American Queen Voyages takes forever with refunds!

Recommended Posts

If I could, I would give this company a negative rating! Do not give this cruise line your money! I was to be on a Mississippi river cruise last November so that I could take a cruise friends were going to be on. By the deadline for cancelling with a partial refund, I asked my travel agent to cancel so that I could get some much needed cash back. Little did I know that the company would hang onto my money for another four+ months. It turns out that the company (because of low Mississippi waters) had to cancel my friends' trip too. American Queen cancelled (note that the cruise line cancelled, not my friends) their trip in November 2022 and they STILL have not received  a refund as of the beginning of March,  even though their travel agent calls AQ every week. We are all very angry at this cruise line and will never consider signing up with them again.

To be fair, my friends and I finally did receive our refunds.  It took well over four months for both parties.  Don't believe it when they tell you "90 days."

Thanks...not surprising with what I have already gone through...even before the cruise.  😕

When you are told 90 days…they mean 90 business days!   As soon as I was told that, I filed a dispute through my credit card and received the credit right away.

LOL...and our rep does not work on Fridays (or Saturday or Sunday)....so those business days are probably a four day work week.  😮

Follow up to the promised refund at 90 days.  Surprise...surprise!!  We actually received it at exactly 90 days.  First time they actually did something they promised!

So glad you got your refund! Ridiculous that you had to wait so long, but better late than never.
