Our bucket list experience was seamless and left us with memories we will cherish for a lifetime! Teri took the time to understand what we were looking for in our itinerary and asked meaningful questions to help plan this trip for our group of 8 people. The planning of this trip occurred over 18 months and Teri stayed engaged and kept us informed and on task in our preparations. Both Teri and Judy were able to accommodate last minute adjustments to our itinerary. We look forward to working with them again for our future travel plans.- Alice C.

We had such a great time. Mic was fabulous and made the trip for us. We would love to tour other places in Ireland with Celtic tours as long as Mic was involved. Our only cons were the fact that the last two hotels did not have air. In Waterford, our room faced the bus station and with no air we were forced to sleep with the window open. However, the street noise really impacted our sleep. The hotel in Dublin was nice. The bathroom was extremely small. The shower flooded the room each day, even when using towels to attempt to contain it. Wish we could’ve had an option for air and refrigerator in Waterford and Dublin.- Victoria J.

Chloe's Birthday Surprise trip to Hawaii was a great success! She was so happy...We had a great time from the Pearl Harbour museum to the Dole Plantation to the Honolulu Zoo to The Dolphin Quest to the Paradise Cove Luau to even just relaxing on the Waikiki Beach or at our resort pool..All of our Tour guides were a book of knowledge and history even each Uber driver we had gave us history to and from our destinations..It was definitely a trip of a lifetime and we couldn't have done it better without our travel agent and friend Lexi..She took care of all of our reservations, answered evey question & concern even checked us in to our flights...She's great at what she does and it was a pleasure working with her..Can't wait to book our next trip. For now, we will never look at a sunset or sunrise the same again.. :)- Stacey G.
My Disney trip was so smooth nothing to worry about. I don’t understand why people don’t use travel agents they do the work and find you the best deals out there. Thank you Lisa for making my trip magical and Disney Xmas party is something to see. Disney knows how to throw a party.- Jackie M.
We just returned from the trip of our lifetime. We hit #1 and 2 on our bucket list....Rome and Athens! I can't express enough how amazing Teri was to work with. She literally did EVERYTHING for us; plane tickets, ship tickets, excursions; hotels, and transportation to and from all of them. I was so nervous about handling everything, but she patiently held my hand through the whole process the entire 2 weeks went off without a hitch! We are so grateful. You can't go wrong with Teri and her team.- Relinda L.

Lisa was so helpful with our trip to Disney. It was last minute, I had SO many questions she was able to answer all of them and our trip was so smooth and great because of her!! Thanks so much Lisa!!- Brandi B.

Negril Jamaica was suggested by Teri for having the most beautiful beaches, and it was an amazing experience. Love the resort love the beaches would definitely go again.
Teri always provides excellent service. She stays on top of the reservation before the trip and provides all the information you need. It’s easy to relax and not be stressed when you book with Teri.
I reach out to Lexie told her what I was looking for. She listen to me found 3 great hotels to choose from and she explained some additional benefits of upgrading the levels. She was 100% correct . She was available for questions even during our trip and answered right away. I will definitely use her travel expertise in the future

Everything was great! From start to finish, Margaret was outstanding to work with!- Cynthia J.
Teri put a plan together for us in one day after our SECOND cruise was canceled at the last minute. She did a great job listening to the goals of the vacation and was able to get us the details quickly! I will definitely be calling Teri again for our next getaway!
Teri, help set up our extended weekend to Niagara Falls and Lake Placid for a wedding trip, everything was fantastic, and went super smooth
I love working with Teri. The process is so much easier for me and she is great at getting everything figured out for us. I am already planning another trip.
There were six individuals in our travel group and the needs were diverse e.g. different departure states, early departure from the group, connecting flights.) The needs and specifications varied but Teri handled things like a pro and exercised great patience and understanding during each interaction. She was a pleasure to work and graciously took on the heavy lifting of managing our group.
Teri is awesome! She finds the best deals and always helps with any questions/problems that arise. I'm always confident when I book trips with her.
Teri planned our Greece vacation… which was a vacation of a lifetime!!! Teri took the stress of planning away, and we were able to enjoy every minute of our vacation!- Dayna M.
Teri was a pleasure to work with. She made planning this vacation so easy. She did all the work. Thank you Teri.
Lexie did an amazing job at accommodating us on our trip. She was there every step of the way from the time we got to the airport to the day we left!
Teri Day and her team our Cruise Planner agent went above and beyond to make our vacation great!
I give Teri and Cruise Planners an A++++!! However, for my trip as a whole, it was about a 3. The resort was not as I had expected and felt the all-inclusive option was not at all worth the money. Again, not at all Teri or Cruise Planner's misrepresentation.
Lisa was the best- did everything for me and Beyond what she needed to do. Great Disney trip and many memories. Looking forward to a new Adventure next year. It makes life so much easier using a travel agent.
I decided to go in a trip the very last minute. I contacted Lisa and she made it possible. She have found a great deal and my trip was amazing. Thank you Lisa for made it possible.

First time using Cruise Planners. Kelly Weeks was our Cruise Planner, she did an amazing job.- Pamela B.
My best friend and I had such a wonderful experience working with Teri through Carpe Diem Trips! Before booking our trip, we had never been on a cruise before and of course had tons of questions. Teri answered all of our questions quickly and gave us great advice from start to finish. The entire booking process was seamless and stress free! We truly had a trip of a lifetime and I couldn't be happier with the entire experience.- Elizabeth M.
One of the best, most knowledgeable vacation planners I have ever worked with. She took care of everything for us , there was no stress at all. She had suggestions on what to do, where to go. Kept us in the loop for deals. Teri has a great passion for what she does and I won’t ever go to anyone else!- Jennifer D.
I have a feeling it would’ve been a wonderful trip. However, when my husband and I arrived at the airport in Cancun, I realized I never checked the expiration date on my passport and was denied access to Mexico. Somehow, it was also overlooked at the airport and by TSA in the United States. (note: Teri did send several upcoming trip tips and did instruct us to make sure our passports were current) Luckily, Teri was incredibly helpful. She informed me that she’s always tries to remain available when her clients are traveling. At that point, there wasn’t much we could do other than try to get my husband on a flight back to the US- Marjorie L.
Thank you Lisa for booking my trip to Cancun and making my life easier. The Hideaway at Royalton all inclusive was beautiful. This is the way to go will be using your service again for my future trips. - Jackie M.
Teri is Awesome!! She booked our 12 Day Holiday vacation in the Dominican for our family. She is VERY responsive, organized and SUPER Knowledgeable. She is working on the next trip for us now!- Kimberly M.
Teri booked our honeymoon to Paris. I cannot tell you enough good things about her. She always responds very quickly and answers any questions or concerns. She genuinely cares about her clients and gets to know your likes/dislikes to plan a perfect vacation tailored just for you! The day before we were leaving for our trip i thought i lost my passport! Brand new! This was on a Saturday while she was at her daughters softball tournament! She went out of her way to answer me and my husbands panicked questions. Luckily i found it the next morning! Teri is my only travel agent! I adore her and highly recommend her! She is a true gem. I live in Philadelphia and she accommodated everything! She definitely went above and beyond! Thanks again Teri!- Kimberly M.
Teri was amazing.I had purchased tickets to a wrestling event in Brooklyn,New York but didn't have anything else reserved. Teri found us our flight and hotel at a great price for the weekend. Then she even gave us top things to do in New York, from tours, museums, ferries, etc. Then she even went out of her way and gave us a list of best restaurants to try out. She was able to be reached at anytime with any questions I had. She definitely took the stress out of this trip. I have already recommended her to several people and will definitely use her services again. - Patricia L.
Teri booked our first Cruise Bahamas vacation!!!
She got me the best deal, answered all my questions and even drop off all the paperwork at my job �
