What service?
These people are hopeless. My cruise with HAL was cancelled due to the pandemic but have not received one phone call from Cruiseaway since then to offer any information or help what so ever. I did email them twice because trying to get through on the phone was hopeless and did receive (reply 1) advise that they would ring me within the following 4 - 5 days. No call!. (Reply 2) I was regaled with a cut and paste Options Invitation from HAL, which I had told them in the email that I already had and actioned. Since then I have tried on further...Read more
occasions to get through on the phone, but without any success. I have also requested a call back a number of times, which is offered on their website. Still no joy. I understand that Cruiseaway may be busy at this time, and that I am not the only one looking for answers, but a 2 month silence (so far) on the part is disgraceful. I will never use these people again and would not recommend them to anyone.Similar opinion? Write a review on ieatwords.com.au!

Cruiseaway slow in refunding deposits. Out of pocket for a holiday we didn't get to take.
We booked a holiday package including flights, a cruise and pre-and post cruise accommodation with Cruiseaway. Princess cancelled the Asian cruise for obvious reasons. We paid a deposit for the package some 7 months ago. Princess has been very good-they agreed to return the cruise deposit and have given us a 25% credit towards another cruise.
Cruiseaway has said it will take 12 weeks to pay us around $4300 in refundable costs! However, Cruiseaway advises that QANTAS flights are largely non-refundable and that pre and post accommodation co...Read more
sts of $800 in Hong Kong and Shanghai are like-wise non-refundable (We were not aware that this was the case in regard to the latter). So not only don't we get our holiday but we are out of pocket by around $1500 for services we did not receive

I booked in good faith, thinking the company would do their best for us - Wrong, wrong wrong.
No personal service at all once they had our money, you would think that the best available room would had been offered considering the advanced time we had booked
Very disappointed with this agency, booked our NZ cruise 9 months before sailing and were allotted the worst cabin on the ship. I booked an ocoeanview window but all we got was CABIN 702 with 2 portholes, size of soccer balls & where you had to climb on the bed to see out. Our cabin was as far forward as you could get & apart from sea days were awoken at 7am by the noise of either th...Read more

Don't waste your time or money
worst agency ever! First they organised travel insurance for my parents that didn't include the country they were actually travelling to. When their cruise was cancelled by princess cruises the agency took it upon themselves to cancel all the flights and accommodation without permission knowing there would be no compensation. My parents still could have used the original flights and accommodation that was booked. I'm only giving you one star because there's no option to give you none! Perhaps you should train your staff better so others don't lose more than 3k worth of holidays!
Don't bother booking through these scammers! All they do is steal your money!

Not well organised
We went to book a cruise late for a holiday and we made the booking and payment in a promotion period but cruse away didn't make it with P&O so we missed out on getting the promo nothing offered to us for this and we could not cancel due to paying in full

Would not use them again
The initial stages of the booking were perfect. I was making a booking on Carnival for 34 people to celebrate my partner's 60th birthday so to say cruiseaway were excited to get such a large booking is an understatement. That is where the great service ended. The consultant I was using (Jan) only worked a couple of days a week and was tardy at responding to emails and when invoices were sent, invariably they were always incorrect and had to be chased up and amended. Names were spelt wrong, fees that should have been refunded not done and deposits paid not taken from amount outstanding. Overall a stressful time. However, the cruise with Carnival was amazing.

In future, I will avoid Cruiseaway and book direct with Carnival
We have just experienced the same issues with Cruiseaway when booking a cruise. It would appear that after dealing with the initial excellent consultant the rest of the team lack attention to detail _ my name was spelt incorrectly, which is a problem for adding your passport details and then they emailed an incorrect final payment amount. Despite my request to speak to a manager as I had all my emails with the amounts, I received no call back.This potentially compromised our booking with the cruise company and caused quite a bit of angst.I had...Read more
made the final payment much earlier than the due date but it was not noticed by Cruiseaway that their amounts were incorrect. In future, we will book direct with the cruise line and avoid this company.Similar opinion? Write a review on ieatwords.com.au!
Excellent experience and help from Teresa
Really happy. Teresa asked a lot of questions and made sure the cruise fit our budget. I could really tell she cared about us and our family trip. No question was too hard. Will book again. Thank you.

Fantastic experience
I did not encounter any fees out of the ordinary, I made a few changes after booking and was happy with the outcome. This is my second cruise with Cruiseaway, the first experience was fantastic, very well organised, easy to talk to with great customer service. Very much looking forward to my cruise in the Baltic in May 2022.

So far mostly good
We chose Cruiseaway as they were advertising cabins on a cruise that the cruise line showed as sold out. There are 2 couples making bookings.
The initial approaches and explanations were all good, and a deposit paid on the understanding that a week later a 2nd payment be made.
The 2nd payment was made, and receipted. The only issue so far is that we were then told that there was an error in the value of the 2nd payment and further payment was required. We are now wondering if there will be any further unexpecteds.
As final payments are not due for another 2 months my experience is incomplete. On the initial dealings, and save the payment issue, they have been good so far.

Awesome experience and service
I would recommend Cassie @CruiseAway to book your next cruise holiday. She is really knowledgeable and helpful when we booked our cruise through her. She explained all the differences between the different cruise lines and managed to find us the perfect cruise and made the booking easy. She was also really responsive for my emails when I bombarded her with questions about the cruise and the travel insurance.

Excellent Service Cruise Away
So far, everything to do with the booking is fine. I have no complaints about Cruiseaway and have found them very easy to deal with and to come up with a better deal than I would have obtained dealing directly with the cruise loine.

Awesome cruise specialists
Tammy was amazing when booking our Mediterranean Cruise next year. She was very informative, easy to understand and very cooperative. What I was impressed with the most, was the competitive price and on board credits that she was able to organise for us this sealed the deal for us even when we approached another company they could not meet the deal. Well done Tammy and we definitely will be booking our next holiday with you.

Really work hard to make our cruise perfect for us
Melissa really went the extra distance to help design our perfect cruise to suit our family. With great knowledge of the destinations, vessel and what can be achieved, Mellissa ensured we have the best experience, not only on our dream holiday, but the process of booking it. She is so pleasant and professional, but really cares. Such a pleasure and we are very greatful. This is our second cruise and the original experience has been repeated.
