I purchased a trip to Cancun through cheap Caribbean.com on 03/15/19 And I wanted to ensure if anything happened and I needed to cancel I could. so I put travel protection on the trip through the cheap Caribbean as well. I read the travel protection on the cheap Caribbean website through my email when the confirmation was sent.it stated the enhanced travel protection includes cancel for any reason.which can reimburse up to 75% of non-refundable trip costs if I have to cancel. unfortunately, I did end up having to cancel my trip because my friend I was traveling with could no longer go with me for legal reasons. so I called *** travel protection agency to cancel.they told me I had to call the flight & hotel .etc and tell them to cancel.so I called *** airlines to cancel.they canceled it but said I had to pay a cancellation fee of $50 per person. and they said I would have a credit for future flights until a certain date. then the cheap Caribbean was notified about flight cancellation and emailed me. so I called them explained why. The person said I should have not canceled the flight my self but to do it through them even tho *** travel protection agency told me to. BUt helped me cancel the rest of the trip. so I called the travel protection agency back told them I canceled and I put in a claim to be reimbursed. They denied my claim stating I could be reimbursed if there was hijacking, sickness/health issue, natural disaster, etc. But I stated what my email said that I could cancel for any reason and my reason was a legal matter with a traveling partner, And I canceled several months in advance. so I got credit from the cheap Caribbean when I asked for it. but when asked how much the credit was they said $60 & I said where the rest went? cause the down payment was $1297.17 they said most went to flight. *** flights would not tell me the credit and said to call the agency back. so I have been going back and forth looking for answers and no one is telling me, I have been stressed.

In review:
In this case the client has filed a claim with ***. We have been informed as of March 3rd the client had received a check from *** in the amount of $395.92 and cashed on March 4th. This refund was reflected of one passenger for the land and air purchase. Since the client filed and received reimbursement from *** the client would no longer hold an Airline or CheapCaribbean.com future credit with CheapCaribbean.com.
As each passenger holds a separate policy, per *** the second passenger on this reservation has not filed a claim for reimbursement. They would need to contact *** to begin the process. As far as the amounts issued this would be determined by the policy provision under the terms of the insurance policy purchased. As we do not own the company the client would need to contact *** to answer all questions or concerns in which they may have.

Suite *** Kansas City, Missouri ***
RE: Appeal for Cancel for Any Reason – Claim ID #***
To: Revdex.com
I am filing this compliant against ***. because of the false advertisement as they stated in their advertisement ANY REASON to cancel your trip. My wife and I paid for a vacation package through Cheap Caribbean.com, to Dominican beach Punta Cana. We also decided to purchase insurance to protect the trip just in case we would have to cancel our trip for any reason. After we paid for our vacation trip, we received our confirmation package. We didn’t know there was provision clause in the contract until after we received the confirmation package and we filed this claim for a refund. There were some provision clauses what it meant by any reason. We called *** and we were told to look at our contract it will be there. We notice on the confirmation Cheap Caribbean.com booking page 4/7 which says Travel Protection and on page 6/7. We were not aware of these other provision clauses before we received the contract, it was after we paid for the trip is when we received the confirmation traveling package and read what they meant by Any Reason.
This is total theft by deception from Cheap Caribbean.com and ***. These companies should have been open, clear and honest before allowing us or anyone to book vacation trips on their web-site. The purpose for this insurance is to protect the consumer and to assure they are not going to be ripped off by having provision clauses in a contract. I don’t understand how they think they should keep our money without service or give a full refund or full credit. Who gives $1,500.00 dollars without any services?
Cheap Caribbean.com stated on their web site they do not give refunds we didn’t see this on their web-site and may be true, but we did not get this information until after we purchase the trip. Cheap Caribbean.com must make people aware before they purchase their trip they don’t give refund. *** should be clear about their definition of Any Reason.
If *** would have been honest and explained further the provisions clauses and stipulations in this contract, we would not have purchased insurance from ***, but purchase insurance from another company.
When we booked our vacation trip on Cheap Caribbean.com web-site, a link to *** popped up recommending we purchase the insurance protect from ***. It is apparent they use this company all the time because it is attached to their Web-site. When we called Cheap Caribbean.com for a refund they told us to call ***. *** told us to call Cheap Caribbean.com. We kept getting the run around but we continued to call and finally *** told us to go to their Web-site to fill out a claim report for the reason why we should get a refund for cancelling our trip. We down loaded the forms and submitted them to ***.
After completing the form, we submitted the paper work to ***. An agent at *** said they have to review the claim and they would get back with a determination letter. She told us there were certain things *** do not cover in canceling trips and we needed to look in our package and see what *** pay and don’t pay. She also told us we can track the status of our claim on *** web-site for the determination of our claim. See below what was in our letter and contact.
We read through Cheap Caribbean.com confirmation package and the definition for Any Reason there. They stated several different reasons why the trip cancellation for any reason.
Do we have laws against false advertising, defrauding the public, along with misconception? *** looked for reasons not to pay. Once they find out your reason, they used it against you not to pay the claim.
When we got to the airport we were not allowed to board the plane because the lady at the counter stated “we had to be there three (3) prior to boarding for international flights and we were not allowed to print any boarding passes. While we were in the airport we could hear them calling our names over PA system to board the plane because they were prepared to close the doors.
Saturday, the day of the trip we try to call Cheap Caribbean.com to tell them what happen, but was unable to get in contact with the company. On Monday we tried to call them several times to let them know what had happen to our trip. After a few calls we finally reached Cheap CariRevdex.comean.com. I spoke with the rep name Lill’s and she informed me they do give refunds, and asked if I had the *** insurance phone number, I should call them to file a claim. I asked Lill’s did they have on their web site they do not give refund. She stated, “yes”, it is there on the Web site. I said to her I didn’t know that if I would have known they didn’t give refund I wouldn’t have booked anything with them.
My question is, does this give *** a right not to pay our claim or Cheap Caribben.com not to give us a refund? Do this give them the right to take our money, unheard of in American? If they don’t want to give us a full refund we should have the option to get full credit for the money we paid for this trip. There is nothing on their Web-site or in our confirmation package saying we cannot receive a full credit for our money.
I’m hoping you can help us resolve this matter getting a full refund or full credit so we can take our trip this coming year. The trip cost us one thousand four hundred and fifty dollars and forty one cents ($1,450.41).
Best regards

Complaint: ***
I am rejecting this response because: We feel that nothing was resolved. How could Cheap Caribbean state that they: "provide the best service and they hope that they will give us another opportunity to prove this" when they are unwilling to work with us. Nothing was proven. The "Aim to Please" is a false statement. How can we give Cheap Caribbean another chance? How can Cheap Caribbean make this right? This is appalling and no one should be able to keep someone's money especially when it was not our fault. Cheap Caribbean does not have our interest at heart. Thank you for your time.
Regards
I can tell you this much. I've had the worst booking with cheapcaribbean. I booked a trip to Jamaica I paid up for a deluxe hotel room and instead I was thrown into a standard room. The resort where I stayed did not fix the issue. After my trip I followed up cheapcaribbean and all I got was nothing in any form or reimbursement for a trip I overpaid.
My room had roaches and I was right next to a construction site with noise from the crack of dawn. when I asked why I didn't get my deluxe room I was told to talk to my booking company and to this moment all I've heard is crickets.
I took pictures of this and I'll be more than willing to share the gospel, thank you cheapcaribbean for nothing but a miserable stay in Jamaica.
Worst part of all of this is there hasn't been genuine apology, just some copy paste statement they sent me in an email.
I booked my vacation to Costa Rica about 2 months ago for my family and I for my birthday in April. rely on travel agencies like Cheap Caribbean to provide a seamless process and peace of mind as my husband and I are very busy with work and have little time to plan our vacations. On April 20th we departed to our destination and arrived at *** Costa Rica. When we approached a taxi to drive us to our resort we were surprised to learn it was 4.5 hours away. I was upset and shocked that they would even offer this option without disclosing to consumers especially learning there was an airport 30 minutes away from my resort. After having traveled 5 hours on a plane with 3 children under 10 my youngest under 2 it was absolute torture to be subjected to this. Not to mention I will be losing 2 days of my trip due to the extended travel and the cost for my transport which was almost 500.00. Upon my arrival to my resort I contacted Cheap Caribbean and was basically told there was nothing they could do and I would have to purchase new tickets totaling 4000. I tried to contact United and although they could’ve assist me they tried to provide me with different options and empathized with my situation. Ultimately I was redirected back to Cheap Caribbean but advised to speak to a supervisor. I contacted them again and spoke to someone who actually seemed interested in helping me and said he would escalate to his supervisor who would call me early on April 23rd. I waited for hours and received no calls which I found to be so disrespectful as a manager in customer service I expect for you to at least keep your word. Around 2pm a so-called supervisor called me back and basically just told me there was nothing they could do and if I wanted to fly through the closer airport I’d have to purchase new tickets. No apologies or any regard to how I was feeling. I’m truly disappointed and will never book travel with them again. Consumers should be disclosed the distance of the airport and requesting confirmation.

I booked a resort at CheapCaribbean.com on 7/17/2018 and paid a deposit of $270.12. In the confirmation email, there is NO mention of no-refund policy. On 12/5, I found the resort's own website offered a price that was $100 less per night. I called to cancel and was told I would not get any money back. I disputed the charge with my credit card company. Afterwards, I was approached by the company and they offered a credit minus a $100 cancellation fee that I could use on my upcoming trip to Mexico at the end of the year. I was a little hesitant because I don't travel to Caribbean every year. I was assured there was plenty of time to use the credit on the trip since it was still almost a month away. I am a reasonable person and some cancellation fee was acceptable. So I accepted and cancelled the dispute. The charge of $270.12 was rebilled on 12/9. Then the nightmare began. I kept calling and calling. No credit was issued to me. Every time it was a different story. 'We are waiting for a letter from your credit card company.' 'It's between the banks and it takes time to process.' I called them every day until 12/21. I don't want to upset myself about this during the holiday season. I contacted them again on 4/16 asking about the credit. I was told the credit was issued on 12/7.
Up to today, I still didn't get any notification about this credit. What is the amount? How can I use it? Is it there any restriction of using the credit? NOTHING.
If the credit indeed was issued on 12/7, I could have used it on my trip and I would not have to call them 10 times in December.
I contacted my credit card company again. They said they only had 180 days to dispute a charge. Now that window has passed and there is nothing they could do. They also commented that they had seen such scheme before.

I have booked my vacation through this agency and upon arrival to the *** Hotel, I was plagued by many issues which affected my "vacation." I was first sent to a room that was occupied, then after 30-45 minutes of wait time got sent to a dirty room, with an empty minibar. The room and the building itself seemed to be falling apart. I told the hotel that I wanted another room, since I bought a VIP all inclusive package, and they told me there was nothing they could do. Then off and on, I did not have hot water, which finally turned into a whole day of not having hot water. Then around Sunday into Monday, I did not have AC in my room. It was 25 degrees C. I waited for maintenance in the room, because they kept saying they are coming, and kept calling guest services, and there was no help. Finally when they came, they said that they would fix it by the evening, and when I came back, it was still broken. I ended up sleeping on the patio because it was cooler outside than inside. There were many other issues that I do not have room listing here, but overall, the way this resort was presented does not match reality. The hotel refused to reimburse any of my funds and informed me that I have to do it through the agency I booked. I exchanged emails with customer service, and they told me that the hotel told them the same thing, and that they know this was not what I wanted to hear and wished me a safe flight home. I requested to be reimbursed, because for one, the hotel and the services that were promised were not matched. I am not unreasonable, and I can understand things going bad, but the lack of care is astounding. Who is there to protect the customer? I chose Cheap Caribbean, I paid my fees and I expected service, and at the same time, if the product does not match what was advertised, then logic and good business practice dictates to try and provide great customer service. It is sad when I have to ask for justice in this manner.

My friend's and I have booked many vacations with this company. I never had any issues in the past till know. Unfortunately the resort we stayed at was awful. The place was Beautiful but the service was terrible. They charged us an additional fee of $9 for each phone for Wi-Fi when the advertising said it was free. The food was horrible. We checked in on a Tuesday and Wednesday morning our toilet overflowed with poop all over the floor. My roommate stomach was hurting due to the food she ate the night before. It took them sometime to send up the plummer. Then after he came we had to wait for house keeping to clean the floor. Then had to wait for the laundry person to bring us clean towels just so we can take a shower. Which in all took up to 1 hour and 40 minutes. Then they expected a tip. We both ended up leaving for the day and sent the night with friends and family. When returning Thursday night we tried to eat at a restaurant but was told we had to make reservations through the front desk. Which by then nothing was available. So we had to leave the resort again for dinner.I never returned to the resort. I ended up staying at *** hotel. I only stayed 1 night at the ***.We called and put in complaints with Cheapcaribbean and also I complain to *** at Guest services. Saturday morning we brought fruits and special items to bring back home with us and left them in the freezer we left them and stayed the night in Kingston Saturday just to come back to find out the stock boy never closed the fridge. All our stuff was ruined because it got spoiled. This time we went downstairs to complain once again to Guest services. Can you believe they had the nerve to charge us an extra $25 for late check out. I will never in my life stay at this place.

Complaint: ***
I am rejecting this response because: I have booked with Cheapcaribbean many of time's. This is the first time I ever complained about a Hotel. It's not my fault the hotel never responded back to them about my complaints. How do you think customers feel when they are over seas out of the country and are not getting the services they paid for? I do see the break down of the price. It comes to 1,597 per person and you indicate $243 per night. But yet I only stayed there for 1 night. So I believe I am entitled to more than $250 credit.
Regards
I booked my trip roughly about 2 weeks ago it was my 5th time using Cheap Caribbean because I have had nothing but good things to say about them but while booking this vacation I ended up paying $2,100 for a 5 night stay at the Barcelo Maya Beach & Caribe for my Fiancee and I. Looking on the website today 3-28-19, I am able to book the same vacation, same stay with all the things I wanted prior for $1,400.. What a big difference, this is complete *** and have never had this happen before..I then decided to call in to Support and see if they can assist me and tell me why two weeks later it changed by that drastic amount and she said "Considering it's not within a 24 hour time span I am unable to do anything for you" I am absolutely enraged. This will be my LAST vacation with Cheap Caribbean as the price difference is that different and someone unable to do anything. I understand process and protocol but ***. Help me out a little bit here. How frustrating. I will make sure everyone I know does not choose Cheap Caribbean as their vacation planning website. Complete
I would leave zero stars if it were an option. Booked an all inclusive stay then arrived at the resort to find out all inclusive was not applied to our room. We called cheap carribean and after twenty five minutes of waiting we were told that there was a problem with their website. Cheap carribean refused to take ownership of this problem. Never again will I use cheap carribean nor will I ever recommend them. This company is an absolute scam and should be shut down.
I purchased a vacation that cost 2300dollars over the phone with this buisness I needed to cancel my trip and expected a refund I was than told no refund and I would be given a credit of 1200 the rest of my money went to canceled airline tickets I reached out to agent who booked my trip explaining to her she never told me it was mo cash refundable she sent me an email stating she was sorry and thought she explained all of that to me o would have been okay with them taking some type of payment to cancel my vacation but they took all 2300 dollars of my tax money saying I have a future credit of 1200 that I can use but when I do I still need to p.o at for airline tickets it can not be used with the credit I have all my tax money lost they didn't even try to work with me the lady who canceled my trip was rude and did not give me any more options I think it's so unfair of them to take all my money my anniversary is ruined thanks to them

I went on a vacation to the *** and booked through Cheapcaribbean. During the first full day of my vacation, I had obtained a deep cut on my foot in the pool at the resort. There must have been glass or something sharp at the bottom of the pool. A life guard had put alcohol on the wound then gave me a band-aid. It hurt a lot, but I was hoping to feel better the next day. I limped around for a full day and then went to bed. The next day, I woke up in more pain and I limped to the front desk where the front desk told me to see a life guard. After finding a life guard he once again just put a new band aid on. I wasn't getting the medical attention needed. I went back to my room and I began to fear infection or worse. I quickly called a taxi and then booked a flight home to get proper medical attention. Once home, I contacted Cheapcaribbean to see if I could be refunded for my trip. They told me they are not liable for anything since it is the resort who is at fault and will not give me any refund. Seems Cheapcaribbean is there for a profit, but not accountability. I reached out to the resort which hasn't responded to any of my attempts and I reached out to Cheapcaribbean informing them I cannot get in contact with the resort, but they ignored me as well. I am requesting only a refund for my portion of the trip ($1,000) plus the taxi and flight ($503). Total $1,503. This is my second time scheduling through CheapCaribbean and I enjoy your services! My friends stayed at the resort the entire time and had a great experience which is why I am only requesting a refund for my portion of the trip and expenses incurred. I have pictures to prove the injury if that is needed and I am still currently limping around. I really appreciate any help in this matter. As I said I am not looking for anything more besides a refund and coverage for the expenses incurred as I did not even enjoy a full day of the 5 day vacation I paid for!
We have careful reviewed the clients reservation:
The client contacted us on 3/19/19 at which time we forwarded the client concerns on to the resort. After further review the resort contact on 4/06/19 to advise of an offer of a 2-night refund.

We booked an anniversary vacation through this company earlier this year. After arriving at the property in Playa del Carmen Mexico, we were told we didnt have a reservation. After 1.5 hours of arguing with the night manager they gave us a room. It was in a different building and not a swim out room, which is the reason we picked this resort. I requested to be reimbursed for two nights from Cheap Caribbean and they continually blamed the resort and told me to take it up with them. I never dealt with the resort, on purpose, and used the services of Cheap Caribbean. I have used their company many times in the past and couldnt believe how they have handled the situation. Yes, we stayed at the resort for the rest of the trip but it wasnt a swim out next to the main pool like we booked. We feel that a reimbursement for 2 of the 4 nights is more than fair for both parties. Since the error was more than likely the resorts, I feel CC should get all of their money back since their *** was on file with the resort. All in all, a terrible experience that lacked any help from the company I hired to book a 15th anniversary trip. They did offer a $300 voucher but unless we work on a reimbursement, we will not be using their services again.

I always have used Cheap Caribbean and have never had any issues. This last trip will be my last with the company. I booked a 6 day trip to the Dominican Republic and somehow their website defaulted my flight leaving a day early. Why would I pay for a night in a resort, but leave that day? Customer Service was a disaster. At this point, for me to change my flight to the next day, it was going to cost $850 (added onto the $2500 I’ve already paid). It was a website issue. It wasn’t a user error. Never again will I use this company.
I would like to make a formal complaint. I called Cheap Caribbean to inquire about a vacation for 8 people in Mexico. I first talked to Lynette and when I was ready to book I called her on 3/1/2019. She started to book and after receiving all the info stayed oops we waited so long and now the prices for the airlines have gone up. I said she cancel it because it sounded shady. She said change your dates to 5/21 and the prices go down. I said I would call her back. I called Paul about 30 mins later and he gave me the lower price took all the names and reserved the airline tickets(something Lynette could of done but did not) so Paul puts me on hold for 5 minutes comes back to finish the booking and says oh have to call you back because the *** has taking the hotels off line. (Really) he says your plain tickets won’t change and I will call you back when they come back on line. Now mind you my price from Baltimore was 717 and my friends from Boston 846.00 . I get a call within 40 minutes and he starts booking the hotel. After booking the first ticket says oops the hotel went up and now the total is 901 from Boston and from Baltimore that price has gone up too. ( I’m not stupid . This is clearly a tactic to suck more money out of your customers) Paul says oh you now get 1500 in resort credits but I don’t see that in my papers . Clearly this is a tactic that your reps have perfected but is so unethical and I wonder how many customers have fallen for this. I am requesting that you do the honorable thing and refund all 8 tickets the amount we were over charged. I also booked the tickets and he puts the itinerary in my sisters name. SHAMEFUL just SHAMEFUL. ***. I can be reached via email

Complaint: ***
I am rejecting this response because:
there was no lounge but there sure was a club house that was right in front of my room which was advertised on there website which I payed for to have access too.Also I payed for four people to have a seat on the plane which that was not the case.also no extra dinners was given.I see they took down there advertisement as they should.Nothing extra was given to me.I had a infestation of sand fleas in my room ..No one came or called to see if anything was OK. No letter was sent under my door . I repeatedly reach out to cheap Caribbean no one respond back to me ..I go to d.r the last 11years and never spend more than $2500 why I pay over my budget for a remote side of the island if I wasn't receiving VIP anything or a seat on the plane.they robbed me in the open I was stressed out the whole time.No one tried to call me or fix it it was like oh well we already got your money.

I had an amazing trip in Jamaica thanks to CheapCarribean!! I’m such a procrastinator and failed to booked my honeymoon after a wedding of 300 guests. I literally booked my trip from Memphis, TN to Jamaica is less than 48 hours. Our flight arrangements and everything we’re in tact. Thank you for helping make what could have been a tragedy a delight. I never had to speak to a representative, I just followed my itinerary. Not to many travel agents can book an out of country trip in less than 24 hours without any hiccups along the way. Wedding was on a Saturday, I booked our flight on a Monday and departed on Tuesday. Thanks again! I will definitely be using you in the future and I highly recommend.
Booked our honeymoon trip with Cheap Caribbean. We hadn't booked with them before so read a ton of reviews to ensure that they were a legit company and we would not be scammed. After saving up, we decided to go with Deal of Fortune where you don't know what hotel you will be at until a week before. This decision was made very carefully. I went through every "5 sun" option listed to ensure that no matter what hotel we got, we would be thrilled. I even took screenshots and read reviews for every single hotel to know what to expect. Cheap Caribbean explicitly states that it will be one of their "5 sun" resorts. This morning we got our reservation confirmation for an old and dated hotel that was never listed. I immediately called and explained to them the situation. After 30 minutes on hold, the women came back on the line, rudely said that she thought the hotel was more than acceptable and that we would have to pay an additional $668 on top of what we had already paid to get in to any other hotel. When I asked to speak with a manager she told me they only have one manager and that she hasn't been taking calls today. I asked when I could expect a phone call and she continued to be rude and was unable to provide any kind of a response other than 24 hours -- we are supposed to leave Saturday. We are extremely upset, feel blindsided and would absolutely NOT recommend anyone book with Cheap Caribbean.
I booked a trip July 26, 2018 via your website with an agent by the name of Donna Gi*** I made my payments and adhered to all of the policy rules. I had no problem checking in at the ***. However, my mother and father in law's reservation was not entered correctly per the results of an investigation and battle with the hotel. It was determined that cheapcarribean.com did not send the reservation in correctly. As a result, we had to spend two nights at the *** which did not have an ocean view and a sewer smell throughout the stay during our August 15th vacation. To make matters worst, the two hotels and cheap carribean.com each blamed one another. After several months, *** has resolved what they deem as their ownership. However, I am writing based on the fact that cheapcarribean.com should own some of this mistake.

Canceled cruise November 9th. I am due to a refund of $200. They took $100 for cancellation fee but has not refunded the $200 payment I made. Called numerous times and was told that it was processed in the 9th so I should have already received refund. I told customers service that I receive alerts when there is a deposit or draft out of my account. I would have noticed it, I even checked my bank statements and there is nothing from cheap Caribbean. The cancellation was nov 9th. I waited the 7-10 business days and this has exceeded the time I should have expected refund

If the client has not yet heard from them she may contact the cruise department directly at: for further assistance.
Good Afternoon
I am writing this email to express my dissatisfaction with booking my trip with cheap Caribbean. As a concerned customer I reached out to Ryan M in effort to get better customer service with my planning and after speaking to HIM it has not changed. He instructed someone from his team to reach out to me and when he was asked to give me a call I never received it. He also informed me that he would give me a discount I sent a follow up email to that representative explaining to him that I was still waiting on his call and till this day neither him or you have reached out to me. today I called again and asked to speak to a representative and got in touch with Madalyn S who I have dealt with in the past and did not appreciate her tone with me at all. she forced me to explain to her what happened with my previous representative and I expressed that I rather speak to a supervisor and not her. She informed that her supervisor Linda C told her that she wouldn't be able to accommodate me until I was ready to book.
After our review of our phone records we see that we have been assisting the client over several months in attempt to book her a vacation to the Caribbean. It appears that we have been in constant contact with the client, consistent in pricing and offering in the best packages available at the time of her call. The client has received multiple quotes also by email for consideration.
Most recently the client inquired if a further discount was an option when booking. The agent then spoke to her supervisor. The agent then relayed to the client that we would certainly do our best but was not able at that time to promise a dollar amount. The client then later emailed the agent stating she only wanted to book with one of two agents.
On Sunday December 9th we contacted the client and left the client a voice message to contact us at her earliest convenience for further assistance.
To date is does not appear that the client has booked a reservation.
We certainly welcome the client to contact us at their convenience if further assistance is needed to review package options and pricing on our website. Once again, we reiterate our sincere apologizes for any difficulties the client may have felt she encountered with our services. Our aim is always to provide the best service to our client and the best pricing. We do hope that the client will give us an opportunity to prove this in the near future when booking their trip to the Caribbean.

Complaint: ***
I am rejecting this response because:
I was not assisted still and the response that I was receiving from the manager was not to my liking and my email was left without getting a response till this day. As a manager I should not be ignored under any circumstances
