I have booked with Bolsover several times and when ringing for an appointment my call is answered promptly and with a pleasant "good morning" by the receptionists.
When booking our last cruise Rebekeh/Faith were very polite and booking with someone "face to face" makes it much easier for me than having to go on line .

Spoke to Bethany who was very helpful. Patiently went through all the various options and details with me and never made me feel pressurised.

We thought Alice was knowledgable and helpful - good communication throughout - far better than when we had to communicate with you during lockdown in 2020 - sorry but this is why we tend to book direct now as we had to deal with P&O ourselves - meaning that an agent didn’t want to help - thank you to Alice you may have redeemed yourselves on this occasion

Thank you for your review. We're so pleased to hear that Alice provided knowledgeable, helpful service and kept you informed throughout your booking.

We're sorry your experience during the 2020 lockdown left you disappointed. It was an incredibly challenging time, and there were occasions when customers needed to deal directly with P&O Cruises as processes changed rapidly.

5 Stars - Won't Use Anyone Else

I've used Bolsover Cruise Club three times this year to test out cruising as a form of holiday I can do, I'm really loving them so far, the staff couldn't be more attentive and helpful and they're very good at explaining things to a nervous first time cruiser, the two cruises I've had so far through them were lovely.
