Amazing trip, just what we needed!
Reviewed By Stewart - lakeland, florida | Traveled to Caribbean
We wanted something special to celebrate my 60th birthday so Darrin suggested the MSC Yacht Club. It was perfect! We felt pampered having our own butler service, special dining, private lounge, pool area, and restaurant on the ship! We 100% recommend the MSC Yacht Club and Darrin!

Great Trip!
Reviewed By Kay S. - Tampa, Florida | Traveled to Cabarete | Dominican Republic | Caribbean
Darrin suggested an excellent trip for us. It was a little outside of what we would have planned for ourselves, but it was a great choice, and it turned out great! Darrin planned it, and made it all happen smoothly and without any hiccups! His suggestions were spot on and made for a wonderful experience!

Darrin created the best father and son trip!
Reviewed By Policari - Wilmington, NC | Traveled to Mexico
Darrin seriously created the best father and son trip ever! I created a challenge for him and he gave me multiple options and I couldn't be happier! My son and I had a blast on the margaritaville cruise! We did an excursion that was educational for both me and my 11 year old. Darrin did great by us and will be using him for our future getaways!
Darrin Wilson responded
"Thanks Gregg! Glad I was able to make you and your son some great memories! "

Client Testimonials
Thank You for a Great Anniversary Cruise!
We were looking to do something special for our 30th wedding anniversarry but we had no idea what to look for. We had cruised on Carnival and Royal before but we wanted something a little more "fancy" to celebrate. Darrin found us an AMAZING deal on a great cabin on the MSC Seashore Yacht Club that was both Luxury AND within our budget! We felt so special and it was a GREAT way to spend our special time! Thank You! We would have never found that cruise line or deal on our own!
Keisha S, Seffner FL
We Booked 3 Cruises with him in 2 months!
We had been on many Royal Caribbean cruises and when our son got older we decided we wanted to try some different cruise lines that are more "adult" centered instead of "kid" centered. Darrin found us a GREAT deal on Virgin Voyages and we decided to book another cruise with them in 2025 as well! Darrin found us sever bonus on board credit deals as well! He also found us an Amazing Deal for a more luxury cruise experience for our anniversary on the MSC Seashore in the Yacht Club! We look forward to booking many more trips with him in the future!
Maureen D, Davenport FL
Our 1st Cruise was great! Thanks Darrin!
We had never been on a cruise before and we wanted to do a short 4 day getaway to try it out so Darrin helped find the perfect one that fit in our time frame, our budget, and had everything we were looking for! He gave us a heads up on the dining, shows, excursions, and what to expect with boarding and de-boarding the ship! We had a great time and will use Darrin again for sure!
David D, Brandon FL
Easy Last Minute Cruise Booking
We were invited to join some friends for a 5 day cruise at the last minute and Darrin was able to find us a cabin very close to them and at a fantastic rate with some extras! We will be using him again for sure!
