Incredible problem with reservation 92487013

I booked, and paid in full, a cruise with Celebrity Cruises through their website (Seascanner reservation number 92487013; Celebrity Cruises reservation number 3747292). Now, I've just received a disturbing message from Celebrity Cruises, warning me that I haven't paid for the cruise and, if I don't pay, it will be canceled. So, no money and no cruise! in addition to having paid for the missing cruise, we're very concerned because, among other things, we've already paid for flights, hotels, etc. In a nutshell: terrible service from seascanner.co.uk and we hope they fix the incredible issue quickly

Hi Massimiliano,

Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review.

We are sorry for the confusion and stress caused by the message you received from the cruise line.
We would like to reassure you that your booking is confirmed and is not at risk of cancellation. The message you received was an automated notification sent by the cruise line in error. Your payment is settled through our monthly account arrangements with the cruise line. Unfortunately, due to the timing of these payments, an automated message was generated by the cruise line in error.

We completely understand how concerning this would have been, especially when you have already made additional travel arrangements. We have raised this issue with the cruise line to help prevent similar situations from occurring in the future.

We apologise again for the worry caused and appreciate you bringing this to our attention.

Kind regards,
Seascanner Customer Support Team

Liz at Seascanner Customer Support

Liz at Seascanner Customer Support was fantastic at assisting us. She was lovely to talk to, very helpful and caring. She responded to emails and contacted MSC on our behalf, even working on this to very late on a Friday night. We had a problem with our room not being suitable due to the needs of our family and she went above and beyond for us. I always recommend Seascanner as they are the most competitive for price but now having had to use their customer support, they really are worth using!

Naomi is a star..

Unfortunately we had to cancel our Cruise due to illness and my partner having to go into hospital for a replacement hip operation.

I filled out the online forms to Seascanner and Naomi contacted me.

What an excellent agent she is, talk about excellent customer service.

She was very kind, sympathetic and patient, she was so helpful and got everything cancelled for me without any further hassle, she even wished my partner good luck with her surgery and her recovery.

Naomi is a STAR.

Because of her I would heartily recommend Seascanner to everyone.

Thank you Naomi.

We had an issue with our boarding passes not being released. Spoke to Liz who sorted out the problem very quickly and we were ready to go.
This does seem to be a common problem with MSC so maybe they need to address it.

I booked a cruise through Seascanner at…

I booked a cruise through Seascanner at the end of April for a cruise in August.

Everything appeared to be fine, as I had a booking confirmation from Seascanner and a confirmation from Costa Cruise.

I was able to login to both My Trips on Seascanner and the Itinerary with the Costa Cruise, as well as see my booking in the Cruise Cruise app.

However, when I went to pay the balance on the due date I could not log in to either Seascanner's or Costa Cruise's website.

As it was the weekend I was not able to contact customer support for either company. I did manage to fill in a contact form with Seascanner.

On the Monday I tried to use Seascanner's online chat, but they were only able to discuss new bookings. I made several attempts to call the customer support line on the Monday morning, which is supposed to operating between 10am and 4pm Monday to Friday, but was still saying the line was closed at 11:30am.

By midday i was contacted by Angelina in customer services, who did an excellent job at fixing the issue for me and the booking was reopened and the cruise secured with the cruise line. I was advised that Costa Cruise had updated their IT systems at the time of booking and it had fallen foul to computer error.

At this stage I would have been happy to give Seascanner a 4 or 5 star review, as Angelina worked hard to resolve the issue and alleviate a lot the stress and anxiety this issue has caused.

However, at no stage has either Seascanner or Costa Cruise offered anything by way of compensation for the stress and anxiety. We have flights and accommodation booked at our start and end ports. Had it not been for the balance been due we could have been close to our departure date to find out we didn't have a cruise to go on.

I contacted Seascanner to see if either themselves or Costa Cruise might offer a goodwill gesture, but was given a flat no from Mitch at Seascanner. I pushed for a further response and have not heard anything since.

This is our first cruise experience and it has not encouraged to go on one again and there is still a nagging doubt that there will be no more issues to come.

Hi Daniel,

Thank you for taking the time to leave us a 3* review, we appreciate your feedback.

We are sorry for the stress and concern caused by this issue with your booking. Unfortunately, this was the result of an error following updates made to the cruise line's systems, which was outside of our control.

As soon as we reopened during our normal operating hours, Angelina investigated the matter and worked quickly to have the booking reinstated and secured with the cruise line. We're pleased that she was able to resolve the issue and provide reassurance during what was understandably a worrying situation.

We are sorry again for the stress and inconvenience caused on this occasion and appreciate you taking the time to share your feedback. We hope you have a wonderful time on your cruise.

Kind regards,
Seascanner Customer Support Team

Exceptional Service

The Cruise Consultant went over and above to firstly secure the cruise we needed and the cabin which we required.
Excellent communication throughout and a real pleasure to deal with.
