Ship Reviews (4)
Rachel McSorley (who managed my sister’s and I’s Emerald river cruise booking and a Sicilian trip previously) is an excellent travel advisor. I can’t speak too highly of Rachel from when we first booked the cruise 18 months ago to when my sister had to cancel in June due to ill health. This is the second trip Rachel has managed for me and her professionalism is consistent and of the highest standard. She is pleasant to deal with, very responsive to emails , and a clear communicator, she was very supportive when my sister had to cancel and it was a relief knowing Rachel was handling things with Emerald. Usually I book my own trips but Rachel - and Global Journeys - add so much value it’s a no brainer to use them - it’s a great service for which I’m very appreciative.
