  • Bolsover cruise club are so professional & friendly you all deserve to win this good luck

  • Bolsover Cruise Club, are fantastic, my wife and I have booked more than 60 cruises with them, and at all times they have been first class. If the agent does not know the answer to a problem, which is rare, and they say they will ring back, they don’t mean sometime soon, they mean in minutes. We would never consider using any other travel agent.

    • Hi Donald, thank you for your lovely comment, we really appreciate this.

  • We have always found Bolsover Cruise Club very professional and helpful. Nothing has ever been too much trouble. 2020 saw them quickly sort out a booking refund as the pandemic lockdown was imminent. Our cruise agent of choice.

  • Bolsover cruise club agents go out of their way to be helpful and nothing is to much trouble. I would recommend them to anyone who wishes to go cruising.

  • Bolsover Cruise Club are the best in cruise holidays! Always helpful, professional and prompt at getting back with answers to any questions and 2020 proved just that with the start of Covid lockdown. They kept us updated on refunds and cancellations … must have been a nightmare for them but they did so grateful thanks to all.
    I’ve recommended them for years for service and pricing!
    Keep up the excellent work with thanks to Chloe and the rest of the team. Really looking forward to many more cruises!

    • Hi Ann, thank you for your lovely comment. We really appreciate this and we'll pass this round the team. Thank you.

  • Definitely the best Cruise agents to deal with! Staff always happy and cheerful even when under extreme pressure. We have used them ever since booking our very first cruise and have recommended them to many friends and family since This year we had problems getting a refund from P&O after they cancelled a long awaited cruise at the last minute. After over two months of dealing direct with P&O and getting nowhere I phoned Bolsover and they offered to phone P&O on our behalf to see why there had been such a delay. Surprise Surprise - one week later and we received a cheque for the full amount!!! Our very grateful thanks to Sue and Bolsover for their help - now we can start looking for another cruise to book - with Bolsover of course!!!

    • Thank you for your lovely comment Dee, we're really glad the issue is now resolved. Thank you.

  • From our first cruise to the Mediteranium when the Cruise Club were at home in Bolsovetr Market Place in 1998, we have continued to enjoy the proffessionalism of the Cruise Club.On that cruise we met Sterling Moss, Murray Walker and the grandson of the founder of Morgan Cars. That was supposed to be our one and only cruise, but after surviving a Storm Force TEN, when waves were hitting the bridge, we said well if we can overcome that then why not try another cruise. Since then we have only ever holidayed on cruise ships. When ever we have had an issue with a cruise, a letter to the club soon sorts it out. We send a report of our cruises to the club to inform them of our good or not so good experiences. By doing this the club get a ballanced view of how we enjoyed our holiday, and if we had encountered a problem, then they would do their best to sort it out.
    In the past the club have been able to get compensation for us for our really bad issues. Our reason for our reports to the club are simple. If they aren't aware of a problem with a cruise line,then they can't act to try and solve it. It also helps the cruise lines to see what is going wrong and they can likewise do their best to put it right. At the moment, we miss the 'one to one engagement' by unfortunately not being able to pop in for a chat and a coffee. This engagement helps to sort any issues and is a fantastic method of ensureing that we get the cabin we want in the position on the ship that we prefare. Another issue that can be sorted by this contact,is the adverts on tv or in the newspaper / online which appear to be offering fantastic deals. By chatting to the club they soon point out that the deals are not what they appear to be. One of our better cruises was when the club charted their own airplane from Doncaster Airport for a cruise to the Caribean, because everyone on board had booked via the Cruise Club. Anorher memorable cruise was when we were sailing on Aurora to China to see the Great Wall. Late in the evenning the captain came on the radio to say that 'no one told me to expect an icefield'. We went back to our cabin, stood on the balcony and took photos of the ice. Aurora lost all of the RED protective paint around the bottom of the ship. When we arrived in Sydney, the Australian Navy sent divers down to inspect the hull for any damage before we continued our cruise.
    I hope that this note will help both the Cruise Club and anyone who takes the time to read, it just to say that when things don't seem to be as they should then, a short explanation note will help the club to will enable them to try and put things right.

    • Hi Grant, thank you for taking the time to write this comment. We really love when clients take the time to tell us about how lovely their cruise experience was, as well as the not so good bits. Thank you for your loyalty to us and we look forward to hearing from you in future.

  • Bolsover Cruise Club is without doubt, THE best there is. So knowledgeable, so professional, so pleasant, so quick to respond to messages. Their helpful advice is second to none. We have booked all our cruises through them since we started cruising in 2014, including the world in 2020, a truly amazing experience ( despite the inconvenience of Covid) , and look forward to booking even more holidays via Bolsover Cruise Club in the future! Keep up the excellent work Team Bolsover !

    • Hi Mike and Anita, thank you very much for this, we really appreciate it and look forward to speaking to you in future.

  • Over the years we have dealt with many travel agents, but for the last ten Bolsover have received all our business because of their extremely knowledgeable, customer focussed staff. During COVID, in spite of all the difficulties, they handled everything in a cool, calm, professional manner. Thank you.

    • Hi Terry, thank you for your kind comment. We'll pass this onto our team.
