What Our Clients Are Saying
Las ramonas
Loved everything about it. Food and atmosphere was great. People were friendly and caring.
Dream vacation turns reality
For our 30th wedding anniversary, we decided we wanted to go on a vacation with another couple. Problem is, we had no idea where we wanted to go! Caitlin patiently sent us cruise and resort information for weeks, answering all our questions in a timely manner. When we finally decided to go to the Dominican Republic, she found the most beautiful resort that fit our wants perfectly. We will definitely be using her again!!!
Just What We Needed!
Logan was so helpful in directing us to the cruise that fit our desires! From making our hotel arrangements, to excursion suggestions and transfer to the airport she helped us with each step!
Our Italy trip planned by Debbie Marcelli.
Debbie Marcelli was very professional and responsive to our needs as we planned our Italy adventure. She listened to our concerns and our hopes and expectations for our trip. We had a wonderful Italy trip and we had no issues and loved our tour group that she planned for us. I would definitely recommend working with Debbie.
Royal caribbean cruise
Melanie was our “cruise consultant “ and took good care of us, especially my hubby, and his CPAP supplies! Hope to do another cruise on Royal in the near future! Thanks
Adventures by Disney Europe River Cruise
I had the challenge of trying to find a river cruise in Europe for age 14 through 81. Shannon came up with the best suggestion. Adventures by Disney uses AMA waterway boats a few times in the summer. Not only was the cruise great with great excursions included. My daughter made friends her age group in the first 30 minutes on the boat. It was a great way to see Europe only unpacking once for many great destinations on the Rhône River.
Great CANCUN vacation!!!
Shannon was wonderful! She went above and beyond in every aspect of our vacation! Thank you so much!
Great trip with friends!!
Shannon booked an annual trip on Royal Caribbean with two other couples. It was a wonderful experience with our rooms right next to each other. We received great updated information and timely advice. And even watched our price for us and got us all a better deal!! She is amazing!!
Aug 2026 Greek Cruise
My friend and I traveled to Ravena Italy to board the RCCL Explorer of the Seas for a Greek Island cruise in Aug. Had a wonderful 12 days visiting Bologna and Venice in Italy and Santorini, Mykonos, Athens in Greece, and Spilt Croatia. Debbie helped us every step of the way, from researching cruises for us, to booking the cruise, airfare, excursions, helping understand trains and transfers for us. She kept us up to date on any payments due and changes in plans.
Wonderful trip
Our travel agent did an outstanding job planning our Canyon Spirit adventure! Every detail was thoughtfully arranged, making the entire trip seamless and stress-free. From beginning to end, we felt well taken care of and were able to simply relax and enjoy an unforgettable experience. We truly appreciated the attention to detail and would highly recommend Jen to anyone planning a special getaway!Thank you Jen.
Easy Peasy!
Shannon always makes booking from start to finish a breeze! She never makes you feel like a bother, even when you are bothering her during a cruise. I wouldn’t book with anyone else!
Megan was the best!
Megan was so helpful in advising us about our Disney vacation! From the parks to the hotel she was top notch! Highly recommend her services.
Sandals Curacao
We had a great trip to Sandals Curaçao. It was one of the resorts Amy had visited and recommended to us. It did not disappoint. We would definitely go back perfect weather, beautifully maintained and we met some nice people . Amy, thank you for recommending and as always thanks for all you do to make our trips easy and relaxing. Can’t wait for you to plan our next trip.
Top notch service. Awesome Agent. Highly recommend
If you want great compassionate service Margie Smith is for you.
Utilize the Travel Agency!
We have had the pleasure of working with Andrea Trelless on two separate trips now in the last few years. She helped us plan on our first family trip to Disney, which was so easy and took so much stress off of me. She also recently helped us plan a Sandals trip for anniversary. Each time she has provided amazing support in helping us selected the location that best fits our needs and select a resort that is within our budget and has amenities that are important to us. The email reminders leading up to the trip to include a packing list really help make us feel prepared ahead of traveling. We will be utilizing her to book our future trips and truly feel like she makes the traveling process seamless!
Caribbean cruise and Aruba
Amy recently booked our Cruise and trip for us and we had a fabulous time. We had one glitch during our trip and Amy quickly resolved it and brought clarity to the situation and we never looked back and enjoyed our fun in the sun. Amy is so quick and thorough she makes the whole trip effortless and stress free🥰
Amazing Norwegian Fjords Cruise
Once again, Shannon has exceeded our expectations. We were looking at booking a Fjords cruise with two other couples before they were even released. The day the itinerary hit the Royal site, Shannon contacted us and got three cabins booked at an amazing price. When a problem popped up with On Board Credit, Shannon contacted her team and worked very hard to get it straightened out. I would not have had the patience or time to deal with it. But Shannon took it on like the champ that she is. Her efforts allowed up to focus on the important thing – having an amazing cruise vacation. Now the six of us have memories that will last a lifetime. Thank you Shannon!
Alaskan Cruise
Visiting Alaska has been on our bucket list for a few years and Emily made it happen for us! We had an absolutely amazing experience and so much of that was thanks to Emily. From helping us choose the right cruise to making sure all the details were taken care of, the entire planning process was easy and stress-free. We would highly recommend Emily to anyone planning their vacation!!
Best travel agent ever!
I just returned from a star class suite on Oasis of the Seas that Shannon Schwartz orchestrated for me and 10 members of my family. Shannon was with me from the initial booking until we disembarked. I was constantly asking her questions or requesting this change or that and she always acted like I was the only client she had. She always had time for me and was extraordinarily responsive. I don’t think the woman ever sleeps or takes any time off. I would send her a message and she responded quickly. She is also very knowledgable about Royal Caribbean. I couldn’t recommend her any more highly.
Beaches Turks and Caicos trip
My family and I just returned from our trip to Turks and Caicos. Emily made planning SO easy! It was great that she had traveled to the resort with her family in the recent past with kids similar ages to mine so I could bounce different ideas/questions to her for real answers. She helped my husband arrange a birthday surprise for me which made everything extra special. Emily is knowledgable and easy to work with, excited to work with her again for our next vacation!
Cruise from Greece to Rome
My family had an amazing experience on a cruise to Greece and Rome in July thanks to Debbie’s cruise expertise! She recommended many excursions that were a perfect fit for the various interests in our family, from a wine tour in Tuscany to tours of ancient sites in Greece. Her detailed itinerary kept us on track throughout our trip. We especially appreciated how she helped us sort out an issue with a vendor and checked in with us during our trip! We are looking forward to working with Debbie on our future vacations!
Dreams Macao, Dominican Republic
Emily was truly with us every step of the way! After being out of the travel-planning world for quite a few years, we really appreciated how she listened to our wants and made the entire process easy to follow and understand. She kept everything organized and together, which gave us confidence and reassurance throughout the planning process. I can definitely see myself using Emily again in the future and will absolutely be recommending her to family and friends!
Celebrating my 50th on Star of the Seas
This was one of the best cruises I have ever been on. We were originally scheduled to be sailing Alaska but personal issues caused us to swap to the Caribbean. Shannon handled the transfer for us, found us a great room and really took a lot of stress off my plate. She sets up making sure RC had supplies for my Cpap machine ready and is always quick to respond. She doesn’t stop helping when we board, she even responds to simple texts about questions we have while on our cruise or out on different excursions. We have used Shannon for our last 4 cruises and already have another on the books with her in April 2027. I cannot thank her enough for all she has done for our previous cruise and all she continues to do to make our cruise vacations worry and stress free!

Sandals Dunns River for our anniversary
Amanda has been booking trips for my family since 2016. We’ve done two Disney trips, two Royal Caribbean cruises and now our 25th wedding anniversary trip to Sandals Dunns River. It was special to us because this was our honeymoon destination back in 2001. It was amazing to see how much the resort has changed and been updated.
Amanda was always available via email for any questions I had about the trip. We booked a club level room and when we arrived at the resort after a long day of travel, we were upgraded to a sky villa plunge pool room! It was an amazing surprise and made our trip that much more special.
I will continue using Amanda in the future for our next family or couples trip. She’s great!
Great Support
I was feeling a little overwhelmed with all the Alaska cruise options. After collecting some information about our travel preferences and goals, Megan narrowed down the options for me. She even suggested specific ships, not just cruise lines. We got back from our expedition cruise last weekend and all I can say is she nailed it! I would highly recommend her for Alaska cruises.
Alaska in July
Our trip was fabulous thanks to Caitlin who coordinated every detail. A family vacation we will always treasure!! Thank You 💕
Great experience
We can’t say enough good things about working with Megan! From the very beginning, she made planning our Sandals Antigua vacation so easy. She was always quick to respond to emails, answered every question we had, and offered thoughtful recommendations that helped us choose the perfect resort for our girls’ birthday getaway.
She handled all of the booking details, shared helpful tips along the way, and made the entire experience completely stress-free. It was so nice knowing we had someone knowledgeable looking out for us every step of the way.
After such an amazing experience, there was no question who we’d use to plan our next vacation—we’ve already booked our 2027 Disney trip with Megan! We truly appreciate everything she did for us and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a travel advisor who is responsive, knowledgeable, and genuinely cares about making your vacation special.
Thanks Debbie!
Spent a week in the Costa Rican rainforest with numerous excursions and transfers. It was paradise! Everything went exactly as planned, the Lost Iguana resort was beautiful and the staff was great!!!!
Girls' Trip
We have worked with Amanda for years! She is always willing to answer any questions, and this time, she helped us change our plans when life stepped in. We are so thankful for her knowledge, patience, and commitment to making each trip magical! We already have more trips on the horizon, and can’t wait to see what she recommends!
