Great Trip to Lancaster/DC Trip
Reviewed By Don - Zeeland MI | Traveled to Lancaster ~ Pennsylvania ~ USA
We had a great trip to Lancaster PA and Washington DC thanks to the work of Lisa who was great to work with. Hotel recommendations were excellent. Stayed in Alexandria while in DC and the hotel was right across the street from the Metro. Other than some things out of her control, the trip went very well.
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

First trip to Alaska, won't be the last!
Reviewed By Heather C - Zeeland, MI | Traveled to Alaska ~ USA
This was our first cruise, and I had a lot of "rookie" questions. Lisa was quick to respond and make accommodations with the cruise line for us! I felt like all I needed to do was pack and show up!
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

My Active & Discovery itinerary included Lyon, Avignon, Viviers, and Tain L’Hermitage. Along the way, ...

MSC Seashore!

MSC Seashore

  MSC is a "new to me" cruise line and I was excited to experience sailing on MSC's Seashore in December 2024.  It's a European owned cruise line that has been making significant changes to meet the preferences of the American cruisers sailing from the US.
