I am writing to share my totally dissatisfying cruising experience with RCI and their poor complaint handling practice. During the trip, my old mum and her old buddy (over seventies) suffered so much and said won’t cruise anymore because of such bad experience provided by RCI. I wrote a complaint to RCI after the trip, and what they said is the trip was “successfully delivered”. I am so frustrated with their unempathetic customer attitude and poor service. So I decided to share my experience with the future cruisers about my bad experience as reference when choosing cruisers.

My two ladies could not stand long and had to suffer from a long queue with people elbowing and pushing each other, ending up mourning and almost falling sick when getting back to the cabin. Read more
