Goes by AlaskaCruises.com UPDATE: The company reached out to remedy the issue, apologize for the confusion and were able to add my original credits to my account. This company goes by AlaskaCruises.com and also icruise.com and their parent company goes by both Arrivia and WMPH. I booked my first cruise with this company and immediately had problems that lasted over 9 months. I had to call every other week for that entire 9 month period because they put several free packages on my receipt but then refused to honor the receipt. I was told on 5 different occasions that the issue was a technical glitch on their end and that a supervisor would fix it and call me to let me know. No one ever called me. All 5 times it was a lie to get me off the phone. I am still missing my free drink package free gratuities and free Wi-Fi along with a $200 on board credit. All of these items are listed very clearly on my receipt and were the reason I purchased the package but the company is refusing to give any of them to me. I believe this is a legitimate scam that they are running to get people to sign up; please look at other reviews that are very similar. It appears as though they get you to sign up and promise things on your receipt but then just hope you get exhausted and stop calling. Today I asked for another supervisor and was flat out denied by the call center worker who said that a supervisor was not going to talk to me.

Do not use this website/service I suspect this website is a scam. At first I was excited to find a cruise to Alaska for such a good price but that excited feeling didn't last long. I was called by a representative and when I told him that I couldn't book something right away because I didn't have the time off work approved yet, he became aggressively pushy. Threatening that prices had gone up while we were on the phone, etc. After I hung up on him I had three other representatives call-pressuring me to purchase a cruise with them. I felt very uncomfortable with this behavior. I called Holland Cruise lines directly and they were able to get me a better room for less money. Cruise booked! I am so glad I did not book with alaskacruises.com. I am still getting phone calls from these people even after I emailed them explaining my disappointment with their business. I have also filed a complaint with the BBB. My suggestion to you is to do your homework and research before these vultures steal your money. The representative I spoke with (that you should avoid at all costs) is named Sanjay- ext: 69843

Incompetent Travel Agency Some of the travel agents are very incompetent, not knowing what they can do for customers and not carrying out undertakings they promise to complete. There are other agents who are efficient and apologize for errors others made and rectify the situation. Sometimes they keep you on hold on the phone for an extended period of time while they attempt to process sales they finally say that they are not allowed to process. Payments sometimes do not show on their statements, but are later corrected. I was asked to check off "declined" for purchases already made. I suspect that they have a poor software program to work with, which exacerbates the booking process.

Customer Service is non-existent Tried to book on line but it was complicated and I had questions. They have an 800 number but it just goes to a long phone tree and I waited nearly 30 minutes before hanging up out of frustration. I couldn’t find an email. The “deals” aren’t really as presented. It’s basically a bait and switch. You’d be better off to go directly through the cruise line. The prices appear to be more on the cruise line sites but they actually aren’t, they’re just upfront about all the extras.

Poor communication Poor communication. They do not contact you at all prior to final payment being due, they want you to lose your deposit. In fact you will get nothing from them after your initial confirmation emails. Horrible business practices.
