Testimonials
Sandi Dawkins is the absolute best. She helps us with everything that we need and knows all the places that we go. We have recommeded her to my parents as well as extended family for upcoming trips.- David S.
I cruised with my two sisters and a brother in law. Every part of booking was taken care of and all our million questions were answered. Thank you Tanya. Even on boarding day we had questions lol. She even helped us with our airlines questions which she didn't even book for us. THANKS SO MUCH- Sandra C.
Sandi was incredible to work with. She helped me avoid major mistakes in planning an overseas trip, suggested incredible hotels and hotspots to visit and made sure everything was as smooth as possible! Can’t wait to work with her again!- Hallie C.

My wife and I just got back from our Viking Rhine River Cruise. We had such a great time and can’t say enough about how helpful Cruise Planners was throughout the whole process. Thank you, Sandi, for making it happen for us! We can’t wait until our next one!- Lance S.
Tanya Taylor is the absolute best travel advisor ever! She's very personable, double checks the details, make sure you get all the communications that you need from the cruise line or the hotel, she's the best!- Margie L.
Sandi, thanks for all your help. We had a wonderful time and enjoyed every minute. Amawaterways does a really fine job. Our only frustration was with KLM regarding the pre-flight seat selection process and on-line check-in. Once on board, all went well. Thanks for your assistance and patience.- Tommy D.
Sandi is the best!- Randy S.
Sandi, Alex and Tanya sure know how to treat a client. We had all our questions and concerns answered promptly and ever aspect of our luxury Silversea Cruise was flawless.- Angela C.
Sandy Dawkins is wonderful!!!- Elizabeth P.
My granddaughter and I had a very special time together!- Linda K.
Wonderful trip of a lifetime. Sandi did an excellent job, however AMA Waterways could fix a few items. AMA app advertised as providing information for your trip. Trips to Egypt and Africa were not available even though AMA said they would be available
for our trip. IT WAS NOT. I would rather know the truth than being misled. The itinerary for flights to board the Zambezi Queen was changed. We landed at Victoria Falls airport and not Kasine as planned. This made for a long drive to the boat. Getting a Visa for Botswana required $45 cash per person, South Africa Rand was not accepted. Having to go through immigration each time we got off or on the the boat was a giant hassle. The small tenders are difficult to get out of to walk up a dirt bank at the landing. AMA should have the immigration officer brought to the Zambezi Queen or have an AMA representative collect Passports and take them to Immigration. This type procedure is done all over the world. The day spent in Johannesburg between Victoria Falls and the land sagari at Tintswalo was a waste of time. Time would be much better spent with an additional day on the boat or an additional day at Tintswallo Lodge. We didn’t spend $50,000 to drive/walk through to terrible slums of Soweto. If someone wanted to experience this it should be made an additional excursion fully described in the brochure. AMA representatives were wonderful, especially Frank who coordinated getting medical attention for my wife who injured her leg getting out of one of the boats going to one of the six trips through immigration. Overall an outstanding experience that could be even better if AMA can better coordinate the immigration issues.- James F.
We have used Cruise Planner Sandi Dawkins for several cruises. She is very knowledgeable and was always available to answer my questions.
I would highly recommend her for all your travel needs.
Sandi and Cruise Planners were wonderful. Kept us up to date on everything we needed for traveling International and answered all our questions in a timely manner! Would highly recommend
Sandi is extremely knowledgeable and is respectful, kind, courteous, and professional.
Sandi provided outstanding suggestions for our Dad and daughter vacation. We chose El Dorado Maroma based on her reference of the best beach and tropical atmosphere in Cancun. Sandi was spot on with the right location for us. She provided wonderful excursions and excellent transfer assistance when the company had website issues for pickup times. She was extremely responsive and handled the refund herself for one of our transfer issues. I would recommend Sandi and her company to anyone traveling, any time!- P V.
Sandi was great! I had a lot of questions and she went above and beyond to assist us. We had a great time on the cruise and really appreciat Cruise Planners and especially Sandi!- Tyler J.
It was the trip of a lifetime! Sandi was great to get back to me, answer questions and give me advice.- Todd J.
Sandi has been a huge help in helping with all our family travel needs. Highly recommend!
This was our second trip planned through Tanya and we are grateful for her help on both trips. Every aspect that she helped with was great (even if we had issues with the companies involved, it was nothing that Tanya had control over). Whenever an issue arose, she notified us and helped us to resolve them quickly. She went to bat for us when the airline kept changing our flights and managed to get us a better option. We have recommended Tanya and Cruise Planners to several friends and will continue to recommend them.- Dawn C.
Tanya has helped us, as well as several friends, plan multiple vacations, She is great to work with and always finds us the best deals.
Sandi: Here is a huge THANK YOU to you for all the work you put into our wonderful adventure on the Iberic Peninsula this Summer. We realize it happened in two chapters and we are so grateful for your help and your patience throughout. Merci beaucoup!
My husband and I recently returned from our honeymoon to the Hyatt Zilara Punta Cana. Sandi was incredibly helpful in helping us to plan and book this trip. We wanted a stress-free experience and she created just that for us. She was incredibly knowledgable when trying to decide on a resort and helped us with any travel hiccups along the way. Thank you Sandi!- Emma F.
Tanya Taylor has planned or provided advice for 4 trips for us. She's responsive, very knowledge, and so easy to work with. Recently she planned a rail trip for my elderly mom and me. The tours were outstanding because they were fun but not too strenuous. The itinerary was perfect for what we wanted. She's planning a river cruise for my husband's family. We're delighted with the service she offers.- Margie L.
I have booked several cruises through cruise planners and the experience has been excellent. Everything was done in a professional manner and the cruises was so enjoyable.
Our vacation cruise was perfect! We will cruise again!
There are always uncertainties with travel...Sandi takes those on so I don't have to.
Thank you Tanya for all your help in making this cruise a blast! Everything on the ship was great. The quality of food, entertainment & the staff was very efficient and helpful with any of our needs & wants. Everyone was friendly, courteous, and the cleanliness of the ship was immaculuate.
This was our first cruise, and Sandi made sure it was memorable. She provided valuable information in helping us shape an amazing adventure, providing timely guidance and recommendations regarding amenities, dress, events, excursions, entertainment and general "on-board" life, that made this a cruise for the record books! We could not have gotten better service and support, and consider Sandi our "Go-To" professional for future cruise travel. Thanks Sandi for an Awesome Cruise!!
Sandi was so helpful in planning our cruise and hotel nights. She made excellent suggestions and helped with fine details. She somehow magically had all the time in the world to work with us on the phone, yet also was available within minutes of our calls.
This was the most beautiful, relaxing , fun-filled, exciiting excrusions, great shopping & overall awesome vacation EVER!!!
Unforgettable Honeymoon!- Shannon M.
Every trip we’ve booked using cruise planners has been amazing. I love the VIP treatment!
Michael and I , enjoyed seeing the Hoover Dam and the Western rim of the Grand Canyon. Awesome view and beautiful like it was painted as the sun went down. And we loved seeing the Strip during the day and at night with all the lights. Just wish we had more time to see all of Vegas.- Edena T.
Sandi Dawkins has over the last several years provided suburb professional advice and helpful assistance in planning our cruises. She is always available to answer questions, to get the best deals for us, and we feel like she is personally interested in us as clients. She is also excellent in taking the initiative in communicating and follow through, etc.
Sandi Dawkins was our travel agent for our recent Norwegian Cruise to Europe. Although our experience was drawn out over 3 years due to COVID-19 pandemic, Sandi made the entire process and the delays much less stressful. She was great to work with and always able to be reached for questions. We will definitely consider working with her in our future trips.- Christopher H.
We chose Sandi for our most recent trip because she was so wonderful to work with previously. From planning to executing the trip she was always available and most pleasant to work with. We had an issue with a lost backpack in an airport and she was there by phone to navigate the details and resolution. We highly recommend her.- Tom & Sarah T.
Resort was amazing. Air travel delays were brutal. Partial their fault, partial wx delays.
Cruise planners have been awesome! From beginning to End, both of you have made my trips a breeze. Every question has been answered and the trips were navigated with ease.
Sandi is there to manage all the details....all I have to do is pack and enjoy!
Great service. Sandi is always very responsive and helpful
Sandi was helpful and professional. Any questions we had she made the necessary contacts to answer all of our concerns
Sandi was excellent. She was always responsive and pushed to resolve the issues that arose. I'm already working with her to book my next cruise.
Sandi was easy to work with, answered all our questions pre trip, and assisted when questions arose on the trip. Highly recommend.
We have had incredible service from Sandi and Angela. They are the best, taking care of every detail. No unwanted surprises, but some great unexpected treats.
I have traveled many times with my family as well as sponsored trips. I’ve taken as many as 32. Cruise planners has always assisted me. They are courteous, and responsive. They have proven over and over to be the best. I recommend them to all my friends and coworkers and many have called and scheduled trips. Call cruise planners today. They are your one stop shop for all things travel! You won’t be sorry.
I have not worked with a cruise planner before. Sandi is my first experience. I will never go elsewhere! She was great to work with. And when I called her from the airport early in the morning on the day of departure in a panic, she was there for me. Now that is first rate service!
Never went wrong with any trip traveling is a plus with Sandi
CruisePlanners has been amazing in our travel experiences. They take all the work off our hands and have a weath of info and help for any travel we may be interested in. I HIGHLY recommend having them help in your next traval adventure!
Sandi Dawkins of Cruise Planners was simply amazing! She helped us in every little detail of our cruise and answered every question we had. Her knowledge of the industry, professionalism and customer service are absolutely top-notch and made our experience so easy and enjoyable. We already booked another cruise with her!
We spent the beginning of January on the Island Princess sailing from Los Angeles, through the Panama Canal, and ending in Fort Lauderdale. This was our second full transit with Princess and we loved it more than the first.
The two ports in Mexico were not our kind of ports, so we enjoyed the pool on those days after disembarking just long enough to send our granddaughter a postcard.
Nicaragua was once again amazing! We got up close and personal with an active volcano. We then went on to Grenada, which I must say surprised me a little. I really didn't know much about this city. I, of course, had heard of the unrest and fighting in the 70's but that was about it. Our guide was from Grenada and very informative I highly suggest taking the excursion that takes you into Grenada.
Costa Rica found us at another volcano with the fog and mist flying so low that we only got a quick peek at the crater itself but we saw it! We saw a local coffee field where the beans were being hand picked and enjoyed the best cup of coffee we had on the trip!
The other ports, Columbia and Aruba, were not meant to be, as my darling hubby came down with the flu. We immediately went to medical and he was given medication to make him comfortable and we were both given Tamiflu, him to shorten the length of illness and me to prevent it. He was quarantined in our stateroom until he was 24 hours without a fever. A lot of passengers were affected and I must commend the ships medical team for handling the situation.
We disembarked in Fort Lauderdale without our luggage. We used the service of sending it directly to the airport and recommend it to anyone who qualifies. A minimal fee gets your bags to your end destination before you have to bother with them!
It was a wonderful beginning of winter vacation. Thanks Sandi and Angela for always taking such good care of us!
