Mandy helped plan and organize an Alaskan cruise for our group of 20, which included multiple families and generations. As first-time cruisers ourselves, there was a lot to learn, and we had plenty of questions about both the cruise line and our Alaskan destinations. Throughout the many months of planning, Mandy was incredibly knowledgeable, patient, and generous with her time, often sharing and resharing information as we worked through all the details. She was extremely attentive and responsive, and we could almost always count on hearing back from her the same day when questions came up. What we appreciated most was that Mandy went beyond simply providing the facts. She was always willing to share her personal recommendations and perspective, which helped each family navigate decisions and choose what would work best for them. Mandy will provide you with all the resource materials needed to help inform as you make selections. Mandy is clearly passionate about travel and about helping people make the most of their experiences and memories. We are so grateful for all of her help in making our first cruise such a memorable one and would highly recommend her to anyone planning a trip!

The cruise was great! The mountains, wilderness, and wildlife in Alaska are beautiful. Mandy was wonderful to work with. She was super helpful and responsive to all of our questions and concerns. We would most definitely use her again on future cruises.

I have never used a travel agent before - I enjoy planning my own travel. But for this trip I needed one as we were traveling overseas with a large group. Mandy helped every step of the way - including fixing multiple steps I messed up! I cannot thank her enough!!!

We originally booked our Alaskan cruise 2 years in advance. Mandy picked great rooms, and she responds quickly if you have any questions. When we had issues with our flights (which I set up on my own) she gave me advice to resolve the problems. I'm always impressed with how quickly she responds. Her knowledge about the airlines and various cruise companies is always helpful.

Words fall short of the wonderful RCL Alaska cruise that we experienced, one of the best trips of our life. Huge credit to Mandy and her wonderful team for helping us not only book the cruise, but constantly guiding us over last few months on how we can have a smooth and very best experience, each agenda item meticulously tracked by her. We are absolutely looking forward to our next cruise with Mandy and will share with all our friends as well. THANKS MANDY!!!!

We enjoyed Alaska in all the stops!

Mandy is a life saver! We were planning our first cruise and totally overwhelmed by the information, details, and options for cruises. One email followed by a phone call to Mandy had us booked within 48 hours on our first cruise! She listened to our ideas and what we wanted in our cruise. She found outstanding options and was so efficient in booking our cabins. Leading up to our cruise, she provided valuable information that made packing, embarkation, cruising, and disembarkation easy and seamless. I HIGHLY recommend working with Mandy!!!

I typically don't use travel agents for our travels because I like planning things. However, I became connected with Mandy over her Facebook group and decided to take a chance and have your help us plan our family cruise vacation. It was a wonderful experience form the beginning. I most appreciated her responsiveness to any and all questions throughout the process, even up to the day before travel. I was also pleasantly surprised that her pricing for the cruise was better than the "deals" I could get online thru Royal, even with picking our locations with connecting rooms. We have the cruise bug now and will be going again soon!

- Mandy has helped my family with 5 cruises. We just returned from our first river cruise, on the Danube river with AmaWaterways from Budapest to Vilshofen. - Mandy listened to what our family was looking for and recommended Ama because she knew they were a great fit for a multi-generational group. She arranged for room upgrades for each of us and made sure the rooms were together on the ship. - We decided at the last minute to add a pre-cruise land tour of Budapest. Even though we were past the deadline to join, Mandy called Ama directly and was able to get us added: a lifesaver! - Thanks to her advice, we knew to sign up early for special dinners on board and got our first choice. Ama doesn't tell you that you can do this right after you board, but we knew because Mandy made sure to tell us. - Mandy's knowledge, firsthand experience and connections can't be beat. We'll continue to use her for every future cruise!

Mandy was always available no matter where she was

I cannot say enough wonderful things about our travel agent! Traveling with young children can be challenging, but she made the entire experience so much easier. One of the things I appreciated most was her ability to secure side-by-side cabins for my mom and me, which was invaluable when traveling with the kids. Not only were our rooms next to each other, but the location on the ship was absolutely perfect—convenient, easy to navigate, and ideal for a family vacation. Her attention to detail truly made a difference in our overall experience. What impressed me the most, however, was her responsiveness. Anytime I had a question, she was quick to answer and always available when I needed guidance. Having someone so knowledgeable, attentive, and accessible gave me peace of mind before and during our trip. If you're looking for a travel agent who genuinely cares about her clients and goes above and beyond to make sure every detail is handled, I highly recommend her. We had an amazing vacation, and much of that is thanks to her exceptional service!

I’ve known Mandy since high school. She has booked multiple cruises for our family and all have been amazing. She is the kindest and most knowledgeable cruise vacation planner you will find. I recommend her to people all the time.

Mandy was just amazing, super thorough, she made sure we had everything prepared. Our first cruise was extremely smooth and memorable. We’ll definitely be reaching out to her again to plan our next cruise!

Mandy was exceptional in helping us book and plan for one of the best vacations we've ever taken on a Disney cruise! She was attentive to our needs and wants for this vacation and helped us every step of the way.

Had a good experience working with Mandy and have used her multiple times for our vacations. The planning process was smooth, communication was easy, and everything was handled efficiently from start to finish. This sailing on Freedom of the Seas was a great girls trii trip overall. The ship never felt overly crowded, embarkation and debarkation were both surprisingly easy, and even with some rain and rough seas during the trip, it really did not impact our experience much at all. We especially enjoyed the overall consistency of the Royal Caribbean experience. There were a couple small hiccups though. One was that our interior stateroom did not include a couch/seating area, which was not obvious to us from the room photos and made the space feel a bit tighter than expected. Another was that we were not seated alone for dining as we had requested and anticipated. However, that ended up being completely fine and we actually met some really fun people, including others who were just as obsessed with the FlowRider as we were! Overall we had a very positive experience and appreciated Mandy’s help throughout the process. We will work with her again.

We had cruised on ocean cruise ships many times, Mandy helped us with a few of the more recent ones, so I consulted her when we were thinking about a river cruise. She helped us decide which company would fit for us best. She had personal experience on this cruise line, maybe even this ship which really was handy to answer my 100’s of questions. Mandy was available via email and phone pretty easily and even text when things were more time sensitive. We had a great cruise/tour and Mandy did a great job helping us make choices then doing the booking for us.

First cruise and we used Mandy to help us. She was great and made the process so easy.

Mandy did an amazing job guiding us in the right direction for our first cruise. We had a lot of questions before booking and she was great at answering every single one of them. The cruise she suggested was perfect for our group and provided excellent entertainment for all three generations in our family. This was our first cruise but definitely not our last.

Mandy has now helped us book over 20 amazing vacations. She goes above and beyond and this trip was no different.

This was our second booking with Cruise by Mandy but won’t be our last! Her help with booking and finding us a better room with better rate after we were already booked is just the best example of going above and beyond!! Plus, this time she helped us with a name change the week of our departure….while she was on vacation with her family! She is truly the best!!

We booked with Mandy through a referral from a friend of mine. We had a great experience and it was an easy process booking. We enjoyed our trip and very thankful for her experience and guidance!

Excellent service, food, cleanliness. Ship could use a few maintenence enhancements like mini golf area. No reason not to book ship.

Great time celebrating my granddaughter’s 3rd birthday! It was magical watching her enjoy Disney!

Still floating on a post-cruise high because WOW… that trip was absolutely incredible. From the moment we booked to the last sunset at sea, everything was seamless, fun, and full of memories we will talk about forever. Huge shoutout to Mandy @cruisebyMandy, our award-winning cruise specialist, who somehow always finds excellent pricing with the most phenomenal perks. We have booked several cruises with her, and every single one has been better than the last. Beautiful ships, unforgettable destinations, and experiences that feel way bigger than the price tag. If making memories, relaxing hard, and feeling spoiled while traveling is your thing, Mandy is your girl. Already dreaming about the next one because clearly we are pros at this cruising thing now! ???????

Mandy was incredibly easy to work with and set up a call with me right away to answer all my questions and get us booked for the right cruise. She is very knowledgeable about ships and the industry in general. She selected our room for us in a prime location near the elevators - not only quick access for getting around on the ship, but we got so much love in our Fish Extender! It was our girls favorite part seeing what goodies our fellow cruisers left for them. We had an issue with our dining times not being the same as our connected party - Mandy called right away and set it straight, she also let us know she was on top of the issue and it was resolved before we embarked! She gave us great tips on meeting characters to ensure we weren't waiting for too long. Mandy is already working on our next Disney cruise for us! Highly recommend!

Mandy helped us book our very first family cruise and answered all of our questions we had. We will definitely be calling her again! She made sure we knew all of the important dates/times to sign up for popular activities on board. We were even surprised with an on-board credit to extend the fun! Thank you!

Mandy booked us on Celebrity Eclipse for a six night cruise. Recommended room was perfect and the trip was effortless. Thanks Mandy!

Our family and friends were 1st time cruisers and knew nothing about cruises. Mandy was always helpful and quick to answer any questions we had. Appreciate all of the insights and tips! The cruise was amazing!

Mandy was very responsive and helpful with all my questions and needs pre cruise and I’m sure she would have been had I needed her during. She made the process very clear and simple. She went out of her way to make sure my questions and needs were met. I would highly recommend her.

We just completed a 31-night cruise with Regal Princess. We contacted Mandy as soon as we decided that wee would like to take this cruise. She immediately took care of everything we needed from that day, until embarkation. She arranged our reservation, transfers, and made several recommendations of places to visit while in port. She also gave us some invaluable tips regarding the Princess Transfer. :) We have had Mandy schedule several of our cruises over the past many years, and she has handled everything with ease. She is super-professional and knowledgeable about the cruising & touring process. We had such a wonderful trip! Thanks Mandy!!!

Mandy was awesome! She took care of everything for my cruise and made the whole process so easy. She kept me updated, answered all my questions, and made sure every detail was perfect. The trip went smoothly from start to finish — I couldn’t have asked for better help. Highly recommend her if you’re booking a cruise!

When I first reached out to Mandy about a New England cruise, we knew we specifically wanted Bar Harbor Maine. She did not disappoint! The whole New England/Canada cruise was amazing. The ship was beautiful, food was great and omg the views! It was by far the best ports we have seen! If you haven’t been to New England in the fall, check it out. Thank you Mandy for delivering us the amazing vacation we wished for!

We had a great trip, and Mandy helped make sure we had everything taken care of ahead of time to make the trip as easy and stress-free as possible. Her emails with tips and videos that help explain what to look forward to really helped ease our minds.

Trip was with 6 other couples and Mandy was very patient and attentive in answering all our questions and needs. High recommend her for your cruise vacations.

We had an amazing cruise from Fort Lauderdale to St Kitts, St Maarten, St Thomas, and Coco Cay on Royal Caribbean. Mandy is always able to provide advice on booking, answer questions, and provide recommendations. She even had a surprise waiting in our room. I’ve known her since high school and she’s THE BEST!

Our cruise was so good. The Royals Princess was a beautiful ship and everything ran really well. The crew was always upbeat and friendly and very accommodating. We had 12 in our party and we all had a great time.

The 7-day cruise on Holland America going southbound from Whittier to Vancouver was fantastic! Glacier Bay was beautiful, and the 3 port stops were perfect. Mandy recommended Talkeetna, which is north of Anchorage, for a few days, and it was relaxing to stay in a cabin by the river. We made the best memories.

Mandy was amazing to work with. I just wanted to take a moment to thank Mandy for planning such an amazing cruise for our family. Everything was absolutely perfect as it all exceeded our expectations. We had a wonderful time and made so many great memories. Her input and expert advice made the entire experience seamless and stress-free. Royal Caribbean service was amazing. We’re already looking forward to planning our next adventure with Mandy!

Thank you Mandy for ensuring our trip was a breeze! Well informed from start to finish. No surprises and very knowledgeable with excursions, ports, food options and entertainment.

We were looking for a short getaway to the Bahamas and Mandy delivered exactly that. Great communication, simple booking process and answered all of our questions. She helped us upgrade a few things prior to departure and steered us to the best value. Thank You!

After reaching out to Amanda about cruise guidance, she suggested a Celebrity Beyond trip! In our own planning we had not even thought about looking at Celebrity Cruises as we have enjoyed our past cruises with Royal Carribbean and Norwegian! I'm so thankful Amanda recomended our cruise on Celebrity Beyond! What a wonderful ship and amazing experience! Thank you, Amanda!!!

From the start of planning our trip, Amanda made sure every box was checked. She gave us tips on the best location to stay on the ship, making our balcony larger between the two rooms, which packages to pick on the ship, reminders on deadlines and packing lists for the trip. Her response time was immediate and definitely wanted our trip to be special. Thanks Amanda for helping us have the best ever!

Our recent cruise was the perfect ending to the school year and 18th birthday. We always have such a great experience when we book with Mandy. She is so "patient" and helpful to guide us through the process and decision making. I can always count on the best service from Mandy.

I contacted Amanda regarding a cruise on Royal Caribbean and she gave me some great recommendation's that we tried. I loved it and appreciate Amanda for her help to get a wonderful cruise.

Loved the cruise. Enjoyed Nassau. We all had a grand time on the beach. Wish we had another day there.

We are relatively new cruisers and just finished our second cruise in the last 8 weeks. First cruise was with our family - 10 people - and second cruise was just my spouse and me. Mandy helped us with all the arrangements on the first cruise, room location, dinner times, shows not to miss, and was great about reminding us about making reservations when the windows opened. We had an excellent time and all the arrangements and recommendations provided by Mandy were spot on! Plus, we feel the cabin pricing through Mandy was excellent. We signed up for our second cruise at the end of the first cruise. Again, Mandy was super-helpful selecting upgrades, room location and dinner options. We just finished this cruise and had another wonderful time. We will likely book another cruise soon and of course will book it through Mandy.

Mandy was super responsive and got us a great rate on our cabins! We plan to use Mandy again for our next cruise!

Mandy does an amazing job helping to book cruises. We have utilized her services 5-6 times. Her knowledge is unparalleled! She knows how to direct you to the best vacation of your life! Thanks Mandy!! You are amazing!

We had a great cruise on the Disney Wish. We have a ten-year age gap between our oldest and youngest kids and there was something for everyone on the boat. The ship was also very clean and the food was great!

It was the first cruise for my husband and our daughters, and we all had a great time! Mandy made the entire experience from start-to-finish easy, smooth, and fun! The emails she sent before cruising were always full of helpful tips and information.

Amanda is always so helpful and accessible when booking, planning and suggesting trips/options/excursions. We wouldn’t cruise without here!

We just recently returned from our trip to Canada and New England. Many thanks to Mandy for helping us have such a wonderful cruise. She always provides a ton of excellent advice and information so you can be prepared and ready for your entire trip. Her you tube videos highlight such important information. When I send her emails asking questions she almost always responds immediately. But if she should be unavailable, you get a return email stating exactly when she will be available and providing information on who you can contact should you need that help immediately. I would not plan any future cruises without first contacting Mandy for assistance. Thank you for everything you do to make our vacations always such fun!

Mandy was great to work with. The entire process was flawless. She sent updates and reminders which were very helpful. Thanks you for your great service and precise attention to all the details of our travels!

Went on my first cruise with my best friends of over 30 years and had a great time! Working with Mandy made it super easy to pick our cruise and book it. She gave great recommendations and even a credit to use on our cruise. Great experience and will do another cruise in the future!

Always a pleasure to work with.

Mandy is always so responsive. I appreciate how quickly she gets back, and the knowledge she has of so many different cruise lines. Always honest answers, and she gets a great deal for you. This cruise for us was very last minute, but we also have one booked for 2026 with our whole family--5 cabins!

Mandy did an excellent job advising us on our very 1st cruise! We celebrated our 25th wedding anniversary on an amazing Alaskan cruise! She picked the perfect itinerary and room to meet our needs. It was a wonderful, adventure filled, get away. Just what we needed!

Mandy was able to guide me to the best cruise line for the destination and experience we were looking for.

Personable. Thorough. Timely communication. Knowledgeable. .

Amanda knows her stuff she sent us on the best Alaska Cruise ever! Amanda was very attentive answering any questions I had and attending to any of our issues promptly!!

My husband and I met Amanda many years ago in Cabo while on vacation. She was so friendly and gave us reviews of different hotels while she was there. At that time we learned about her career and a cruise expert. I never forgot about her. When we finally made the decision to try cruising out for the first time, I immediately called Mandy! She guided me every step of the way advising me of things I never would have thought of on my own. We got 4 cabins and paid way less than if I booked direct with the cruise line itself! Our Celebrity cruise was incredible and I came home to plan our next trip with her to hopefully Alaska for next summer. Thanks again Mandy, you made our trip one of the most memorable ever :)

Amanda was amazing to work with. Our extended family of 9 had a tight budget and she exceeded our expectations. We also ran into some issues because of a hurricane and she stayed in touch through the entire process. My husband already wants to book another cruise. We had a blast and can't wait to book our trip for next summer. (Hopefully sonner 😀)

Mandy made planning and scheduling our trip so easy.

Mandy is wonderful to work with & was so helpful answering all of our questions! There was a group of 11 of us & she helped make it memorable!

Working Mandy is always a pleasure! She takes the time to explain everything and explain why one option is better than another. She is caring, kind, informative and always efficient! She gives us the assurance that we have made the best choices we could! Knowing someone "has our back" is so comforting! I can't imagine booking a cruise without her! :)

We are so happy to have Mandy as our travel agent! We were new to RCCL and didn’t really know where to start. Mandy helped us with the itinerary we wanted, got us the great rates, and our rooms had the best location on the ship. Mandy is extremely professional and has TONS of useful information and tips. She is very responsive and easy to communicate, whether it is through emails or phone conversations. We had an amazing cruise, and Mandy has already booked another one for our family for the next year. Thank you Mandy!!

Amanda was helpful and patient with us every step of the way.

Amanda was knowledgeable and patient with me answering all of my questions.

Mandy is always prompt in replying, this is so important to me. She has a wealth of knowledge in many ports, even down to a shop to find slacks when British Airways lost our luggage!! Have used her for our last 5? cruises! One was our whole family, 4 cabins, to celebrate our anniversary. This time was to the Caribbean with 2 adult daughters. Great relaxing trip, and they got to experience snorkeling and the islands.

I have booked cruises on my own several times in the past. Never again! Mandy made planning our cruise vacation so much easier! She saved us money, found great rooms for our family that we were not able to get online, and sent us helpful tips and reminders as our departure date neared. We will use Mandy to book all of our future cruises! Thank you!

Mandy was very helpful and knowledgeable. This was my first cruise as an adult and it was overwhelming for me. Mandy had many helpful emails and videos and was always there to answer any questions. She booked us great rooms and set us up in a great location for our nightly dining. I would highly recommend her.

Mandy made our first cruise experience super easy from beginning to end. She provided a wealth of information and tips.
We couldn’t be happier with her services- and all at no cost to us! I highly recommend using Amanda to help you plan your cruise.

Mandy was fantastic! She was available and patient with me every step of the journey. I had never been on a Disney cruise before and she planned it all. I’ll definitely be using her again!

Amazing to work with. She made the process of booking our honeymoon so easy and we can’t wait to use her again!

I had an amazing experience with Mandy! She's attentive, knowledgeable, and always available for questions. Mandy goes above and beyond, providing personalized recommendations that exceeded my expectations. My recent trip was smooth and stress-free, thanks to her. I highly recommend Mandy and look forward to booking another trip with her!

Very responsive, knows cruise ships and all the best cabin locations. Great for general and specific travel tips.

Always a pleasure working with Mandy over the last 10 years! She has given us so many personal experience tips about a cruise destination we were going on.

Amanda helped us plan our last cruise and we are now in the process of the next three cruises with her assistance. She helped me plan a little surprise for my husbands birthday and always gives the best advice. She keeps her clients on schedule and always has their best interests at heart. She is not just an agent at this point, she is a good friend. I refer everyone to her that is planning a cruise. Thank you Mandy!

Mandy is the most helpful agent you could ever have. She works very hard to fulful your wants and needs and get you the best deal. Mandy, is on top of everything and answers questions quickly. and reliably.

Before Mandy was your cruise expert, she was always my travel information expert - started in 2008 with my first trip to St John.

Her research and knowledge of the places she has been and boats she has been on is immeasurable but her attention to detail and easy accessibility is what makes her my favorite travel expert.

outstanding availability, communication, knowledge.

Best experience in planning our first cruise that we brought along our 3 sons. You helped ease all my anxiety and made everything flawless! We're ready to book another!

I just finished my first cruise through Mandy. Mandy was very knowledgeable when I was trying to make a reservation for a short cruise for my sister and me. I welcomed her opinions and ideas for what we would like. She got us a good deal and our room, when they assigned it, was a little of an upgrade!
I’ve made another trip reservation with Mandys help for later next summer. I did enjoy working with Mandy, she’s very responsive via email and our phone call to have a little quicker interaction worked out good too.
Oh, and her recommendation of where to park was excellent!

Amanda was absolutely fantastic at not only providing us with excellent service, but locking in lower rates to accomodate our party. She was outstanding in providing an awesome experience for our entire family!
