ROL staff are very knowledgeable

ROL staff are very knowledgeable, particularly when comparing cruise lines. Also, excellent at ensuring the cruise companies pass on any savings they are supposed to. The service from Billy Rusbridge is exceptional as he always goes the extra mile to ensure our booking is exactly as we want it to be, often advising on cabin positioning on the respective ship and escursion choices.

Our fourth booking with ROL

Our fourth booking with ROL, and everyone is always friendly and knowledgeable when we call. We never feel that we are being rushed and there is no pressure to make a booking. They seem genuinely motivated to ensure we get exactly the cruise we want even if that means looking at different dates, or different stateroom categories and even a regional airport for our flights. On this occasion our thanks to Darren who needed to tie in the cruise element with a pre-cruise scenic railway holiday package whilst still being happy to look at deck plans to find us the perfect stateroom. The cherry on the cake was the little bit of extra discount given for the ROL cruise miles we earned on our last booking.
