Review summary

I am very shocked when I receive this invoice.

 

In Nov. 02, 2016, before we get off the ship, we paid $ 100.72.00 USD in cash on the ship and i also have the cash payment receipt. On the cash payment receipt, the Balance Due is 0.00.

 

Since we have never bought anything on the ship, I do not really understand how I can be charged for these following fees. 

 

Can you please explain what are these (the records on my debt card)?

 

Oct. 31, 2016, Empress of  $ 8.31;

Oct. 31, 2016  Empress of $ 69.22;

Nov. 02, 2016 Empress of $ 61.89;

 

I do not know why you still charge me $139.42 CAD ($8.31+69.22+61.89) for above three transactions. 

 

In addtion, when i purchase the ticket, i used my credit card to make the payment through the phone. After that, i have never use my debt card for any activities on the ship. How can you know all the information of my debt card and charge fees without noticing me?

 

I am just wondering what these are and how these things can happen? Could you give me an explain?

 

Regards,

It could be gratuity

the extra charges are probably for beverage purchases in the dining room that had not been processed when you left the ship. Did you use a credit card or debit card you mention both?

You need to contact the cruise line directly. This is a third party app. They wont see it or respond. And don't leave personal information on the Internet like your name unless your begging for more troubles.

You should call royal Caribbean directly about this to get it worked out

They will not answer. I don't know when you cruised but, if a debit card was used to secure your charges on the ship, you have holds on that acct. Talk to your bank about the holds of the above charges. It is not the cruiselines fault. They should drop within a few days.
