Officially only using Lori forever!
Reviewed By SherbyDerby - Oviedo, FL | Traveled to Caribbean
I love taking cruises, but my last few experiences were subpar. When I was planning our cruises myself, I always felt like I got taken advantage of somehow, or otherwise missed out on the best experiences—usually because I wasn't fully in the know about our ports of call or the cruise line itself. Thankfully, I met Lori! Lori regularly cruises herself and I felt like I had someone "on the inside" for once! She made sure we got a suitable deal for what we wanted and were willing to spend, and she steered us towards the cruise lines that were the best fit for the things we value most on our cruises. She didn't just guide us what to do, she advised us what NOT to do. Our safety and enjoyment were her top priority. We definitely had out best cruise experience yet with Lori at the helm of our planning. It felt like I was cheating on a test, she made everything so much simpler for us! The peace of mind Lori added to our cruise was priceless. I cannot recommend her enough, and I will *never* book a cruise again without Lori.
Lori Maldonado responded
"Dear Sherry, thank you for the incredibly kind words! It was such a joy to help your family. I am thrilled that having an "insider" took the stress out of the process for you. I always want my clients to feel like they are in the loop and totally prepared, rather than overwhelmed. Knowing you felt like you had a "cheat sheet" for your vacation is the best compliment I could ever receive! I am already excited to help you navigate your next big adventure. Thank you for trusting me! ~ Lori"
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.
