“My family bought the vouchers to go to Dream Cruise on 15-17 Dec 2021. I’m here to inform everyone what I’ve gone through with 40 over emails with Klook in the last 2 months:
We bought the vouchers on 9-Sep-2021.
In October I contacted Klook if I can add my daughter who has just completed her vaccination to our cruise. Klook gave me a link to pay S$399.
I waited for 4-5 weeks, in between following up with 10 over emails with Klook. Finally Klook auto refunded me the S$399 and said my daughter cannot be added because our 3-pax cabin is already 3-pax full.
I explained to Klook that the only reason I made the payment was because Klook’s staff understand that I have another cabin which currently has only 2 pax, therefore can add my daughter in.
Klook then apologised and asked me to make payment 1 more time, but this time round, I need to pay S$405 (I didn’t ask why).
I then waited another 3-4 weeks and since our cruise is 15th Dec, I got worried and decided to follow up with Klook more intensively on 6-8 Dec.
Klook finally reverted on 9-Dec informing me CRUISE IS FULL, CANNOT ADD MY DAUGHTER.
I decided to give up this long battle of email correspondences, explaining myself and making sense of what’s going on. I replied Klook “please refund me the S$405”.
I was shocked to receive below reply from Klook:

Klook made me pay S$399, took me for a ride, rejected me, refunded me S$399. Then realised they shouldn’t have refunded me, asked me to pay S$405, took me for another ride, then finally rejected me again. This time round, NO REFUND!

“I've found Klook.com accidentally while planning for activities for a vacation trip to South Korea. Even thought I've never heard of the site, I decided to give it a try. I enjoyed how simple it was to make a reservation for a WiFi egg through the site.
Once I arrived in South Korea and got the egg, I was pleasantly surprised. Coming all the way from the other side of the world and having such a thing taken care of in less than 5 minutes over the internet felt great.
I've since bought several other tickets for places I wanted to see using the site. Not only did all the reservations work flawlessly, most of them were also bought at a discount compared to tickets bought directly at the places I wanted to see.
Klook.com also provides users with a sort of fidelity point system. If you leave reviews of your experiences in their site, they reward you with discount points you can use towards your next purchases. Overall, the site works great and I will be re-using it the next time I go on vacation.”
