Jill, was very experienced and had great knowledge of the cruises and also the island where we want to stay and looking forward to planning the further part of our holiday with her as hotels and flights are not around yet and looking forward to sailing with Explora journeys which we have now booked a cruise on as before talking with Jill I knew nothing on this cruise line. I have been cruising for over 30 years and will definitely use Panache for booking future cruises.
We booked our first river cruise through Panache. We have always been independent travellers in the past (now in our 70s) and have never used any agent before. I am very impressed with the way the company goes the extra mile to keep the customer happy. I had lots of silly questions before our first cruise but they were answered patiently and thoroughly. Having a 'cruise connoisseur' at the end of the phone 7 days a week provides an extra layer of security. The specialist cruises that the company offer to existing customers look like the icing on the cake and are seriously tempting. Lots of added value plus cost saving is a winning combination for us.
Nicole Barrett was super helpful and we were able to get everything we wanted for our forthcoming trip. Nicole was just brilliant in sorting all of our arrangements, really professional and couldn't do enough.
We’ve got as far as the booking stage so far, and with the help of Jack this has been easy. He was very helpful and knowledgeable and we are really looking forward to our cruise.
Great company to deal with, Nicole is very personable, knowledgable and has made the whole process very easy. I would definitely recommend her and will be asking for her help again with my next cruise.
The 5 stars are for cruise connoisseur Charlene.
Our first booking via Panache had a shaky start. We had little confidence in the cruise connoisseur, who was not very pro-active or responsive to questions. Halfway through she left the company, so that probably tells a story!
Charlene took over and from then on everything went smoothly. So much so, that we have just booked our second Azamara cruise with Charlene and she has again been very efficient, listened to and acted on all our requests, made suggestions re airport transfers etc and replied to all emails speedily and efficiently. Would definitely recommend.
