ZERO STARS - Our cruise was nowhere close to locations with bans (as she responded to my community…read morequestion)AND after planning for over a year and being paid in full, VOYAGES BY KIM'S owner Kim McNamee, was NOT paying carnival cruise line and allowed our trip to be cancelled and now believes the customers are responsible for penalties that HER company caused to happen. I have documentation from over a year and never has Jesus or any other religious anecdotes been used, suddenly this is her only fall back. Providing a "refund request form" that clearly states your company has 30days to respond AND the right to refuse a refund is bogus. Waiting 9days before a sail date to tell someone they aren't traveling is ridiculous as well!! Flights, hotels, clothes, suitcases-booked,packed and ready to go. She even sent me a fake confirmation while I was in the passport agency WASTING even more money for expedited service!! Don't fall for the scam, book your trips personally as I have done for years. No reason to pay hundreds extra only to be ripped off and infuriated with scam artists like these. Any LEGITIMATE business would require a receipt for a refund which I have. The hurricane DID NOT affect the spirit flight I booked not the port on which to board the cruise. Everything out of Kim's mouth is a poor excuse to justify the reason she allowed this trip to be cancelled MONTHS ago and also why she continues to LIE about providing refunds. Karma, however, returns to everyone justly. Don't compare this blatant SCAM to any other real business. Best Buy doesn't require a form and tell you that they have 30days to approve or decline. Insurance was added to the original fees listed and there was NO LEGITIMATE reason for the cabins that I paid in FULL SINCE APRIL to be cancelled. End of story. Return my $4629 + all other expenses so I can book a real trip without you or your fake agency listed.

As a child of the internet age, a seasoned traveler, and master of internet searches the last thing…read moreI thought I needed in my life was a travel agent. When life got hectic, I had already been reading for years on travel blogs about the perks of having a travel agent, I thought it was time to give it a shot. I put down my backpacker-esque, 'I am not your typical tourist' pride and got in contact with Triple C. Mike came highly recommended from the Chinese community which made me hesitate at first because honestly, my Chinese sucks. I tested the waters by writing him an (English) email requesting an itinerary for an upcoming multi-country trip, detailing my numerous travel preferences in an anal fashion. To my astonishment, it was only minutes before a reply appeared in my inbox. Within the email was a spectacular itinerary to which I love dearly and could not have put together so well myself in such small amount of time. A few minutes later another email followed with a few concerns over how I wanted to fly in to one side of a country and leave from my specified airport that's on the the opposite end of the same said country. (I had plans to take the train across the country but forgot to mention it in my initial email) Fantastic attention to details. A quick check over kayak and a few other sites tell me Mike's prices couldn't be beat and I was sold then and there. When recently I emailed Mike regarding my woes with the difficulty I was having getting a Chinese visa he was quick to offer advice. Mike is always quick to respond to my traveling needs and questions; most of our email conversations can be concluded within minutes. I love that. Straight to the point and super friendly. Oh, my worries regarding the whole Chinese thing? Totally a non-issue. This whole experience makes me wish I had made buddies with a travel agent sooner!

He responds immediately and gave me the exact information I needed when I was stressing out over the strike. His prices are also extremely reasonable. If i can give Mike 10 stars, I would. Mike, keep doing what you are doing and my your business grow! Thank you so very much for your help over the years!

I'm happy that others had 5-star experiences here. Mine was definitely a "shudder and run" lesson…read morelearned. VERY important anniversary - big plans for a European river cruise led us to decide to seek help from a professional rather than booking it ourselves online. Our consultant gave us some brochures and asked other consultants to lend expertise on the trip we were interested in. We left the appointment with a 72-hour window to complete the reservation AND for the consultant to provide the "how to" move forward. On the third day, I made contact to see how we could move forward before the deadline passed and the reservation would be lost. The consultant, having forgotten about where we were in the story, failed to provide what was needed ---- the reservation was lost. The promise was an attempt at a do-over once 24 more hours had passed. Rather than risk another blown opportunity, I called the vendor myself --- and booked the same dates/cabin/destination as a new reservation. Anniversary saved - go ME. The next day, received an ALL CAPS email from the consultant: "IF YOU DO DEPOSIT TODAY I CAN REBOOK. NEED TO KNOW." Needless to say, I won't be a repeat customer of this business.

I don't often recommend services but today is an exception. If you, or anyone you know, is thinking…read moreabout taking a trip to anything Disney, a cruise (Disney or non-Disney), or vacation resort... you need to use Maryann at www.thinbluelinetravel.com. Our family started dropping like flies with the flu, less then 5 days from our upcoming trip to Disney World. I called Maryann this morning, on a national holiday nonetheless, and asked her if there was anyway we could bump the trip back several days to make sure we are all healthy for Disney. I figured this was gonna be next to impossible at this point, but Mare said she would make it happen. Over the next three hours (again, on the morning of a holiday!) Maryann had not only moved our Disney reservations back two days... at less then the original cost.... she also got the airfare switched to the same exact hours of our original flights, to match the new resort dates two days later.... at minimal extra cost. 5 days away from our trip! That's ridiculously difficult to accomplish! This is exceptional service.... and at no extra cost to you. So..... if you are going to plan a trip to Disney, or a cruise (Disney and non Disney), or a resort.... contact Maryann or Dave at thinbluelinetravel.com and let them take care of you. You will not be disappointed. They treat you like you are their family. And, if you think you know Disney..... and wanna book everything yourself.... contact Maryann and Dave and let them handle it for you. You may be able to book your trip by yourself..... but if an emergency happens and you need help.... you want them in your corner.

We had a wonderful experience working with Katie Buckley of Connoisseur Travel to plan our Italy…read morevacation. She put together a seamless multi-city itinerary for five travelers, arranging three rooms in each city along with private drivers, transportation, guides, and tours. Every detail was thoughtfully handled, and the hotels were all well-appointed and comfortable. What stood out most was the excellent coordination between drivers and guides, which made the entire trip feel effortless. All our drivers were friendly, knowledgeable, punctual, and safe, which gave us great peace of mind throughout the journey. The Connoisseur app was also incredibly helpful, providing preparation information before the trip and clear daily itinerary details with specific timing. I highly recommend Katie Buckley of Connoisseur Travel to anyone looking for a well-organized, high-quality travel experience in Italy.

My experience began with a very pleasant phone conversation about my hopes to plan a Washington DC trip for my grandmother with Connoisseur Travel's assistance. It was followed by no communication, help, or results with airfare, hotel recommendations/bookings , or tours over a 2-week period. I contacted Connoisseur directly to notify them of the lack of service and professionalism I had experienced. They responded with apologies, detailed questions and statements about how they planned to rectify the situation, and ideas about my Washington DC trip. With reservations, I decided to give the new associate a second chance because she seemed genuinely apologetic and knowledgeable. 2 weeks later my trip had not moved forward with Connoisseur's help. I ended up booking and reserving everything on my own and the prices had gone up because of all the time that had passed. I foolishly did not reach out to any other travel companies and trusted this company to help me and they failed. I am posting this review because I hope it helps others that might find themselves in my situation.

Carol was very knowledgeable about the different Carribbean islands, resorts, airports/airfare options, etc. In addition, she was very responsive to my questions and concerns, and always followed up with me very quickly. Carol researched different flight options/airports, dates, resorts, and islands, to ensure that I would get the best deal and a vacation that fit within my price range. This was my first time using a Travel Agent, and I would definitely recommend Voyager Travel to others who may be looking for assistance with booking a vacation. I can't wait for my Jamaican vacation in the next couple weeks! On a side note, before I went to Voyager Travel, I checked about Liberty Travel at Dulles Town Center. I do not recommend Liberty - the representative I worked with did not seem very interested in helping me and barely did any research. I was only given 2 different vacation options (even though I was highly flexible with location, dates, etc.), and when I requested some additional options, I was frankly told that I "would not like the other resorts." Compared to the service I received at Liberty, my experience at Voyager Travel was top-notch.

Looking at purchasing/selling property in the same fashion, real estate agents are essentially House Lawyers. When it comes to your best interest in the long term you definitely want to hire someone competent and let me tell you all real estate agents are not the same. That being said Kimberly Barton is the best House Lawyer around! Kimberly came highly recommended and after working with her it's easy to see why. My goal was to sell my house and move to Florida with all my pets. She was able to sell my home within my projected time frame and made the process a breeze! Before I knew it I was headed south in a U-hual with my dog and all my other critters. When I reached out to Ms. Barton with my (then) current situation and goal time line to sell, she warmly accepted me as her client and was very confident that we'd be able to close by the date I had in mind. I was so thankful for her understanding of the emotional impact on selling my home, and the feeling that she really cared about me (and all my pets lol) as her client. She's incredibly thoughtful! Going above and beyond to make you feel stress free and comfortable the entire process. She still keeps up with me after my big move, even asking about my pets, which I appreciate so much! Buying or selling your biggest assest can be nerve wrecking and it's essential to trust the agent representing you. Kimberly Barton is amazing! I'm not sure how she does it, maintaining all her clients and such, but she is definitely in the right field of work! And looking fabulous while she does it! I have no doubt in her abilities to tackle anything real estate related and I'm so proud to add my prior adress to the "Kimberly Sold It" list!
