What Our Clients Are Saying
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 freeđ„°
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 doesnât 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 đ
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 vacationâwe’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!
Amazing Dude Ranch!
Our multi-generational family had an unforgettable week at Western Pleasure Guest Ranch! From the incredible horseback riding and delicious homemade meals to the breathtaking Idaho scenery, every detail exceeded our expectations. One of the biggest highlights was the Youth Horsemanship Program. It gave the kids the opportunity to build confidence, improve their riding skills, and create a special bond with their horses. They looked forward to it every day! What truly sets Western Pleasure apart is the owners and staff. They made our stay feel so personal, taking the time to get to know our family and creating an experience that was warm, welcoming, and unforgettable. A special thank you to our travel agent, Megan Keebaugh, for introducing us to this hidden gem. She made the planning process completely seamless and stress-free, and every detail of our trip was perfectly coordinated. We are so grateful she helped us discover a place that created memories our family will treasure for years to come.
Alaska Land and Sea
Our Alaskan family trip with land and sea tour was amazing. Caitlin does such a great job helping us plan ahead that we pack right and focus on making memories versus worrying about the details.
Highly recommend Amanda! She is the best!
This was a second time Iâve worked with Amanda to plan our family vacation to Disney World. She is a true expert in everything Disney. I didnât have to lift a finger with a few answers on what my family likes Amanda put together the best vacation for us! She is so great and easy to work with. I would recommend Amanda to anybody looking for a great vacation!
Amazing week in the Turks and Caicos
Jen was excellent to work with for our summer vacation! She made everything so easy for me to decide where to go and how much we wanted to spend. I loved working with her and can call her a friend!
The vacation was just was what my family needed!
Amazing family cruise!
We just got back from a 7 day cruise on the Oasis of the Sea to the Bahamas. My family of 5 had an amazing trip! I recommend this cruise for everyone! There was so much to do for my entire family. We kept busy from the time we woke up until we went to sleep. The cruise had the friendliest staff members and they always made you feel special. From the food to the entertainment, we kept ourselves busy and had so much fun! The Bahamas and Coco Cay were amazing! We have so many great family memories.
Thank you to Aly Hirst for all of her help and guidance in booking this trip. She is knowledgeable and helpful with all of our questions. I love the checklists and emails that she sends to keep us organized and to get us ready for the trip. All of the tips were helpful for our first family cruise.
Thank you, Aly! We canât wait to book our next adventure!
Volcano/mud bath experience
Great trip, everything was ready for us, easy to navigate and exactly as we wanted.
Honeymoon!
Amy is absolutely amazing! She does everything to make sure you enjoy your vacation. I will recommend her to everyone and anyone looking. I will definitely use her again. Had an issue at the airport and she helped us figure it out in no time. She is amazing!

Ran into an issue at the airport. We called her and she had it fixed in no time. I will use her again and will recommend to anyone and everyone!! Amy is amazing!
Amazing trip through Greece
Amy was amazing through start to finish. She even checked in on is halfway. When we got laid over in London she even found us a hotel coming home. Would highly recommend this company. Thanks Amy!
Amazing Family Trip of a Lifetime
Shannon was amazing and instrumental in helping us get our rooms close to each other. I was having so much difficulty trying to find ones that we wanted and were close to one another but once I asked Shannon for help, she made it happen! She helped make the process seamless and answered all my many questions so when it came time for our cruise, I was more than ready to relax and enjoy our much needed family time together! My familyâs favorite excursion was Perfect Day at Coco Cay. We didnât want to leave there. I highly recommend working with Shannon for your travel needs. I canât thank her enough and hope to work with her again!
Amazing Jen!!
Jen made the process pleasant and easy for all 3 families. Our 4 day voyage on Royal Caribbean Utopia of the Seas was everything I hoped for and more!
We are celebrating our 50th Wedding Anniversary this year and wanted to plan a trip with our sons and their families. After speaking with Jen Grove, we decided a cruise would be the best option as each family has a different dynamic and enjoys different activities. Jen offered options and helped us make reservations and assisted us getting a mobility scooter for my husband. She kept in touch with us through the entire process, answering questions and reminding us of deadlines.
First time cruisers!
Andrea helped make the process seamless and ensured we were fully prepared to make the most of our Disney Alaska cruise. And we had an absolute blast!! Would highly recommend.
A trip of a lifetime
Kelly put so much time and energy into planning our trip. Communication down to the very last detail made everything so easy, and my usual anxieties about traveling almost vanished, because of all of Kellyâs prior planning for us. She is an amazing travel advisor which is why this is at least our eighth trip through herâșïž
Our cruise on the Sun Princess to Greece and Barcelona, Spain was all that I hoped for: Beautiful sights, my footsteps where so much history has occurred, incredibly interesting and kind people along the way:. All these things made this my dream vacation. The cruise itself exceeded expectations with outstanding rooms and service from our steward, Robert, and our team of Sebastian and Roshan in the dining room was one of the high points of our days. The beds were so comfortable, and the bathroom was ginormous compared to older ships on which we have traveled.
Barcelona was a high point also for us. The city itself is beautiful, and the people at our hotel, H10 Madison, were without match. They were so kind and accommodating in every way. We would love to visit again for a longer stay. I think I left a piece of my heart theređ„°
Mendenhall Glacier Helicopter and Dog Sledding
The best excursion was our helicopter trip to Mendenhall Glacier with the dog sledding experience. It was the highlight of an amazing Alaskan cruise. Anthem of the Seas is a great ship and my favorite of the RCCL fleet.
Shannon always makes booking our cruise a breeze!
Most travel agents shy away from booking casino offers but not Shannon. The attention Shannon gives to the details is appreciated.
