Our consultant, Tracey Standing, was exceptional on all counts - especially her prompt, clear, professional and helpful communication. Recently, through her negotiations on our behalf with a major cruise company, not only did we have a trouble-free and relaxing cruise, but we finished up with more On-Board credits that we struggled to use them!! Thanks Tracey. For our (hopefully!!) next OS venture we will certainly have Global Journeys as Stop Number One !!
