I purchased 2 pieces of artwork on a Celebrity Cruise in Nov 22 @ more than $20K AUS, I had no correspondence from Park West untill one of the pieces turned up without notice. The other one I am still waiting for nearly 6 months later! emails back and forth, but I don't believe they know where it is and certainly no good news yet!

4 months no art! Numerous calls!

Ripped us off on price of 2 Dali signed Purgatory prints bought in June 28 2010. The prints13 years later are still valued at fraction of what we paid for them. Scam pricing.

Just horrible. I bought a Nechita painting many years ago. Current day, trying to sell it. Come to find out that I cannot sell it without an addition number. There is no edition number on the art, the appraisal, nor the receipt. As I explained to the customer service agent, it is like selling a car without a clean tittle. I emailed customer service and their reply was that I could purchase a new appraisal from them for $35. Honestly, I wish I had never bought art on a cruise ship and especially from Park West…just horrible! Now I have to pursue this legally. What a pain.

Me & my wife was on the odyssey of the seas 12/09/2022 And purchased four paintings we have received three paintings and we are still trying to get our fourth it’s been seven months now and we are absolutely getting nowhere with park West customer services . Making our whole experience of buying art a absolute nightmare, This company are a absolute joke and we will be contacting our credit card company to try and get our money back which I doubt will never happen. All we get from park west is it’s going to be framed and sent out to us asap . Absolute lies

Be aware that Park West will expect you to wait for your "purchased" piece of art as long as they deem necessary. I called and spoke to customer service and they advised me my piece had arrived at their location in Miami and would be shipped and I should expect it in 2 weeks. When I called 2 weeks later, customer service had not received my piece and they had no idea when it might arrive. Of course, I had paid in full months before. When I stated that process was unfair and maybe I should just cancel my order, she stated I could not cancel. When I stated that maybe I should share my bad experience or speak to other passengers on cruise ships about Park West, she told me I could not do that and threatened to have me thrown out of the onboard gallery. Wow!! Gotta love art!!!

I like the art I have purchased in the past on cruises. I was invited to two land auctions last year and recently. The auctioneers were off putting. The British one at the recent auction was annoying. He talked too much and attempted to be a stand up comedian. Bad attempt. He went into a big shpeel about a “VIP” cruise he was on and how wonderful it was. Then very crassly said that only “collectors “ would be invited on VIP cruises. Ok, I get it.Then he said 6 people attending this auction Where I was present declared that 6 people there had not bought any art and would not be invited back. At least he didn’t call out their names. I know we were invited to purchase the art but his remark was distasteful. Another auctioneer introduced an art extravaganza of Peter Max. He implied that they are besties. Then he gave a brief autobiography of Peter Max’s life. He told he was born in Germany in 1938, and his family left when he was still a small child because they had to escape . He said that it was a dark time and he wasn’t going to go in to details. We approached him and asked him why he wouldn’t say that they were Jews and were escaping being murdered by Nazis. That circumstance was probably very influential in Peter Max’s life and art. He explained that he had been approached in the past by Germans who objected to his mention of Nazis killing of Jews causing Max’s family to flee to flee Germany. The whole weekend felt somewhat unsavory. They were auctioning masters, I.e. Rembrandt, Dali, etc. Didn’t seem legit. Aren’t the originals in the Louvre and other prestigious museums?

spend $50000 plus and received a wrong order ( I didn't accept it ) I guess these people will distroy the famous artists. anyway waiting to hear from them. stay tuned.
