Very impressed

published

We cannot speak highly enough of the efforts made by Imagine Cruising to get us back home after the unfortunate cancellation of our cruise. The Sydney staff were just amazing under very trying circumstances for them all in these uncertain times.

Non existent support and communication

published

Booked cruise on the Costa Mediterranea for Mauritius to Venice. We cancelled just before boarding after 3 days in Mauritius due to advice re covid 19 etc. E-mailed them twice for help but no response. In the end booked our own flights home. Received 2 replies to my email a week later at home! No refund referring us to Costa for a credit at the most. (Worth half the cost of the trip) not happy at all.

Deferment of April 2020 Italian Lakes tour

published

Getting information & action about the scheduled April 2020 tour of the Italian Lakes was a bit ‘rocky ‘ at the start, but I found once I made contact by email, staff were quick to respond and a satisfactory resolution has now been reached to defer this to 2021. Cameron & Katelyn were both v. professional. I did not incur any additional or unexpected fees.

Excellent Support in Troubled Times

published

Our Italian Lakes and Adriatic Cruise are impacted by COVID-19. Thankfully Katelyn from Imagine Rail Journeys and the Cruise Cafe reached out to us early and kept us informed of developments. Her calming communications were amazing. Cameron came onto the scene later to offer a genuine alternative for two keen travelers. Now Danielle is following through with meaningful plans for a trip in the future. COVID-19 may have disrupted our plans, but these wonderful people have minimized that impact greatly. To everyone at Imagine Rail Journeys and the Cruise Cafe - thank you.

Dealing with a cancelation - INdia Land Tour - by Vanessa

Vanessa understood our issue - many people and travel agents don't actually get what you are saying and then understand what you would like as an outcome - Vanessa does - very refreshing - have spoken to her a few times on a few issues - found her very helpful.

Very efficient and always completed the task/query to my complete satisfaction.

Our tour of India was cancelled mid trip and we were rerouted home. The airport rep at Delhi airport was very cool when the bookings made for our group had not been confirmed. That error was made by the Indian office and could have been avoided.

Good service under the circumstances.

In this terrible time of uncertainty Imagine Cruising have been as quick as they could be I'm sure in answering my concerns.
Still lots of worries ahead re refunds etc, but I am confident that it will work out reasonably well.

All good
Looking forward to the journey and Perth yes and visiting family after tour. Booking efficient and responses to enquires ok. Would have liked to be rebooked flight home as not part of 8 days as we are staying an extra 6 days with family and unaware of any discount.

Cancelled Costa Mediterranea Cruise

published

On cancellation of our Cruise on Coast Mediterranea I sent a mail to your Customer Service Team as required. Regrettably my mail server was not downloading the Teams responses in Mauritius. I rang the Emergency number and the officers I dealt with were very helpful and professional. very commendable in sorting out my problem. in a very stressful time. Thank you

Assisted with questions

published

A full Ghan trip with accommodation in Darwin/ Alice/ Adelaide. We haven't gone yet so are unable to actually comment on the value or deal. At this stage with NT going into lockdown am not sure whether the actual trip will continue, but that is up to any changes in current situation.

An unfortunate set of circumstances.

published

The handling by the staff at Imagine has been pretty good but the outcome has been less than satisfactory.
I can only assume that my request to cancel the hotel & flight bookings has been acted upon but I have no evidence to that effect. This is hardly acceptable.
We booked a total Perth-Perth package including the hotels in Sydney & London, the cruise & the flights from Heathrow-Perth but on reflection, in future, I will arrange accommodation independently because it is far easier to cancel it closer to the date & still receive a refund.
I am very disappointed with the outcome.

Hi, as our travel departure date is 13/5/2020, we still have not received any communication from Imagine Cruising and we are starting to feel a little unsettled and anxious, we can appreciate that you’re very busy getting existing travellers home safely, but a short note keeping us informed would give us a feeling of maybe wanting to travel with you in the future.. we’d like to know if our options (once the logistics team finally is in touch with us), gives us the opportunity to take a refund and not be forced to take‘cruise credits’, there’s 6 travellers in our group so you can appreciate there’s a considerable amount of money tied up with your company

Dear Cheryl,
We were on the Vasco Da Gama where the Cruise was cancelled 6 days after departure. We were returned to Perth. CMV has promised a full refund to be paid through Imagine Cruising. Our experience with Imagine Cruising prior to the cruise was one where we had to chase them for information. However, when we did they always got back to us. Nevertheless, from the cruise, through our quarantine in Perth and finally, our flight back to NSW Imagine Cruising kept us up to date and worked very hard to support our repatriation. We were very impressed with this. I would advise that you keep contacting them to ensure that your cruise is, indeed, happening.

Hi Martin, our flights from Brisbane have been cancelled and NCL have suspended all cruises until July, so I’m fairly sure we’re not going anywhere, my issue is we’ll be forced to take cruise credits and not given the option for a full refund
