Thanks,Phil, Nick, Cheryl and Mrs Miggins

Lets hope that Bonnie can indeed open up lines of communication that we are obviously failing to do. I was promised an email of our account last Tuesday and still no joy.

Would really like this resolved , as you say it really puts a dampener on the whole experience which is sad.

Anyway it’s good to have the support and experience of the stalwarts on this board.

Will post any updates, hopefully ASAP!
Thanks again

Vick

At one time any email to the UK personnel guaranteed an immediate response.  Not sure if that is the case any more.

I have one from early November not responded to but the event is now past

It seems you’re right, but it’s very surprising. In the past an email to Richard Twynam would have got a response within 24 hours.

There are lots of changes going on in Europe as far as Royal and subsidiaries are concerned.   They are closing the offices there. This must have an impact.

I am not sure if credit card companies are receiving too many disputes due to incorrect charges on Pursuit. My credit card company has declined a request from Azamara. After reading the experiences in this forum, I have decided yo settle my expenses in cash.

Not sure settling in cash will help.  They still have your credit card information from boarding so if they think they have found unpaid charges, they can still charge your card after the fact.   Perhaps you are thinking of not putting a credit card down on boarding and don't think that is feasible as they, if they will retain cash ask for a considerable amount of money to protect themselves.  YMMV.

Thanks for pointing this out. I will ask. I certainly do not want to have incorrect charges on my credit card. It happened to me some years ago with Azamara. It was US 5. I had written a letter that time to the LCV representative. It was after Nicole left. No answer whatsoever. Since it was just US 5, I did not follow it up. However it should not happen.

I agree, no fun chasing down a refund!

Is the email address you used Azamara customerserviceuk@azamara.com?

No Bonnie

I spoke via telephone to an operative named Candy, who told me to send my evidence to 

customerrelationsuk@rccl.com.

I also sent the same to Richard Twyman at

RTwynam@azamaraclubcruises.com

I’m sure just a typo here, but the email you said you used says twynam, not twyman

Another great reason to put erroneous charges in disputes with your credit card company.  With credit card disputes, the merchant has a set amount of time to respond and without a response or a late response, the credit card company will credit your account in full with no recourse to the merchant.  

 

You don't have this same protection when you work directly with the merchant.  The merchant can take as long as they want to respond or not respond at all and you will be obligated to the credit card company to pay the erroneous charge(s).

 

Always best to work directly with the merchant and at the same time put the charge(s) in dispute with the credit card company.

please read my original stating we could not put it into dispute because a full refund was made to our on board account but then 2 mystery drinks charges were added therefore only approx half the amount was refunded to our card after the drinks were taken off      impossible to put into dispute as far as i can see
