Excellent.
I went into Hayes not knowing where I wanted to go or when. I sat with Tanya who was delightful and very patient. I left having booked a 9 night cruise to the Norwegian fjords. I am so excited!!

Frustrating initially to get through to Emma for 1 reason or another. She has successfully booked cruises and holidays for us in the past. It would be nice to have simpler, easier communication.

Thank you for your comments, I am terribly sorry that you feel this way however on this occasion, I was with customers when you called and called you back as soon as I was available. Due to being in a store, it can be difficult to take your call immediately but as you know, I do always get back to you as soon as possible. I am sure you will have an amazing holiday. Kindest Regards, Emma
