Margaret was very accommodating with our needs for wheelchairs for the trip. When the airline changed our flights, Margaret found them unacceptable and immediately found alternate flights. It was a pleasure dealing with her. Clients' needs are definitely her first priority. Making plans with her was a positive experience with minimal effort on my part. GREAT EXPERIENCE!!

My Wife and I just got back from a 16 day Panama Canal Cruise with Princess. Gerry & Margaret helped us with all the details. They made sure all details were covered. We had a wonderful time. Everything went perfectly. We've already booked a 16 day South America Cruise next December with Gerry & Margaret. They are great.

If you are looking for your next trip to be no-stress, everything taken care of for you, unbelievable follow up and a trip of a lifetime, contact Gerry and Margret and have them plan your next vacation.

My girlfriend and I had a bucket list vacation to the Antarctic and we were looking a few options to plan our trip including doing it our selves. As we worked our way through our options, we contacted Cruise Planners and we were blown away by the knowledge and experience we received from Gerry and Margret. They started off by asking us questions about what we wanted to do, what experiences we were looking for, our budget, and timelines. It was a fresh breath of air to have someone care about our trip as much as we did. After our consultation, they crafted an amazing trip to Buenos Aires, Ushuaia and Antarctica on Quark Expedition Cruises. Our trip included flights, hotels, pick ups and drop offs. The companies they contracted were friendly, prompt and fun. The hotels were top notch and located in the hearts of the areas we visited.

Our time in Buenos Aires was fabulous due to our pick up coordinator and her suggestions of places to eat and things to see. (They were exactly what we had discovered during our research) We ate our way through the city and went on several tours including the grave site of Evita!

Ushuaia was a quaint shipping town at the end of the earth. We explored Patagonia, hiked and shopped before jumping on our Antarctic cruise with Quark.

Quark was the most amazing of it all. I can't say enough about the experience of a lifetime. We chose them for their smaller ship and daily excursions to interact with the environment and they did not disappoint. From the food, staff, rooms, excursions, professionalism and fun, they had it all. From the time you woke up in the morning till you put your head down every night there were activities, education, exploration and eating (top notch food!!) Our favorite activities were going out twice a day on the zodiac boats and taking a cruise to see animal life and beautiful ice structures. It was amazing!!

On our way back we had some issues with Delta and flight cancellations. Gerry was immediate with help and responses as well as helping us make a claim with our trip insurance. Thanks for the suggestion on the insurance!

Words often cannot describe what the whole experience was like. We have been on all 7 continents and I can say this was the most beautiful. This truly was my favorite vacation. A lot of that was due to the team at Cruise Planners. Thank you so much for your help!

Hopefully some of the pictures attached can help you understand our love of this trip!

Cheers!

Cruise Planners assisted me with a combined cruise and land trip (11 days) to Alaska in June of this year. We enjoyed the trip very much and saw unbelievable scenery during the trip. There were a lot of moving parts and details involved with this trip. We used Gerry and Margaret Waller with Cruise Planners to plan and book this trip. They did a great job of handling all the details associated with this trip! Their response time was very fast whenever we had a question or needed anything associated with the trip! I am giving them a 5 star rating and will use them again in the future for any travel that we do in the future including cruises.

Start to finish Gerry and Margaret were so helpful in planning our recent cruise to Alaska. We'd never been on a cruise before, so I was looking for travel agents who would have lots of insight and recommendations. Gerry and Margaret met with us and answered all of our questions in detail. They were so helpful in booking the cruise, our plane tickets, and our shore excursions. They even printed out everything we needed before we left. We made the decision to go very last minute, but Gerry and Margaret had everything ready for us with plenty of time. The cruise itself (with Princess cruises) was a dream vacation. The ship had excellent accommodations, great staff, and tons of entertainment. I would strongly recommend you work with Gerry and Margaret.

Margaret & Gerry did the best job planning my Greek Isles cruise. They were always responsive and always eager to help with any questions I had. I highly recommend them to book your next cruise. I will be using them again 😊

We just got back from our vacation in Cancun set up by Cruise Planners. Gerry and Margaret were easy to work with and answered all our questions. All our travel plans were organized by them and our trip had zero issues. Any time we had a question I would contact them and they would reply promptly. We had a great, relaxing time and can't wait to plan our next trip. Thanks Gerry and Margaret!

Margaret and her husband were wonderful to work with and so helpful/knowledgeable about my trip to Hawaii. Her and her team booked everything and made the vacationing process smooth.
