Review summary

I sailed with RC once before and it was okay. On the 2nd sail, I lost 10000 dollars because they lied that they would do visas on arrival. I knew I had to do visa. I called in to check about payment and verification of booking and they told me they could do visas for us, so I was thrilled and didn’t do visa on my own. We got to the boarding site on time but got told they wouldn’t do visa for us. They wouldn’t refund either even though that was their fault. I called in to complain but they wouldn’t even reason and they cursed at me on phone. What’s worse is that was our planned honeymoon trip. We saved up for 2 years for this and were dearly looking forward to sailing on this trip. Never sailing with them ever again. We lost money and our honeymoon was ruined for life

When you say they swore at you, did they actually announce the port of Day 3 in Thailand? (Bonus points for anyone who "gets"this.)

I don't believe this is a real review. How could anyone actually expect the cruise line to do visas for them? Please lol.

If you knew that you needed a visa why did you not take care of it yourself? Your responsibility.

Your review seems to be because of a total miscommunication,I do not blame you for being annoyed.Was the low score on you cabin due to not proper cleaning?

Wow you paid $10000 for just an ocean view cabin? Yikes!

A cruise line is not the State Department. I don't trust them to do anything besides sail the ship. I wouldn't trust them to book air travel, nor pre or post cruise hotels in the arrival/departure port. They just sail the ship and sometimes they struggle with that.

Unfortunately a hard lesson learned.
