I've been waiting for a delivery from Dufry duty free since June 6th. I emailed today, and the thing they sent was returned (despite my confirming the address). They're resending today. It's not exclusive to NCL. Stephen . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are not talking about the occassional snafu with delivery of our mail. We are talking about customer service. One of our roll call members has had NCL admit that twice they have sent out a check for her with the wrong address on the label, despite their having her correct address on file. Taking the experiences of our roll call as a whole, it is pretty easy to see what kind of Corporate customer service NCL finds acceptable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dexddd Posted July 21, 2016 #56 Share Posted July 21, 2016 Hang in there Vic. We finally got our check this week. I mailed in the form the last week of March right after our trip. First I heard was May 24 that it had been approved and sent to Accounting for payment. Check was dated 7/13, postmarked 7/14, and arrived 7/19. Overall, about 15 weeks.

Responder Posted July 21, 2016 #57 Share Posted July 21, 2016 I sent in my request on June 20 2106. Immediately got a scripted response that I will receive my refund in 15 business days from receipt of my request. Nothing yet of course. I tried calling what they call customer support numerous times and sat on hold forever listening to crappy music along with commercials and apologies. We all know the drill. I emailed them indicating that I am in the process of calling my credit card company along with showing them a copy of the refund promise and I will ask them to reverse the charges for that portion of the charge. If they will only do the entire amount, too bad for NCL. They can then bill me for the balance. NCL is a piece of work..what they call customer service is an oxymoron.

NCL's standing response when filing claims is: Your form was submitted successfully, please allow 15 business days for a response. Norwegian Cruise Line Guest Relations Note that says response, not refund. You can expect the refund in 15 weeks, as others have noted.

Hello Freckles! Enjoying the warm weather? Yup! Still waiting! NCL Guest Services told me Friday that, if requested, they would 'stop payment' on the cheque and have it re-issued. Told them to 'hang loose'. I'll wait another week before going that route...and the beat goes on... Thanks also to Dexddd. Happy that your cheque finally arrived...

bostonfred Posted July 26, 2016 #64 Share Posted July 26, 2016 Not to go into a long story, but I had an issue with shore excursion change and was entitled to a refund of difference in price in my opinion. The new policy is the onboard staff have no discretion in these matters. I had to contact corporate. I did they agreed to create mt credit card in April...still waiting..new strategy is to make things difficult until people give up.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If in writing, send that to your credit card company, and they may follow up for you. Good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have an NCL Alaska cruise booked for next summer but we are going to cancel it and give NCL a rest for a while. Although we like their 'at sea' performance, the 'back room, customer service and admin' shore support leaves a lot to be desired especially after the post PoA situation. Take care. Enjoy your cruises... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NHL Philly Fan Posted August 7, 2016 #72 Share Posted August 7, 2016 NCL - What he/she said!! We have pretty much the same background but not quite as many trips on NCL and are Platinum. We had 2 payments due us from this trip. One took around 8 weeks. 2nd is now over 3 months waiting after getting notice May 24 that the 2nd payment had been approved and sent to "Accounting" for payment. My guess is NCL is holding cash for the quarter just ended for their benefit but pixxing people off. What is a he/she? Why do you think the OP is transgender?
