How Does It Work?
Ultimately, our job is to do all of the heavy lifting for you so all you need to do is provide some input to get us started, review and choose your dream vacation, and have the best time of your life! We want the vacation planning to be as carefree and stress-free as your vacation will be.
Intake and Consultation
Step 1 is for us figure out what you want - your budget, your wish list, your deal-breakers. This happens through email consultations, online chats, and a comprehensive questionnaire that you will be asked to fill out. If you are traveling with companions, we will send the questionnaire to them as well, as it is important to ensure travel compatibility. We will cross reference all answers from you and your companion(s) to make sure everyone will be able to get on the same page, as well as provide feedback on your suitability as travel buddies! (see our blog Choose Your Travel Companions Wisely)

We Get to Work!
Once we have had enough back-and-forth that we truly understand your requirements, we get to work doing our research to find you 3 resorts/cruises that we feel best fit the bill. We find this to be a nice number, because it gives you a couple of options without overwhelming you with choices, and because will have gathered lots of information about what you are looking for, your perfect vacation is sure to be found at one of the three options chosen especially for you!
We Put Together Your Package
Typically, with our basic 3-recommendation option, you can expect to receive your package within 5 business days. If you are looking for a highly specific vacation or have requested more than 3 options, delivery may require additional time.
Added Bonuses
In addition to suggested itineraries, you will also receive some added bonuses to enhance your vacation experience:
-Travel advisories for your chosen destination.
-Vaccination and Visa requirements.
-General travel tips.
-The "Ultimate Packing List", specific to whether you have planned a land or sea vacation.
-Excursion suggestions.
-Any added information on your destination or mode of vacation.
-Suggested booking advice.
This is Where we Say Goodbye :(
Just kidding! You don't get rid of us until you are back from your vacation! But seriously, this is where your vacation planner will have to step back, as they are not agents and do not do the actual booking. We do, however, have two marvelous travel agents (one specializing in resorts and one specializing in cruises) that will take over here if you do not already have a preferred agent you work with. There is no fee for you using them, as they get paid by the cruise line, hotel, etc. They will help you with all of the logistical aspects of your vacation, including booking flights, hotels, transfers, cruises, payment plans, etc.
If you come up with any questions about your destination before you leave, or run into something unexpected while traveling (such as wanting advice on a last-minute excursion that you didn't plan for in advance), your planner is happy to answer what we can.
Choose Your Adventure
We send you a comprehensive package. It will include a summary of each of the 3 hotel or cruise suggestions, reviews detailing the benefits and potential drawbacks of each, a guide to each destination, and any other relevant information to make your dream vacation a reality, as well as some fun free bonuses!
