The Cruise Specialists have been making us happy for many years! The service and advice received is always first class. I thoroughly recommend them to anyone who is considering booking a cruise. Kirsten has just assisted us with our next cruise to Boston, New England and Canada on board Celebrity Summit. She has been exceptional in putting together the various elements, flights, transfers, pre cruise stay in Boston and in securing a stateroom in our preferred Aqua Class, when at one time it seemed that there was no availability. Waste no time and book your cruise with The Cruise Specialists…

We have booked our all our cruises and land holidays with the Cruise Specialist for a number of years. I have to say we have NEVER been disappointed. They really do deliver. They are quick to respond and the knowledge, efficiency, politeness and willingness to get the best possible price is second to none. A special mention to our consultant Aileen Robertson is paramount. She is always ready with a friendly chat and over the years I like to think we have become friends. She too was the only one to sort out our completed cancelled covid cruises efficiently and organised all our refunds. Nothing is too much trouble for her and I would give her 6 stars if that was possible. Thank you

Our Consultant was Ailenn Munro/Robertson. She provided us with a really good deal for the whole cruise and holiday experience. She was always available via email to answer any questions or deal with any issues. She always responded very quickly and always resolved our question. Even when we see on the actual holiday. She was always very trustworthy, Polite, courteous, friendly, helpful and knowledgeable . The quality of everything she booked was first rate. I would definitely use the company and Aileen again. A great experience from start to finish. We didn’t have to worry about anything.

Prompt response and a genuine effort made to get me the best possible price. I have used the cruise Specialists many times and their service is always good. Before Covid I dealt with the same lady for ten years and booked over thirty cruises.

After receiving a very aggressive and threatening email on the 1.8.22 (Despite multiple balance reminders, we have yet to receive the balance of your forthcoming cruise. As the cancellation charges are due to rise soon, and in order to avoid you becoming liable for these higher costs, should we not have received your balance by close of business on Monday 8th August we will have no alternative but to cancel your cruise at loss of deposit.) We will not be booking with the Cruise Specialist again. We have booked at least 30 cruises with the Cruise Specialist but this email was uncalled for as we have never been late paying for a cruise and only received 1 email from the cruise specialist and this was more than 12 weeks before we were due to go on our cruise that we had already paid in full the remainder was for flights and drinks package that we had booked after our original booking. We do not know who sent the email as it only said after sales.

Dear Helen, We were very alarmed to read your review, and certainly would not want anyone to feel threatened as that would never be our intention. After some investigation, I can see that a member of our After Sales Team did immediately email to apologise, and we would like to reiterate this apology to you now. I do see that the email was sent to you due to the balance not being received by the due date of the 25th of July 2022. Once we pass the due date to us and approach a week before cancellation charges are due to rise, we do have a duty to make our customers aware of our procedures, and we do need to give plenty of notice to allow our customers time should they wish to amend. We always value feedback, whether it be positive or negative to allow us to grow, and we do hope this goes some way to explaining the reasoning behind the email. We will take your feedback on board and revisit the wording of our emails.

This has to be a 5 star rating so far. Tried calling other cruise companies no reply or in a queue. Set up a meeting with Tui waste of time. Rang The Cruise Specialists. To my surprise the phone was answered almost immediately spoke to Stuart knew exactly what I wanted Stuart was very knowledgeable explained everything to me in clear terms. This cruise was to mark a special occasion for my whole family, I now feel confident things will go well. Definitely back to this company for future cruises. Peter
