experience. We sincerely value of input!
We are sorry to hear that when you called in today, you were on hold for 15 minutes and unable to speak with an agent prior to booking your cruise on our website. We reviewed our records and see that shortly after being on hold, you did also email our Support Team to have someone call you. We did reply to that message within a few minutes of receiving it and routed it to our Sales Team or assistance. However, ultimately we see you chose to book through our website at 4:50pm.
We are glad you were able to secure a reservation via our website! Please rest assured our Sales Team works as efficiently as possible to try and assist all clients that call in, but at times there can be a wait time if all agents are currently assisting other clients when you reach out. A wait time of 15-20 minutes can be common across our industry, though it is certainly not ideal. Our agency is working hard to reduce this wait time whenever possible. But at the time you contacted our agency, we were experiencing a high volume of calls. The call volume did settle down right at the time we show you ultimately decided to book through our website.
Once again we apologize that we missed speaking with you by phone this time around. However, we are thankful you still chose to book through our website. If you do have any questions regarding the booking you made on our website, please do not hesitate to contact our Web Sales team directly. They can be reached by phone or email. We look forward to assisting you, and appreciate your business!
Kind Regards,
Web Sales and Service Department

The receptionist was GREAT! but no one was able to call me before I just called the cruise line. Still good- but not seamless.
Company Response
Hello Rose,
Thank you for providing a rating after booking your cruise. We value you taking the time to provide us your feedback, as well as your business. We want to make sure you know that your satisfaction is our top priority.
We have reviewed your feedback, and we are so happy to hear that you experienced great customer service from our receptionist when you initially called in to speak with our agency to book your cruise. Based on your request, we understood that your initial booking attempt you made through our website did fail, but that you wanted to still book. We took your request and attempted to connect you with an agent during that call, but unfortunately all agents were busy assisting other clients. As a result we did take the details of your request to be filtered into our call back queue for an agent in our Sales Team to assist you as soon as possible. Typically re-booking requests are handled with priority, and we aim to have the requests handled the same day. However, we do have to be mindful of any other priority requests in queue. Unfortunately, due to a high volume of sales inquiries and there only being about 2 hours from when you called to when we closed that day, our Sales Team was unable to connect with you before we closed. Please rest assured your request did remain in queue until the next day, when we did forward it on to an agent to assist around 9:30am. Unfortunately, by that time we do understand you already proceeded to rebook through our website, and that time the booking was successfully processed.
We apologize that we were unable to have an agent speak with you the day you reached out to aid in processing your cruise for you. That is certainly not typical of our agency, and is a processing time we are aiming to continually improve upon. We have forwarded your feedback on to our management team to aid in improving this process. We are happy to hear you were successfully able to book through our website though, and we hope you enjoy your upcoming cruise!
Kindest Regards,
Web Sales and Service Department

I just find working with the on line sites so challenging compared to speaking to a person on the phone.
Company Response
Hello James,
Thank you for taking the time to provide your feedback regarding your recent booking and travel planning experience. We sincerely value your input!
We understand that you may have found booking through websites more challenging than working with an agent over the phone. We are always aiming to improve the user experience on our website. As a result, if you have any specific feedback you wish to share regarding the website challenges you experienced, please do not hesitate to send them to our Web Sales team directly at [email protected]. We would be happy to provide those specifics to our IT department for review.
In addition, we did want to make sure you were aware that we do have a fully staffed Web Sales team that is available to assist any clients with questions they may have as they book themselves on our website. Going forward, should you have any questions while trying to book on our website, please do not hesitate to call us at 1-866-214-7447 to be connected with a live Web Sales representative for assistance.
Ultimately, if you do prefer to book with an agent directly vs using our website, we did want to ensure you are aware that our agency does offer the option to book directly with an agent via our Sales Team. They can be reached by calling our main phone number 1-866-214-7447 as well.
We hope you enjoy your upcoming cruise!
Kind Regards,

Easy to book

At the very beginning I was afraid to book a cruise through a third party agent since I have been so used to book directly with the cruise line only, but I "took my chances" and I did it and everything was so smooth, quick, transparent, and the best part at a lower price. Now I just booked my second cruise using this website. Good customer service too.

Company Response
Hello Erin,
Thank you for providing a rating after booking your cruise. We value you taking the time to provide us your feedback, as well as your business. We want to make sure you know that your satisfaction is our top priority.
We are sorry to hear that you experienced some connection and processing time issues when booking the cruise through our website. Since our site is live connected to the cruise line systems, drops or lags in connection can happen at times. However, we do our best to monitor the system to limit these occurrences. We sincerely appreciate your patience during these moments, and although they can occur, we will still notify our IT department of the occurrence.
Please let us know if you need any further assistance. We hope you enjoy your upcoming MSC Meraviglia cruise!
Kind Regards,

Always easy to book online with great prices

I decided to book a cruise online but called to make sure I was doing the process correctly. The customer service representative was friendly and extremely helpful. After speaking with her, I finished booking the cruise online. We were happy with what they offered for OBC. We couldn't find any other online cruise companies offering much of anything. So far, so good!!!
Why Trust Verified Reviews?
Verified Reviews are real, authentic reviews collected from actual paying customers, using Shopper Approved's Verified Review Platform. When reviews are Verified by Shopper Approved, you know that you can trust them to make better buying decisions.
Unverified Reviews on the other hand, are reviews collected by Open Review platforms that allow anyone to leave a review, without any validation or proof of purchase. Unfortunately, most reviews you read online are Unverified Reviews, and can't be trusted.
As a consumer, here's how you can tell the difference:
Verified Reviews from Verified Review Platforms like Shopper Approved, have much higher review counts and higher overall Star ratings, because they attempt to collect reviews from every single paying customer.
Unverified Reviews from Open Review Platforms, tend to have much lower review counts and more negative Star ratings, because people with bad experiences are primarily those who leave reviews. This often creates a misleading, inaccurate portrayal of a companies true reputation.
So, when searching for Verified Reviews, look for the name you know you can trust. Shopper Approved.
