Carrie did a great job assisting me with what I was looking for with cruise options. I was impressed at how responsive she was through the process. It was stress free, and we were provided a ton of affordable options for cruising. I would use her again for any of my travel needs.

I live in So. Cal. my "New" Travel Agent lives in Maryland. That's because I could not find anyone around here that gives a darn about where I'm trying to go or how I get there. Carrie even from afar has worked tirelessly and patiently with me to plan the details of our 9-Day Caribbean Cruise vacation. I have been frustrated because I am technically challenged with web sites, e-mails, attachments, texts, loading Apps, etc. etc., all along she has worked to ensure my comfort level. I will definitely be working with Carrie to plan my next vacation!

Details: Vacation • 4 - 7 days • 3 - 5 people • 11 - 20 years old • 51 years old or older • Booking travel • Booking accommodations • Planning excursions • Boat / cruise • Travel dates are not known yet • Remotely (phone or internet)

Carrie was absolutely amazing! I highly recommend her as a travel agent because being a relatively new traveler myself, I was very uncertain and leery of making decisions for our entire group, but Carrie was so patient and very informative. She always presented us with several options and found us the best deals with hidden "perks'... Carrie was more than just a professional... she actually took time to hear what you had to say and find what you were looking for and she only has your best interests at heart not to forget at the best prices ever plus she responds so promptly... thank you Carrie! 😁

Renee, Thank you for the kind words. I love to plan cruise travel - whether it be for the novice or expert travel! I am here for you any time you need me! Carrie

FAQs

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
I understand that anyone could log into any cruise line and book their own cruise. However, many people can feel overwhelmed about the process - how to find the cruise, how to pick the right destination, which port to sail out of, and how to find airfare. I am about customers finding the right fit for them, and making sure they are happy with the service that is provided for them in planning their next cruise vacation. I can also help you find and plan an amazing all-inclusive, or trip to Universal or Disney. All of this, for free! I work for you and take the worry out without costing you more!
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
Brief text/email introduction- maybe even a call though not necessary with 5-10 key questions to understand exactly what you want with your cruise vacation. Within 2-3 days of putting together options, discussing feedback, and then proceeding to the booking, you and I will be communicating the whole way through until you are at your port of call, relaxing on your cruise ship or at your amazing destination. Could you book a cruise yourself? You you go online and book Universal too? Sure, but, by using my services, I may know some deals that you are not aware of, and I will work with you to get those deals and make your cruise as affordable for you as possible, all the way through final payment until you are on your next vacation and enjoying the destinations.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
