Before money changes hands
CruiseHuddle never handles cabin payments. Anything you pay a cabinmate is strictly between the two of you, and we have no way to recover it. If money is involved, use a reputable online escrow service and release it only once the booking is confirmed in your name.
Never send a deposit by bank transfer, wire, gift card, crypto or a cash app. Those payments cannot be reversed, and a request for one is the single most common sign of a scam.
Be wary of anyone who pushes you to carry on the conversation off CruiseHuddle, asks you to book or pay for their cabin, or will not get on a video call before you commit. Every cabin share has a report button -- using it is more useful than walking away quietly, because it protects the next person too.
