The Perfect Vacation For Us
Reviewed By Donna - Appleton, Wisconsin | Traveled to Bimini Islands | Bahamas | Caribbean
Pauline set up the perfect vacation for us on a Virgin Voyages cruise. I enjoyed everything we did and seen. The people who we met on the cruise were extra nice and they helped me with everything I needed for my accessibility. The meals were all very good, Pauline reserved the restaurants for us, I loved the test kitchen a lot! The Galley had all kinds of food and drinks and the helpers were great! It was always clean, our room was clean and a nice size (accessible sea terrace). The drinks were refreshing and the shows were entertaining. All around great vacation, I would enjoy doing it again and recommend Pauline to pick out the vacation that fits whatever you’re looking for!

Cancun (El Dorado) was great!
Reviewed By Group of Four - Fond du Lac, WI | Traveled to Cancun | Quintana Roo | Mexico
It is tough to keep everyone (ages 19, 21, 50, & 55) all happy. El Dorado (Seaside) was what we expected and more. Pauline (agent) was very attentive and helpful when we needed her.

It was an amazing and worry free vacation!
Reviewed By Roger - Wisconsin | Traveled to Turks and Caicos Islands | Caribbean
Working with Pauline was the best decision we could have made. From the initial booking as well as the hotel stay the night before - it was 100% worry and stress free. She took care of everything. I had some last minute questions and she answered them almost instantly. We had a snow storm that caused planes to be grounded, so we called her and she had us booked on a flight before we hung up the phone.
