I recently booked a short cruise
I recently booked a short cruise over the phone with an amazing travel rep Maxine, and I can’t recommend her enough! She truly listened to our needs, especially considering my daughter, who is an adult with special needs.
It’s a trail cruise to see if it suits us as a family.Maxine suggested the spa area as a quieter spot, which will be perfect if things get a bit too overwhelming. Her recommendations and insights were spot on, and she explained everything without any pressure.
Overall, it was a delightful experience, and I’m so grateful for her support. If you’re looking for someone who genuinely cares, I highly recommend her!

First class service
First class service. Maxine was amazing as always. Took on board everything we wanted and just sorted it. We had family members who have not cruised before and she talked them through it, leaving them at ease. For our next cruise we won’t go anywhere else but Maxine .
