Great customer service and for $8.00 per piece of luggage for storage it was sooo worth it. One word to the wise, if you paid for transportation to and from the airport thru Carnival you must take their ride as soon as you disembark upon returning to Tampa...Luckily I had remembered the name of the agent with Carnival who told us that we could take the shuttle bus at ANY time to get back to the airport but found out that was untrue. Luckily the bus had returned to bring passengers for the next cruise out and we were able to ride back to the airport with him. I will say the Tampa Port for Carnival S.U.C.K.S. and the cruise itself was, well, lets just say I expected everyone to have mullets and be missing the majority of their teeth. NEVER AGAIN for that port.

All tips go to a make a wish foundation. This is great! The drinks were incredible!! The food was amazing and all fruit was fresh. The desserts were a hit or a miss depending on taste, but they good ones are 100% ecstasy. The negative experience we had was the sewage smell on the lower decks 2-3. Sometimes it went upstairs. The other was that the room was waaaay to crowded and there was no plugs for our electronics. None. I called customer service and they gave us a standard wall plugin to borrow. If you do go remember to make your room central because then you can be in the center of where you go. The spa and acupuncture are amazing - we are addicted Overall we had a great time, and a good experience on the ship. The food and drinks were memorable!

My family has been planning this vacation for over a year, and what should have been an exciting…read moretrip turned into one of the most stressful experiences we've ever had. Before traveling, we contacted Royal Caribbean multiple times to verify the travel requirements for my mother-in-law. She is a lawful U.S. permanent resident with a Dominican Republic passport, and we specifically asked whether she needed a visa to board the cruise departing from Barcelona. We were repeatedly told that she did not need a visa. We relied on that information when making our travel plans. On the day of travel, we learned that she actually required a Schengen visa to enter Spain. As a result, our family suffered significant financial losses, missed travel, and an incredible amount of emotional stress after planning this vacation for over a year. What made the situation even more frustrating was our interaction with Josh in the Resolution Department. Rather than showing empathy or trying to help us navigate the situation, his attitude came across as sarcastic and unprofessional during one of the most stressful moments our family has experienced. Customer service representatives should be trained to handle situations like this with compassion and professionalism. During our conversations, it also appeared there may have been confusion between the Commonwealth of Dominica and the Dominican Republic. If that misunderstanding occurred, it would explain why we were repeatedly given incorrect information. Since the calls were on recorded lines, I encourage Royal Caribbean to review them. I understand that travelers are ultimately responsible for having the proper documentation. However, when customers repeatedly call specifically to verify entry requirements and are given incorrect information, there should be some accountability. Instead, we were left with substantial financial losses and were offered no meaningful assistance or reimbursement. We expected much better from a company with Royal Caribbean's reputation. I sincerely hope they review this situation, improve the training of their customer service representatives, and treat future guests with the professionalism and empathy they deserve.

I had been looking into various packages on my own, and was getting so frustrated. Angel not only took over, she was responsive and positive throughout. Her customer service is exemplary. What made my family's Disney getaway even better is the care package that she sent to my daughter and her friend. It was packed with Disney goodies and the girls were in on Cloud 9! And even better? When we got to the hotel, we received perks (only 10/day for parking, vs 30) that I know I would not have received had I booked this on my own. Now I can't speak to savings for everyone, but I know that I booked far enough in advance and I saved several hundred from what I was calculating when I started to research hotels and Disney passes. But if I hadn't saved a dime, I would use Angel again (and plan to) and again. She is a joy to work with. Thank you, Angel, for making our getaway all it could be!

After getting my reservations and race registrations corrected it now appears like my fathers have disappeared. I never got any kind of invoice and receipt of any kind.

We booked our vacation to Beaches Negril in Jamaica with Chelsea and Chelax Adventures, and we can't recommend them enough! Traveling, especially during these unprecedented times can be stressful and overwhelming, but Chelsea made everything super simple for us. Whether it was by phone, email, or message, she was always quick to respond to any questions or issues we had. Due to Covid, our resort didn't open as scheduled, so we had to change resorts, and then our original flight got cancelled, so we had to change flights and push our trip back a day (all at no extra cost to us). Chelsea asked us what we wanted and handled everything, while assuring us our trip would still be amazing, which it was! She even arranged an expedited service (Club Mobay) for us to get through the Jamaican airport effortlessly, which was HUGE considering the long lines, extra paperwork and health screenings related to Covid (not to mention the two tired kids we had with us!). Our family is already in the process of deciding our next vacation and we will definitely be using Chelax Adventures! read more

Words are not enough to express how thankful we are for Chelsea and Chelax Adventures. We used Chelax for our honeymoon in October of 2020. Yes, I said honeymoon and 2020 in the same sentence. She had all of the information and tips to help us with travel and customs on our way to and from Mexico. Our experience at our resort, Unico, was amazing and we are so appreciative of how responsive Chelsea was if we had any questions. If you are looking for any help in booking a trip I cannot say use Chelax Adventures enough!!!!! 10/10 would recommend. In fact, I do to everyone that brings up wanting to travel! From honeymoon to staycation Chelsea is my go to! read more

I don't usually post reviews but I felt compelled to give Chelax Adventures a shoutout. Chelsea really takes the time to get to know you and your travel companions. It is amazing how big of a difference that little detail makes. She utilizes that knowledge to suggest unique ideas or options for your trips that I would have never thought of. My family is big into golf and Chelsea showed us multiple villas that included not one or two but THREE Championship Golf courses nearby. It's the perfect vacation for our family. I highly recommend giving Chelsea a call before you book your next trip! read more

Chelax Advetures is the BEST! Chelsea helped us plan our daughters entire destination wedding to St. Lucia. The original wedding date was April 2020, but due to pandemic we had to move it to November 2020. Chelsea had to re-book the wedding, all of our guests, flights, etc. When we arrived at Sandals in St. Lucia we met with wedding coordinator to go over final details and wedding/vacation was perfect, not one hiccup. Chelsea and Alex joined us as well and are now our good friends. We will forever book all our trips with Chelax Adventures. read more

Chelsea did a fantastic job planning a family cruise for us out of Tampa FL going to Cozumel Mexico and Grand Cayman. She gave us great advice on the best excursions to go on and had everything reserved for us as well. She also told us about some different places to visit when we hit land. I personally wouldn't use anyone else to plan a vacation for me and my family. She is extremely knowledgeable and has traveled to many places around the world herself. read more
