“Failure of payment software.”

Personnel were helpful, but took 8 attempts online to attempt to get your Company’s payment software to accept our NatWest bank account payment for the cruise. As the software would not work at the 8th attempt and after having spoken with my bank’s help desk and establishing no problem with payment at the bank end, I paid manually over the telephone by card!

“Whats a review.”

Iv never done a paperless holiday booking B4, everything done on my smart phone. I worry about getting it right as I'm not great at useing these phones and have no one to help me. I check the Gmail box everyday and just hope I'm doing what you require of me. Your lady, who took the booking, Emma was very helpfull. I daresay I'll need her help further along, closer to sailing. Please tell me help is available. Denice Moldon.
