Brendan was recommended to me by one of his customers and I have to say he definitely is a great travel advisor he made the whole experience easy as he took care of everything. Definitely will be using his services again and I’ve recommended him to other friends.

This is my 3rd cruise booked with Brendan. Brendan is very knowledgeable with everything regarding cruising from the cruise company, ships, ports etc. He is extremely helpful and makes you feel at ease that everything is under control. Wouldn't book with anyone else!

As a 1st time customer, I can honestly say that Brendan O'Connor has taken care of ALL our travel arrangements for our upcoming flights and cruise. We are now 2 weeks out and he has got everything organized and no pressure on us (5), only to arrive and enjoy. Efficiency, speed of email replies etc etc, thank you Brendan and we will definitely be back in touch for future travel.

I have recently moved to Europe and connected with Brendan to get information on a cruise line credit. Brendan has been very responsive from the first contact, has been providing timely information on my chosen voyage and is on the lookout to get me the best pricing. I highly recommend his services as I believe communication is key when you are looking to book a cruise. Thanks and looking forward to future bookings!

Brendan’s knowledge of the cruise industry was amazing, we were booking a very special cruise for my father’s 90th birthday. He managed to get us balcony cabins next to each other, and thinking of my Dad’s mobility got our cabins next to the elevator. Thank you Brendan for a great job, really looking forward to our cruise.

This is the third time travelling with Hays Travel and my main reason is Brendan. He is fantastic at his job and goes above and beyond every time. I tell him what I want and he does everything from there. He is knowledgeable, patient and extremely efficient and I know there will be no stress from start to finish. His cruise knowledge is extensive and he has provided a lot of valuable information to ensure the price is competitive and the experience is seamless. An excellent asset to the Company. Thank you Brendan

I have booked a couple of cruises with Brendan and all I can say what a wonderful stress free experience. Brendan is a font of information and works very hard for you oh and is super patient😂. What a lovely friendly travel agent I would recommend him to anyone. All paperwork is sent which I love that old school attention to detail. The little things I don’t need to stress about because Brendan as it all in hand 👏👏👏👏

We talked by telephone. Brendan is very friendly and makes a person feel comfortable to ask questions. He takes a lot of time to cover every smallest detail about what is important to know. I have not been on a cruise before, and there were several things I had not liked about other cruise lines I was investigating and was reassured by Brendan that this line is different. So I found his communication to be most helpful, detailed, enjoyable and I look forward to my first cruise, a solo one.

There are no words to describe the level of service given by Brendan - he is truly outstanding! We are returning customers after having booking a few cruises with him! The level of knowledge he has and his understanding of customer needs is first class. Nothing is too much trouble (even after you have sent him the 100th email 🤣) - he is straight on the case! Excellent communicator and efficient consultant! Brendan ensures that holiday goals are met every time!
If you haven’t contacted Brendan for a quotation, you really are missing out!

Brendan was so helpful so easy to talk to helped me so much

Reply from Hays Travel - Brendan O'Connor
Absolutely fabulous service from Brendan! He goes the extra mile to make sure everything is perfect and you are comfortable and happy with what you are booking. This was our first cruise and the most money we have ever spent on a holiday so it was important that we had confidence in what we were booking - Brendan was excellent and I have recommended him and Hays to other friends. Thanks so much Brendan!

If you're looking to book a cruise Brendan is the person you need to speak to!
As a family of five I was slightly nervous about taking the first steps. I reached out to Brendan - he is really approachable and easy to communicate with. He provided me with different options and dealt quickly and efficiently with any queries I had. He really did go above and beyond. I've already recommended him to friends and they've booked through him and have had the same experience.
Speaking to Brendan takes the stress and hassle out of booking a cruise, all from the comfort of your sofa. Thanks Brendan!!

This guy knows exactly how to present customer service at it's VERY best! I have booked through Brendan in the past and having just booked another cruise with him I was delighted to find that the service is still excellent! Brendan is so knowledgeable, chatty and helpful, nothing is a bother and he has always gone above and beyond what I expected.......FAB-U-LOUS!
