Robin Jones was a star

Robin Jones was so helpful from the moment I contacted paramount cruises about a holiday itinerary we wanted to do.
He was very responsive to my many questions!
He managed to get it to a budget we were happy with.
So Vancouver, virgin cruise & Las Vegas here we come!
This is our third paramount holiday and everything ran smoothly the last 2 hence why using them again.
Thank you Robin

Excellent communication and service!

Our experience so far has been excellent. We were responded to promptly when we placed our inquiry. Our Coordinator Robin was excellent in providing all relevant information and answering all questions. The booking and deposit payment process was seamless. So far so good! Hope it is smooth sailing the rest of the way.

Our 4th booking with Paramount Cruises, fabulous as ever!

Our 4th time booking with Tina from Paramount Cruises (this time for our honeymoon!) and everything was amazing as always! Such an easy booking process and Tina was so lovely and responsive. If anyone we know mentions a cruise we always recommend them booking via Paramount Cruises as their prices are always much cheaper than anywhere else. We cannot wait for our cruise now, counting down the days woohoo!!

Best offer, well balanced for a Special Trip!

Tina Conlan has been a great help to get all arranged for our Mardi Gras & Norwegian Cruise. She gave us the confidence having chosen the best agent for an once-in-a-lifetime trip, high quality reasonable priced.
Now we have to see how it will unfold in Jan./Feb. 2027.

An exceptional company with knowledgeable staff.

We can’t praise Robin high enough. He managed to secure a fantastic rate for our first river cruise on The Danube, saving us a whopping £4,000. It was only by chance that I perused their site. Robin was exceptionally helpful and professional making our booking easy. We are absolutely sure that we chose the right company to cruise with. Thank you so much Robin.

Avoid, avoid, avoid.

I would not recommend Paramount or use them again.

We booked a multi cabin cruise over a year out from sailing, under the assumption we were securing the best deal and also booking with an agent who had a great relationship with the cruise line.

A couple of months away from sailing, we noticed the total cost of the cruise had dropped by £4,000. Whilst the cruise line's own terms, as well as the terms of booking via other channels, allowed for at least future cruise credit to account for the difference, after some back and forth with Paramount, we established that this was not possible due to the terms Paramount had booked under. During this process, one of their managers told me on the phone "not all of our customers have the time to check prices every day" - a response which did not seem appropriate given the circumstances, nor professional. I would therefore argue they aren't able to always secure the best possible price and it was an expensive way of learning this.

Separately, we then experienced issues onboard with one of the cabins (which at the time of booking we specifically requested to be in a row) being moved to a noisy part of the ship. After following up, there was an immense amount of contradictory information coming from Paramount and the cruise line, which I have to be fair and say was eventually cleared up by the cruise line. However, Paramount did all they could to absolutely dissolve themselves of any responsibility or accountability. As the booking agent, they had a responsibility to monitor our booking.

Paramount are also happy to cherry-pick the cruise line's own terms when it works best for them; however in circumstances where you feel the cruise line's terms are appropriate to your booking, they have a reason as to why they do not apply.

Any issue we encountered was everyone else's problem, apart from Paramount's. At the very basic level of basic service delivery, they failed.

EDIT IN RESPONSE TO PARAMOUNT’S REPLY:

Regarding accountability: The cruise line also stated that Paramount, as the booking agent, shared a fundamental responsibility to monitor our booking for changes—a duty they failed to perform.

Regarding "no further communication": Paramount's final email to me literally stated: "I just want to use this email to close the loop from our side and make the position clear... ." I posted this review after they explicitly shut the door on us and ended the conversation.

Regarding their "considerable efforts" for a goodwill resolution: This is entirely false as they never mentioned it. In writing, Paramount’s exact words to me were: "Paramount will not be offering separate financial compensation in relation to this matter. Any goodwill resolution will come from Virgin Voyages directly." They did not pursue anything for us; they washed their hands of us.

Hello Henry,

Thank you for your review. Whilst we respect your right to share your experience, we feel it is important to clarify a number of points.

Following a detailed investigation involving both Paramount Cruises and Virgin Voyages, the cruise line confirmed that the cabin change was the result of an internal amendment made by Virgin Voyages during the correction of a booking issue on their system. This was not requested or actioned by Paramount Cruises.

Virgin Voyages subsequently confirmed this directly to both ourselves and the guests involved. A senior member of the Virgin Voyages team also spoke directly with you to explain their findings and confirm that Paramount Cruises were not responsible for the cabin change. Virgin Voyages further confirmed that, under their booking terms, cabin numbers are not guaranteed and may be changed prior to sailing. Following Virgin Voyages' direct contact with you, we received no further communication, and the matter was not raised with us again prior to this review being posted.

With regard to pricing, cruise fares, promotions, and any post-booking price adjustment policies are determined by the cruise line and the specific fare conditions attached to the booking. Whilst we always advocate for our customers wherever possible, we cannot override fare rules set by the supplier. In this instance, we did raise the pricing query with Virgin Voyages on the customer's behalf at the time, and the response received was in line with the fare terms applicable to the booking.

We firmly reject any suggestion that we avoided responsibility. Throughout this matter we actively investigated the concerns raised, gathered evidence from multiple departments within Virgin Voyages, obtained written clarification from the cruise line, arranged direct contact between Virgin Voyages and the guests, and continued to pursue a goodwill resolution despite Virgin Voyages confirming the issue did not originate with Paramount Cruises.

We appreciate the situation was frustrating, particularly given the care taken in selecting the original cabins. However, we do not believe this review accurately reflects either the facts established during the investigation or the considerable efforts made on the guests' behalf.

Paramount Cruises has been arranging cruises for many years and we remain committed to providing honest advice, competitive pricing, and ongoing support before, during, and after travel.

Had several e-mail exchanges with Paramount's representative (Robin) in order to fine tune the details. Replies were always prompt, informative and Robin had no problem responding to my requests and providing multiple quotes before I was able to confirm a booking.

Thanks so much for the lovely review! Robin will be thrilled to hear this. We know booking a cruise often comes with lots of questions and back-and-forth before everything feels right, so we're really glad Robin could help you nail down all the details and find the perfect option. Looking forward to having you sail with us again in the future. Have an amazing trip!
