that must be a joke, i am certainly not happy with the service. two days after booking a river cruise, receiving an email from the manging director with offers several hundred pounds cheaper than we paid just two days before, and when approached they refused a refund to cancel the cruise, very poor.service.

Dear Mr Phillips Firstly, I apologise for the time it has taken to reply. As a customer focused company feedback whether good or bad is extremely important to us, as it is only on the receipt of information such as this we can assess and improve the services that we offer. I am sorry that you are not happy with the service you have received and I apologise if after booking, a cheaper deal became available. We deal with fluid pricing in that any of our suppliers can change their offers at any time. I can however understand your frustration with the situation. I hope you have a lovely holiday, if you have any further queries please do not hesitate to get in touch. Yours Sincerely Customer Relations Department. River Voyages

Booking was fine, but I have had no written acknowledgement, either by post or e mail and am somewhat worried. EC I wish I knew, would have expected confirmation. EC Have now got got a pdf acknowledgement sometime later than booking

I still have unanswered queries, although getting many acknowledgement emails, no answers to my questions after 8 days.

The number of days advertised was 7 and the voyage turned out to be only 6, which was very poor. Simon did not seem to know that there were excursions incuded, but he sorted it out and was polite and patient.

Both the operatives I spoke to were easy to understand and courteous. The only query that I had was that the price shown 'on line' was lower than that given by the agent and as she stressed that this was the last cabin, I did not argue it further, lest we lost it.

We are disappointed that we still have not received any documentation. We booked last Friday. Patricia Wilson

I preferred to correspond via e mail. This seemed to be a problem for your call centre and I was constantly asked unnecessary questions about preferences when I had stated these facts in the very first enquiry via your web site contact form.

Dear Mrs Kirkup, thank you for your feedback. I have added your request on to your booking. I am sorry for any inconvenience caused. Kind Regards, Michelle Payton

The operator was very good and inspired me to book. However no deposit was taken from my credit card and my booking confirmation showed no money paid. After 8 days I telephoned as I was concerned my booking was not secure. I was informed by a different operator that they had computer problems. She took my deposit and said an amended booking confirmation would be with me that afternoon. Nothing happened for two days but I noted a deposit had gone onto my account. I therefore had to again ring to yet another operator who sent the confirmation as I was on the phone to her. Pretty poor that I as a customer should chase a company to take my money and get peace of mind.

Good Afternoon Mr Cooper I am extremely sorry that you have to chase us to make a payment on your river booking. I will look into the points raised. Please rest assured that this incident is very rare and I want to understand why this has happened. I hope you have a lovely holiday and thank you for your feedback. Lynsey Smith

Intially the service was very good and most helpful. Due to my error with the date of a future appointment I enquired if the departure date could be rearranged. I did not receive any reply. This has lead me to believe that the customer service is good until one has bookrd the holiday - after that don't expect any.

Initial impression good. I am still waiting for the Brochure after a week. Have booked a cabin but have not yet seen a deck plan. Veronica Pillinger

Overall I was quite satisfied using your company for the first time but found it a little strange. I was left with the impression that my contact Maura, was working independently of the River voyages office but the price she quoted was quite acceptable as were flight times. However when the confirmation was emailed to me from Riviera the costing given did not marry up with the price agreed. This necessitated some corrective email correspondence. I feel such basic discrepancies are unnecessary & unwarranted. The old adage "get it right first time" eliminates a lot of duplication and additional work. I would also appreciate being given a personal cruise reference number to quote for any contact with the booking company at a future date; this has been normal practice on very "deep sea" cruise we have undertaken. So I am left wondering, if required; should my first line of contact about our cruise be with River Voyages or Riviera

Dates on ATOL certificate were wrong. Hotel date in Prague was wrong. Was not offered gifts of £50 bar money on cruise or Magnum of champagne which were both in the brochure. I had to ask for them at a later date and then had to pay almost £30 as I was told this discount had been given me and I could not have both this and the offered gifts. Very disappointing. Other than the above, everything was good.

Can't give a review on online shopping as we arranged our holiday over the phone (but I had to press something)! However, I can say that the phone booking experience was excellent and the young lady I spoke to was extremely helpful and friendly. Unfortunately, the emails we have since received have been confusing and contradictory. I would much rather deal with pleasant people than frustrating machines any day!

A very good experience until it came to pay the deposit. The call centre op. at first said that the full price was payable immediately. When this was queried she said that the manager would give us a one week extension. After ringing emerald cruises and being told that the full amount was due on 23 January I got your call centre grudgingly to extend full payment deadline to 8 January. You must have serious cash flow problems to try this on with your customers. mike kelly

I had no idea I was talking to River Voyages, logged on to a Riviari Travel web site and was diverted to you. At no time during the first couple of discussions was your title given and only after querying why deposit was higher then RT quoted and date of final balance due did it click I was not booking directly with them. From then on doubt crept in, I was given wrong airport details, told departure was a Friday when it was a Monday , so not impressed at all. Yes Ryan corrected those details when pushed BUT I feel that I should have been advised who I was actually talking too at the very beginning. Subsequent calls again not answered as River Voyages...very very misleading.
