Flight Centre Cruise Debacle

Pity the ratings cannot be no stars! Booked a short MSC Christmas Cruise from Cape Town to Namibia way back in October. We were issued our cabin tickets and vouchers nearly three weeks ago, On inspection we had been allocated the wrong cabin as we had booked a Bella Oceanview and were allocated an obstructed Ocean view (a lifeboat!!!). We have been caught in a blame game between Flight Centre and MSC Cruiseline. But the bottomline is we have not received what was paid for nor new vouchers for a change of cabin. These vouchers are important as they need to placed on luggage and loading onto the ship. My question - three weeks have passed and two pensioners are beyond frustrated at the complete lack of service. Very hard to complain about the service when there is NONE. I travel rather extensively and this will be the first and last dealings I will have with Flight Centre Gqeberha. Never, ever again!

Reviewer Update
I received an email today from Flight Centre Walmer Park after another"nth" email was sent. The correct cabin has now been allocated. I await their contact to collect the new documents.
This has been an appaling experience and I seriously feel I would have done a better job booking the cruise myself.
