Testimonials
We just returned from a fabulous cruise all set-up for us by Linda O'Neal. She did all the work for us and even treated us to a special dinner for our anniversary. All we had to do was enjoy and have fun !! She is great at advising us about the ship, "RC Wonder of the Seas", and helpful hints. Linda made cruising so relaxing. She even watched to see where our stateroom was going to be and changed it when she thought we could have a better placement. Linda is so helpful and great to work with. Randy & I would definitely recommend Linda for any future cruising plans.
Setting up our son's birthday cruise was smooth and easy with Linda's help.
We got great rooms right off Central Park.
The ship, the trip, the staff were all amazing.
Favorite part was how easily everything got set up and taken care of by Linda ONeal.

Linda O'Neal was wonderful to work with booking our European vacation and cruise. We had a great experience. She was so informative when we were trying to decide on a cruise line and helpful in getting everything booked. She found us the perfect hotels for before and after our cruise, along with all our excursions. She did everything, so we didn't have too. She was always quick to respond to all of our questions. Linda did all the work and we had all the fun! We will not book with anyone other than Linda and we’re looking forward to working with her again soon!" She is the BEST!!! Thank you Linda!!!

We were very please with the service we received from Linda O'Neal. She walked us through everything and even arranged a driver to pick us up from the airport so we didn't have to drag our luggage to catch a train. She will set up anything you need. Very accommodating!! 5 stars for her services. We used her services for a mediterranean cruise and now for train travel to Switzerland!!!

Our family vacationed this past June on the Holland Eurodam in Alaska. Linda O'Neal as our travel agent and she did an outstanding job in all of the arrangements. We were traveling with 2 elderly parents and there was a lot of coordinating with transportation and wheelchairs etc. and she helped with all of my questions. Our beautiful cabins were spacious, the ship was clean, and the staff was great and knew our names by the end of the first day. I would recommend and will use Linda in all of my future travels and the Holland Eurodam was great.

Linda was a joy to work with. Always quick to reply to questions, always personable & very knowledgeable. We highly recommend her.
Last September, my wife and I began planning for a summer cruise to involve 10 family members…including five grandchildren. Fortunately, we took a friend’s advice and secured the services of Linda O’Neal of Cruise Planners - St. Pete. This could not have been a better decision. Linda helped us with all facets of our trip: cruise choice, cabin selection, pricing, everything! She even got us a great deal at a very nice Miami hotel to accommodate our early arrival.
We returned from our Royal Caribbean cruise a few weeks ago. Our entire family had a great time and it truly was a trip of a lifetime. This would not have happened without Linda’s knowledge, guidance, and support. As Linda says, let her do the work, you have the fun!
If you want to have a true professional help you to have a trip of a lifetime, call Linda. You won’t regret it.

Once again Linda planned another cruise with minimal effort by me. I appreciated the help you assisted in for this cruise for myself and our friends.
Linda was very friendly, professional, knowledgeable, and helpful. She have picked a great room for us and we had a great time on our cruise. We already booked our next cruise with Linda! Can’t wait for our next adventure. Thank you Linda :)
"Hi Linda, The trip was great overall. The cruise itself was amazing. We saw a lot of western indies. The ship was extremely organized. It was impressive. The food was very good. .... Overall it was a great vacation and definitely our best. We are happy we did it and I'd recommend it to all our friends.
You did a great job !!
The trip was an unforgettable experience! We are all so appreciative of everything you did for us.
As an expression of fabulous time we spend on this cruise, we decide to book with you a new cruise and that would be again a Celebrity cruise and this time would be a Celebrity ship “Beyond”.
Linda,
Thank you for everything !
- Nihad K.
Thank you Linda for booking our cruise. We loved the ship and food. Talk to you soon.
Linda is very enthusiastic about cruising and provides lots of helpful information to ensure a positive experience.
I have always made all my own travel plans for cruising and other trips for the past 25 years. My sister has used Linda for years and has always suggested Linda to assist, but I always wanted to do everything myself. It wasn’t until this past year in October when I had some questions reference to different cruise lines. We have always booked with Royal Caribbean. Not only did Linda provide excellent cruise advice. She carefully suggested another cruise line with a better itinerary. she was cautious on her suggestion as she didn’t want to sway us away from our original plans. We ended up going with her suggestion and we were extremely happy with her cruise selection. Our cruise was a 17 night cruise to Hawaii on Holland American. Prior to the cruise we were busy with Christmas and a trip up to GA. We got back just 3 days before we were to fly out to CA for our cruise. I still had to print everything out for the cruise along with tickets we purchased through one of her shore excursion travels sites (not the cruise line). When we received our mail there was a package/folder from Linda. She had printed everything out that we needed for our check in process for the cruise, our shore excursions tickets, our luggage tags (folded) and a printed copy of our travel insurance policy. We purchased the travel insurance through a company she uses which was cheaper than the cruise ship. Once I saw all the stuff she had already printed out and how it was nicely prepared and organized. I was able to relax a little more and I was able to concentrate on other stuff I needed to do instead of having to print everything out. Based on this one experience with Linda I have since booked two additional cruises with her and transferred two others I already had booked prior to meeting her. Linda takes her time with you and she makes sure you understand everything that is being discussed. She is very knowledgeable in the cruise industry and I highly recommend Linda to assist you in your next travel plans.

As usual, Linda made our trip exceptional! We would not normally choose the Aqua class, but Linda found a room style we would normally choose which had features and benefits that match our taste. This Apex 9248 Infinite Verandah room included the thermal suite and BLU which we thoroughly enjoyed! Without Linda’s knowledge, we would not have known it existed for a small amount more than a traditional Infinite Verandah room. We have used and recommended Linda O’Neal of Cruise Planners for over 10 years and will continue to do so forever. Looking forward to our next cruise which we are trying to plan now for this coming year. Can’t say enough good things about the Apex. We love Celebrity and look forward to The Beyond and other Celebrity ships.
Linda and Bill is very professional and helpful to all of my needs and questions. I would recommend them to all of my friends and family.
Linda & Bill continue to provide lots of help booking our travel and help with insight on things to do...I always share their info with friends when they are planning travel.
Linda O'Neal is nothing but a phenomenal travel agent bar none! She always provides valuable cruise info. & ensures her clients are well prepared with everything before their travels, she's priceless!!!
Flight cancelled Linda. Saved the day !
Linda always does a great job and is always there when she’s needed if we have questions.
Linda has gone over and beyond in every way to help me with all of my cruise and vacation plans. I would highly recommend Linda O'Neal as a travel agent!
- Patrick H.
Linda went out of her way to plan a last minute (4 days before) Caribbean cruise for us when our Galapagos trip was canceled due to flight delays. Not only did she get us on the cruise, she also secured a retreat suite even though all sites showed that suites were sold out. I can always count on Linda and will always use her when planning getaways.
Hats off to Cruise Planners....you always provide wonderful planning making our vacations stress free!!
- Dana A.
We recently went on Virgin Voyages Scarlet Lady. Ten out of ten! Best cruise ever. Richard Branson has really nailed it with this adults only cruise. Can hardly wait to go again. Thanks for planning a great trip Linda!
Linda, it was a pleasure to work with you on our trip. I didn't give you a lot to work with, but you had many more suggestions that we had ever thought about. Everything you planned for us worked out perfectly. We will definitely start looking for another trip for you to plan.
I booked my first cruise in 2010 with Linda and have booked at least one every year since then with her. She is always a pleasure to deal with. She takes care of everything for you from the initial booking to checking in and makes everything so easy. This year I had booked one with her and put a deposit down. We found out after that we would not be able to do that cruise. If I had booked directly through the cruise line I would have lost my deposit. However, because I booked it through her I got my deposit back. I highly recommend booking with Linda. You will not be disappointed! She is the best!

I recently traveled with friends in October for a European cruise, we spent 4 days in Rome, then boarded a 10 day cruise on Celebrity, it was my first overseas and cruise trip. Linda O'Neal did an awesome job, planning this trip for us. She was very helpful with tips, made sure are transfers from airport to hotel to cruise was all arranged, any questions I had, she had the answer, if she did not she got it for us! She handled everything, all we had to do was show up where we were supposed to be! I will definitely be using them again, and will recommend her and her husband at Cruise Planners of St. Pete. Thanks Linda for the trip of a lifetime!
- Beverly A.
We had a wonderful time on our cruise. Linda helped us find a cruise that really worked for us. Linda made suggestions about what to do on the ship and what events needed reservations and which did not. She took the stress out of planning and was spot on with all her ideas and suggestions!!
Linda, Thank you so much for all your help planning our cruise. It was amazing and we had a wonderful time!! The ship was gorgeous and our room was amazing. We had a great time !!
- Lori M.
Everything went perfectly.

By chance, Sally met Linda at Costco and they got talking about Cruising. Sally had taken many cruises before we got married and I only took one that was a disaster. Sally talked me going on a short Royal Caribbean cruise Owners Suite to the Western Caribbean which was fantastic. Linda got us all the perks; prepaid gratuities, drink package, free WiFi, and onboard spending. Since then we have taken over a dozen cruises booking through Linda from Royal Caribbean, Carnival, Celebrity, Oceania. Linda takes care of every detail and more. Linda always goes above and beyond surprising us on every cruise from transfers to excursions. Sally and I love Linda and Bill and can recommend them to anyone wanting a fantastic and seamless vacation!
- Henry M.

This is my 5th Cruise with Royal Caribbean. Thanks to Linda and Bill O'Neal for insuring that we would have a great time. They are Fantastic Travel Agents, who do all the legwork for you. They get the best deals for you and are always on the lookout for all those special perks that you see advertised. We have already booked 3 more vacations with them. Paris in April (Avalon River Cruise), the Baltic in June and South America next December (both with Celebrity Cruise Line). If you are looking to book any type of travel I would highly recommend them, you wont go wrong.
- Barbara B.
My wife and I have booked our cruises with Linda and Bill for years now. Linda is extremely knowledgeable about all things travel (especially cruises) and has always stirred us (no pun intended) in the right direction. We know we are getting the best deal and the best vacation every time. From Alaska to the Caribbean to Europe in a few years - we are blessed by their experience and friendship.
