Enchantment of the Seas, 5n Western Caribbean 10/20/09
Hi Sally
Thank you so much for your help! We had a wonderful time! Joanne and Moe seemed especially to enjoy the trip :). We got lots of sun and had a chance to walk a bit at each port with Joanne in wheelchair and Moe in his stroller (or giving Carol a workout in her arms!). It worked out well considering.
Ate way too much. Dessert every night! Next time I need a cruise where I don't like any of the food haha! Rick probably doesn't want me around right now because I made him snack too much haha :)
We didn't try bungee but did try the rock climbing. Carol successfully rang the bell at the top :). I got too scared of the height half way up. Arlene made it half way too.
The sun was intense. Carol and Rick came back with killer tans. Moe and I look sunkissed :). Moe's got Rick's coloring so his melatonin kicks in at the thought of sun!
As soon as I can get pix organized I will send you. Mostly Moe. He is so cute and funny! He loves the camera. Hollywood here he comes!
Ready for the next cruise when Moe is :) He will be able to stay in my room next time :) BTW the interior cabin was perfect for rest...quiet dark cozy...wonderful!
Thank you for your help! :)

Just got back early this morning. Alaska was amazing. Lots of pictures. I'll send them along when I get through them all. The trip was awesome. Thanks for booking it for us. Princess was awesome, and made everything very easy. We had a great time. Rained a lot, but it didn't matter to us. Alaska rain is better than New York rain any time!
The glacier calving was awesome too. A crack that sounds like thunder, and then a piece of the glacier falls off into the water. A spectacular sight and a sound you'll never forget. I'm actually watching the video I took as I type. We didn't get to go dog sledding (which I was really looking forward to and actually rebooked it 3 times but each time it got cancelled because of the weather).
We met Jeff King, the 4 time Iditarod Champion! We went to his house, and met him and his puppies, and he gave us a tour of his kennel as well as an overview of what it is like to run in the Iditarod. It was really great...especially because I love dogs.
The train ride was nice, it was more comfortable than I expected. Very well run. Princess really did a very good job of coordinating the luggage and everything. It was cloudy out (9 of the 11 days was cloudy) but it was still beautiful. We got to see a rainbow at the end of the train ride which was a nice ending to a wonderful trip. I'll include that in the pictures as well. I'm hoping to get through all of them by the end of the weekend.
We saw lots of eagles, and some seals, a few caribou, and we saw a moose on the way to the airport. It was just eating on the side of the road. It was HUGE, and not to mention, not very pretty. lol No bears though, we were hoping to see bears.
Tons of shopping! I never knew Alaska was known for its shopping. We stuffed everything into the luggage (just made the 50lbs limit by .2lbs!) and had very heavy carry-ons. But yes, next time I do go (I plan on going back in a few years, so prepare yourself!) I'm going to have to bring a larger carry-on.

We got home late Monday night. We stayed in Orlando a few extra days after the cruise. John was just saying this afternoon that we need to e-mail you to let you know that we had a great trip. We thank you for always getting good prices for us, and additional upgrades.
Please don't send us a check for the shipboard credit that didn’t get onto our account....we're grateful to you. Consider it a gratuity..........
No doubt, you have exceeded our expectations, Sally. This was our first cruise and we all had a "wonderful time!!!" Every moment was very special to all of us and we enjoyed it a lot (just because of you and your professional assistance!)
I will be sending some photos to you, soon. I will also pass on your contact particulars to all our friends and families (of course with lots of good comments and recommendations about your special deals, quality customer service and professionalism.)
Sally, we want to book another cruise!!!! (after our trip to India - 3 months vacation from May 25th till end of August!). If you have any good deals, after September, please spare a minute to send me an email.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH, SALLY, FOR ALL YOUR ASSISTANCE TO MAKE OUR VACATION A VERY SPECIAL AND MEMORABLE ONE!
"YOU ARE THE BEST, SALLY; KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK AND KEEP FLYING HIGH. SKY IS THE LIMIT!"
With lots of gratitude,
Yours friendly,
Jamal, Dil, Malka and Marwa

Hi Sally,
We had a wonderful time! The only glitch was that they didn't have us all seated together. We had to talk with the maitre de and sort it all out. After that, all was well. My parent's room was just gorgeous!!! We loved all of the ports of call and the food was great. Thank you for all of the extras! Happy New Year.

Celebrity Xpedition, 10n Galapagos Island Cruisetour 4/17/08
Hi Sally,
This was one of the best vacations of my life. The islands, animals, and flora were all beautiful. The quality of the ship, crew, food/beverages and atmosphere were all spectacular. The weather couldn't have been better. And we had ample of opportunities to get right up close to the animals. Thank you so much for finding this cruise, it truly was the experience of a lifetime.

Celebrity Xpedition, 10n Galapagos Island Cruisetour 4/17/08
Hi Sally,
I concur with all the previous sentiments. The trip was really a blast! Celebrity was extremely well organized. The schedule was a good balance of activity and rest. They had the passengers needs all taken care of. Everything was all inclusive...and that meant everything including drinks and food on land. The ship quarters were sizeable and the public areas were nicely laid out. Everything was well maintained. The staff went above and beyond. Everyone was extremely friendly and helpful. Stacey and I even got to practice our Spanish with a very patient crew :-) The Galapagos were beautiful. Everyday you could see something new and learn fun facts. There was no shortage of exotic wildlife to take pictures of. I also think April/ May are the best months. Not only for wildlife, but also the best months for seasickness, as the water is the calmest.

I have been meaning to write to thank you for the excellent quality of service you provided us (our family in particular - especially with all the attempts to accommodate my mother-in-law's needs - including the information related to expediting the process of her passport) in booking our Carnival cruise for the convention. You were fantastic with organizing so many reservations and keeping our whole group on track!

Hi Sally:
Just wanted to Thank You so much for all your work putting our Cruise together for New Year’s. We had a great time. Had a bad day in Cozmel & could not go Snorkeling – very rough seas & winds – everything was canceled but still had a fun day. Thank you again,

Thanks a lot for your help. I can't believe that you still pursued this issue (shipboard credit) even after you got back - that is great and I will remember this more than the $50 :). I will let you know when it shows up in my account.

Hi Sally,
Thank you so much for booking the cruise for Joey and me. We had an absolute blast. The weather was great, the timing was great, the price was right on. :) Also thanks for the wine, we brought it to the performance on the last night to enjoy. Moreover, thank you for signing me up as an Royal Caribbean Crown & Anchor member on the last cruise. Thanks to that, we were invited to an 'exclusive event' for loyal members where there was some wining and dining for a select few.
We'll be sure to come to you again for any future cruises. Thanks again.

Dear Sally,
Our cruise was wonderful, and you were quite a hit. We had the best price of all our table mates, and to know the cost of our cruise went down, and you refunded our money pleased everyone. I will be sharing your info with the others, as we are all sharing emails.

Carnival Destiny, 7n Eastern Caribbean 4/10/07
Hi Sally,
Well, a big 'thank you' to you for setting up the entire cruise! We did not encounter any difficulty along the way and had a wonderful time. It was quite an experience seeing the five islands (St. Thomas, Dominica, Barbados, St. Lucia, & Antigua). We went ashore and did the tours.
On board the ship was, without any complaint as they thought of almost everything to make it a great experience. The cruise director, Lenny, was fantastic and made it a fun cruise even though we had our 'formal' moments.
Enchantment of the Seas, 5n Western Caribbean 4/6/07
Sally!!!!
The cruise was great. Thank you so much. The cake was wonderful. The wine was so thoughtful. The vouchers and coupons came in handy. The ship was really fun. We all had a great time. We are definitely cruise people.
Weather was really good. Snorkeling was ok in Jamaica, but unbelievable in Grand Caymans. We loved the ship, and seeing the ocean every day. Our rooms were very comfortable. Everyone on the ship worked very hard. We could've stayed longer, and we were all a bit sad to have to leave!

Sally,
Your thoughtfulness is prodigious! The real "cake" was the Cruise and the "icing" was the very special family time we enjoyed. A special thanks to you, both this time and next.

Sally....it was a great trip. We truly appreciate all of your hard work to make it perfect for us. You are now stuck with us.....I will not ever go shopping for anyone else to plan a cruise! Take care. Talk to you soon. I hope you have had a very happy and blessed Christmas.

We all had a good time. The cruise portion was better than expected. Turkey was the best part of the trip. I will plan on a trip next year with the kids - perhaps to Denmark, Sweden or on a barge down the Seine to Southern France. Thanks again

Dear Sally: We wanted to let you know that we had an absolutely fabulous time on our trip. The Jewel was just beautiful, and the suite was incredible, especially the service and other "perks" associated with being in the suite. We had a separate place for breakfast and lunch, and all of our needs were catered to. We felt extremely pampered. The problem is I don't know how we will ever be able to go back to not being in a suite and having all that pampering.
The excursion in Rome worked out just great. The driver was knowledgeable and there was no traffic at all. He took us to all the major sites, and knew things like when to go so as to avoid the lines--he knew, for example, that the Vatican museum had a 2 hour wait in the morning but was empty in the afternoon, so we went there in the afternoon and walked right in with no trouble. It was great being on our own without a large group. Thanks so much.

Sally,
We just got back. We had a great time and everybody loved it. The dining arrangements were terrific and on Fri, while the adults ate at the Chops Grill, the dining staff took care of the kids in the main dining room. The food at the Chops was ok, they said that they had never before had such a big group. Other than that, the service was great. Thanks for the Specialty Restaurant.

Hi Sally.
The cruise was good. I especially enjoyed my balcony, so glad that waitlist came through. The beaches were beautiful. Did a lot of reading, ate some really good food, and slept in every day, what could be better? Once again, I appreciate all your help and will certainly recommend you to family and friends.
