The travel planner did a marvelous job.  All we had to do was sit back and enjoy the fruits of his labors.  My hat is off to you, kiddo.

Dear Terry, We want to Thank You for making our trip so grand. The flowers were a nice surprise, too. They lasted for our whole cruise. We enjoyed them and thought of you. When we talked to others in our tour we found out how really good you are as a travel planner. Others were so mislead by their agent they were jealous. Thank You again.

I want to thank you for arranging a wonderful Holland America Alaskan cruise. It was better than I could have imagined - the Rydam provided such an elegant, comfortable atmosphere. I love art and was so impressed with the art collection on board and with the attention to visual detail that was everywhere. I also love good food and the cruising on the Ryndam was so wonderfully varied and well prepared! The service was incredible - every staff person and crew member made me feel special and at home. there were so many activities to choose from and, yet, I never felt like I was in a crowd. Of course, Alaska was also extraordinary! I doubt that I will ever see more beautiful scenery. It was a memorable week and I appreciate the time and thought you put into the itinerary and travel arrangements. I look forward to future travel adventures with you and AWA Travel

Just wanted to say thanks for the great job in booking my cruise to Alaska on Holland America. I had the time of my life. I wasn't sure what to expect, but everything from the time my bags were checked at the airport in Minneapolis, until they were dropped of at the Anchorage airport was fabulous; – from the food and service, to the accommodations on the ship, and excursions off the ship. I have already recommended the cruise to everyone I know and have bragged to anyone who would listen. Thanks again. I have tons of pictures I can't wait to show you.

Thank you for arranging my Alaskan cruise. it was absolutely wonderful!! On board the ms Ryndam I felt like a "Lady of Leisure" everyday. The ship, the service, and the hospitality were outstanding. What a way for me to celebrate my 50th birthday..."in style!!" The was the BEST vacation! I am definitely hooked on cruises and since I am now an alumni on Holland America let's start looking into another cruise. Of course, without a question in my mind, you are my Holland America Cruise Travel Agent. So, where should I go on my next Holland America cruise. Thanks for all your help.

The cruise was G-R-E-A-T !!! Everything was top shelf & our staff was fantastic. How ya gonna get us back in a Veranda Suite after we've done the Penthouse! The addition of the Neptune Lounge is great. Having snacks & a personal concierge right down the hall - it doesn't get any better.

You were able to provide the most perfect trip! You even provided the most amazing weather! Every thing and I mean everything, went unbelievably well!

The cruise was excellent. We had a great time and we are definitely going on a cruise again, sometime in the near future. The weather was good, for the most part (it stormed the first night at sea but other than that it was beautiful) The ports of call were great - Grand Cayman was my favorite, but Ocho Rios was great too!
The room and the boat were good too. No major problems ever. We didn't dine in the dining room that much because I found myself not liking so much food, so we hung out upstairs at the Lido deck where there was also good food and lots of it. We did not get sea sick at all, so that was good!
All in all it was a really great honeymoon! Carnival was a great cruise line.

What a trip. It was beautiful. Thank you so much for arranging this and thank you for the wine and champagne that was in our stateroom on our arrival. While it was raining on our arrival into Barbados, the sun came out within several hours and we had perfect weather the whole week and a perfect vacation. We were a little surprised by the average passenger age; in that, we felt like we were the younger generation. This probably had more to do with the time of the year than the actual ship. I can definitely tell you that after sailing on a smaller ship - we are hooked. No more big 3000 passenger ships. On the smaller ship there might not be as much entertainment (shows, etc.) but that is not our gig nor is the big gambling area of a big ship. The smaller ship is more intimate and you can get to know other passengers and get to know the staff and the staff seem to have the time to do a better job. Even better, it is more casual. On the big ship at the emergency drill you almost felt like you were in the army and dinner had to be so tightly scheduled just to feed the masses. Not the case on the smaller ship. And, the smaller ship can dock in harbors where the bigger ships are not allowed. Like I said - we are hooked. The next trip - probably a WindSpirit or WindSurf in the Mediterranean. Like one of the advertisements says - yesterday, I was royalty. Now I must get back to that thing called work - so that we can continue to take such trips. Thank you again for your efforts in arranging this vacation. All the best,

Once again, [we] would like to thank you for your attention to the details of our recent trip to Alaska and the Yukon. As I stated in my e-mail from the ship, it was worth every penny. Certainly, the accommodations, food, and various modes of transportation were important, but a big part of the value for us is in the arrangements – everything was seamless, including the transition from the northbound tour to the southbound on August 18.

Just a note to say thank you for working with our group on our Holland American Cruise. We had a wonderful time and appreciate all you did to coordinate everything. It was very smooth sailing.
Also, thank you for the bottles of wine you sent to our cabin to share at dinner with our friends. We made a special toast to you the night we drank it.
I am happy I discovered your agency and would not hesitate to work with you again or refer friends to your services. You are very personable and accommodating even under some difficult conditions. We look forward to our next trip.

WOW are we impressed. We did not expect all these details via email and were waiting for your mailing. We will sign and return as soon as we get them. As usual every detail is attended to with your impeccable style. We are very happy with all you have done for us. We do wish you could join us and that would make the trip absolutely perfect. So glad you are handling our air transportation also, we are relieved. Now you have all our statistics minus height and weight so when all those fabulous opportunities occur we are just a phone call away and you can book with a "Yes, let's go for it." Again thanks and have a great Thanksgiving.
