Misleading pricing and charged in USD without notice

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
AI Highlights
  • - Prices appeared in CAD from Canada; no clear USD charge.
  • - Charged in USD after booking, incurring currency conversion and a loss.

I booked a vacation package through CheapCaribbean from ***, and all prices appeared to be in CAD. There was no clear indication that I would be charged in USD.

After completing the booking, I was charged in USD, which significantly increased the total due to currency conversion. I contacted customer service multiple times and spent hours on the phone, but they refused to take responsibility and told me to contact the hotel, even though I booked directly through them.

This lack of transparency caused unexpected financial loss.

Loss:
$1333
Pros:
  • Booking process was simple
Cons:
  • Poor support
  • Misleading pricing
  • Unclear currency

Preferred solution: Full refund

User's recommendation: Be careful when booking. Make sure to confirm the currency before paying, as it may not be clearly disclosed.

Fraudulent online travel company

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
AI Highlights
  • - Paid $3260 for all-inclusive vacation packages.
  • - Frontier has no tickets or confirmation; tickets aren’t guaranteed.
  • - Customer service on hold for 2+ hours.

We paid $3260 for the all inclusive ( flights/hotel ) vacation packages. The airline company ( Frontier ) doesn't have any info that CheapCarribean ever ordered airline tickets ( a month a half after we paid online).

They explained that we're not getting a confirmation from Frontier since there are no tickets.

The CheapCarribean customer service is a joke - they keep you on hold for 2+ hours and then they are telling that your tickets are "not guaranteed ( ??!)" despite we paid $3260. CheapCarribean ruined our vacation and now we have to recover our money with our credit card issuer or approach a small court.

Outstanding Customer Service

AI Highlights
  • - Six hours on the phone yesterday about a reservation that failed.
  • - Debbie Strauss provided impeccable service; we have booked six vacations.

I had to contact customer service today because a reservation of ours would not go through. We spent six hours yesterday on the phone.

Someone canceled our reservation then today I called back and spoke to someone who was unwilling to help for over an hour. The gentleman transferred me to Debbie Strauss. She was absolutely phenomenal and even though our vacation was not able to be booked, she did an impeccable job. I was ready to walk away from cheap Caribbean.

We have booked six vacations in the last three years between either Apple or cheap Caribbean. I wish you had more customer service representatives that were like Debbie.

Preferred solution: Price reduction

User's recommendation: Most of the customer service representatives have a language barrier. However, Debbie was phenomenal and really willing to go the extra mile.

Contains 1 confidential file for company representatives

My issue revolves around a reservation I made for a recent trip, and the challenges I faced while trying to resolve it with the customer service team. I spent over

nine hours on the phone attempting to address the matter, which is an unacceptable amount of time for a customer to invest in resolving an issue.

What further

exacerbated my frustration was the lack of any call back as promised on more than one occasion or the resolution of Cheap Caribbean "purchased" the seats for

us. NO they reserved the seats we booked that we were unable to secure because of a mistake on their end!

Loss:
$450
Cons:
  • Horrible customer service zero management or chain of command

Preferred solution: Price reduction

User's recommendation: Go elsewhere!

Resort can't confirm reservation

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
AI Highlights
  • - Reservation not found at arrival; entry required confirmation number.
  • - Paid for 2 double beds but received a king; upgrade not realized.

We have booked several trips with Cheap Caribbean and have mostly been satisfied however this trip was girls trip and when we arrived to our resort they could not find our reservation, panic set in they would not allow us to enter the resort until they had our confirmation # so I could not call out on my phone until I registered there # again panic. Once I was able to get through to them the problem was solved however we paid for 2 double beds and got a king size supposed to be an upgrade for us it was not. We were just excited to get into the Resort

User's recommendation: Always confirm you reservations with the Resort days prior to arriving

Yalls website told me I needed a valid driver license/Id and so did the boarding pass for carnival cruise but they wouldn't let me on cruise ship without a birth certificate. Now I am being told I can't even get a refund.

I am so angry about this situation. I should get full refund I was forced not to get on the cruise ship cause I didn't have "proper" documentation.

Charged change fees for 4 people not 2. Land only

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
AI Highlights
  • - Moved dates Apr 21-24; 50$ per person change fee.
  • - Itinerary shows 25$ per person change fee; charged 4 people (100$).
Cheap Caribbean - Charged change fees for 4 people not 2. Land only
Cheap Caribbean - Charged change fees for 4 people not 2. Land only - Image 2

I booked a hotel stay last week in Mexico for next year, 7 days, starting April 21, 2024. We booked flights separately and I could not find any inbound flights to our destination on the date booked but found flights for April 24, 2024.

So, I wanted to bump the reservation from April 21 to April 24, everything else in the reservation remained the same. I was told that a simple 3 day date change for next year would be 50$ per person, 100$ for two people. I had to make the change. Got a new itinerary, which stated 25$ cancellation/change fee per person and charged me for 4 people in the reservation to bring the cost to 100$.

I called them asking why they charged me for 4 people and that the new booking itinerary sent said a 25$ change fee per person and that they listed 4 people on my reservation and charged me double.

I got no good explanation for this and was told it was an internal error in their system but the price was correct. And I should accept that why?

Loss:
$50

Horrible trip tulum

AI Highlights
  • - Customer service rep was nice and tried to help.
  • - We will not book again due to lack of outreach while abroad.

My customer service representative was very nice and understanding and I believe did all he could. However unfortunately cheap Caribbean still has not reached out in any way to resolve our issues while away on vacation In another country.

Unfortunately After being a repeat customer and using cheap Caribbean for the 3rd time, this will definitely be our last time to book a vacation with cheap Caribbean. :(

Refund

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
AI Highlights
  • - Trip canceled 8/18/2023 due to weather.
  • - Refund promised in 25 days; not received after a month.
  • - Cheap Caribbean delays refunds; charges interest.

My trip on 8/18/2023 to Dominican/ Punta Cana was cancelled due to bad weather. They told me it would take 25 days to get my money back and it's been over a month already still no funds back into my account..

Cheap Caribbean has been given me the round around and i'm just pissed that i'm paying interest on a credit card that cheap caribbean is holding my money on.

Based on this SOUR experience i would NEVER book again with them. They are eager to take your money but when it's time to give it back it's an issue.

Upset customer
