Testimonials

At 67 & 68 years old, we wanted an all inclusive, adult-only resort with loads of excursion opportunities. Dorothy Flannery offered several selections and helped pick the best resort for us on St. Lucia. Ocean view accommodations were wonderful and food far exceeded our expectations as foodies. Excursions included speed boats, power snorkeling, dune buggies, zip lines, mud baths, waterfalls, private driver tour (fabulous 5 hours), etc. And, of course, music and dancing every night. Thanks Dorothy!! - David C.
I booked my Alaska Cruise through Topsail Journeys with Dorothy Flannery, located in Ponte Vedra. She is. a WEALTH of information! She knew the ships themselves, the shore excursions that people liked best, and the ones they didn't. I was particularly grateful for the info she gave me that I didn't even know I needed! Another big plus is how available she is. Dorothy answered the phone and my innumerable questions much later into the evening than most - sorry bout that, Dorothy, and Thanks for all your help! - Claire H.
Dorothy and Cruise Planners were originally highly recommended to me by a retired physician who would use no one else to plan his many trips. She has never disappointed, arranging two Mediterranean cruises, one Northern European cruise and one Alaska cruise. Dorothy is knowledgeable, personable and very efficient. My wife and I recommend her without reservation. - David S.

To celebrate my retirement I took my two grown kids and their significant others on a cruise. I had a wonderful time, Dorothy Flannery with Cruise Planners made the experience a great one. During the process I had to make a couple of changes and 2 of the people ended up not being able to go, and she provided them with the info they needed to get their refund. Would recommend Dorothy to any of my friends or family planning a vacation. - Sandra G.

I had many options for a cruise and didn't know how to make up my mind. Dorothy asked all the right questions to determine what I really wanted out of the cruise (I didn't really know myself!). she was patient while I mulled over the many options she presented. I finally made the big decision and was delighted with the result. Great value, perfect itinerary and length of cruise. Dorothy really knows her stuff, I wouldn't book a cruise vacation without her! - Adrienne S.
