My wife and I along with our son and daughter in law just got back from a
wonderful cruise on another line. As is our custom we tried to book our next
cruise and decided to try NCL as we had not cruised with them before. After
checking their online website we decided to call them direct. We were given
information that upgrades were available and a price quote. We were told that
confirmation would arrive via email. When that arrived it did not include the
upgrades we were promised. I called them and was told that since I was quoted
the senior rate no upgrades were available. I was told that the price is now
$200.00 more per cabin but no upgrades were available today so instead of deck 8
we would be given rooms on deck 5...not an upgrade. During this process I spoke
with four different individuals and never got the same answer from any of them.
I then spoke with a supervisor and she could care less. She stated that the
cruise line is not responsible for their agents quoting the wrong rates. They
would accept no responsibility. I then requested cancellation of our
reservations.
After this fiasco it is doubtful if we will ever cruise on NCL.
