We have purchased multiple vouchers and have two cruises booked. First one will sail in April 2012 and the other in Sept 2012. We can not wait for these trip and purchased the vouchers at incredible prices. One of the best kept secrets on the web.

avoid falling into this trap
We have managed to get a couple of cruise with this company but they are displaying serious signs of failure.
We were roll called for a cruise we booked in 2011 in early 2013, this should have meant our guarantee of the cruise. NO we booked all travel only to be told theccruise was cancelled. it cost us over 3000 to put us on the cruise with another agency. Now we have been cancelled for a cruise due to sail in nov 13 which we paid for with miles. effectively the company has taken my money cancelled my cruise and given no explanation yet continue to auction miles and offer cruises. Do not be drawn by cheap cruises got somewhere with good reputation as this company has definatley lost its reputation
I have definately lost thousands of dollars

5 Star - Wonderfilled Adventure (of the Seas)
Hi All, My husband and I have finally completed out transatlantic crossing with our cruisemiles cruise. Booked August 2010.
Boarded in Malaga onto Adventure of the seas, lovely ship. At our dinner table was Holiday Steve and friend, on his birthday too. Stateroom on the promenade. Lost 10kilos before going on holiday and they all seemed to find me while there, the food is wonderul and never ending. Six wonderful stops along the way for tours and shopping. we have had to post 3 parcels home as we seem to have too much luggage. Six lovely days cruising along at sea over the Atlantic, then on to St Thomas and finally Peurto Rico. I was hesitant and nervous but would like to let everyone know how easy it all was. We had so much fun we booked another (and paid full price) for this week as we had some time before returning to Australia.
I have some miles banked and cannot wait to find the next destination. Thanks to you all. Cheers Adriant1

7 cancelled cruises! How things have changed
Have just seen the cruise we were leaving to join next week has been deleted from my account. I have been desperately trying to get information on the status of this cruise which had been confirmed and roll checked for weeks after the other five cruises we had booked, one b2b with this one and four for 2014 were all deleted also - CANCELLED. Add this to another cancelled in April this year and the situation is more than grim. I wrote a positive 5 star review for this company last year - little did I know how quickly things could or would change. I so wanted CM to survive and have been so disillusioned by the total lack of customer response these past months. I would have preferred to post this on Cruisemiles forum but unfortunately while I can see my account I seem to be blocked from the forum!!!

Outstanding Value
My first voucher was purchased in 2009. Although dubious at first the more contact I had with the company I saw that as long as it is accepted that patience may be required to find a desirable cruise in the right region at a suitable time top quality cruise can be enjoyed at affordable cost.. I have since bought several more cruisemiles and took the first cruise in October 2011 which far exceeded expections and have made a further reservation for 2012. I have always received a 1st class service with an efficient and prompt response to any queries. Cruisemiles are a unique concept but the value of the cruises offered are outstanding.

The Conversion
‘I get sea sick’, ‘the ships are too big’, there are too many people on the ships’, ‘there is no way I am going on a cruise’.
I’m sure there are many of you who get the picture (both male and female). In our case the stumbling block to our first cruise was my wife of 37 years – Carol.
I had always fancied a cruise and our impending retirement appeared to provide the ideal opportunity to try one. Just one very big problem!
However nothing ventured etc. I noticed cruise vouchers on ebay and given their excellent value I purchased a Titanium voucher at what I considered a ridiculously cheap price and waited for the fallout. I didn’t have to wait long.
‘What a waste of money’, ‘You can’t buy a cruise for that much’, ‘they must be con men’, ‘I bet nobody’s had a cruise’, ‘there’s bound to be a catch’ – once again I’m sure you’ve got the picture!
‘Unbelievably’ a cruise appeared on the site that fitted in with our retirement holiday. ‘Bound to be a hitch’ proclaimed Job’s comforter. However there wasn’t a hitch of any sort and our week visiting 6 islands in the Caribbean was booked and I suffered 11 months of pre-cruise prophecies of doom.
Things were not helped by ‘friend’ Chris (a seasoned cruiser and non-cruise voucher convert) declaring that Carnival were ‘fun ships’ and making it sound like Butlins on the ocean. A further potential problem reared its head when we found we had been allocated an ocean view stateroom on ‘Deck 1’ – the lowest on the ship. ‘If we had been on the Titanic we would have been below Jack Dawson’ became a regular observation from a less than happy future ship mate.
The first sign of a thaw came just 3 days before we were to board the Carnival Victory at San Juan in Puerto Rico. We were enjoying a week in St Lucia and we spotted Carnival Victory as it left Castries harbour on the Thursday. Even Carol, who at that point was looking forward to flying to San Juan with about as much enthusiasm as a visit to the dentist, looked suitably impressed with the ship as it sailed away.
Next day we flew to San Juan to spend 2 superb days prior to our date with destiny. I can thoroughly recommend Charlies Car Hire to any prospective cruisers out of San Juan. Cheapest car hire in the Caribbean by far and superb service picking up at the airport and dropping of at the cruise terminal. I can also recommend a superb b&b on the edge of the rainforest overlooking the ocean that was magical (Ceiba Country Inn).
Enough of the free publicity – back to a nervous wreck. Me. Would our marriage survive? Would I survive?
The glimmering of a thaw I had noticed in St Lucia started to become a reality with our swift embarkation on the Sunday. We were heading for our cabin just 20 minutes after arriving at the terminal. The first view of the room was going to be the determining factor!! Wow! What a superb cabin. It wasn’t under water! In fact it provided a superb view of the harbour. Suddenly there was a smile of delight.
The thaw was underway and the next 7 days were to provide the biggest conversion since Saul of Tarsus!
Everything about the cruise – the ship, the crew, the food, the entertainment, the ports of call turned out way beyond my expectations. As my expectations were already at a fairly high level I can only imagine how Carol felt as all her preconceptions were shattered.
Enough to say that the smile did not leave her face until we had to disembark 7 days later. However her rather sad face was mirrored by mine as we left the terminal and took a last look at our home for the previous week.
Thank you Cruise Vouchers for giving me the opportunity to introduce the joys of cruising to Carol and to bring the biggest looks of surprise imaginable on the faces of our friends when we returned – still as man and wife. Even more surprising is the newly converted disciple for the new Cruise Miles. Her friends are going to get sick of her preaching to them about just how unbelievable they are.
Conversion complete!
