I was interested in going on a cruise…

I was interested in going on a cruise and I enquired about a few options. Brendan was most helpful in helping me choose one that suited me perfectly at a price that I was very pleased with (something that the several Travel Agency outlets that I had tried just recently had not been able to offer at a price acceptable to me). More than that, Brendan arranged direct flights from Belfast - which would otherwise have been a deal breaker, advised me on, and arranged, a discounted drinks package, provided me with the sailing itinerary, explained the payment terms, advised that I will need to get Cruise travel Insurance insurance, emailed me documentation and ATOL certificate. He made the whole booking process trouble free and straightforward for me being and answered all my questions (first-time cruiser). First rate service, Brendan will be my "go to" consultant for future cruises.

Just back from a fantastic 9 night…

Just back from a fantastic 9 night cruise in Italy and France. This was my first cruise so was not sure how to book, what to book, and even where to go. Brendan took care of everything, he was so helpful and reassuring, made the whole process so easy and never failed to answer any queries I had before the trip. I would definitely recommend Brendan for any travel needs. I look forward
to using Brendan again for future trips.

CRUISE ENQUIRY

Everything from my initial enquiry with another rep and then my final booking with Brendan who I follow on FB and who has helped me in the past but at that time I was unable to book. I found Brendan so helpful and he took the pressure off me making sure I got what was appearing to be the last room that was suitable.

Personal Travel Consultant Brendan O'Connor(Hays)

Have recently booked a first P&O Cruise for 2 people and another package holiday to Tenerife through Brendan O'Connor travel consultant Hays Travel. Brendan made us feel so comfortable and trusting. He was so efficient and quick with providing all the information and prices and deadlines for both holidays, we were all in agreement we would consult Brendan again. He was upbeat and so pleasant. Can't wait to go on both these holidays. Many thanks
