Fantastic experience: Great trip, Catherine was very helpful working with a group and all their needs.

Lynn Collura 3 weeks ago

Fantastic experience: A group of us used Cruises International for a Greek Isles cruise last year. Catherine Simpson was our agent and she booked and handled all the details of our vacation. We flew into Rome and stayed for a 3 day land excursion and then onto the ship for the cruise. Everything went perfectly. She is in the process of booking an Alaskan cruise next year for a group and I am sure it will be as memorable as the last one.

Fantastic experience: I am writing this review to express my gratitude for the exceptional service I received from Catherine Simpson at Cruises International. My family and I were planning our first cruise with a group of 14 people, and I had extensively researched various options for the best deals on cruises. After much consideration, I chose to work with Cruises International and specifically with Catherine, and it turned out to be an excellent decision. From the very beginning of our interactions, Catherine was incredibly attentive, patient, and honest. She took the time to address all my concerns and questions, ensuring that I felt completely informed and confident about our upcoming cruise experience. Her calm and patient demeanor made the entire process stress-free, and her honesty instilled a high level of trust in her recommendations. Catherine went above and beyond to ensure that every detail of our cruise was taken care of. She provided comprehensive assistance from day one, making sure that we had everything we needed for our first family cruise. Her dedication to providing a five-star service was evident throughout our interactions, and it truly made a significant difference in our overall experience. I am so impressed with the level of service provided by Catherine that I have been recommending Cruises International to all my friends, specifically highlighting the exceptional assistance offered by Catherine. I want others to experience the same outstanding service that I received, and I am confident that anyone who chooses to work with Catherine at Cruises International will have a truly memorable cruise experience. In conclusion, if you are considering a cruise, I highly recommend reaching out to Cruises International and specifically requesting to work with Catherine. Her professionalism, attention to detail, and commitment to providing exceptional service ensure that your cruise experience will be nothing short of extraordinary.

Negative experience: I would have liked to have worked with someone from here. I sent 2 emails before anyone responded. Sheryl responded and set up a phone call for this past Monday (11/20) at 11am. Unfortunately, I'm still waiting for the call. Disappointed

Sue H Romano 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: So grateful for Cruise International for honoring my girlfriend & my canceled trip after covid.. Now we are given our credits & we are going transatlantic this April. I have booked with Cruise International a number of times .. they always take care of my requests & it is great to have great customer care & someone specific to call if there are any complications. I highly would book with them versus booking online.

Fantastic experience: Michelle Mason is awesome. Cruises International is the BEST. You can’t go wrong booking with them. While you travel you’ve got them in your pocket.

Carolyn Hegg 2 years ago

Negative experience: Very disappointed in the service or should I say non-servise I received. Both Cate and Bonnie didn't call back when they said they would. It took many phone calls to finally get answers to my questions. I will not use this business again!

Lillian Hallberg 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: Update on October 23, 2022. We live in Boston and continue to arrange all our cruises with CI. That tells you in a nutshell how very pleased we are with their service. Under unforeseen circumstances, our regular CI agent could no longer handle our account. Bonnie Green stepped in seamlessly, added us to what I’m certain was already a full client list, and helped us through a future cruise credit situation. She answered all our questions via both email and phone calls (remember, we live in Boston), and even steered us toward an excellent cabin in a need-to-be-quick situation. Her voice and emails exhibit what I’m certain is a smile in person. We couldn’t be happier with Cruises International’s excellent, patient, and friendly service! An additional call-out to Sheri McGowan who handles all the accounting, and payment scheduling. I can’t imagine the patience and expertise needed in calculating so many future cruise credits and payment schedule changes during the pandemic. She is fantastic! PREViOUS REViEW: Can’t speak highly enough about Cruises International!!! In these pandemic times, with cruises cancelled and having to work with rebooking, refunds and/or future cruise credits, Linda Halpern has been on top of it all and superb to work with. We were first introduced to Cruises International in 2012 when visiting relatives in the Chicago area. We live in Boston.Here we are nine years and many cruises later, still living in Boston, and still relying on Cruises International for all our ocean and river cruise vacations. Why look for a travel agent closer to home when you’re already working with the best?!

Fantastic experience: I have booked several trips with this company and I'll book several more I'm sure! They will do a much or as little as you'd like them too ( such as a Disney experience). They get every little detail taken care of, add helpful hints or give you an added bit of experience advice or just answer any and all questions you may have. I have not one complaint and I'd highly recommend them whether booking an international cruise or a trip to Universal or Disney!

Trudi and company take care of everything, use their knowledge to your benefit, reply to questions quickly, and look for opportunities to save you money. For example, if a drink package price has been lowered the folks at Cruises International will work to get you the savings. This travel company comes highly recommended.

Fantastic experience: Our consultant, Kathy B., is terrific. She listens to our thoughts and desires and plans trips around them, fitting in everything we want at reasonable costs, then goes beyond finding other things she feels we might like and offers those options to us as well. She is readily available for questions and eager to share her knowledge and insights on various destinations and offers many travel tips as well. She always has our “best interests” at the heart of all her planning.

mary minehart 5 years ago

Fantastic experience: When a last minute trip to Texas was required due to family illness,, we reached out to Mary Clegg to help us with our flight and rental car plans since we needed to leave in just 2 days. And this was during the quarantine. Mary did an outstanding job finding airfare and a rental care for a better price than anything we saw. What a relief that was, taking that off of our plate and putting our travel plans in her capable hands. I can't say enough about her level of customer service! She even followed up with us after the trip to make sure it went smoothly and to see how our relative's health was doing. Very sweet and caring for sure and we all need more of that during these uncertain times. I highly recommend Mary Clegg for any of your travel needs!

Susan Puhawan 5 years ago

Fantastic experience: I love dealing with my Travel Advisor , Kerry Langland, of Cruises International. She has a lot of Patience and Knowledge on any subject you ask her about Cruising. Although I haven’t met her yet in person, I could see that she is very Professional while handling her customers. Every time I ask her a question, she gets back to me with an answer whenever she has time. We always choose Royal Caribbean Lines every time our family go on a cruise. I love their big Ships. There’s so much thing to do on Board. This should have been only our 4th time cruising with the RCL but we’re looking forward for more RCL Cruises in the future and definitely with Kerry Langland as our Travel Advisor.

Ron Lansdown 5 years ago

Fantastic experience: We have used Cruises international for over 20 years and always been pleased. Our agent, Kim Perry, is wonderful! She finds us the best deals, gives good advise and checks from time to time to see if we can get a lower price. I don't know what I would have done without her during this pandemic! She took care of everything! The small fee that she charges is so worth it!!

William H 5 years ago

Fantastic experience: We have been have been using Cruises International since 1995 for our cruise vacations and have booked 32 cruises through them. They have taken excellent care of my wife and I and some of our friends and relatives. We have been using Kim Perry as consultant for many years now and she has been excellent. I know she has our best interests in mind and we always get a great value for our cruise vacations and know everything is taken care of for a no problem vacation. Rite now with Covid-19 we have had to go through the process of changing cruises that had been cancelled and Kim has taken us through the process and made everything so easy like she always does. We have 5 cruises booked rite now and we know Cruises International and Kim have everything taken care of. If you are looking for great land or sea vacations contact them, you will be happy you did.

A Newman 5 years ago

Fantastic experience: We have been using them for 19 years and couldn't ask for friendlier, professional folks. No matter who you get on the phone, they are willing to help. Today my TA pulled off a miracle on a cruise that was cancelled because of the COVID19. So many others said it couldn't be done, moving it to 2021. But not only did Ms. Kathy B do it, she did it and it didn't cost us any more money! I do a lot of self arranging, flights, hotels & excursions, but I am so glad Cruises International was handling my cruise. I'm sure I would not been able to pull this off, but because she knew the rules in the small print,she was able to make it happen. Yes I'm sad we won't cruise to Hawaii in September, but now I have May 2021 to look forward to thanks to Kathy B. Now, back to my happy dance! :)

Rob D 5 years ago

Fantastic experience: We are working with Cruises International on our 2nd cruise since they did a fantastic job for us a few years ago on our first cruise. This time around it's been invaluable to work with Josie through the COVID-19 cancellations. She's been super responsive, even though she's busy with all the cancellations, and she's continued working hard to exceed our expectations and handle everything so we don't have to. They have far exceeded my expectations!!

Positive experience: Very welcoming company. Since we have yet to go on trip, I cannot confirm nor deny overall service.

Barry Emmons 5 years ago

Fantastic experience: We have used them for one huge Mediterranean cruise and for help organizing a trip to London. Both times they were very helpful with suggestions and recommendations for sights, vendors and even had a handout from an agent who just went to London with handy tips. They were able to find flights we couldn't find and for better times than we could get on our own. For the cruise, they gave us some perks we couldn't get on own own so the small booking fee was more they offset. We will not hesitate to go back for the next big trip.

James William 5 years ago

Fantastic experience: We used Cruises International for our recent cruise to South America. We couldn’t have been more pleased. Lisa Brodien was our advisor. Very professional and got us the very best deals. We got cruise discounts, flight options and discounts, and even great excursion options that we could not get anywhere else. I highly recommend Cruises International.
