Cruising with Royal Caribbean

Julie assisted my family with booking our first cruise ever. She did an amazing job. She answered all of our questions and gave us her recommendations, since this was our first cruise. There was a group of 9 of us and we all had rooms with balconies that we could open and connect to each other. I highly recommend contacting her for any vacation needs. We will definitely use her again.

Julie planned the perfect Disney Cruise for our family and took all of the stress out of the planning. She gave us so many suggestions, details and helps along the way. The trip was the most memorable ever thanks to Julie!

Our recent trip to Margaritaville Cap Cana, Dominican Republic was amazing! This is the 3rd time we've booked with Julie, and she never disappoints! She always provides us with several options to choose from to make our trip perfect. She is always available to answer any questions and makes our travel itinerary easy to navigate. We never worry about the details, because she takes care of everything, and takes the stress out of the process.

Our family had a wonderful time at Disney. We were so pleased with everything that you did for us. The resort, the dinning plan, the fast passes all worked so well for us.

Dan and I were also pleased with your help with the travel and transportation. It was a very easy and 'no stress' vacation.

Our adult children and the grandchildren loved the special touches and all the memories we made during our time there.

We will be happy to recommend you to anyone that is thinking about planning a Disney vacation.

We had a fantastic trip. We appreciate all of the help navigating our first Disney experience. Your insight into the fast pass and meal plan programs saved us a lot of time. Thanks again.

I wanted to take this opportunity to thank Julie Gizzi for all of the help she provided as we prepared for our first trip to Disney World with the family. It is no exaggeration to say that we really had no idea how to plan such a big vacation, but Julie helped with suggestions, setting up a schedule, booking reservations, and overall just making sure we experienced as little stress as possible. Now that we have completed our Disney Experience, I can say that it was, indeed, a magical experience. Thank you, Julie, for everything you did!

We had an amazing trip and every detail was perfectly planned and executed. The weather held and the privilege package recommendation was worth the upgrades! Your honest recommendations and attention to detail made our trip so much more enjoyable and less stressful. We certainly look forward to working with you again and will continue to recommend you to others.



Thank you again – your commitment to customer service and patience is second to no one!

Not only does Julie do Disney, but she does Royal Caribbean cruises too! I have never been on a cruise, let alone booked one, so I left it up to a professional. Julie found us the perfect cruise at a great rate, and she also took the time to email lots of helpful tips and call to walk through them. I feel strongly this will be a wonderful vacation and know Julie is to thank for that!

We have used Travel By Design for our last 2 trips to Disney. Our first trip to Disney World before we were given Julie's name was not good and we were very weary about going back. After contacting Julie for our vacation last year, she took away all the stress from planning another trip. We had such a great time on that trip, we went again this year. We just got back from our second trip that Julie has planned for us and it was another AMAZING experience!! Julie takes care of all the minor details I wouldn't even have thought of. With 3 small children, that is one of the most appreciated things. She is always readily available to answer questions, quick in response time, and very easy to talk to . Thank you Julie and your team for helping to make our family some of the best memories!!!!

This is our second trip to Disney and Julie was so incredible in planning our first trip to Disney that we didn’t hesitate to ask her to plan our return trip! She makes it all so easy!!!

I could go on and on and on about how much Julie has rocked several Vacations for me over the years.

She has helped plan several cruises for us. Including one on Carnival where we were stranded an extra day in St. Maarten and had to fly back. Julie was there to help the process go smooth and answer our questions when things went south. She has helped save a ton of money on many cruises also.

Julie also jumped at the chance to help us plan our Vegas Wedding. Not to mention the 20 plus people that flew out there to celebrate with us. She planned Hotels and Flights for most of us and tried to keep us all together even though we were flying there from several different states. She made it all run smooth and took that burdon away from us.

I've sent a ton of people her way and they are all very appreciative of that. Nothing but great things to say about her and her agents. I'll continue to do it every time.

Julie G. has been so incredibly helpful in planning our Disney World vacations! She has thoughtfully guided us in resort selections, taking into account the needs of our growing family. Both times we have planned trips with her, she has helped us to save money by enabling us to take advantage of promotions as they were released for our planned stay.

She is incredibly knowledgeable about the dining system and fast-pass system. It is overwhelming to realize how difficult it can be to get dining or fast pass reservations. She has helped us to prioritize our “must-do’s” and have realistic expectations about what rides and reservations we might be able to get throughout or trip. This has really helped us to thoughtfully schedule our park days and ensure that we accomplish all that we hoped to over our trip. Having a stress-free trip truly enables us to have a magical time. Thank You, Julie!

We had put off planning a Disney trip for years because we were intimidated by all the advanced planning. A friend introduced us to Julie and our worries disappeared. We recently returned from our first trip (with 3 kids!) and we couldn’t feel luckier. Julie was patient, listened to what we were looking for, respected our budget, took control and made all the plans for us. She guided us with helpful suggestions and was available for my many questions every step of the way. I have sung her praises to anyone who will listen and we are already planning our next trip! Julie is pleasant to talk to, fun to swap stories with and was even available during my recent vacation. Having someone like Julie in our corner really did allow my family to enjoy the most magical place! My family and I are grateful for Julie and are looking forward to many fun Disney adventures in the years to come.

Travel By Design has been booking my vacations for about the last 7 years. Each adventure has started with Julie and ended with Julie. Not only when booking with Julie does she provide detailed information, but she also follows up, after the trip to make sure it went smoothly.
Julie recently booked my honeymoon in Quintana Roo, Mexico at Secrets Playa Mujeres. It was a dream honeymoon. I can't speak highly enough about the trip. I felt like some sort of celebrity from the time we arrived until we left! However-none of that would have been possible with out Julie's attention to detail and her knowledge when it comes to booking!! One of my favorite things when booking with Travel By Design, is how personable they are each and every time. I can't wait to book my next trip!!

We were referred to Julie Gizzi by a close friend and she has been our go to for all of our travel for the past 2 years. Julie is prompt in responding, is very honest, very knowledgeable, and is patient with me asking 1000 questions. I look forward to when we can contact her to book our next Disney trip.

Julie is the best! Our trip to Universal was fantastic and Julie made sure everything was so smooth. I highly recommend her. She is very knowledgeable about the parks, hotels, restaurants and I loved not having to do all of the research myself.

We were referred to Julie while planning our honeymoon in 2016. We have used her for EVERY trip we plan since then. Her attention to detail is top notch, gives great recommendations based on her personal experiences, and communication is always very timely and informative. We refer all of our family and friends who are looking to plan vacations to Julie because we are so thrilled with the services she provides. Thank you so much for always helping us plan the best vacations!

Loved working with Julie. She quickly responds to emails and takes care of any issues in a timely manner. She is really knowledgeable and honest with her recommendations when planning trips.

I was referred to Julie by a local moms group when I was inquiring about a Disney vacation. This was my husband and daughters first trip, and I had not been in several years. Julie was very kind, attentive, and easy to communicate with from beginning to end. She is well educated on Disney and it's ever changing policies and we felt very prepared because of this. The trip went smoothly and a lot of memories were made. I have used Julie for returning to Disney and All Inclusive trips since our initial vacation. I highly recommend you use her services as well.
