I have booked with the Cruise Specialists many times and have always been pleased with the service. Then I booked in July to go on a Celebrity Cruise in October. Despite calling the Cruise Specialists, I received an email from Thomson holidays and had to call a store in Scotland to discuss my booking. The phone rings endlessly without anyone picking up, then eventually, when someone does pick up they're so rushed with customers in their shop that they don't have the time to deal with me. I asked for 3 bookings (made together) to be linked so that our cabins would be allocated together as I am travelling with elderly parents. When I checked in online, our cabins are all over the ship - not together at all! Today I was ringing for about 3 minutes and then got cut off. When I rang back I got a girl from Foreign Exchange who had no clue how to help me and promised a colleague would call back. She was very polite and took the details but this is NOT the level of service I am used to receiving when dealing with the Cruise Specialists. Based on my most recent experience, I will NOT use Cruise Specialists again but will use a travel agent that has a dedicated Cruise resource and doesn't farm out my booking to a random branch that is too busy to help me. This is very disappointing as I have been a loyal customer for many years.

Hello Mrs Atherton, Thanks for your review. Just to explain, when we receive enquiries from customers or make bookings for customers, we handle all aspects of those reservations internally, through to a conclusion. We would never farm out our customers bookings or enquiries to anyone else. Please feel free to contact us at any time if you require further explanation.

We have enjoyed all the cruises your firm arranged for us; your Staff were most helpful and knowledgeable about the different lines and the discounts, that we were sometimes offered, were a strong inducement to use The Cruise Specialists.

Haven't used you for some time because from a price point of view you are no longer very competitive. I had excellent service from you in the past but you don't seem to offer any particularly attractive deals - especially to ex-customers. We cruise every year but in recent times have used other companies. John Farrer

It would be better if you used my correct initial . I have been very pleased with the service received , and the discounts obtained on our behalf. Should we decide to go on another river cruise, we will certainly ask you to arrange it for us

I have booked numerous RCI cruises over the years mainly with David Brown of The Cruise Specialists. I have found him to most helpful and informative with every enquiry I have made. He has a vast knowledge of cruising and of ships and he cascades this to his clients / customers. Having looked at High Street travel agents, I have found TCS offer a far better, unrushed and personalised service. 10 /10

We have always found Neil Adamson immensely helpful and a fountain of knowledge. He is a credit to your firm and should be acknowledged accordingly.
