Contacted Bolsover Cruise Club for a competitive price,

Contacted Bolsover Cruise Club for a price on a caribbean cruise i had seen advertised. I had a very friendly & helpful conversation with Chloe & a quotation was provided within 15 minutes. I had to discuss this with my family & was not pestered to make a final decision before confirming our acceptance after a couple of days.

very helpful and if they don't know the answer, will find out and ring you back

Also, I had to cancel my cruise earlier this year due to a broken wrist two days before travel and they quickly sorted everything their end, unlike the insurance people who took six weeks

We’ve given you 5 stars this time…

We’ve given you 5 stars this time because we were booking a cruise you as a company were really interested in our business. 12 months ago when we wanted to cancel certain cruises because of my cancer diagnosis and treatment, you were not very nice to me and treated me with total disrespect. What a difference two calls make - one when you’re having our money and the other when we tried to get our money back. You told us we didn’t have a chance of any sort of refund. We appealed to Paul Ludlow who was very kind and allowed us to keep our deposit, providing we booked a cruise within two years. This has given me the time to carry on with extensive treatment to which I am hopeful that I will be in remission.
Regards,
Mrs Jeanne Marie Stacey

I paid £80 per person to upgrade to what I believed as a better inside cabin shown in an email i received from your company only to be informed by a member of staff that all inside cabins were the same . I was quoted a charge of £49 per person for coach transfer to find out it was free. The charge of £30 per day for the internet is shocking . It was stated in my information package that we had free dining but was asked to pay a cover charge at all the restarants. we had to pay for coffee and cream in all the other lounges except the buffet. It was my first trip with P&O and I assure you it will be the last .

Very professional

Erin Williams was incredibly helpful and thorough in helping us to plan and book our cruise. She spent a considerable amount of time liaising with the cruise operator on our behalf, answered all our questions, and posed some that we hadn't considered. The process was clear and when we needed to make changes, the response was flexible and efficient. Superb and professional. Thank you.

Best booking experience

Ada was fantastic from start to finish, so friendly, knowledgeable and nothing was too much trouble for her. We asked her so many questions and even if she didn’t have the answer she found out and called us back.
Ada is truly a credit to your team and we hope she will get recognition for this.
Never before have we received such wonderful service.
Thank you so much Ada and Bolsover.
