Alaska Cruise

I booked a 7 day Southbound Alaska Cruise on the Holland America Line with Andrea for September 2022. Andrea provided all of the quotes for my pre-approval and all of the receipts after purchase commitment. She kept me up to date on all of the deadlines and informed me of optional port excursions and excursions outside of the cruise. Everything went as planned and I had a wonderful cruise. I highly recommend Andrea to assist you with you vacation plans.

Disney World

We worked with Andrea on a trip to Disney World as a family trip and added bonus of our 2 year old's birthday to see Mickey! Andrea provided many updates over the time planning this while Disney was constantly changing their policies. She kept us in the loop of important booking dates and gave us suggestions on things our family might enjoy based on our preferences. She made booking this trip simple when Disney is known for being time consuming and detailed. Thanks to Nicole we ended up with a little more rain and wind than anticipated. Andrea checked in with us before the trip, before the storm came, and again during to make sure we were all OK and aware. We appreciate her taking the time to check up on us even on the trip!

Honeymoon

Andrea planned my Honeymoon to Italy. She was very communicative from the beginning and delivered exactly what we were looking for! She was on top of it all, very quick and our trip could not have gone smoother. I appreciate her and will use her for my future travels, and you should as well! :) Highly recommend!

First River Cruise

Andrea went above and beyond to get all of our questions answered before our trip. We’ve never gone on a river cruise before so we were rookies and she was very helpful at preparing us for one of the best vacations we’ve ever had. Highly recommended.

Walt Disney World Trip!

"Andrea was incredible! From the moment we started exploring the idea of a Disney World trip she was super responsive and knowledgeable about the parks, hotels and specials! She walked us through the different properties, price points and even amenities at each of the locations she suggested. Once we booked she provided many details on how to reserve the parks, dining reservations and more to make our stay as easy and enjoyable as possible. She even went above and beyond offering to help us get dining reservations at highly sought after locations! While on the trip she checked in and even reminded us to register for the queue for Star Wars Rise of Resistance! Andrea is amazing at what she does and a great person! I can't wait to book with her again!!"
