We have just returned from our cruise and we had a wonderful time. I am writing to thank you for our gift of wine and chocolates, which was a lovely surprise and totally unexpected. Be under no illusion that tokens such as these go a long way with customers. I have booked in excess of 25 cruises over the last 10 years with various agents and never before have we received a gift.I can confirm that we will be booking our next cruise with you, as the service and the efficiency from start to finish was excellent and far more personalised than with anyone else we have booked through before.Even the email a couple of days before we sailed, reminding us what we need to take was a nice touch.
