Family and Couples Getaways
My husband and I have booked 3 cruises so for with Bonesteel Travel. They are very professional, organized and quick to book. Excellent at sending you the final itinerary and keeping up with excursions that may cancel for whatever reason. I do recommend you book in advance with summer approaching. Also, The Bonesteel's are great at finding the best rate. So the earlier you book is better. We will continue to use their services.

Happy Solo Traveler
I have been working with Melissa and no matter what questions I have, she has responded. I have asked her to see if she can find a particular cruise with only the Cruise Master’s name! Customer service is exceptional. Melissa seeks solo-traveler opportunities for me, offers suggestions based on my travel preferences and is formidable in representing me. I love working with her!

Melissa is very professional and has been through all of these travel plans many times over her extensive career in the travel industry. We have enjoyed working with her, and highly recommend her Bonesteel Travel Agency. She has lots of patience and is always positive, which helps calm me down if I don’t understand something that I need to do and need her assistance. Thank you, Melissa. We appreciate all you do for your clients!
