How do you rate your cruise vacation experience? ???? Good How do you rate the level of Customer Service provided by your Personal Cruise Planners Travel Advisor? ????? Excellent How likely is it that you would recommend your Cruise Planners Travel Advisor to a friend or family member? ????? Very Likely Working with Jamie was great. Cruising is not my most preferred form of vacation, but I went to be with my brother and his wife and some of their family. This is why I rated my experience as good, not excellent. That said, we did not have any problems or glitches at all and everything was smooth sailing from start to finish. If I decide to go on another cruise I would absolutely book it through Jamie. Thank you for all of your help.
I love working with Jamie! She is very helpful and always responds quickly when I have a question. I have recommended her to my friends and family! - Joan C.

Hi Jamie, I just wanted to thank you for the great surprise waiting for each of us in the cabins this weekend on the Utopia! The chocolate covered strawberries were delicious and we truly appreciate your thoughtfulness! We had a great time with our kids and grandkids! Vicky and family and Alex and family (first cruise 45th birthday) were all thrilled on their first Oasis class experience! We really loved the ship with all its unique features and even took Allie (14) and Evan (7) on the Royal Railway! Vicky snapped up that reservation for the 4 of us with her pre-cruise shopping skills! We did so much in 3 days, all the spectacular shows and performances!
Courtney is absolutely fabulous. Always a pleasure to work with and super responsive and thorough.

Jamie and Courtney are wonderful!
Sometimes you need to kiss a lot of frogs before you find your prince(ss). When it comes to cruise and vacation travel agents, we kissed a lot of amphibians! But with Jamie and her team, we've found our Princess. She is amazing - responsive, thoughtful, knowledgeable about her industry, and have NEVER steered us wrong. We could not ask for a better partner in our travel experiences than Jamie. You'd be wise to book with Jamie...she's truly a rare, precious gem. - Jeff J.
We worked with Jamie at Cruise Planners to book our summer vacation on Icons of the Seas. She did such an incredible job, making the reservation and booking process so easy. The trip was amazing, the highlight being the ship. Never experienced anything like it. The ship speaks for itself, and the service blows you away. My family enjoyed every minute of the trip, and highly recommend Icons of the Seas. This was our first time working with Jamie at Cruise Planners. She made the process extremely simple, and we had a very positive experience. We highly recommend Jamie and her company for booking any type of vacation. - Scott B.
Jamie and her team are amazing. Not only are they responsive and attentive, but they know their industry and product like the back of their hands. Traveling to Europe on a cruise for the first time seemed daunting, but when you have professionals like Jamie who take personal interest in their clients, the focus shifts to enjoying the experience rather than worrying about the details. Jamie gets seven starts out of five!!
very satisfied with the service
I recently used Courtney to book my first ever Royal Caribbean cruise! She was so friendly and helpful and made sure to get all the little details of what I wanted. Our trip was amazing! Did have an issue with being charged for a pool towel by RC and Courtney called and got it straightened out for me. Can’t imagine booking without a travel agent to have your back and help things go smoothly.
Jamie is simply incredible! Booking a cruise with Jamie was effortless and affordable. Unfortunately, we had to cancel our trip just a day before departure. Jamie was there for us every step of the way. She made the whole cancellation process feel so smooth and hassle-free. We received a full refund within just three weeks. I wholeheartedly recommend Jamie and her dedicated team at Cruise Planners for their exceptional service. They are truly fantastic! - Janet and Alan R.
My family and I recently came back from Universal Studios Orlando, Fl. We had the best vacation thanks to our vacation planner Jennifer Bortone. She did extensive research on which hotel would be best suited for our trip and she thought the Lowe’s Royal Pacific would be an amazing choice due to the closeness to the parks and the perks you get at a premiere hotel. She was RIGHT!! We loved the convenience of being so close to the park you can walk on this beautiful path or just take the complimentary boat ride to city walk! Most of all the EXpress pass was really the way to go since it was over Winter break! Jennifer always followed up with me to see if I had any questions and even when we arrived to our hotel made sure it was to our satisfaction and if we needed anything. She also recommended great restaurants to eat at while at city walk too! I would highly recommend Jennifer Bortone when booking your next vacation she is reliable, easy to work with and goes above and beyond to make sure you will have an Amazing trip!!! - Amy W.
We almost booked online a cruise to the Caribbean when a friend referred us to Jamie. We were skeptical, still gave her a call. The rest is history. Jamie is welcoming, kind, thoughtful and not stressing to sell up on things and was able to sweeten our trip with much better cabins, onboard perks and even chocolate covered fruits awaited in the cabin for us when we boarded the ship after our first stop. We will certainly start running our travels by Jamie. The way we see it, there nothing to lose and we may actually gain something like we did in this trip we just returned from (December 2023). - F Family G.
We've booked a few cruises and excursion with Jamie. She is so friendly which makes asking questions easy. Never an issue with anything she's planned with us. - Lynne M.
always there to help - wendy r.
always go above and beyond
We loved working with Sejal to plan our babymoon to Riu Palace Cabo San Lucas. She went above and beyond to make sure we had a relaxing vacation. She helped to arrange our flight, transfers, and special perks to make our trip even more memorable! - Deepen M.
Great service, they are the best.
We had an amazing trip on RCCL Freedom of the Seas. Jamie did job getting us an awesome deal and giving us all the details of the trip. This trip exceeded our expectations and we will definitely plan our next cruise with CrusiePlanners. It was so easy. - Raul M.
Want to say thank you to Jennifer for helping us from start to finish on our cruise to the Bahamas! She was patient and kind and we never felt like we were a burden for asking anything about our upcoming cruise. She went above and beyond and we are so thankful for her. Don’t hesitate to book your next vacation with Jennifer. Thanks so much! - Kimberly L.
Although my Wife's family was already booked, Sejal booked our trip to the Riviera Maya, Mexico for our family so that my wife could be part of her family reunion during the winter holidays. Sejal was able to book us at the same resort and even near our extended family who had already arrived couple days before. She provides a complete service, from beginning to the end, and even personal follow up service during and after our holiday! She’s very helpful, and provides very thorough vacation planning advice and services, whether it’s cruises, all-inclusives, or any other adventures! I would highly recommend her for planning your every vacation! - Jit M.
Despite the fact that my wife and I had booked our honeymoon on points and air miles, Sejal helped us plan a few amazing excursions on our honeymoon trip through Phuket Thailand (see picture-elephant sanctuary). Prior to us leaving she made sure that we were comfortable with our agenda and made sure we had all the documents we needed. We would highly recommend Sejal for your future travel planning needs. - Deepen M.
We have booked many of our family holidays with Sejal over the past few years, and she has been completely successful, helpful, and extremely efficient. We booked our Hawaii islands cruise on the NCL Pride of America with our whole family of 5. Our flights, transfers, excursions, hotels were all booked exactly according to our preferences, and our whole trip was excellent and definitely memorable. One of our return flights was cancelled unexpectedly, unknown to us. However we received a personal call from Sejal who informed us of this cancellation, and told us that she had re-booked us all on another flight! What a great personal service! She took care of us even DURING our holiday! One of our bucket list item was the Galapagos on the Celebrity Flora. Our entire vacation was booked by Sejal. She was extremely efficient, helpful, and very meticulous down to the very last detail! Everything was planned for us and explained VERY clearly to us. We had absolutely no worries during our holiday! Her ability to be so completely detail-oriented was very helpful and comforting to know exactly what to expect. This made our Galapagos trip completely memorable, once-in-a-lifetime experience!!! Thank you so much Sejal for booking our dream adventures so successfully for us. We are so very grateful for her foresight! We have complete confidence in her services and will definitely look forward to further adventures with her help! - Anita M.
Sejal is a wonderful agent to work with. She worked tirelessly with me to ensure the right cruise was booked for my family. She was very quick to respond to any questions or concerns I had. Her goal was to make sure we had a memorable and stress free holiday (and we did). I have used her before and will continue using her for her exceptional knowledge, reliability and enthusiasm. - Meetali J.
My co-workers and I took a 5 day cruise to celebrate all of our 50th birthdays Our travel agent, Sejal, was awesome! She took care of all the details for us it was our first time on a cruise. She picked the perfect connected rooms and gave us tips and everything we needed to know. Can't wait to book with her again.,Thanks Sejal! - Tara L.
Sejal has been an amazing travel consultant by listening to our specific requirements and sourcing options that fit our budget and timelines. She’s gone over and above to ensure our trip surpasses expectations. We are very happy she’s been guiding us on our first major cruise and we definitely look forward to working with her in the future when it comes to planning our family vacations. - Cynthia D.
Regents Seven Seas is a fantastic cruise line that we will surely use again. Their "all inclusive" model is ideal. The staff is very well-trained and made our trip the most enjoyable ever. By the second day, they knew our names, our drink choice and when to bring it as well as our laundry preferences. Jamie was very attentive and helped with the whole process.
Jamie is the best!  I have used Jamie on numerous trips and everything always goes smooth and Jamie is always happy to assist.  It is almost as if I use “Cruise” control since I do not have to think too much as Jamie knows exactly what I want, and if I do not, she is quick to make great suggestions. Looking forward to many more trips with Jamie coordinating of course.
Yes, Jamie Zand- great travel agent
As first time cruisers we had several concerns. All were addressed before and during the cruise by Jamie and Bryan who went above and beyond expectations. They are professional, knowledgeable, patient . Their penchant for individualized service is equally balanced by their dedication to assure the best value at the lowest possible cost.
Great booking experience
jamie makes it easy to travel, she gives the peace of mind of always being able to reach her no matter where you are in the world
Sejal turned the phrase "The devil is in the details" into "The god is in the details?" Yes, with her meticulous planning of every detail of our Costa Rica vacation, she made our experience very enjoyable and flawless. From the time we landed in that country to our departure, everything was planned very well. Transportation from and to the airport, food, three resorts in different parts of the country, transportation between resorts, and activities like multiple guided hikes, horseback riding, and private catamaran excursion were perfectly planned and executed. Sejal guided us on this trip from planning to execution, including matters like insurance. We were very happy with her services and, if you are demanding travelers like us, I'm sure you will be too. She's presently helping us plan our family cruise on the Icon of the Seas for early next year. Sejal is a keeper! - Divya A.
If you are looking for a very detail oriented agent and someone who will make your trip the most organized and thoughtful experience for you and your family, I would highly recommend Sejal!! I would like to thank Sejal for an amazing job planning a surprise trip for my wife’s 30th birthday to Universal! She was great at communicating, giving us suggestions on restaurants, shows and activities given our style, and even how to navigate the parks during peak times/days! She also helped and coordinated my crazy idea of having my in-laws (who live in a different country) surprise my wife at the airport at the time we landed. Our next trip idea was to travel to Hawaii and we immediately called Sejal. We visited 3 islands, experienced a helicopter excursion, and got as many hikes in as possible with time to relax on the best beaches in comfortable resorts. All the trips & excursions were Adventurous, Relaxing, and Flawless! She is the best!! - Rak L.
Jamie was the most helpful, professional and most important the most friendly and caring travel planner.
We loved working with Sejal to plan our vacation to Mexico! She went above and beyond to make sure we had an amazing vacation experience, including making sure we got a great deal on our reservation, ensuring our flights and transfers went smoothly, and arranging special perks throughout our stay. She is very familiar with the various resorts, and she was able to provide great advice to help us plan everything that we wanted to do! We would highly recommend Sejal to anyone trying to plan a special and stress-free vacation - Chetna M.
Our family has been working with Jamie for several years now and have taken quite a few cruises with her assistance. We are so pleased with the attention to detail she always pays to even the smallest of details. We feel very confident she is booking our perfect cruise vacation every time and look forward to booking future cruises with Jamie Zand & Associates. - Carmen P.
I wish to thank Jaime Zand for making our delayed 50th Wedding Anniversary a wonderful success! She helped plan our family cruise to Alaska which we all thoroughly enjoyed! - Ellen H.

Jamie is absolutely wonderful! Not only does she book us the best vacations, but when things don’t go as expected, she is ALWAYS there to help out! She definitely cares for her customers and always goes that extra step to make sure your vacation is great! - Reinaldo C.
The best cruise planners ANYWHERE!! They helped us get every discount imaginable, including perks we didn’t even know we were eligible for and refunds when the prices came down. Plus a generous gift for booking with them once we were on board. If you are considering other travel planners - DON’T. Highly recommend, specifically Stephanie.
Cruise planners agent Jamie went above and beyond to help my family plan this cruise, and we had a wonderful time.

Plus Susan manages to do it all with a huge smile on her face, always!!!! She's just amazing!!!! Thank you so much for a fun time and I cannot wait for the next trip. - Karen L.

Jamie is the best! Always going above & beyond for her clients!
Jamie made sure that all of our travel arrangements were taken care of, without incident. She is truly a godsend to have as a travel agent. Thank you again !!
Cruise planners created a great itinerary for our cruise. Jaime checked in both before as wel as after the trip to make sure everything went smoothly and that we were happy
Jamie has gone above and beyond for us with booking these 3 cruises after my cruise last year was cancelled..
Yesterday we finally received the final refund from the cruise line, getting the to refund the 75% penalty wasn’t an easy task for you, since we cancelled our March 2020 cruise vacation due to the pandemic. The cruise was not helpful nor accommodating but you did not stop until we fully refunded. Thank you for your great disposition to help and for fighting for us! Even though our cruise didn’t happen, you have a very satisfied client, we will travel soon and will be calling you! -Rita
The best thing our family did was use Susan Bishop from Cruise Planners to help plan our family vacation! Not only did she help us with flight, hotels, excursions, but she also recommended places to dine and where to enjoy night life. As a family of 10, it is not always easy coordinating and scheduling things to do, but Susan handled everything like the professional she is. She exceeded all our expectations and I am looking forward to planning upcoming trips with Susan. - Amy E.
Jaime Zand, our travel agent has been amazing the whole process! We got great rooms with an adjoining door. She had organized our Specialty Restaurants for the week. Practically organized the whole trip. Thank you - Jim O.
I have to share my experience because if customer service and satisfaction means anything to you, The right person to choose to plan your next vacation is Jamie Zand. Although this was not our first experience with Jamie, and we already knew her attention to detail and recommendations were bang on, this trip was different and we learned first hand how she takes care of each client until the end. My husband was set to meet me in Florida on the day of our cruise, Jamie suggested booking with the cruise line as flying in same day could be risky(she wasn’t kidding). We did so and due to the fact that his initial meeting with CBP did not go well as he met up with a grouch. He had all documents, except cruise itinerary and luggage, I had both with me in Florida. He was rejected and sent back to Canadian side as suspicious. He watched his plane leave without him. My first call was to Jamie as I was in a panic. The call came at 6:30 am but panic knows no time and I called her. She was away on a family vacation but immediatly called me back, we had a conference call with Celebrity and unfortunately we were to miss the sail away. She sprung into action putting me in touch with the emergency line at Celebrity cruise lines and they were wonderful. We were flown to Cozumel to meet our ship the next day, we stayed in a beautiful hotel and transfers were flawless. All was well that ended well. Hubby had no problems with CBP second time around, he made it on the next flight out (although too late for sail away) and all was good. Lesson learned ALWAYS TAKE CANCELLATION INSURANCE!!!!!!! You never ever know what can happen at our borders these days. Without a hint of hesitation I would recommend zfamilytravels to plan your next cruise or dream vacation. Thank you Jamie and celebrity for saving our trip!! - Jodie M.
I have cruised over 30 times and must tell you I really enjoyed booking my Cuba trip with Jamie Zand with Zfamilytravel. I didn't have to keep checking on the up dates because she paid attention to every detail and made sure that everything went smoothly. She gets you the best price and all the perks. I had such great service with her and I would definitely book with her again. She makes planning a cruise so easy. - Helene A.
Another cruise planned???? Thank you Jamie for taking such good care of us. Your attention to detail and the care you take of us each time is amazing - Jodie M.
Over winter break, we went on our first cruise with 2 other families. From start to finish, Jamie Zand had us all covered! She told us about the ship, made our reservations, arranged for us to dine together and answered all of our questions along the way. She even called us as the trip approached to make sure we had all of the required paperwork to board the cruise. I would highly recommend Jamie for your travel needs! - Heather G.
"We truly see the value in booking our cruise with you and without hesitation would do it again and again" (Jodie Margolis-Freedman). When customers are happy we are happy! Read the full testimonial below. "As we sit here and reflect on our days at sea, We keep thinking about our first conversation when this was only a dream. The Allure of the seas, can we do it? Will it be affordable? Well you had the patience for my phone calls, the expertise to make this cruise happen, not only for an affordable price but in a Ocean view Balcony as well. You made our special cruise happen flawlessly. Thank you for your attention to detail making sure we pre booked our shows as many people aboard did not know they had to and were left with no space available at most of the shows because they had no cruise planner to guide them, which is unfortunate as the shows were exceptional, especially Mamma Mia. I must mention our dinner table as you had suggested we sit with others and that just made our cruise beyond memorable, we made 10 new special friends and created a bond that will last. We truly see the value in booking our cruise with you and without hesitation would do it again and again" - Jodie M.
I wanted to thank and recommend Jamie and Cruise Planners. She made the entire process easier and stress free. The hotel was perfect and the extra day at the park she secured made it so much less hectic. We were really able to actually relax too! thanks so much Jamie - Sharon P.
Having Jamie Zand book my trip was a great relief to me. She is extremely efficient and she takes the work and frustration out of planning a trip. She has the ability to provide excellent customer service and her attention to details is above and beyond! My sincere thanks goes out to her. I look forward to booking my next trip with Jamie and will highly recommend her to my friends and colleagues. - Marcy K.
June 8, 2017   Dear Jamie and Bryan, I just wanted to let you know how truly grateful both Arthur and I are for all of your help planning our dream vacation. After having to cancel our trip on the Allure of the seas 2 years ago due to sad circumstances, we are over the moon excited to be finally booked. This morning, I was only thinking about rebooking but thanks to your expertise, patience, and tenacity in making sure that I got the best deal possible, you made it too enticing to wait. As I said to you tonight when we spoke, I have had many travel agents and have used third party websites like cruises.com etc, it does not compare to the professional and personal service we got from you. Thank you again and I have already recommended you and will continue to recommend you.  Again, thanks for making this a reality for us,  and a balcony cabin to boot!!!! You truly are the best!!!!   Jodie and Arthur - Jodie M.
June 7, 2017   Jamie,   We would like to thank you for taking care of our booking on our wonderful trip to Rio de Janeiro. Our accommodations were great. Hotel was beautiful, clean and hospitable. The location perfect! Just great getting up every morning and looking out at direct views of the beach.   Great job Jamie. I will be sure to recommend you to anyone planning a holiday.   Regards,   Sonny Solomon   - Sonny S.
May 15 , 2017   Jamie and the whole team at cruise planners went above and beyond to help plan my family trip to New York. Jamie was always available to answer questions and take care of any situation. Having Jamie's help allowed me to relax and enjoy my vacation.   Debra Clark - Debra C.
