This trip worked out perfectly with the help from Michelle Morrison. Her knowledge, skills, communication, and her YouTube videos all helped in this trip’s success. Michelle’s recommendations and clear instructions were instrumental and very much appreciated. Dad had a “buck list experience “.

This was our bucket list trip! Actually, I found Michelle on YouTube because we were interested in going on a Cruise Tour to Alaska/Yukon. After watching her videos for the Holland America Y5L tour, I knew this was what my husband and I wanted to do. I checked with several area travel agents, but none of them understood what a cruise/tour was with Holland America. They all said, " You need to do the 7-day cruise and then the land portion." I got somewhat frustrated. So I reached out to Michelle. She was a blessing to work with. In this day and age, everything is handled online anyway; that was the beauty of it, me being in PA and her in FL. Michelle responded quickly to all the questions I had. She informed me of the options for excursions, meal plans, and insurance. What I valued most was that she took this trip herself and understood how everything was planned. We started in Anchorage with the McKinley Train to Denali & Denali National Park (saw 2 grizzly), then took a bus/coach to Fairbanks with a riverboat tour included. The next day FLEW to Dawson City for a couple of days, which included Dredge 4. Next, took a bus/coach to White Horse on the Klondike Highway (cool... a good portion was a dirt road). From there traveled to Skagway (including the White Pass Train Excursion) and got on the Koningsdam for a 4-night cruise. In the end, the trip was absolutely fabulous, even better than we expected. We enjoyed the land portion the most. We were first-time cruisers, so it was out of our comfort zone. Holland America knows what they are doing! I would absolutely recommend Michelle to anyone for their travel needs. She was consistent in sending us up-to-date information as we got closer to the trip, with tips and tricks that helped us plan.

I was planning a trip to Alaska for my dad, who’s always wanted to go. I was a bit lost on where to begin. That’s when I stumbled upon Michelle’s website and got in touch. She asked about our preferences and gave us some great ideas for services we might want to include. Since it had been over 20 years since I’d been on a cruise, this was a huge help. She answered all my questions as I was getting ready for the trip, and the links and videos on her site were super helpful in getting everything organized. I really think she was a big reason the trip went so smoothly. I’d definitely use her services again and recommend her to others. We had a great trip to Alaska!

We had a great trip. Michelle made our detour reservations. I told her the dates, itinerary and desired room location and she made it happen. Michelle was very responsive and helpful.

Michelle handles everything for you and makes the trip flow seamlessly! I highly recommend Michelle at Traveling Owl!

Already booked with Michelle 3 Cruises for next year!!! Also our oldest son and wife also booked a cruise!!

Michelle is easy to work with! Always available to answer any questions. She found us a great deal! Let her do the searching for you! I have recommended her to others and they liked working with her also.

Michelle provided all the information needed to have a nice cruise. Even with a weather challenge at Grand Cayman, with a change of location for docking, Michelle made sure everyone understood what was going on and kept everyone information of the set back. We got a late start, but spirits were high and the group had a great outing (excursion).

We were a little disappointed about some things about the Apex! We were happy with Michelle and the Distinctive Destination Program. Will recommend and do again ourselves!

I can't say enough good things about our travel agent, Michelle! She made our trip to the Caribbean onboard the Holland America Cruise an unforgettable experience. From the moment we booked, Michelle was incredibly attentive, responsive, and took care of every detail, ensuring we had the perfect getaway. Not only did she provide expert advice on choosing the best itinerary, but Michelle also went above and beyond by hosting amazing events during our trip. Her enthusiasm, warmth, and organizational skills truly made every gathering fun, engaging, and memorable. We felt like VIPs with her around, and it was clear she genuinely cared about our experience. Thanks to Michelle, we had the the best time on the cruise, and we're already looking forward to planning our next adventure with her. If you're looking for a travel agent who’s not only knowledgeable but also passionate about delivering exceptional experiences, Michelle is your go-to person!

Michelle booked my Southern Caribbean cruise on Royal Caribbean's Adventure of the Seas, November 12 - 22, 2025. There is no one else I would trust to make these arrangements. This was my third cruise booked through Michelle, and not my last. She is professional, knowledgeable, efficient, and wise.

Michelle was awesome ! She provided a customer service experience which will have us utilizing her again….and again.

We had an incredible 7-night cruise that took us to Falmouth, Jamaica, Labadee, Haiti, and the Bahamas — and we owe so much of the seamless experience to our amazing travel agent. From the very beginning, Michelle was attentive, responsive, and detailed, making sure every part of our trip was well thought out and stress-free. She provided us with clear guidance, helpful tips, and all the information we needed to make the most of each stop. Whether it was planning excursions, handling documentation, or just ensuring we knew what to expect, she went above and beyond. Thanks to her support, we were able to relax and truly enjoy every moment of our vacation. If you’re looking for someone who genuinely cares about your travel experience and takes the time to get every detail right, look no further. Highly recommended!

Best help & went beyond what I needed

Michelle is very informative regarding many locations, cruises and trips. She makes the process very easy and worry free. More importantly she is available for questions, bookings and great suggestions on rooms and itineraries in my experience 7 days a week. She is timely with getting back to you if necessary. I have used other agents and she makes you feel like you are her only client….would put her in a class of her own. In a word she is “amazing”.

Michelle is the best agent we have ever used! She has always been available when we’ve had any questions or concerns. We have loved working with her and feel like we’ve known her for a long time!

I have used Michelle's services for my two recent cruises, with the third coming in November, and more to follow. She is the only travel agent I will ever be using from here on. She is so knowledgeable about the entire industry, efficient, detail-oriented, personable, professional, and easy to work with. She knows the right questions to ask and immediately has the correct understanding of how you like to travel, your needs, your preferences. These first two cruises that Michelle has planned for me are my first solo cruises - but certainly not my last. She has been amazing in her understanding of my situation. I couldn't be happier that I found her!

Michelle coordinated a family cruise to the Caribbean for 15 people. She booked our rooms conveniently close and was very knowledgeable about the kid-friendly activities available on the ship. Michelle was also knowledgeable about each port we visited and available excursions. She even was able to assist us with the passport process. The entire trip was smooth sailing.

We went to Bermuda with our daughter and son and their spouses. Michelle was very helpful in choosing the right cabin for us and answering questions we had about excursions. She was always available for questions. The country was beautiful and we went on the glass bottom boat, swam at Horseshoe Bay, went up the Gibb's Hill Lighthouse and explored the island. There is so much to do!!

Michelle has helped our family book several cruises and has been nothing short of amazing! She helps you along the way the entire time and wants you and your family to have the best time!

Michelle has been there for all the little questions I’ve had. She is very knowledgeable. She helped me broaden my horizons by listening to me and recommending alternative options that we ended up loving.

Michelle is very knowledgeable and she is great at finding what you need. I definitely would recommend Michelle for your next and many trips ahead

Everything was taken care of. We did not have to worry about our connections or time. She made us aware of any extras we might be entitled too!

My entire family uses Michelle to book their cruises! We’ve used Michelle for many sailings in the last 2 to 3 years. You can’t go wrong, nor get a better deal!

Michelle has book a couple of cruises for us. The first was for a family cruise that encompassed 5 families. She did a great job coordinating everything for all of us. Recently she helped us with a cruise just for the 2 of us and has gone above and beyond to be sure we will have an excellent time by keeping us informed of special excursions, dinner deals, and many other things. We would highly recommended Michelle.

I have used Michelle for several trips and found a new friend. She listens and acts on my behalf making planning pleasant and satisfying. I highly recommend her.

Michelle went the extra mile for us I. Finding the best cruise for the best price. She arranged everything! The price dropped after we booked and she was able to get us the lower price too!! Thanks Michelle.
