Charles was professional, proficient, friendly, and made everything so easy. We had the BEST family vacation and his tips for the room, the food, the excursions, were all perfect. Everything he said was true and it made our birthday/anniversary trip a dream! I would definitely recommend him and will to everyone I know.

Amazing Service!!!
Reviewed By GaryG - Pensacola,fl | Traveled to Caribbean Sea | At Sea | At Sea
Charles, did a excellent job orchestrating our travels!
Next time my wife and I would probably want a cruise that allows us to stay in places for at least 2 days. So Charles is already working on finding us such a cruise...what service!!!
We had to change our initial cruise arrangement due the port we would've had to fly to and Charles and the staff made the change without any complications or hicups.
So from start to finish, Charles made sure he communicated with us what we needed to know, and places that we could connect with, such as parking, which made the whole processes smoother.
I would recommend services to friends who are looking for great customer service from a A to Z.
Thanks Charles,
Gary G.

Overseas Trip!
Reviewed By Mike - Milton, FL | Traveled to Ireland | Europe
Excellent customer service. Charles is responsive and will take the best care of you. He took care of some flights for us. We booked pretty far in advance and the airlines modified the itinerary to the point that it was not likely to make the connecting flight on the outbound leg. Charles was there every step of the way in case things didnt work out and fortunately everything worked out fine. Thinking about booking a cruise, Charles will be the man when we do.

Exceptional Cruise Planning
Reviewed By Cindy - Melbourne, FL | Traveled to Bahamas | Caribbean
I recently had the pleasure of working with Charles Painter at Beyond The Coast Travel to plan a cruise aboard Royal Caribbean’s Utopia of the Seas, and the experience was outstanding from beginning to end. From the initial planning stages, Charles was attentive, knowledgeable, and incredibly responsive. He took the time to understand my travel goals and preferences, offering expert advice on cabin selection, dining packages, and shore excursions. His recommendations were spot-on and helped elevate the entire trip. Leading up to departure, Charles provided regular updates, travel tips, and personalized checklists to make sure everything was in order. I felt well-prepared and supported every step of the way. Once onboard, it was clear that the trip had been perfectly tailored to our needs. From the smooth embarkation to the amazing excursions—especially our time at CocoCay—everything went off without a hitch. The ship itself was phenomenal, and the value Charles helped us get made it ev

Charles is an amazing agent. Very knowledgeable and helpful on our Carnival Glory cruise. Our trip would never have been so enjoyable without him. He arranged meals, events, helped with excursions. Having someone that already knows the ship is priceless. Thanks for everything you did for us. We got shirts too from him for our six person group honoring the cause. A+ in all areas.

No agenda trip!
Reviewed By Chuck - Milton, Florida | Traveled to Gatlinburg | Tennessee | USA
Last year, I had a trip planned for my anniversary gift for my wife. There was a last minute cancellation of this well planned trip!!
I was in deep trouble!
Picked up the phone called Charles for “HELP!”
Within 2 hours, he had me out of the dog house with a trip to Gatlinburg, Tennessee, at a mountain resort for Honeymooners.
Trip to the mountains was better than original trip that I planned.
Thanks Charles!
