Imagine Holidays

We booked a cruise for May 22. It was booked early in 2021. We wanted to change flights and book extra stay. From when we booked until January 22, we did not hear from anyone at Imagine. Cruise line emailed us. It had been changed to 2023 which did not suit. We called Imagine to cancel. For no work, they charged us $100 per person, not per booking to get a refund for a holiday that was cancelled.

I have never subscribed. Never booked a holiday but I get daily spam texts that I just can’t stop. I have emailed, texted, blocked, reported to the ACCC. Even asked the police for help. STOP. TEXTING. ME.

Booking procedure was good and booking officer very helpful and transparent. Disappointing that there was not an option to pay by direct debit and avoid the expensive credit card fee.
However my main and continuing disappointment is with the constant use of the name Ayers Rock rather than its proper name of Uluru. The spiritual dimension of the trip has been well promoted by Imagine Holidays, and is one of the big attractions to my wife and me. The name Ayers Rock is an annoying distraction from that spiritual dimension.

I have now been trying to redeem our voucher for 2 weeks, and have not been able to talk with anyone or get a return phone call, even after someone from the Brisbane Office kindly emailed the manager of the department responsible. As well as the email, I have left 3 messages and phoned almost every day (always engaged!). Given my husband's health situation, which has been explained to Imagine, we can no longer do our original package of a train journey, which was cancelled due to Covid. With no refund forthcoming I need help to source something more suitable, and would appreciate a phone call. The Fiji package may be suitable.

HPL12793 Fowles. My 84 year old frail aged and early onset dementia, purchased tickets for Phantom of the Opera with you in January. Due to covid it was cancelled. Have we been TRYING to get her refund? ABSOLUTELY! Have we seen it...NO. Don't ever deal with this company, they screw you over.

My elderly parents were booked to do a trip on the Indian pacific in August 2020 for their 50th wedding anniversary. They handed over $15,500 to imagine holidays. Unfortunately due to COVID and border closures the trip was not able to go ahead. They spent the next 6 months chasing a refund which was not issued to them until Jan 2021…… but not all of it issued. It was an incredibly stressful and unnecessary that they had to continually chase this refund. They are still owed $940 from imagine holidays- they have been told this is in unrefundable. Absolutely disgraceful customer service-would never use after my parents experience with them. Beware!

Very poor communication. Had to ring up several times. Was repeatedly told i would get relevant info by email next day. Took 4 phone calls and 10 days to get the info requested.
Wanted to cancel holiday because it was obvious parts would not go ahead because of Covid in the NT. Was patronizingly told it would be ok - only to have 2 if the 7 days cancelled. No communication about the cancelled part if the holiday. Post holiday communication very poor.

My Husband and I booked a trip for August 2021 leaving from Broome, WA (we live in WA). Holiday ref no. HPL-10356.
Our trip was cancelled at the last minute citing Covid. Other tour operators in Broome still fully operational (even when only half full). I contacted them several times to get a full refund, no chance. I phoned on the 9/11/21 at 10.25 am Perth time (spoke to staff member Kim) to try and re-book the Fiji Yasawa trip for 29 April 22 (CRU 2359) or May 2022. I could not get a confirmation immediately (even though the website shows...

I booked a cruise from NY to Barcelona, it was cancelled due to CORONA virus and I received a credit, then all my money was refunded just recently. Thank-you team.

I booked the 3 lakes Italy in 2018.. unfortunately because of Covid.. cancelled like everyone elses holiday. I was never informed of a refund at the time,1 year later, I could have had a refund..I wish I had taken it,as now no credit is on offer..my worry is now the new variant of Covid 2021..my holiday will be a worrying time if I take this holiday..it will be 4 years since I have had a holiday..why can't they give a credit of what I have paid so I can go to a holiday here in Australia.? Again today no offer of a credit so I could holiday in Australia, I am going to have to wait till August 2022 before I will know if it will be safe to travel overseas... Like the years before..4 years in waiting..what a joke..

After serious issues on my recent holiday manager Shaun and Hollie were quick to check my problems, ensure my safety and offer substantial credit and assurances for my future bookings

After booking and paying for a holiday 20 hours before being due to leave we finally received a call to say it was cancelled. We had rung at least four times before this to be told someone would ring us back
Now when trying use our credit of nearly $11,000 dollars we are told everyone is busy and will ring us back. We hope this is not part of their business ethic Not happy

We finally received a call to from Courtney Hart to re-book our cancelled Indian Pacific Trip. Having just returned from our Amazing Ghan trip, we were very keen to get our next trip sorted out. After being given some unwelcome options, including increases in our original costs, lack of suitable dates and decreased length of stays, Courtney was prepared to follow up on information provided by me, and was able to re-book our trip on a compromised date, and also keep our holiday to the same benefits we previously had, and with the help of Journe...

Being kept updated when part of the holiday is cancelled
is a bonus.Regular updates are a bonus and I hope there is
a favorable result.
We have had this holiday booked for a long time

Lovelly person. Went out of her way, and beyond expectations to help me with a difficult booking , during stressful covid times l even called back to check everything was ok.
A pleasure to deal with and someone I would be very .happy to use in future.
