We had a perfect sunny day for a beautiful and relaxing cruise. Lunch was outstanding, HUGE fresh prawns, fresh fruit & salads, ham off the bone.. delicious. Staff were professional, helpful & friendly. Highly rate this buffet lunch cruise for those looking for something nice & relaxing to do!

Patricia Azzopardi

Thank you to the crew for making our Sea Cruise along Surfers and Gold Coast a great experience. Buffet lunch was super, service was impeccable. Will do the night cruise next time we visit. This is a must.

Lee Buttler

What a pleasant surprise this cruise was! Hubby and I went in the lunch cruise today, and I knew the second I stepped on board I would enjoy myself. I was really impressed with the boat: clean, modern and comfortable. The top deck was fantastic. After lunch, we stayed upstairs in the sun and beautiful fresh air. Lunch was perfect. The staff were fantastic and really interactive, always touching base with us to see if there was anything we needed and if we were happy. The view of the shores, houses and Gold Coast were absolutely beautiful. We even saw some dolphins!!

Legit site. Prices are competitive. Staff are helpful, efficient and respond fast to queries. Also, I accidentally double booked a tour. I emailed them and in 3 days, I got my refund back. The tour I booked was wonderful. I had no problems getting the voucher from the tour agent.
We recently bought tickets to the Australian Outback Spectacular from Experience OZ for an excellent price! Far below anywhere else we could get it from. We got the cheapest seats and they were brilliant. We were 2 rows from the front just off centre. You can see the whole performance from any seat there as it’s not huge. The whole experience was excellent. The food was lovely and plenty of it, nice and hot too! We took our 4 kids (10-18) and they loved it as well. Highly recommend to all ages.
A fantastic company to book tours and attractions with and you always get discounts and $10 vouchers to spend on other attractions, very happy with Experience oz.

CHIRN PARK TRAVEL ASSOCIATES REVIEWS

Alana Debritt has handled my family's travel for the past few years and her service has been excellent. Alana recently designed a 3 week Europe holiday for me and I was more than impressed with her ability to show attention to detail, listen to my wants and needs, her knowledge of international locations and how easy she made it for me to understand and prepare for the trip. I have already referred Alana to several of my friends to book their upcoming international holidays. She even followed up when I was back in Australia to ask about my trip and experience which I felt was kind and highly professional. I look forward to consulting with Alana for my next holiday and highly recommend her to anyone wanting to travel domestically or abroad, 10/10.
Marie from Travel Associates has been absolutely amazing in planning with us our overseas holiday, from covid dampening our plans in 2020 Marie has gone above and beyond to rebook our trip which we are about to take in 2 weeks. She has taken all the stress out of planning and we cannot thank you enough, and will be in touch when we start planning the next trip. Thank you so very much we really appreciate everything you have done for us.

I cannot recommend Ash Cowper highly enough! You organised the holiday of a lifetime for me recently to Magnetic Island and The Whitsundays that was perfectly matched to my needs and budget. Your personal touch with staying in contact with me to enquire that everything was all right means a great deal to me as a solo traveller. I truly value your high level of expertise and professionalism. Thank you so much.
I needed a last minute trip to Croatia as a solo female traveller, and I have to say I couldn’t have got there without Jordan at Flight Centre Robina. He promptly found me the most efficient and comfortable flights, and perfect accommodation at the other end, which was just what I needed to get my bearings. Since I’ve been away he’s been so reliable and personable, and happy to help along the way. Would like to leave a huge thank you!
Sam was incredible!! She made sure I was well prepared for my trip, answered any questions/concerns I had both prior and while I was away as well as followed up shortly after I got home. Such great service and I am very lucky to have booked with her for my first big trip. Thank you!

Yes, You Should Use a Cruise Travel Agent-Here's Why

I ncreasingly, amid a sea of confusing online search information and inadequate AI-generated advice , travelers are looking for a human touch when planning and booking their land- and water-based vacations and are turning to travel advisors for their in-depth knowledge and expertise.

A survey conducted by the American Society of Travel Advisors (ASTA) earlier this year found that travelers are more likely to use a travel advisor now than a year ago, with almost half (49 percent) of the respondents citing their desire to have peace of mind when planning their vacations and wanting to get the best value for their travel investment.

And when it comes to the vast world of cruising , where there are so many cruise lines and types of sailings to choose from, not to mention a whole world of destinations, it can be daunting and time-consuming to try to sift through all the options on your own. The key is finding a travel advisor who really knows and understands the cruise industry and who will ultimately relieve you of added stress and work. These are, after all, professionals, and this is what they do day in and day out.

The best travel agents who specialize in cruises

Whether you're keen on an arctic expedition cruise or a laid-back barge cruise in the South of France, here are the best travel advisors who can match you to the cruise that's right for you.

She's even fashioned a title for herself as a ‘CCIG specialist,' concentrating on the Caribbean, cruises, and international group travel. You'll want to keep Henry on your travel advisor list when your group wants to set sail on an ocean cruise, and particularly if your crew is interested in personally traveling with a travel advisor. Henry hosts a number of group trips throughout the year, helping to ensure her travelers have the peace of mind they're looking for through a hands-on experience with their trusted travel professional. Among her upcoming group cruise trips is a 7-day luxury yacht cruise exploring Croatia's Dalmatian Coast from Split to Dubrovnik aboard the 18-cabin MV Auriela yacht, owned by Katarina Cruise Line, that will depart on August 3, 2024.

George Aballi, Connection to Cruise

Choosing, planning, and booking a cruise can be overwhelming. These pros can help.

There's more to booking a cruise than picking your travel dates. Here's what to know.

cruise travel agent gold coast

Cruises could be considered one-stop shopping for travelers. With accommodations, transportation, food and entertainment all in one, they can help take the complications out of vacation planning.

But there’s more to booking a cruise than first-time passengers may realize.

From the wide range of lines to add-ons like drink packages and excursions that often cost extra, guests can face numerous decisions throughout the process. “There's like a pretty huge difference in booking a hotel upfront versus a cruise line,” said Andy Knowles, a luxury travel adviser affiliated with Fora Travel.

How far in advance should I book?

Booking well in advance will generally yield better rates, but travelers may also be able to find last-minute bargains if cruise lines are looking to fill space ( click here for USA TODAY’s guide to finding cruise deals).

“I'd say most of my clients are booking at least six months out in advance, if not more,” said Knowles.

Should I use a travel agent to book a cruise?

You can book a cruise without a travel agent, but there are some advantages to using one.

Alyssa Griffin, who makes videos about cruising with her husband, Cullen, on their YouTube channel, Griff & Alyssa , said they began working with an agent about five years ago.

“I don’t know why we didn’t get a travel agent sooner,” said Griffin, who has been on “at least” 60 cruises (she also worked as a travel agent briefly from 2018 to 2019).

Initially, she enjoyed coordinating trips on her own and found it easy, but she said consulting an agent “takes the stress out of planning, and they can help offer suggestions and things that you wouldn't necessarily think about.”

They can assist clients with determining which line, ship and destination may be the best fit. And if travelers run into an issue or have a question, their agent can handle it for them – a nice benefit given potentially long customer service phone line wait times.

“They can also get some cool perks, like onboard credit or some will put a bottle of wine or chocolate-covered strawberries in your room,” she added. Most also don’t charge clients for their services as they earn commission from cruise lines.

Knowles encouraged travelers to use an adviser who is an expert in the type of trip they are planning, whether a family vacation or a romantic getaway.

Many cruise lines also have in-house vacation planners who can help prospective guests navigate the booking process. Travelers may be able to find cheap rates on third-party booking sites (though some customers using those have had to jump through hoops when problems arise).

Should I book my flights through a cruise line?

Packages that bundle flights with a cruise are sometimes “very enticing and worth it,” according to Knowles, but they can come with some limitations. “I will say for the majority of cruise lines that you're booking flights through their platform, it just adds that third-party element that sometimes removes things from your control,” he said.

If travelers need to make changes, for instance, he said they would have to go through the cruise line. And while they may be able to list their general preferences, it’s not as easy to choose the exact seat they want on the plane.

Are cruises all inclusive?

That depends. Cruise line fares do include items that are often sold a la carte on land, and you can technically go an entire sailing without paying much more than the ticket price.

But many extras are not part of base fares on mainstream brands, ranging from alcoholic drinks to laundry, so you can rack up quite a few additional charges depending on your priorities. That's where packages come in handy, and higher stateroom categories often include more perks.

Luxury and river cruise lines also tend to bundle more in their base fares, though policies vary.

Do I need restaurant reservations?

Not necessarily. Mainstream cruise lines historically offered an early or late seating in their dining rooms, but many have introduced flexible mealtimes in recent years and often have a number of casual walk-up venues open for dinner as well. Some lines don’t have traditional dining rooms at all.

But if you want to eat at specialty restaurants, which typically come at an extra charge, you’ll likely want reservations. Passengers may be able to make a last-minute booking, but it’s worth doing before the cruise.

“I always recommend booking those ahead of time just to have something locked in,” Knowles said. Reservations typically open 30 to 60 days before departure.

If guests change their mind, it’s fairly simple to make changes “so you’re not necessarily locked into one spot.” They can typically do so via the cruise line’s app.

When should I book excursions?

The same goes for excursions. “I always point folks towards, if there’s one specific tour that (clients are) like, ‘This is something that we absolutely want and need to do,’ that it's always best to book that as far out as you can, just to make sure that you have it available,” Knowles said.

That said, cruise lines typically offer “a pretty large handful of experiences in each location,” and he hasn’t had any clients board to find all the excursions sold out.

Are tips included in my cruise fare?

Mainstream cruise lines charge passengers for gratuities on a per person, per day basis. The cost is automatically added to their onboard account, and passengers can generally adjust them before disembarking.

Passengers can also pay their gratuities in advance. Many higher-end lines include tips in the fare automatically.

Should I prepay for extras?

Guests can buy add-ons like Wi-Fi or drink packages during the cruise, but they may be sold at a cheaper rate ahead of time. Knowles said there is typically “going to be some incentive to booking beforehand.”

“So, if you were booking a bar package, something that might be $250 on board, you'll pay maybe $200 up front for,” he said. If you know you want to book one at some point, he recommended pulling the trigger sooner than later.

Griffin echoed that, and said the convenience is also nice. “I am one to just want to get on the ship and not worry about how much money I’m spending once I get there,” she said. “So, if you've already established all those things ahead of time, it feels more like an all-inclusive vacation.”
