Really looking for an uncomplicated cruise to Honolulu departing Brisbane 18.45 on 4th April 2024. Not anywhere hairless but when I have finished reading the travel paperwork I maybe BALD after tearing all my hair out. Please , Please , Please condense your paperwork to no more than 4 or 5 pages. If you can not do it ask me for help and your travel information will save the world of hundreds of trees!!! Martin Walsh Mount Magnet Western Australia

Thanks to Luc and his very informative advice. He has set my mind at ease as I have had many sleepless nights worrying over obtaining visas for our cruise ship destinations. Appreciate the phone call and the conversation. Very relieved now.

Kangaroo Island Murray River Cruise. I filled out countless paperwork advising I was vegetarian however, every evening at dinner all other guests were offered a choice of two meals and I had to ask what I was having. One night I was served essentially a can of chickpeas with chopped capsicum covered in tomato paste and referred to as "Tagine" At the buffet I was offered a choice of either rice or potato wedges! the very last night of my trip I was asked what I could recommend for the chef to make. Many a night was a bread roll for dinner and if I didn't eat eggs for breakfast I would have starved. Final insult: I paid the single premium and was disgusted that on the last day of our trip we were taken off the boat and transported to the airport at 9am for a 5pm flight. All that money to sit in an airport all day is disgraceful!

Bkg reference HPL-17912 Brett and Jean Odgers from 8 to 20 September 2023 along coastal Queensland from Canberra and return.
We compliment you all with heartfelt thanks. The arrangements proceeded smoothly without any difficulties. Our expectations were exceeded.
We're in our 80s: our only caution was that our Port Douglas accommodation was a little hazardous for us. Villa San Michele is absolutely charming, central and comfortable and truly boutique; however, parking was difficult and negotiating the stairs in the narrow spaces was a bit daunting: there were numerous signs warning 'slippery when wet'.
Our experience was altogether fabulous, Cairns especially and ample opportunities to explore the Daintree.
Many thanks, Jean and Brett

We were booked into The Grand Palatino Hotel in Rome for a one night stopover at the end of our Cruise. My backpack which was right next to us, was stolen from the hotel foyer. The Hotel promised they would cover my losses through their insurance but 4 months later still have not been contacted. I lost laptops, jewellery and everything of value (approx. $20,000 worth of items). Spoilt our whole Holiday!!

Harrison, Alex and Kevin seem to be very busy apologising. The first two have apologised to me personally and even gave me $250 as compensation.
Why? How about being left waiting in JFK New York for a bus and company representative neither of which ever came.
Having recently completed a 3 Queens cruise with this company I would not - and you should not - have anything to do with them again. Incompetent, disorganised and deceptive fairly describes them. They made an expensive, upmarket trip of a lifetime a stressful and disappointing experience.

We had a wonderful time exploring the Italian Lakes with Imagine holidays.
We had a problem with our transfers.
We would like to thank Abigail for assisting us to book our transfers so promptly and so efficiently. Her communication was amazing.
Thank you to Alex for finally resolving the issue.
Much appreciated.

Have previously had with this company and was able to be in touch with the same agent. Provided answers to all my questions and helped with flights and accommodation requirements.

The sales representative Leah was extremely helpful. She explained everything very well. Within a few hours of booking we had receipts, confirmation and link to manage our booking.

Nathan was easy to deal with - he was able to answer all my questions and provided helpful advice.

Daniel McCormack was patient and helpful and answered all our questions.
However, we had to pay $100 extra each as the advertised price had changed the day before we rang to book. I was not happy about that. I felt it was false advertising.

Unfortunately we had a serious illness in the family that led to our decision to cancel our holiday 2 months from departure. It was not appropriate to leave the country at that time. As it was an emotionally based decision it was not covered under our insurance policy. I was prepared to lose 75% of the cost as per T&Cs. The customer service operator I spoke with at that time told me that I would not need to lose any money, provided that I transferred the booking to the same or similar holiday with a departure date within 12 months of the original. I was delighted to learn that! What I was not told was that the transfer needed to be made immediately. Despite my call and my understanding that I could change the holiday under the stipulated conditions, my original holiday booking was not removed from Imagine's records, and it therefore cost me $12,000 for not going! They did suggest I could transfer the booking to someone, which I tried to do unsuccessfully. I was prepared to pay for Imagine's costs incurred and acknowledge that they shouldn't be left out of pocket by my cancellation. What I objected to however, is that they were not willing to issue us with a substantial credit or refund from what would have been the profit earned on that booking. It was very difficult to access (virtually impossible) a senior manager or decision maker who I believed might be able to use their authority to provide a satisfactory outcome. In fact, it has taken months to hear from someone - and that was only because I chased it up. When I did speak to Shaun the Customer Support Manager today, he was absolutely unwilling to listen to me and just kept repeating that they would not be able to do anything. So now, because they showed zero compassion or willingness to think outside the parameters of their T&Cs and recognise that I am a long term customer with a lot of travel plans, they have now lost me for good and I will be sure to warn every single person I can about their lack of customer service. Instead of the $500 credit voucher that Simon eventually and begrudgingly offered to compensate, he could have recognised Imagine's share of the responsibility in this circumstance by providing a reasonable solution, and therefore have kept me and my wide circle of travelling friends as an ongoing customer.
