“Jorge Rodriguez was awesome”

Easy booking and follow up email. Jorge Rodriguez was very informative, had great customer service skills and was exceptionally pleasant. He helped me book the right add on items for my needs. I would travel with Cruise Direct again in the future.

This company charged me $3000 when it should have been $1750. The refuse to refund the money. Absolutely rudest people ever! DO NOT LOOSE YOUR MONEY LIKE I DID

I really recommend to book a cruise via cruisedirect.com and also the loyal cruise expert Enrique Bravo! He was very friendly and professionell. All in all cruisedirect.com has got nice and helpful customer service. Thank you!

They have the best customer service I have ever used. I have a cruise for May 8 the today is may 4th I did all my paperwork for express broarding on my computer when I went to print it out my computer broke. I couldn't print the passes. I was so upset that I would have to make the line at the dock. I call them an ask if they could fax me a copy of my broarding pass they told me they could that they will mail it. Well today they sensed someone to my house with the broarding pass. They are like about 2 hours away from my house. But my agent made sure that I got the passes. I have travel many times and this is the first time. Something like this has ever happen to me. ( my mother is in hospice at home that why I couldn't go somewhere else to print the passes) I will never use another agency other than cruise direct. That was my experience with them. Thank you so much

We had tried different websites to book a cruise and had many troubles. Until we found Crusie Direct and the online chat support was amazing. Our Jorge Jorge Rodriguez was amazing and helped us every step of the way! He helped us find a room, with the package we wanted and was right there with me every step of the way! If the cruise is anything like the young man that helped us, we will be delighted. Best experience ever. Thank you!

Booked a cruise for the first time with CruiseDirect. I read the reviews online prior to contacting them. They offered extra perks in addition to NCL. I had a hold and then phoned in to book the next day. I have dealt with many different agents via chat and phone (asking various questions and confirming things). Each agent has been outstanding, friendly and very professional. Never once have I been made to feel like my question isn't important. I highly recommend CruiseDirect. Sebastian van Lengen was the agent I booked my cruise with, Jose Flores did an online chat with me as did Alexander Gaitan, Vincent Valdez and Carlos Diaz.

We have been on several cruises and know what questions to ask, etc. It is important to know the terms and conditions BEFORE you purchase, check the deck plans for room location, etc. Know if price drops after final payment you can't get price adjustment (if price went up you wouldn't expect to pay more),

The experience of planning a cruise for my family was made easier because Sebastian Van Lengen helped me with every need and want of my family. I will use Cruise Direct again and request Sebastian for the next group cruise. He alway followed up on calls and emails with all of my family. Thank you Sebastian and be blessed.

Recently, I tried to put a cruise with Cruise Direct for 2017. Their website had a glitch in which the available cabins were including the Library! Eventhough the agent assigned me a cabin number I could not feel assured that the cabin was available since it was part of that glitch. Also, the invoice that they sent me was repeatedly incorrect! Not itemized right. So I canceled the reservation.

This is our first booking of a Caribean Cruise and we made the reservation very easy with the help of the Chat function - Eugene Marc-Henry was a great help all the way and helped us find an even better room to a better price. There was a fast response to all our questions - now we are just looking forward to the cruise:-)
