Luxury Cruise Specialist

Rosemary booked our Greek cruise this past October. Had lots of suggestions on where to visit, what to expect as it has been many years since we have cruised. Lots of helpful travelling hints, information on different cruise lines. Very knowledgeable.

Small boat, only 28:passengers which we loved. Our guide was excellent. He explained each day what the bike ride entailed. Food was delicious.

The cruise was well organized by our agent Rosemary and we travelled without a hitch Would recommend it to anyone wanting to cruise and explore the Greek islands!

This was my husband and my first mediterranean cruise with Celebrity and working with Rosemary. It was a 9 day cruise, visiting Italy, France and Spain. Rosemary was very knowledgeable in her recommendations and they were exactly what we wanted from hotels (2 days in Rome prior to boarding ship), great room located on the ship (8th Floor near elevators) and 2 days in Barcelona after the cruise. All hotel accomodations were well located in Rome and Barcelona and came with breakfasts. Overall our experience working with Rosemary was terrific and we wouldn't hesitate to book our next adventure with her.

We have booked cruises via Rosemary many times for over 12 years: we have referred a number of family and friends too. Rosemary is responsive, insightful and reliable.

Very knowledgeable, enthusiastic and helpful planning our cruise!

Rosemary booked the recent California Coastal cruise that we just took and was able to find a group tour to book us in that saved us a lot of money. She has booked many cruises for us in the past as well as private group tours.

Rosemary has always proven to be knowledgeable and helpful when planning vacations.

she's very helpful and knowledgeable about the cruises. She's very, very friendly and answer all the questions that we asked and gave us a hassle free trip.

I find Rosemary to be very knowledgeable and fun to work with. I have booked numerous trips with Rosemary and have not had any problems at all.

I have worked with Rosemary for many years. She has always been attentive, knowledgeable and helpful.

I have been working with rosemary for over 15 years for the numerous cruises and resort vacations for my family and I. She is very detailed with every booking, she is genuine and trustworthy and on top of any concerns I may have.

Rosemary makes it easy for me, she does all the work! My busy schedule does not allow me time to research, so she arranges all the details with great taste and caring. She knows her stuff !

Rosemary is the Best. Always helpful, always suggesting the best things to
do while on our cruise. We have used her services for years and wouldn't go anywhere else.

So pleasant to work with; professional but friendly and patient ...no matter how many questions!

Rosemary has organized many trips for me over the past few years. The last trip was a combination of land and cruise components. There were no issues for me to resolve as the arrangements were thorough. I have not ever encountered a major issue when Rosemary makes the arrangements. She always provides me with complete details, alternatives for my consideration and is prompt to reply to any questions or requests. I recommend her.

Rosemary is thoughtful and knowledgable when we plan our family cruise vacations. She has made our many cruise bookings effortless and the trips are truly amazing, we start planning the next one before the current one is over!!

I have been using Rosemary for about 10 years. She came highly recommended by a trustworthy friend and she has never let me down. I can get a quote, request additional information, find a tour and book everything necessary for a big trip. She is amazing! I have recommended and will continue to recommend Rosemary too all of my friends.

Rosemary helped us plan a cruise on short notice, coordinating the needs of two families. She provided suggestions for appropriate family friendly lines, and managed to accommodate our requests for room locations, even though there were limited options at the time. She looked after everything: dining reservations, coordinating show reservations with dining times, booking special experiences on tha ship for the family. All of this could have been done online by us, but she went right ahead and booked it all. She also went ahead and did our online checkin, printing luggage tags and boarding documents. In this day of online self-service (which is what I usually do ), it was a pleasure and a treat to have Rosemary take the initiative to look after all the details for us. In fact, other travel agents we've had in the past will book the cruise but then send us to the website to book our dinners etc. Rosemary took an interest in us as people, not just clients. She is a real people person. I look forward to booking more vacations with her.

Rosemary really knew the detail on our Scandinavia /Russia cruise.Was able to give unique information that helped in several areas .Most important was the organizing of the Russia component , we ended up with a car , driver , and guide , all very economic . We covered more in 2 days , than anyone could have in 3 days .And the complications of being in Russia were all taken away. We are very experienced Europe travellers , and can do many things ourselves , but Rosemary filling in the holes in our experience was great.

Rosemary was very helpful and efficient in looking at options that satisfies our needs and made sure all the details are looked after.

Rosemary is a very passionate, friendly and capable agent with many years of experience in the travel industry. She is helpful, really easy to talk to and she is full of exciting ideas about specific cities and destinations from her personal travels. I would recommend Rosemary's services to all of my friends and family and I would definitely use her again for personal travel needs.

I had Rosemary plan over 10 cruises and I am delighted to have a chance to give feedback about her service. Rosemary is above all competent and effective, and so pleasant to work with. She doesn't forget any detail. We had Rosemary book hotels, limos and side trips for us, and we were always pleasantly surprised at not having to deal with any delays or glitches. We had to change dates and flights through the years, even this Spring, and she always made it happen. From my very first cruise, Rosemary was a delight to work with.

Rosemary is efficient and knowledgeable in the travel business, she is very friendly and helpful; for our last River Cruise, because of the timing of our booking, she stayed beyond her normal working hours in order to ensure our travel related booking is well taken care of. When we have questions during our trip, Rosemary responded to our requests promptly - excellent customer service!

There's a reason why Rosemary has been booking our cruises for almost 20 years - she always goes the extra mile and thinks of everything that will make the trip special. I know whatever the issue, Rosemary is ready, willing and able to help. Nobody does it better!

"top notch " every time I have contacted and booked vacations
great research to provide options to what I want .... R.B listens to me and finds the cruise that "fits" me . She has great recommendations and I have never had a bad cruise

THE BEST, Happy Wife Happy Life ---Rosemary makes me look great.

Excellent and a pleasure to work with for all phases of our trip

Rosemary has years of experience and she has been helping me plan my trips for over 10 years. She is very knowledgeable about destinations and tour operators (tours, cruises, etc.). She is a great problem solver if you encounter any hiccups. And she is always there to answer your questions - no matter how trivial they may be. I do all my trip planning with Rosemary over the phone and via email. I would not plan a trip without her!

Have been dealing with Rosemary for a couple of years and have found her to be of great assistance, available for any questions and a pleasure to deal with. Have recommended her to many friends and neighbours.

Rosemary has been my cruise specialist for over 18 years. She has taken the time to get to know my wife and me so that she can work with us in ensuring that our trips are always exceptional, whether we're looking for lots of site-seeing or simply getting away for some R&R. Rosemary can take care of all the details to the point where all we have to do is arrive at the airport for departure and everything from there on is taken care of.

Rosemary Bartello provided not only recommendations and booking arrangements for our recent 10-day Splendours of Sicily cruise aboard Windstar's Star Legend, but also tons of invaluable travel advice about how to get the most out of our stay in Italy. She was instrumental in transforming our vague idea of an autumn Mediterranean trip into a detailed 3-week travel plan with almost everything pre-booked. This allowed us to completely enjoy every moment without having to waste time planning our next excursion / tour / transfer / hotel. She passed on so much local knowledge - everything from where to get the best value for quality leather goods in Florence (and how to get there!), how to navigate the ItaliaRail train system, to where to find Rome's best hazelnut gelato. This was our second trip booked with Rosemary and it will certainly not be our last.

Rosemary offered many suggestions and tips on how to get the most out of our vacation. She took time with us to answer our questions and we weren't rushed to make decisions.

Smooth, pleasant, and professional from start to finish!
Cruise was exciting!

Rosemary has worked with myself and my wife for many years and has been instrumental in organizing a number of cruises, and hotel arrangements surrounding the cruise itself. She has been very responsive to our interests and has made several great suggestions that has made our cruising life significantly better. I cannot think of anyone I would have organize a cruise other than Rosemary. Very knowledgable. A pleasure to work with.

Rosemary is wonderful to plan a cruise with - she has arranged three cruises for us. She translates her knowledge and experience to tailor a perfect trip - cruise and pre/post cruise. Perhaps most importantly she is guided by your needs and wants and advises options which you probably would not have otherwise considered. Has always met or exceeded expectations.

very good

Rosemary is a very congenial and knowledgeable travel agent that starts the planning process of a trip on the right foot - fun and stress-free! She gets us the best itinerary for what we are looking for, but also the best value, which keeps us coming back again, and again. She responds back to us quickly on all of our questions, which we very much appreciate. The other part that we very much appreciate, is that when Rosemary is away (e.g on vacation), she has a person who reviews her e-mails and calls to ensure that her clients are covered in her absence. Rosemary came recommended to us, and now we are recommending her to others, and we look forward to working with her on many more future vacation plans.

Rosemary has been our go to person when thinking about a cruise. This can be taking a cruise in Europe, Asia, Australia or South America. All of them have been successful and flawless as far as organizing is concerned.
