A good experience

I booked a Carnival Cruise through this company, my first cruise with carnival. Everything went like clockwork and I had a great time. Customer support via Josephine Scott was good and the booking went without issues

I am very disappointed with the service…

I am very disappointed with the service I received from Cruise Deals NZ, especially from my travel consultant, Shelley Knight.
Booking the cruise was easy, but the real test of customer service comes when something goes wrong. Our Princess Cruise was shortened by one day due to a cyclone. After the cruise, on 11 May, Shelley promised to contact the cruise line on our behalf and get back to us with information. Unfortunately, she never responded. Despite waiting for weeks and following up, we received no assistance and no communication.
A good travel agent should support their clients before, during, and after their trip. Instead, I felt completely ignored once the booking had been completed.
This experience has been extremely disappointing and unprofessional. Because of the lack of customer service and communication, I will not use Cruise Deals NZ again and cannot recommend their services.
I hope the management takes customer feedback seriously and improves the level of after-sales support provided to future clients.

Hi Maryna,

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback, and firstly, we would like to sincerely apologise for the lack of follow-up from our team after your post-cruise enquiry in May.

After receiving your email, Shelley submitted the relevant information to Princess Cruises on your behalf. We were not aware until today that you had not received a response from Princess, and we acknowledge that we should have followed up with you to ensure they had responded, rather than assuming this had happened. We understand how frustrating a lack of communication would have been, and for that we sincerely apologise.

Since becoming aware of the situation today, we have proactively reached out to other guests who were on the same sailing to see if anyone had retained the letter issued onboard. Thankfully, we were able to obtain a copy, which Shelley has now forwarded to you.

Our understanding is that this is the official communication provided to affected guests outlining the options that were available during the voyage, and we hope it assists with the documentation you were seeking.

Once again, please accept our sincere apologies for the lack of follow-up. We appreciate you bringing this to our attention, as feedback like yours helps us improve our processes and the service we provide to our clients.

Kind regards,
Cruise Deals

Our experience of our trip was ruined…

Our experience of our trip was ruined by Chinese Airlines. don't ever go with them. we flew 4 times with them throughout our trip and each time, they mucked up. They were gruff at customs, and spoke in Chinese to us with a very bad unprofessional manner. Very bad customer service. We never got things back that we had put in cargo ie: Backpack, raincoat, seat cushion, which were all attached to my wheelchair. Lost property was contacted and they just said they've gone. Not good enough. The rest of the cruise was wonderful. Really enjoyed everything else. Go direct if you can when flying. It took us 32 hours when we left the boat to get home. SO jet-lag has become quite a factor.

Hi Jen,

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We're very sorry to hear about the difficulties you experienced with China Southern Airlines, particularly regarding your wheelchair accessories and the customer service you received during your journey. We understand how frustrating and disappointing this must have been, especially after what was otherwise a wonderful cruise holiday.

While the airline experience was outside of our control, Shelley did everything possible to assist by providing lost property contacts, relevant information, and guidance on the next steps available to you. We will also be sharing your feedback with the airline, as the level of service you describe is not what any traveller should expect.

We're pleased to hear you thoroughly enjoyed the cruise itself and appreciate your kind comments about that part of your holiday. Thank you for travelling with us, and we hope to have the opportunity to help you plan another memorable cruise in the future.

This was my first Cruise

This was my first Cruise. I was saddened by how much alcohol was encouraged to be bought and consumed and as we had quite a few days at sea this was heightened.
I didn’t really know what to expect and wish that I had booked a Cruise with more Island or port visits.
I was aware of the long hours that the staff work and no days off. It saddened me also.
My friend and I had did have fun and thoroughly enjoyed the 4 others that we dined with each evening. The 3 Island visits were magic.
I met a young woman who was so seasick she had to pay over a thousand dollars for anti nausea treatment. I know we have Travel Insurance but it put me off going to the Medical Centre when I got a UTI. Fortunately I had medication that helped immensely. A kit of ‘in case’ some medical issue arises would be vital information for all going on a Cruise and especially Anti nausea medication.

Hi Sue,
Thank you so much for sharing your detailed feedback — and I’m really pleased to hear you still had some enjoyable moments, especially the island visits and dining experiences.
We completely understand your comments around the balance of sea days, onboard culture, and medical preparedness. For first-time cruisers in particular, these are important considerations, and your suggestion around bringing a basic “just in case” medical kit (especially for seasickness) is a great one that will be helpful to other travellers reading this.
At Cruise Deals, we always aim to match our customers with the right itinerary and cruise line based on their preferences — including factors like port intensity vs sea days — so they can get the most out of their experience.
I just wanted to check, Sue — did you happen to book this cruise through us directly? We’d love to better understand your booking experience (and if there’s anything we could’ve done to better support you beforehand).
Thanks again for taking the time to share your experience — we truly appreciate it.

A new experience.

We have travelled quite a bit but have always visited a Travel Agency, this is our first experience of dealing with an agent by telephone and I admit to initially being a little apprehensive. As it turned out our travel was 100% trouble free and as planned, the agent we were dealing with totally exceeded our expectations, we made changes to our booking but absolutely nothing was too great an issue.

Noordam Ak to Sydney

Shelley arranged a NZ Ak to Sydney cruise for us. Everything worked out according to the plan and we loved our first cruise. Accommodation in Sydney was lovely and the breakfast was the best. Shelley made sure we met any deadlines and made the whole process very easy. Thank you so much Shelley and Cruise Deals.

5 stars out of 5 stars

We want to say a huge thank you to Jo at Cruise Deals NZ. She has gone above and beyond for our group of 12, who are going on the Disney Cruise. We needed x5 staterooms and she managed to get us all close together, and we even got on-board credit, which was fabulous. Her communication was prompt and informative, with everything we needed to know. We can't recommend her enough, and look forward to future dealings with her 😊⭐

Outstanding service

Outstanding service by the lovely Shelley Knight from Cruise Deals . The Cruise well exceeded our expectations in every way and was such a fabulous ship ,the accomodation booked in New York was fantastic as the location was perfect as in Barcelona and all flights great too. Booking through Cruise Deals is the way to go as they source the very best deals but don’t skimp on quality of the ships or land accomodation .We were also able to add on extra days after our cruise finished to see other places we wanted to so this was so great.
Also don’t be worried that once you have booked and paid that the company wont help you(unlike other companies ) with any further queries you may have …as Shelly was so helpful with anything I asked .
We would highly recommend Cruise Deals and we can’t wait to book our next trip with them….we have come home with precious memories and it was made easy …thank you .

We’re so glad everything came together just right – from the cruise and flights to those perfectly located hotels and the chance to explore a bit more afterwards. It’s great to hear how easy and stress-free it all felt, and that Shelley was there to support you every step of the way.

Thanks again for your kind words and for recommending us – it really means the world. We can’t wait to help you plan your next adventure!
