Testimonials
Lisa was incredibly helpful as I planned, under a compressed timeframe, a family trip to Ireland (with a few days added to the trip in Scotland). The 12-day itinerary Lisa discussed extensively with me and developed, revised, and finalized with her contact in Ireland was the key to our amazing trip. Without Lisa’s involvement and support, I don’t believe our trip would have been possible. Lisa is very easy to work with and I greatly appreciated how responsive she was to my outreach via text, emails and phone calls. I highly recommend Lisa, and look forward to working with her again!
Lisa was exceptional in planning our 40th Anniversary trip to Ireland! My husband Paul and I wanted a 12-day, activity-filled itinerary that let us explore the outdoors, and Lisa delivered beyond our expectations! We enjoyed private walking tours in Dublin, Waterford, and The Burren, and unforgettable experiences like Beyond the Trees in Avondale and a coastal walk with a tasting at an abalone farm in Connemara.
Our self-drive tour included time to visit family in Cork and Bere Island, along with plenty of opportunities to explore on our own. We requested luxury accommodations, and each hotel welcomed us with special treats and handwritten anniversary cards.
Every detail was seamless, and everyone we met was warm, knowledgeable, and helpful. Even when a delay required us to reschedule our Waterford tour, the guide adjusted easily, allowing us to enjoy a memorable experience with a traditional seanchaí.
I wholeheartedly recommend Lisa Paladino to anyone planning a special vacation!- Paul Y.
Azore trip was awesome. This was my first time using Lisa as a travel agent. Everything was perfect. Air, hotels, food, tour guides. Couldn’t ask for a better organized trip. Thanks Lisa!- Sandra S.
Lisa was a great help and support system when I had questions. She definitely helped with picking a hotel and how to get a safe and reasonable transfer from the airport.- Jill H.
Lisa Paladino knows her stuff! Very knowledgeable and went above and beyond to assist us.- Denise S.
We had a great time, thank you for all you did to make this first River Cruise experience not so daunting. Arranging the rides to from the airport and back at the end of the cruise was much appreciated! Taking care of the insurance was also a big help.!- Louise F.
Lisa provided us with the various options that were available to us regarding our accommodations before, during and after the cruise. She also gave us valuable advice concerning what items we would need to bring to make our trip easier to pack for. She knows what’s necessary and what isn’t. Lisa also looks into what is specific to your needs. We really appreciate everything she did to make our voyage memorable and would highly recommend her.- Betsy C.
Lisa was excellent. She was able to find suites next to each other for our family to be together. She answered all my questions and had great travel tips.- Jean J.
Lisa made our trip easy . The hotel was excellent.- Lois P.
Lisa perfected every detail of our family’s trip to Beaches Turks & Caicos AND in the most cost effective way possible! Thanks for making our dream vacation come true & taking all the stress out of travel planning! We knew we were in the best possible hands with you and cannot wait to book with you again!- John T.
Lisa helped us plan a once in a lifetime cruise and land tour of Alaska. Everything went as smoothly as possible, and the only hiccups were minor. We met after the trip and went over the things we would change and Lisa was very eager to help us plan our next trip with those things in mind. For traveling to Alaska we learned that going at the end of the summer can mean more weather issues -
But there are chances that weather will disrupt your plans no matter what time of year it is. We would also have liked more time on the train rather than motor coaches, and some better explanations of what was supposed to happen at one or two of the excursions. All in all, though it was a fantastic trip that we would do again. Potential travelers should be aware it is an expensive trip and this is not one you want to skimp on.

Lisa you were a great help. The cruise was wonderful. My only complaint was it was sooo big. We rarely got into any of the shows, since the venue was too small.- Roberta (Bobbi) C.
Lisa helped me create an incredible itinerary for a college graduation girls trip to Greece for my daughter. She was so helpful making recommendations, finding places for us to stay and setting up fabulous excursions. We are so excited for our trip and can’t thank Lisa enough for all her help!- Cyndi M.

Being travel savvy, we didn't think we needed a travel agent, but Lisa was recommended to us and we are now very happy that we took a chance with her. She is easy to communicate with and has efficiently handled all the travel hurdles and quote requests we've asked of her (there were a LOT). The app/website is really nice and I love having easy access to our trips in one place. We look forward to continuing to work with her for our travel needs.- Gretchen F.
Lisa helped us plan the perfect honeymoon! We had an idea of where we wanted to go and what our budget was and Lisa worked with us to plan a spectacular trip. It was such a relief to have the flights, hotel and transportation all organized and ready go. I can’t wait to book our next trip with her!- Victoria A.
Lisa is a gem of a travel agent! We were booked and ready to go, Lisa notifies us that she was able to get our rooms side by side with our other travel party when it didn't seem possible initially. She went above and beyond to ensure we were happy and cared for! Appreciate you Lisa- Chadd D.
Lisa is always very knowledgeable with whatever itinerary we through at her. She has help us on many vacations so far and hopefully many more to come.- Erik F.
Lisa P has been great to work with. She stays on top everything and ensures if you have any problems she will do everything she can to get it resolved. I have now 4 trips with her planned and can't wait to go on any of them. I have sent 6 of my friends and family her way and they are happy with her also. Its nice to have someone who works for you as we don't see that often anymore. Also, anytime I have text her I have always heard back. She do not ignore you even after she has booked your trip.- Jamie A.
We had such a wonderful time on our cruise with Royal Caribbean thanks to Lisa. She kept us updated as our cruise got closer, was able to upgrade us to a balcony due to a cancellation, and gave great travel tips. We would highly recommend Lisa if you are planning a cruise. She is the best!
Lisa helped us plan a wonderful Douro river cruise including a pre-stay package in Lisbon. She was knowledgeable and very easy to work with. She helped us with every request we made. I highly recommend Lisa Paladino to anyone looking to plan a vacation trip.- Marie I.
This cruise was far beyond anything I had expected. The excursions were well planned according to what I needed. The cruise ship was outstanding in respect to the friendliness of the crew, excellent meals and always being informed about what was going on. The cruise planner made everything personal to my needs.
Booked our cruise it was easy and Lisa took care of everything. Wonderful experience
Lisa dealt with some of our last minuteness with grace! She was able to fix some booking issues we had and maintain our booking as we intended despite some booking mistakes.
Lisa was so helpful with booking our vacation and answering all of our questions. She had great advice on picking our cabin location on the ship and excursions. We had a great time! Thanks for your help!!!!
Cruise Planners went above and beyond to help us plan our dream vacation to Alaska. They worked to get us the perfect land and cruise tour combo at a price that we could afford. Lisa even took calls mid-trip and solved a post cruise hotel stay problem. Literally every detail was taken care of for us.
Another amazing vacation thanks to Lisa! Sandals South Coast Jamaica was exactly what we were looking for!
Lisa was so easy to work with, very helpful, and made planning our honeymoon a breeze!
Everything went very smoothly, Lisa was always at the ready to answer any questions.
Lisa was always available for my many, many questions!! She advised us of things we wouldn't have thought of!!
Lisa was so very helpful from assisting us in choosing the best place for our honeymoon (Sandals Barbados for the win!), to selecting which activities we'd like to sign up for while there, to assisting us pick the best flights for our budget and time constraints. Everything she described and advised was spot on! We appreciate her expertise and positive personality so much we've recommended her services to many friends and family members and have already booked another trip with her (actually texting and Facetiming with her while on our honeymoon at Sandals to make sure we got the best Sandals deal locked in for our anniversary next summer).
Amazing support for planning our honeymoon- we did not have a thing to worry about! Lisa was very upfront and honest about what to plan and what would make our honeymoon special!
yes, Lisa planned our hineymo0on to Mexico and it was stressfree. all the details were provided and travel was easy peasy. We stayed at a nice resort and had a great time
This vacation was such a treat! I especially loved the fact that I knew all the details were taken care of by our agent, Lisa. She thought of everything for us from A to Z. We haven't traveled in years and she helped us through the entire process answering questions quickly. We really appreciated everything she did for us.
Lisa made it so quick and easy to plan our dream honeymoon. She was so knowledgeable about what season we were choosing and where to go vs avoid and explained why!
Lisa Paladino helped me plan our first cruise. She is extremely helpful, professional, and easy to work with. She successfully came to my assistance when I was requesting a refund for an excursion. It’s great to know you have an advocate! We had such a great time, we’ve signed up for another cruise! Thanks, Lisa!- Gary F.
A big thank you to Lisa and Julie at Cruise Planners for arranging my trip of a lifetime to Alaska! They handled everything from hotel accommodations, flights, shipboard credit and gratuities, and shore excursions, all of which took a load off of this first time cruiser’s mind. They really worked with me on personalizing my trip, and it really turnout out to be a trip of a lifetime, with unbelievable memories that will be forever etched in my mind and heart. Thanks again for an incredible experience!
Lisa and Julie are very efficient at getting back to clients with pricing. They quickly booked our first cruise on Royal Caribbean and found us the best deal and helped to get us upgraded too. Since cruising we have received specials from them about all the cruises we might be interested in. This has helped us to explore new cruise lines that we might not have considered before. We highly recommend them.
Thanks so much to Julie Gamage and Lisa Paladino with Cruise Planners for helping us book such a great vacation! We had a blast, and all their tips and tricks for cruising made it the easiest trip ever. Rumor has it they’re cruising to Alaska next summer, so make sure to talk to them if you have any interest in going!- Alicia R.
I have recently taken three trips under the good guidance and leadership of Lisa and Julie. The first was a two week trip to Curacao, requiring international flight and lodging arrangements, car rental, and entertainment options. The flights went without a hitch from our point of origin to our destination. Our lodging was directly on the water near a perfect bay for snorkeling. Lisa had researched the island and placed us in a relatively non-tourist region, which had easy access to a national park for spectacular hiking and also to numerous beaches for snorkeling. This was a trip to paradise, thanks to Lisa and Julie’s research and planning.
The second trip, Washington, D.C. Lisa’s research led to the perfect accommodations, just outside of the city. It was easily accessible by the metro; we didn’t even have to rent a car. The highlight of the trip was a guided Segway tour that Lisa booked for us.
The most recent trip I booked through Lisa and Julie was to Iceland. Again, all the international flight arrangements, lodging, car rental, and our tour destinations and itinerary, were thoroughly and exhaustively researched to provide a carefree experience.
Traveling requires attention to detail if it is going to go well. It’s a blessing to be able to put the travel details in someone else’s hands, confidant that the arrangements will suit my needs, so that I can spend my pre-travel time not on flight arrangements but on researching the culture of my destination and making the fun decisions! - Mary F.
A vacation of a lifetime….. Lisa found me the perfect vacation. She inquired what I would like to do, what vacations I have ever taken or ones I dreamed about. I had never been on a cruise and always wanted to go on one. She found the perfect cruise for me and also found and booked all the excursions for me. Did I ever believe that I would swim with the dolphins and zip line? I also snorkeled with and fed the amazing sea turtles and stingrays. If you are looking for a vacation of a lifetime, she is the one to call.- Donna P.
