£200 for an admin fee.... what a joke!!!

Nightmare organisation who have left a sour taste before we have even taken our holiday of a lifetime!!

We booked a trip for May 2027 to China and Japan and asked for an "upgrade" to regional flights and happily paid an additional £200 per person to fly from Manchester instead of London. When we booked at the beginning of September we were told the flights had not yet been released but they would get back to us with information as soon as they were available.

During September we took another long haul flight and had major problems with our connections from / to Manchester so, on our return to the UK, we rang Imagine Cruising and, as no flight details had yet been released we asked for this "upgrade" of regional flights to be cancelled and the £400 returned so that we could instead use the money to book a train / hotel in London for May 2027 as we did not want to face the issues we had experienced earlier this month again.

Despite the fact that it was LESS THAN 4 WEEKS since we had made the original booking, and NO flights had been booked yet, Imagine Cruising advised that they could arrange this for us but only if we paid an "admin fee" of £200 as they had put us on a "holding list" for the Manchester flights????

How can any company justify £200 admin fee for altering travel plans that have not even been booked yet?

We have paid £15,000 for this holiday and this company have left a very bitter taste, for what should be a holiday of a lifetime, for the sake of £200!

We will not use them again, and if you want a personal and professional service when booking your holiday of a lifetime we suggest you don't either.

We can only hope that the holiday, when it happens next year, is better organised, by more professionally responsible staff, than the jobsworths in their UK office!

Reply from Imagine Cruising UK

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We are sorry to hear that your experience to date has left you feeling disappointed, particularly when you are looking forward to what should be a very special holiday.

We appreciate your concerns regarding the regional flight arrangements. Our packages are based on flights departing from London airports, and regional departures are offered as an additional arrangement at the time of booking. As such, should a customer subsequently wish to amend or remove their regional flight arrangements, an amendment fee will apply.

Having reviewed your booking, we can confirm that your full flight details are now available on file. If you could please contact our Customer Support Team, they will be able to provide you with the flight arrangements currently held on your booking and assist further with the concerns you have raised.

We are sorry that your experience so far has affected your confidence in us, and we hope that by speaking with our team we can address your concerns and provide reassurance ahead of your holiday.
