Star Princess Cruise
Reviewed By Judy - Dallas, Texas | Traveled to Alaska | USA
The Star Princess was larger than any princess ship we have done, but they managed the flow of people well. They had 4 shows going on at once so it was easy to find entertainment. They had modern electronic at the elevators so it only went to the floor people touch outside the elevator. The bathroom was very large for a cruise ship and it was a pleasure to take a shower. Our ship was sold out and we were worried about having 4,500 people. The food was good, but if you wanted lobster in the main restaurant it cost $24. On the last formal night they did have steak & lobster with out any charge. They also changed the buffet layout to one long line. It was a good experience.
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

Ireland
Reviewed By Jackie - The Woodlands, TX | Traveled to Ireland | Europe
Hi, we missed the connecting flight ( United’s fault) so have to wait 24 hours for the next flight, but they paid for the hotel, Lyft and food vouchers. The Eyre Square Hotel was beautiful, and in a perfect location to bus and excursions and the middle of Galway. The weather was perfect, only rained one day other wise cloudy/sunny. Flight home was great. We enjoyed our trip very much????

Windstar Cruise in Monaco F1 Grand Prix
Reviewed By Charles - The Woodlands, TX | Traveled to Monaco | Europe
Debbie, Holiday was very good, Monaco FI Grand Prix was great. Our comments: 1) Rome pre-hotel was great, excellent location, good services. 2) Windstar cruise was fine, not as good as Seabourn. Boat was dated, boat tours were average (we ended up canceling them after first tour). We would not travel Windstar again, but we had a great time.
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

Celebrity Edge in Alaska
Reviewed By Lynn - The Woodlands, Texas | Traveled to Alaska | USA
Thank you for asking. We loved the Edge. It is elegant and luxurious, and seemed just like the Beyond. We appreciated the fact that we seemed to have a lot in common with other passengers. Not a lot of kids, but the ones there were well behaved. The weather was rainy and cold in Ketchikan, just like it was when we visited 30 years ago! Skagway was having good weather, and Juneau was hot and sunny, but had been cold and rainy the day before. Reminded me of Texas weather. We didn’t take any tours, but talked to people who did, and everyone seemed happy with them. We saw some of the Edicott Glacier from the ship. Saw an eagle and both Orca and humpback whales from the ship. We weren’t satisfied with the Fine Cut Steak House. Didn’t think it was worth the extra money, but all other food was great. The best thing about Celebrity is the staff. They are totally committed to making your cruise perfect. They have a good customer/staff ratio. All in all, we had a fabulous trip.
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

Florida Keys
Reviewed By Nancy - Houston, TX | Traveled to Florida | USA
Debbie, Our trip could not have been any more perfect. The resort was beyond wonderful. There is a guard gate at the entrance any a fence around the whole property, so I felt comfortable letting the girls explore on their own. The room was beautiful with the balcony looking out to the ocean. The restaurants were fabulous. It really was a great time, Thank you so much for finding Isla Bella Beach Resort & Spa for us.
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.
