Michelle was very easy to work with. Her pre-trip materials were excellent. She was always there for any questions.

Michelle responded to every email and offered help all along the registration process until I arrived at Red Rock Villa. The entire retreat was perfect. Meals were great and plentiful. The location provided exercise opportunities and places to just chill and read. If I could have designed the ideal retreat, this would have been it.

Just a small note to say thank you so much for all your hard work, dedication, attention to details, and all around fantastic trip. This was my first cruise, and a quilting one to boot, how could it get much better. You made it seamless for me with your assistance and patience in all my questions and concerns prior to the trip. Thank you for all the goodies, instructions, and most of all, your bright smiles and caring attitude. I truly appreciated everything you did.



Although this was my first cruise, I’m sure it will not be my last. I will definitely look you up when I’m able to take another trip.

Michelle's attention to detail in prep for the cruise is outstanding!

From the very first time I got in touch with Michelle about the Mystery Cruise she was wonderful and answered all my questions. I an handicapped and I needed a handicapped room on the cruise ship. I also asked Michelle about getting an electric scooter for me to use on board the ship and when I got off to see the sights at the different stops. She made all of the arrangements and my scooter was in my State room when I opened the door and was charged and ready for use. It was a wonderful cruise and I look forward to another one sponsored by Material Girls Quilt Boutique. All in all I would give Michelle the highest ratings for planning the trip to arranging the things I needed aboard the ship and making sure that everyone was having fun. I would definitely recommend Michelle to anyone looking for an agent to arrangement a trip for them.

Thank you Michelle for walking us through the cruising process. We had a great, deck, room and experience.

I want on a cruise on the Celebrity Beyond Nov 23-30, 2025. I had a great time. Michelle was a great travel agent that kept me informed about the cruise etc

We had an AMAZING time…honestly, the only hitch was outside of everyone’s control, as storm Floris prevented us from porting in Portree on the Isle of Skye. All that you arranged for us was just amazing. And we plan on having you help us with our next one, October 2027 to the Greek Isles. It’s already booked with Holland America and they tagged you so that you will handle the details… Best to you…and again, many thanks! Todd & Nancy

It was a great trip. I appreciated that there was flexibility the tour company had to include impromptu stops. The American Museum in Bath was OK but I would not recommend it again.

Michelle did a wonderful job, always ready to answer questions and very helpful. Thank you Michelle for the surprise Chocolate strawberries when we first boarded.

Great hotel, amazing golf courses, wonderful entertainment.

Michelle is the best. She assists with finding the vacation you are looking for and offers help with accommodations prior and post cruising. She sent us a packing planning book and information as to what to expect on the cruise! I’ve cruised many times but there was information I learned in her document! This was my 3rd cruise with her and I wouldn’t look to anyone else for planning and booking assistance.

From my first contact with Michelle until we arrived for the cruise, everything was taken care of by Michelle. If I had a question about something I would send her an email and she would respond very quickly. Once onboard Michelle was there for anything we needed. It was a quilting cruise and there were daily goodies from Michelle for the group. Very approachable and pays attention to every last detail. Gudron, Kirk and Scott also deserve shoutouts for making this cruise my most amazing trip. When I travel I miss quilting while I am away…..this was the best of both worlds! Already planning on booking another quilting cruise in 2027 (I have a busy schedule in 2026) and will be in touch with Michelle to book.

When looking to plan vacation via land, sea or air, Travel Adventures by Michelle better be your first contact. I first noticed Royal Caribbean’s cruise itinerary late 2022 and contacted Michelle immediately. It was RCL’s inaugural 11-day itinerary to the Southern Caribbean out of Galveston (our home port) with ports of call on our bucket list. She booked our Jr Suite taking advantage of whatever was the booking savings. She knew we would be achieving RCL’s Diamond status prior to this sailing date; therefore, she closely monitored prices. Once we reached our new loyalty status, she suggested we re-book into the 1-bedroom Grand Suite for a small up-charge. Closer to departure date, our adult children and 2 grandchildren decided to join us. They, too, contacted Michelle and she booked them into a spacious balcony cabin on the same floor only a few doors down!! The regular email messages updating us on excursion recommendations, add-ons to our reservations and anything that would en

Cruises are probably my favorite vacations. I just love traveling to different destinations and then coming back to one place for an amazing dinner some great shows and then having days relaxing at sea. It’s definitely something my family and I have loved doing for the past 21 years. Now, let’s chat about the thing I don’t love, booking and planning for the cruise. I am sorry, but it’s A LOT of work and if it’s your first few cruises, it can also be a bit overwhelming. (by a bit, I mean very overwhelming) I reached out to a few agencies and some didn’t reply and other just sent over a quote. So, I don’t really know if they are worth it or not. Perhaps, maybe I just reached out to the wrong ones at first. But, if you find someone like Michelle, it’s such a great experience. You are in great hands the whole way. She takes care of everything. I have probably sent at least a dozen friends over to them and they absolutely have had nothing but good things to say. Now, when I send peopl

Great planning. Great trip!

Michelle is the consummate professional. She knows the travel business inside and oit and makes the whole experience easy and pleasant-- even when you might be worried about travel details. She's very responsive, friendly, and helpful, a pleasure to work with!

Michelle was wonderful, informative, responsive, and organized from start to finish. Our trip was everything we hoped for and more. I would highly recommend Michelle to any person seeking an expert to help plan and schedule a vacation.

Michelle booked us the best mini 3 day get away . We look forward to working together on future trips .

Michelle was wonderful and super easy to work with. Always answered my questions!

Michelle made our trip fun and most importantly worry free!

Michelle kept me informed every step of the way.

Love working with Michelle. She is very knowledgeable and helpful and kept us informed up to our departure date.

Michelle was great. She was a great help with all the details of our trip. She is professional while being friendly. She was very quick with responses to all our emails.

Michelle is so helpful. No matter when I email her with crazy questions she is always happy to help out. She is the best!

MIchelle was spot on, she made sure everyone knew the schedule, provided lots of information and was so professional.

She is so helpful and prompt with answer to questions.

This was my first cruise with Michelle, and I would definitely do it again. Michelle is all about attention to detail, she is responsive and totally focused on ensuring your trip is as perfect as possible. My cruise had a craft (quilting) component, and I hope to be able to book another quilting cruise with Michelle in the future. If you've never taken a Quilting cruise before, start with Michelle!

Wonderful. She pays attention to all details, both big and small

She helped me a lot with answering all my questions, of which there were a ton. I had never sailed before so needed a lot of info and hand holding.

I had an exceptional experience working with Michelle Lapham on my recent multi-leg trip to Europe. While I personally booked an art workshop in Agen, France, Michelle handled all the intricate travel logistics around it — and everything went off without a hitch. The journey began with a flight from LAX to Copenhagen, Denmark, for a family celebration. After spending time with relatives and traveling by car to Skagen, Michelle arranged a train from Aalborg, Jutland, all the way to Paris — not a simple task (I could have flown but I preferred to see the country by train). She also booked a wonderful hotel in Paris and arranged my train travel to Agen for a week-long art workshop. After the workshop, I returned to Paris by train, flew to Copenhagen, and then home to Los Angeles. There were many moving parts and details to coordinate, but Michelle handled them all flawlessly. Her documentation was clear, thorough, and incredibly easy to reference — everything was well-labeled and organi

Michelle was knowledgeable in the industry and helped us plan our vacation.

whatever we asked....she did. Michelle Lapham was great!

Michelle's attention to detail in prep for the cruise is outstanding!

I had never been on a cruise before. Michelle help me find were I was going helped when we were on land too I feel she kept me from being helpless.Thanks again Michelle and when I get to take a trip again I'll be booking with Her.

Michelle was great to work with.

Michelle is an exception travel agent! How she crossed the t's and dots the i's is amazing to make the trip all the more special! She comes with on the trip to make sure everything is done right and then goes over the top to treat you to surprises everyday to make the experience of quilting and traveling more than just a memory. Friendship, laughter & quilting, a blessed blend of life that I will cherish forever! I highly recommend Michelle!

We have taken two Disney cruises in the past several years and Michelle was our travel agent. She made the whole thing so easy and stress free! We will use her again in the future for our next vacation for sure and hopefully someday for our trip to Europe!!!

Excellent, she is always on top of all the details, and so pleasant.

One of the best vacations I ever had! It was planned right down to every small detail. No surprises, no disappointments! I definitely recommend Michelle - she rocks!

The cruise portfolio with everything outlined made all convenient and less stressful for our upcoming trip. I can say we are prepared and very excited and would recommend Michelle. This is our first quilting cruise!

This is our second cruise with Michelle and we have enjoyed both! The batik factory tour was especially memorable and fun.

We unfortunately had to cancel our trip early on and Michelle could NOT have been any nicer or helpful.

I went to Europe and my flights were delayed, I was not able to link up with the party I was to meet, and she got right on the phone to the Travel agency who found me a hotel near the airport, re-routed the tickets for the train and got me to my destination with ease.

Thank you Michelle for a great trip. The quilting time was my favorite time, but that rest was great too. You, Susan, Kelly Ann, Scott, Jacky. Leslee and all the quilters made the experience great. Your help before hand was the best.

Michelle was great to work with, responded quickly to any questions we had, and the trip was well organized and wonderful!

I had a wonderful experience planning my first quilting cruise with Michelle. She communicated often by email and by mail, answered all questions sent by text or email within a day. Would definitely use her services again, esp if planning another quilting cruise.

Thorough, attentive, interested, works hard prompt in answering emails.

The trip was well organized from the very beginning. Hotels were right in the heart of every city, easy access to bus, tube, or walking to restaurants and sites. All of the hotels had fantastic breakfasts and excellent accommodations. The tour guides and bus drivers were very knowledgeable and just plain fun. Gary, my favorite, had chocolates for us every time we got on the bus. We skimmed across England seeing London, Burlington( attended the fantastic Festival of Quilts, Avon where Shakespeare was born, Glasgow and my favorite York. In Scotland we headed for Inverness, isle of Skye, battle grounds, and two more mills. We ended the two weeks in Edinburgh where we toured her majesties Royal Yacht the Britannia. Of course there were a few castles along the way. Now have 14 new friends and lots of memories. Thanks Michelle

Michelle and Jackie are the friendliest, most helpful and fun travel service I have had the pleasure to use. She answered all my questions, provided necessary coordination of my trip no matter what I asked or thought I required for myself or my husband. Quilting at Sea was a fabulous experience! The planning of on-board and port excursions and group events were well thought out and meant to bring us together as quilters and fellow travelers. The focus project and the mini projects kept us interested and challenged throughout the quilting sessions. The instructor Lisa Moore creator of "Quilts with a Twist" was phenomenal I was so proud of my finished quilt.

Have booked twice now with Michelle, and would and do recommend Her for Vacation planning.

She makes the planning easy, handles problems (not many) with dispatch

Great, well-planned cruise!

Michelle handled everything seamlessly, we didn't have to worry about anything. When we got to our room, we were surprised to find goodies in the room that made us feel so special. We would travel with Michelle again.

Michelle was so easy to work with when we booked our first quilting cruise. I also got the chance to meet Michelle in person on the cruise. She is a lot of fun.

I HAD A PROBLEM WITH MY SWOLLEN ANKLES AND BOTH SHE AND HER MOTHER MADE SURE A DOCTOR SAW ME. THEN I WENT ;TO THE CLASS I HAD BOOKED. A QUILTING CLASS NOW THAT WAS FUN. DIDN'T GET TO SEE AS MUCH AS I WOULD HAVE LIKED TO BUT THAT WAS NO FAULT OF MICHELLE NOR THE CRUISE LINE.

I have worked with Michelle Jackson of Travel Adventures on several vacations. The service offered is complete and professional. Her recommendations are personalized and the just work! This is a travel agent that has been good to work with and I can leave the planning in her very capable hands.

We have let her plan 6 cruises for us and 1 coming up in January 2017. We will never call anyone else.

Michelle has planned our last three quilt retreats at sea. We've received positive comments from our customers about how smoothly their travel arrangements played out as well as the fun they had during the cruise. Michelle's efforts go beyond making reservations, including onboard events and specially arranged excursions. She's a knowledgable and friendly pro. Highly recommended.

This was my first quilt cruise and was a very good experience. Especially enjoyed the instructor, Sue Hauseman, who was fun, patient and so knowledgeable. The chosen ship was a good one as I have been on several ships and do not like the huge ones. The only problem was being so close to San Blas island with the molas and not getting to go there. However, we were able to purchase them on the ship. I liked the way Michelle was there if needed and did not hover over you. She had several surprises ready for us and all in the class were friendly and fun. Another one maybe someday.
