Great Work!

Phil does a great job of finding wonderful trips at the right price. They know what they're doing and they're fun and friendly too! :)
Philip Doyle responded
"Thank you, Gary. We do understand budgets and can work with almost anyone's vacation budget. The only vacation that is a better value than cruising is going to visit Grandma! Remember that I have great airfare pricing too."

Phil takes care of the details
Reviewed By Benchwarmer - Spring Arbor, MI | Traveled to Canada
Phil really goes the extra mile for his clients: finding a good cruise, getting the right cabin, taking care of the details. He and his lovely wife are delightful cruise hosts, too. I hope we can cruise with them again sometime!
Philip Doyle responded
"Essential to planning the details is first-hand experience. After 65 cruises, I tend to know what the highlights are and also what can go wrong. If I can save a client from the potential bad experiences, I have earned their repeat business. It is always a pleasure planning a trip for your family."

Our best trip: Azamara Journey—Greek islands
Reviewed By Bill - Fort Lauderdale | Traveled to Greece ~ Europe
We have booked multiple cruises with hotels and air using Phil. He is the consummate professional. He is knowledgeable and prompt and attends to every detail and follows up.
Philip Doyle responded
"Carol and I LOVE first-time cruisers that we can share our experience with. Cruising is the best vacation value anywhere. It is the best when new cruisers have an excellent experience. The text you sent me from the Greek Islands saying that you were having a great time made my day!"

It was a last minute decision to take a hotel in Athens Greece & Sail on the Royal Princess to Santorini. The ship also took us to three stops in Italy included the "Isle of Capri" and ended in Barcelona Spain ! Wonderful Itinerary ! The planning was effortless, we just told Philip Doyle what we were thinking of & he did all the work & fast !!! He dropped off all the confirmation papers to me & all we had to do was pack our bags & go. I would recommend Phil for all your travel needs & will use his service again myself for each & every trip I plan to take. Thank You Phil For a fabulous vacation !!
Sincerely, Terry ??

"I never started out to be a travel advisor, but after 35 cruises friends were asking for my advice and input and a business was born. I plan client's vacations with the same care and attention that I devote to my own trips. I ask a lot of questions so I can narrow the search to exactly the right selections. Thank you for the kind words."

Mr. Doyle made our cruise amazing.
Reviewed By Dan - Spring Arbor, Michigan | Traveled to Norway ~ Europe
We had an amazing time on the Norway cruise and Mr. Doyle threw in an amazing shore excursion that was one of the best parts of our cruise.
Philip Doyle responded
"I am so glad that you enjoyed the shore excursion that was provided by the Distinctive Voyages program. I try to direct clients to the DV program because of the extra no-cost amenities. An on-board host can add much value to the cruise experience. Your repeat business flatters me. Thank you so much."

Philip Doyle = Above and Beyond Service
Reviewed By TheGazz - Stamford, CT | Traveled to Atlantic Ocean ~ At Sea ~ At Sea
I connected with Philip through the Travel Agent Leaders Network. Philips interest and response were immediate. He provided a thoughtful and competitive quote with lots of added experiential tips. This itinerary included a Transatlantic Cruise for four people. Luckily for me - one of the eight quotes I received was from a travel agency that offered a group rate with lots of extras and it smashed the competition.
That being said, my personal preference would have been to go with Phil becasue of his tenacity and desire for my business. I am convinced that his service would have been above and beyond. I will surely contact Philip next time I am looking for travel plans. And I am not counting him out of this race either. He may come up with something better before my final deposit is required!!!
Philip Doyle responded
"I am blushing. I have a boutique travel business and tend to only work with a few clients at a time. This, plus my personal travel experience, makes it possible for me to listen carefully and respond with timely and reliable information. As you discovered, pricing doesn't usually vary that much, but service level can vary a lot."

Philip went above and beyond to make sure our first cruise was a memorable one. He made sure we were fully prepared before we boarded the ship. I would use him again and recommend his service to everyone without reservation.
Philip Doyle responded
"Thank you so much for your kind words. As you know, first-time cruisers are my favorite. I look back to our first cruises and wish I had known more from the beginning. Carol and I thought we might be presented with a check for dinner. Helping clients get the most from their FIRST cruise is rewarding for us."

Philip always finds the best cabins and deals!
Reviewed By FloridaFox - Hillsboro Beach, Florida | Traveled to
Philip has first-hand knowledge about the cruise lines and the right size ship that will fulfill your needs. He always has tips on the biggest rooms and best perks available for each destination. He has been able to match any advertised price, and offer much better service. He always follows up, and offers you insider hints on the best port activities for each traveler. He keeps current on all the latest ships that debut from each cruise line, and finds you the best value. He takes the time to listen to exactly what you want out of a future cruise and tailors his response to these needs- no canned, factory answers or pressure to book a cruise that they want to push on a given day. I will never book another cruise on my own-without his
input, Thank you, Phil for all the time you spent on our wonderful vacations!
Philip Doyle responded
"I learned years ago that relationships often start based on price, but develop based on service. I always appreciate the chance to do the research and present choices that match the client's vacation plan. Your praise makes me blush...."

Philip and his wife are extremely knowledgable and always go the extra mile to find us the best deals. My family and I have been using Philip's services for years and will continue to do so. Philip is always a pleasure to speak to and has the best recommendations. Now that I am retired, my wife and I are able to travel a lot more than we used to and Philip is always there to help us plan everything we do step by step. What we love about Philip is that he is also very responsive, that is something that is very rare nowadays. A++++ service
