We were fortunate to have Colley Croteau from Cruise Web to help us plan our trip in February. Because we decided to book this holiday only 6 weeks prior to the cruise, our choice of flights was limited. I had to book a flight which was 4 days prior to and 3 days after the cruise. Though we have gone on 6 cruises, we wanted to experience a large cruise ship so when we saw that there was a deal on Oasis of the Seas leaving Port Canaveral, we decided to contact Colley. I usually book all of our holidays at least one year ahead of time by myself so I thought I would ask Colley to help me out because I hoped he would be able to plan a nice holiday that would meet our needs (seniors) on such short notice. Wow! What a wonderful holiday! He was able to get us an 11th floor balcony room in the middle of the ship. We have never booked anything in the centre of the ship (great for people with vertigo) or on a higher level, ever before. We loved everything about the ship and would definitely go again. Thanks Colley. Not only did he get us on the ship but he planned the perfect pre and post-cruise holiday. He got us transfers from our airport to our pre-cruise hotel, transfers from our hotel to the port, transfers from the port to our post-cruise hotel and transfers from our hotel to the airport. Thanks Colley. The pre-cruise hotel that he chose for us was Hard Rock @ Universal Studios in Orlando. With that package, we received a 3 day pass to Universal Studios and The Island Park. The hotel also gave us fast passes for all 3 days as well as a free boat or shuttle ride to the park. We decided to spend a whole afternoon at the hotel pool which is like no other. We felt like we were on a beach in a 5 star hotel. It was not anything that I would likely have thought to book for ourselves. Thanks Colley. The hotel that Colley chose for us after the cruise, Park Inn by Radisson, was close to Disneyworld but we decided to rent a car and travel to the west coast of Florida as well as surrounding areas. There is a car rental agency right at the hotel so it couldn't have been more convenient. Though I had read some pretty negative reviews of the hotel, I trusted Colley and went along with his choice. We were very pleased with the hotel, location and services. While on the ship, we realized that even though we had the documents saying that we would be transferred, the Royal Caribbean didn't have us on their list for a transfer to our hotel so I contacted Colley on email and he told us to enjoy the rest of our holiday because he would take care of it for us. Did he ever, and in record time. He took care of it immediately. Guest services on the ship apologized for the mix-up and all went well. Colley stayed in touch with us on email to make certain that we were happy with everything he planned. We are so grateful for Colley and Cruise Web for a fantastic holiday with no worries. I will definitely recommend him to anyone who wants a great holiday. Lorraine read more

Arthur, I wanted to drop you an email to thank you for a wonderful cruise and of course Coley as well for his suggestions and hooking us up with you. I do not see how we could be any happier with the work yawl put into this, you were able to understand our desires and budget and masterfully coordinated and lined everything up, well done! The air transportation was perfect, the transport to hotel in Rome was perfect, the hotel in Rome was awesome, their staff was amazing and we loved the rooftop garden (great cigar lounge ) all the sights were amazing and all but one was in walking distance (the Vatican). The transport to the cruise ship was perfect and the embarkation was simple and seamless. The ship was "to die for" I never got tired of the modern art theme, simply amazing. The cabin was so sweet and very convenient to the main café, the food was very satisfying, I can't remember the last time I had so many deserts. The cabin attendant could not have been better, Clyde was incredibly helpful and always available, how do they do it so well? The ships crew was always a amazing and so much joy to watch them work as a team , what a treat. Captain Kate McCue was a treat in itself, I had the opportunity to talk with her and get a photo, a true American captain. I thoroughly enjoyed all the excursions and shipboard activities, oddly enough the best pasta meal we had was in Croatia at the oyster bay. The return home flight went off without a hitch and we did have a friend pick us up in Dulles as you suggested and I was home asleep before our connecter left Dulles I think it's important to let professionals know when they do good just as important when they don't, so please take a moment and be proud of your work because you did a great job for us and we thank you for that. Where not generally cruise people but we are saving our money for our next one and will be reaching out to you when the time comes, thank you and keep up the good work. read more

I cannot recommend Shelby highly enough. She has a 'heart for service' that is becoming rare in this industry. She doesn't just book trips; she crafts experiences based on a deep understanding of my specific needs. If you're tired of generic AI-generated itineraries that don't know the difference between a tourist trap and a hidden gem, you need Shelby in your life. She isn't just a travel agent; she is a genuine travel guru. Shelby delivers exactly what an algorithm cannot: true anticipation of my needs. She stays ahead of every industry trend and is constantly seeking the absolute best value for my vacations. She's the person who calls me with a solution before I even realize there's a problem on the horizon. While most 'experts' just want a sale, Shelby invests the time to get to know you as a person. Come to think of it, she actually checks in on me more regularly than most of my own family! What truly sets her apart is her resourcefulness. Shelby is a master of the 'little details' and is always proactive about following up. Shelby has been my advocate through thick and thin, even resolving issues she didn't create with total grace. Whether we're chatting over text, email, or a phone call, she makes the entire process effortless. Foremost, I'm lucky enough to call her a friend--a fellow connoisseur who is as passionate about the world as she is about her clients. Whether you travel once a year, or like us at least once a month, save yourself the stress and just call Shelby. Shelby and her team are the BEST! read more

I have had the pleasure of working with Trevor and Cruise Web for the past few years, and I must say that their level of responsiveness and service has been truly outstanding. Trevor and the entire team at Cruise Web go above and beyond to ensure that their clients are well taken care of. From the moment I started working with them, I was impressed by their dedication to providing top-notch service. Their responsiveness is second to none. Whether I had a question, needed assistance with a booking, or had any concerns, Trevor and the team were always quick to respond and address my needs. It's clear that they genuinely care about their clients and are committed to making the entire experience as smooth and enjoyable as possible. What sets Trevor and Cruise Web apart is their attention to detail and their willingness to go the extra mile. They have consistently exceeded my expectations, and I can't thank them enough for their exceptional service. If you're looking for a travel agency that truly values its clients and provides exceptional service, I highly recommend Trevor and Cruise Web. They have made my travel experiences over the past few years truly memorable, and I look forward to many more years of fantastic service from them. Thank you, Trevor and Cruise Web, for your dedication and outstanding service! read more

My husband and I booked our seven day Alaskan cruise out of Seattle with Trevor Dentz, an excellent consultant, who got us a great deal on the new Discovery Princess. His phone # is (240) 485-1104 or email him at trevord@cruiseweb.com. We had previously used him three years ago (also for an Alaskan cruise) and were extremely impressed with his knowledge and professionalism. Trevor bent over backwards to make sure we got the best price which included all of our onboard credits, my husband's military discount and some other nice perks. Also, when the price of the cruise went down, he called Princess to make sure we received a refund. This saved us several hundred dollars more! Our cruise was fantastic, and thanks to Trevor, his advice was the deciding factor that helped us choose the right one. We were considering another cruise line, but he suggested that we go on the Discovery Princess because it was new and very elegant. We were so happy we took his advice because our cruise turned out to be unforgettable. If you are seriously considering going on a cruise, I highly recommend that you use Trevor as your consultant. Not only will he help you plan a memorable vacation, he will also follow up and contact you after your cruise to find out how you liked it. read more

Heather Wasson at Cruise Web has provided extraordinary service for the 3 or 4 cruises we have scheduled through her. On one trip our flight from our small airport to Chicago was delayed, causing us to miss an overnight SAS flight to Copenhagen. I suspect the SAS counter staff may have been on "unpaid overtime" as the SAS representative was extremely rude in trying to secure an alternate flight which would have us arriving too late for the cruise (note, this was Tuesday evening, and the cruise departure was Thursday afternoon). Unbeknownst to us, she booked a flight even though we specifically and repeatedly stated her offer was unacceptable. She sent us off to another carrier, and due to her incompetence, did not cancel the flight to which we never agreed (or perhaps this WAS intentional?) We were locked out of being able to book any other flight, we had no boarding pass, could not go through security, and we were relegated to the outer "hinterlands" of the Chicago airport on plastic chairs for the overnight. When I called Heather the next morning, she "unlocked" us from the SAS error and secured another flight. Good example of service, not just cruise sales. read more

I just want to say that this is the first time my husband and I have used The Cruise Web. We are taking a 20 day cruise to So. America and added a 4 day land package to include Machu Picchu in March 2020. Our consultant with The Cruise Web is Lisa Hugo and I don't know if we just got LUCKY or if all their consultant's are like Lisa, but she is THE BEST! She returned ALL my calls, returned ALL my emails, went BEYOND the call of duty, and got MORE "perks" for our guests than Oceania cruise line normally offered, which I didn't even have to ASK for! Lisa NEVER seems to be "put out" with any questions you may have...and TRUST ME, I had A LOT of questions! To me, THAT'S service beyond! She is friendly, she never forgets what you tell her and I tell her all the time, I don't know how she keeps up with all that she does! THAT'S organization! Am I happy with The Cruise Web? You bet I am...but more than that, Lisa is my "GO TO" gal! read more

We've used Arthur at The Cruise Web for our past two European vacations and found him to be an outstanding professional in his field. His knowledge, attention to detail, communications skills and responsiveness have been a real asset throughout our planning and travels. Our latest vacation included multi-night stays in three different countries and a weeklong river cruise. Arthur did an exceptional job in planning and coordinating multiple flights, airport and ground transfers and hotel accommodations. When health issues arose on this vacation he was readily available to provide valuable advice and he quickly responded to revise travel and lodging plans as needed. In the past my wife and I have planned and booked most of our vacations ourselves, but dealing with Arthur has proven the value of having an exceptional agent on our side, especially for international travel. read more

We have been repeat customers of Arthur Balin, Senior Cruise Consultant of The Cruise Web for the last fifteen years, each time leaving the entire adventure to his management, from our leaving our home to our return. He is, by far, the most outstanding travel consultant we have ever dealt with, and we have had many, as we've been to every continent several times. Arthur suggests travel calendars, hotels, land adventures, air transportation, as well cruise ship accommodations, and activities. He follows up with repeated consultations until we are certain of our plans, then he books the entire vacation, with continuing reminders of that which we can only do by ourselves. Although with The Cruise Web organization behind him, he is so consistent in solving any problem that has ever come our way, his thoughtfulness and understanding are even more appreciated. read more

The Cruise Web has made organizing our family cruise so much easier! We all live in different cities, so coordinating everything would have been a nightmare if we had tried to book everything on our own. Michelle Henderson has been a dream! She surprised us last week with a great promotion that she found for us, saving us about $1,000! Since our cruise had already been booked by her, she certainly didn't have to do any extra work on our behalf, but she did! Michelle spent several hours trying to book (individually) the promotion for each person in our family. We are all so grateful for her and the amazing customer service that she has provided. Our cruise has already started out to be a wonderful experience, and we haven't even stepped foot on the ship yet! Thank you, Michelle and Cruise Web! We all highly recommend you...five stars, for sure! read more

Goodness Gloria, What can I say about you that isn't good? You kept in touch by phone and email and made the trip so much easier. We ran into some trouble on the trip and my husband landed in a hospital in Mexico with serious illness. I didn't know who to turn to, and then I remembered you said there was a number I could call anytime if we needed anything. Cell phone service was spotty and I gave my son the number and he called you to get our travel insurance policy. From there he was able to file a claim for my husband as I was still only getting spotty texts and phone calls out. I was scared, all alone in a foreign country and you helped so much. Thank you, thank you, and thank you!!! You even called when we got back to check on us. That is TOP NOTCH service. I hope Cruise Web knows how valuable you are to them. read more

Colley, one of The Cruise Web's sale force, recently helped me book a vacation exploring the West Caribbean on RC Rhapsody of the Seas and contributed greatly to the wonderful experience my husband and I enjoyed. Colley assisted in the selection of a cabin that was not only port side but also mid ship and with a preferred view. I later came to discover that there were only eight such cabins on the eight deck, amidst much higher priced cabins and suites. Moreover, our cabin had the same footage as cabins with balconies... so a great value and one that I would never thought of requesting on my own. Overall, Colley was extremely responsive, offering a very high level of service at every point from my first inquiry to my arrival home. I would highly recommend him and The Cruise Web. read more

my wife and I worked with Arthur Balin of the Cruise Web to book a family trip to include our daughters, their husbands and two granddaughters. we had planned this trip for at least a year and half. This trip included Greece, Turkey, Croatia and Italy. From start to finish it was an incredible trip and Arthur Balin worked out all the fine details. The hotels be recommended we're beyond great, the tours he selected for us were also the very best. The transfer were all on time and very accommodating and the Oceania Cruise ship was superb. Never had such quality food and service . We want to thank Arthur Balin for all the work he put into our cruise/ land tour to make it memorable for us and our family members. We will definitely be calling on Arthur to book a future cruise for us. read more

Outstanding company!!! In an era of "do it yourself" travel planning and purchases, it can seem counterintuitive to use a "travel agency" to help. But I can tell you that this is one company worth your time. First, you will pay NOTHING extra. The cruise lines pay the company to help you. As a result, Cruise Web can often get you a much better deal than you can get on your own. Next, their staff have access to specials that you may not find, even if you go to the cruise line directly. Further, Cruise Web consultants can help you determine the right cruise line and the right trips for your interests and budget. My wife and I (along with our college-age son) have used Cruise Web for many, many years. We have ALWAYS been satisfied. I think you will be too!! read more

Web Cruise Counselor, Gloria Hanson, has worked with us for approximately the last five years coordinating our participation in several cruises. She is courteous and professional in demeanor, knowledgeable in her craft, and detailed in ensuring all aspects of our trips are precisely planned. She is very responsive to phone calls, text, and e-mail messages. She routinely goes above and beyond any reasonable expectation of service. We highly recommend The Cruise Web and Ms.Hanson. The company provides excellent value for the money, and Ms. Hanson follows with outstanding service. They are worthy of your complete trust and confidence. read more

We just returned from a 28-day transatlantic cruise to Europe from Florida and a side trip to Paris and Amsterdam. I used Max Pike-Ludwig from the Cruise Web and am so glad that I found him. He took care of all the details pertaining to our cruise as well as transportation and excursions. He then assisted us in the hotels and transportation while in Paris and Amsterdam. We have traveled extensively and I have to say hands down he's the best we've ever had. He is professional, friendly, always a phone call away with a quick response time to any issues that came up. I highly recommend him to anyone traveling. He was the best!!!!! read more

I had an exceptional experience working with Gloria Hanson as my travel advisor for a trip to Hawaii. She expertly planned a memorable itinerary with Norwegian Cruise Lines that included four exciting days of excursions on Oahu, followed by a spectacular cruise aboard the Pride of America to visit other islands. Every detail was carefully and seamlessly coordinated, making the entire trip stress-free and thoroughly enjoyable. Gloria's professionalism, attention to detail, and dedication truly made the vacation extraordinary. I highly recommend her services to anyone looking to plan a flawless travel experience. read more

I want start off by thanking Dina Averno for all her expertise, professionalism, warm kindhearted, attentive and always following through as well as keeping my family updated and informed always. She's the absolute best at what she does. We would be lost without her. I am changed plans and dates many times. She is caring and patient with me. I appreciate her lots I would only work with her. I am had plenty of travel agents in the past but none can compare to her. We are a private family so no photos to share. I will take maybe 1 in the future just because of her. Thanks Dina You are one in a million!!!! read more

We had the most amazing experience with Arthur from The Cruise Web! We were expecting a simple 4-day cruise, but Arthur worked his magic and stretched our budget to an incredible 10-day Mediterranean cruise visiting 4 countries! His recommendations were spot on, making it a perfect fit for our family with kids. He went above and beyond, helping us with everything from airline tickets to hotels and transfers and dinner reservations on the ship. Thanks to Arthur's expertise, our family made memories that will last a lifetime. We couldn't be happier and highly recommend to anyone planning a cruise vacation! read more
