Excellent service

Our aim was to book the package for the rugby league extravaganza in Las Vegas in Feb 27 on a one-way flight basis and then spend time touring and returning home from another part of the States. Amy Williams was our travel consultant and she had this all sorted in about half an hour. Amazing!! I have never used Destinology before but will certainly use them again. Highly recommended.

Second booking in a year with Destinology

I have made two bookings with Destinology within the last 7 months. Without any doubt, there isn’t any other travel operator I would recommend over them.

Claire Shorrock was my travel advisor, who was brilliant from start to finish. She remained patient with me throughout the booking process and provided tremendous advice. She dealt with every request I had promptly and efficiently. I was really impressed with her service.

Emma O’Reilly was fantastic

Emma O’Reilly was fantastic. She really listened to what we were looking for and found us what looks like a gorgeous holiday, all within our budget.

The only thing I would suggest for the overall service is the option to accept American Express payments, as this would have made the booking process even smoother.

Overall, a 5-star experience and a big thank you to Emma for her help.

I requested a quote for a specific cruise that was advertised. Caroline kindly obliged but I then realised that the date was unsuitable. I requested a quote for a later date and found it satisfactory and she called back for me to make the booking.
At the beginning of our call it was not mentioned that the cruise we requested was no longer available. Caroline did reel off the ports of call but didn’t specifically say that this was not the original itinerary that I had requested.
It was not until I had paid the deposit and enquired about the times onshore at each port that it came to my attention that the two main ports of interest were no longer on this itinerary, in fact it was a completely different cruise.
I am very disappointed, and made Caroline aware. She offered £100 compensation, which I accepted as could not find another holiday in our time frame.
This cruise is still showing as being available on both the Destinology and Explorer Journeys website.
I find this poor customer support and will definitely think twice before recommending Destinology to friends and family

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We are sorry to hear of your disappointment regarding your cruise booking experience.

During the booking call, our agent did read through the full itinerary for the sailing confirmed at the time of booking. As discussed, cruise lines can amend itineraries and sailings in response to current events and operational considerations, including those affecting the Middle East region.

We appreciate that the change to the ports of call was upsetting, particularly as these were destinations you were looking forward to visiting. We are pleased we were able to offer a gesture of goodwill, however we understand this did not fully resolve your concerns.

If you would like to discuss this matter further, please contact our Customer Relations team at customerrelations@destinology.co.uk and a member of the team will be happy to assist you further.
