Janine saves the day !

Advisor Janine was absolutely superb when
(even after a few days of trying )
I just couldn't book transfers from ship to airport with Holland America
I found it absolutely impossible.

After phoning Janine
(who was very understanding of my plight)
it was soon sorted in a very friendly & professional manner .
Thank you Janine

My ‘Go to’ OTA for cruise holidays!

I have used Cruise nation around 8 or nine times now and you can’t beat them for value for money! We have a cruise booked for end of April to Japan (a 60th birthday treat). I wanted a different hotel in Tokyo and was in touch with Kimberley at Cruise Nation customer service. She honestly couldn’t do enough for me! She was extremely helpful and gave me a number of options to choose from. Within about 5 minutes I had the payment link and confirmation. Thanks so much!

Cruise Nation have been extremely…

Cruise Nation have been extremely helpful with any questions and queries that we have regarding our booking. Right from the word go, (October 2025) Charlene Joyce was very helpful when completing the actual booking as we required 2 cabins. Following this we were transferred to Kimberley in Customer Services (unfortunately don't have her surname), who has been most helpful with all my queries (of which there have been a few!) being very quick to answer and sorting anything which we have been unsure of.

I had been looking for a Virgin cruise on the interner.

What a treat to deal with someone professional 👌

What can I say Scott Martin is amazing he sorted out a great deal with Virgin.
I have done nearly 70 cruises I wish I had met Scott years ago.

Ryanair - cancelled our flight

Laura was our link on this occasion with Cruisenation

We had our flight cancelled - thought it was going to be a nightmare getting it changed etc - NO!
We called Cruisenation - spoke with Laura and we were sorted:
New flight
Hotel stay - due to the cancellation the next convenient flight was the following day - was arranged at a great price

I’m not easily impressed - on this occasion I was very much

Thanks Laura for your help and assistance- we really appreciate it
