Margaritaville cruise
Reviewed By Hairnudt - Reading, Pa | Traveled to Key West | Florida | USA
So I was on a cruise about 10 yrs ago. It was not the best travel experience I’ve had but I was also in a strange time of my life so I decided to give it another shot. Talked to Kim about it & decided lets do it! Totally different experience than last time! We had such a nice time! From the food to the shows to the pools on deck & to the friends we went with, Kim was amazing with our travel plans. Everything was in order & pretty easy. She is always available for questions & answers & will lead you to the experience that you want! Happy vacationing!!

Jamaica 2025
Reviewed By Chuck - Shoemakersville, Pa. | Traveled to Jamaica | Caribbean
Travel arrangements planned well by Kim. No rushing on travel days. Resort was beautiful, staff was extremely friendly. Food was OK, nothing outstanding. Long waits at the restaurants, but plenty of other options to eat and drink. Nightly entertainment was great. Convenient shuttle service from place to place on the resort. Overall we had a great time and would do it again.

Client Testimonials

Iceland Trip!
We had a great time. The weather was not too good for the first 2 days but after that it was nice. Our off road trip was canceled due to the weather and our yacht cruise was a bust because of the weather. We walked around Reykjavik while we were there and the hotel was nice but a little noisy at times. I guess that is to be expected because of being in town. The Ranga hotel was beautiful and the staff were fantastic. I would recommend it to anyone going to Iceland. The helicopter ride was great and the pilot was the best. We made it to the black sand beach. And to the ice cave. We were able watch the northern lights 2 nights. It was a great trip we are very thankful for your help. I will send people your way.

Celebrity cruise to Bermuda
We just got home. Smoothest exit ever. Trip rating, A+. Turns out our cruise to Bermuda was one of the best vacations either one of us ever had.

Princess Cruise/New England-Canada
My partner and I contacted Kim to assist us in finding a cruise out of New York going north to Canada. It was a late booking so accommodation choices shipboard were limited. I have extensive cruise experience, my partner did not so cabin choice was up to me. Kim found the Emerald Princess out of Brooklyn NY, departure Oct 28. The Princess website is not user friendly but Kim is. We were back and forth with questions. Some she was able to answer, some she called Princess and got back to us right away. She was very firm on " no question is unimportant". We arrived at the port and were in our cabin in 25 minutes. That was the best embarkation experience for me ever. For the most part we enjoyed our cruise experience on the Emerald Princess. I contacted Kim when we returned state side to share our observations. Kim listened. We will not sail with Princess again but we have Kim looking for our next travel experience. She clearly demonstrates. An understanding of our travel needs. Viki G
