Europe Graduation Trip/Cruise 2022
Reviewed By Aunt El - Hamilton, OH | Traveled to Europe
I was very happy with the service provided by Stephanie. She booked a Mediterranean Cruise on Royal Caribbean's Wonder of the Seas, for myself, my niece & nephew, and my Mom, to celebrate my niece's high school graduation. Stephanie also booked the 4 of us on a land tour in Europe with Trafalgar Tours before boarding our cruise. We all had a great time on the cruise, and we loved the land tour as well! Stephanie was extremely easy to work with, responded to all emails quickly, and expertly answered all questions. I already have another cruise booked with Stephanie for my husband and I next year!

Highlights Tour in Rome: Personal Driver Guide
Rome was one of my favorite ports. One of the reasons why was having a personal tour guide for the day. A wonderful tour company in Italy drove us to the highlights, fast paced, so we could see as much as possible, including the Vatican. Having a driver/tour guide makes such a difference. Not every port needs one, but a place like Rome, it w...

Client Testimonials
Celebrity Retreat Cruises
Stephanie is truly amazing! Whether we have a cruise booked, on a cruise or are looking at future ones I know I can come to her with a question. We sail exclusively on Celebrity and she knows the cabin types like the back of her hand. Stephanie, thank you for always going above and beyond to make out trips amazing.
Daniel S.
Greek Isles Cruise
Wow! We have only cruised once and it was over 20 years ago. To say we were nervous about booking another cruise, in Europe no less, is an understatement. Stephanie was there to answer all of our questions when we were considering booking a cruise on Virgin Voyages. She booked our cruise, got us an A+ room location on the ship and booked our hotel for a two day beach resort after the cruise. Most importantly, she communicated to us throughout the process with reminders of passport readiness, reservation openings, show bookings and any other general deadlines we needed to be aware of. I always felt that if I had a question or a problem, the solution was a single phone call or email away. And to top it off, the experience on Virgin was so fantastic we are getting ready to book our next cruise through Stephanie!
