Melinda and Scott make booking cruises amazingly easy. They are just a text away from getting us the best deals. For our Nov '22 cruise, was able to book 4 balcony cabins next to each other.

Our first time on a cruise ship and Mr. Mrs White helped us a lot to find the perfect prices. Carnival Breeze was amazing and all the workers were very friendly, kind, and treated you as if you were family. It amazed me that our second night having dinner the waitresses knew you by name and has your drink ready for you when you got to your table for dinner. Saying is true: once you go on your 1st Cruise, you’re going to want to go on another one. Me and my husband want to do another cruise but adults only.- Melinda G.
Scott prepared us to enjoy a memorable first-time cruise.- Mary Anne S.

For 20 years, we managed our own cruise reservations…Until we met Scott/Melinda White! We have been missing out on their Expertise and Services for this whole time!

Despite delaying this trip one year and making changes Scott staid on top of it all and kept us informed of everything we needed to do. It was a wonderful trip.

Our cruise dates got changed with a week to go, so we could not go. I called Scott and he found us another cruise leaving in 3 weeks. He was so helpful. I asked him a million questions and he was so patient. Melinda and Scott will be our cruise planners as long as they are in the business.- Lori N.
I met Melinda and Scott at the Houston Boat Show. I was thankful to meet them. They were so helpful when I bookesd my Alaskan cruise. I was able to transfer it over to them & I even have another cruise booked. I love getting sale information from them all the time! Great people to work with. Always get a quick response. Love it!- Jeannie E.
Melinda is very knowledgeable about her business. I decided to take a cruise last minute and she helped with every aspect of the trip.

You won't be disappointed. The service she provides is A+ rated, friendly and personable.- Darlene M.
Our European cruise and land vacation was planned perfectly from start to finish! Melinda and Scott guided us through our options and made sure that we were making the best decisions to have the most memorable trip imaginable! We could not have done it without them.

Highly, highly recommend their services!!!! We treasure their friendship and they are now our travel planners for life! Well done, Melinda & Scott!- Lisha M.
My husband and I had decided to take a cruise for our honeymoon - which was going to be the first cruise for both of us. Planning a wedding and a honeymoon was hectic enough, but with the confusion and nervousness of a first-ever cruise, we were stressed to say the least! After meeting Melinda & Scott at the boat show, we decided to give them a shot at making the planning part less stressful. It ended up being the RIGHT choice! Scott practically held my hand throughout the entire process...and both of them were very quick to answering my emails and millions of questions! They went above and beyond and definitely contributed to making our honeymoon absolutely perfect! We will, and are currently, booking through them again! Highly recommend!- Dannie H.
My husband and I met Melinda & Scott at the Houston Boat Show. We were thinking about a cruise so we stopped and talked with them. They were very friendly and knowledgeable so we contacted them and Scott helped us plan our trip. He was great to work with and took care of the ship details so we didn't have to! He also called and updated me when a new promotion we were eligible for came along, how awesome is that?!?! We will definitely book with them again, it took the stress out of the vacation planning and eliminated the worry of "did we get the best deal". Thanks, Scott for your help!!- Rachel J.
The Sandals Ochi Resort in Ocho Rios, Jamaica was outstanding! A BIG Thank You to Melinda & Scott White for taking care of every detail from our flight plans to booking our excursion of zip lining and tubing. We couldn't be happier and are ready for the cruise on Carnival with our family which they booked for us as well.- Vickie M.
Thank you Melinda and Scott. Everything was perfect. You are a step ahead of others because of your great customer service and quick responses to questions. And thank you for the anniversary cake.........such a sweet touch!- Diane S.
Our family cruise was our first cruise with Scott and Melinda. Both of them were excellent in helping us get 3 cabins together....booking excursions...and helping with all the little details a cruise entails. We have cruised 17 times with a different travel agent and didn't realize what we were missing. I like things organized, and they made me feel totally ready. We also had an unavoidable drama happen on this cruise..and Scott's concern for our welfare was much appreciated. I would certainly recommend them for all your travel needs.- Lois S.
Thank you Melinda and Scott for making our historic 14 day Panama Canal trip from Galveston so special. It helped to have a travel agent keep us up to date and show the extra care that you two did. We were impressed to see you aboard the Carnival Freedom before it's departure from Galveston which meant that you had to spend your day seeing our small group off. Everything that you coordinated went smoothly and we appreciated the extra steps you took.- Teresa P.
Melinda and Scott White from Cruise Planners were so helpful in preparing our cruise my husband and I planned as a graduation gift to our daughter. They took time and extra care every step of the planning. We had to switch our dates after it was already planned and they took care of it. I could not had done what they were able to do working personally with Carnival. And then we were out during Harvey an extra week. Always checking in with us on our safety and care. They are truly the best choice if anyone is looking to travel the world. You can tell they LOVE their job on making you happy as you experience a trip of a life time.- Angela D.
