BE AWARE - they charge $50 for booking cancellation fee as there are no other company doing that except them and they did not even mention it when you book.

Thank you for your feedback. Our agents work a variety of schedules to cover all the time zones and to meet the needs of clients at all hours. Anyone of our agents would be happy to assist you when you call in to our center since it's not possible for our agents to be available all of the hours we are open. If you prefer to hear back from one specific agent, we will gladly take a message so they can return your call during their next shift. We take pride in providing great customer service. Please let us know your needs when we make your next cruise vacation plans and we will make the necessary notes.

Great Agency!

We have booked over 25 cruises with SmartCruiser over the past 10 years or so. Over the years we have received great service from three of their agents (Jennifer, Kim, and Amber). In addition to a painless booking experience, they also have our backs while we're at sea on those occasions when a cruise line is 'confused' about a promised onboard perk.

It's also important to note that they offer some great deals. Their all-in price (after including onboard credits, etc.) is nearly always the best or second best across 5-6 travel agencies that we shop, including Costco Travel. When they are second best we usually book with them anyway due to their superior service.

We highly recommend SmartCruiser to anyone seeking the best combination of price and service.

Thank you for your feedback. Of course we hate to see anyone disappointed with our services. When Princess cruises has an upgrade, that offer can go out to all of the booked interior cabins. Often there is only a few cabins to grab and are typically gone before the majority of guests even get to respond. Regarding your shore excursion request, again we went to Princess on your behalf and they responded with the onboard credit. While we will do whatever we can to ensure guest satisfaction, on rare occasion someone has a disappointment. We did try to eliminate your concerns. We hope your next cruise vacation is a good process for you. Best Wishes.

Sally and smartcruiser.com—what a combo!

We have been using smartcruiser.com for many years and have traveled all over the world. Sally Aronson takes great care with our planning and reservations. She is responsive, professional, efficient, but most of all, she’s friendly and makes the experience pleasant. I strongly recommend smartcruiser.com and Sally Aronson.

While I was very happy with most everything, there were some questions I had & after being unsure of the answer, contacted the cruise ship directly and got a different response. Otherwise, I am very happy & would use your service again.

Love Smart Cruiser!!!

Best online cruise website. Always offers lowest prices available plus generous onboard credit. Very easy to navigate and like being able to see all cabin categories and map of available cabins. Agents are also very knowledgeable and helpful, but never any pressure to book.

My wife and myself have worked exclusively with SmartCruiser for over a decade now, and have always been totally satisfied with their professionalism.
Kim Tuchek has always been both professional & sociable. Kim has never failed to keep us up to date on all upcoming events, payments, etc.

SmartCruiser should be proud to have employees of Kim’s work ethic and outgoing personality.
