We often get asked if using a Travel Advisor is worth it! Of course our answer every time will be YES!
First - You are spending a great deal of money that you have planned for your vacation, wouldn't you want a professional to guide you all the way? If you love researching and planning your trips—fantastic! After you’ve found the perfect itinerary, reach out to us. We can help ensure you have all the essential details, such as visa requirements or whether to purchase foreign currency in advance.
OR you just have been to too many sites and it is all becoming a blur. That is the time to pick up the phone and call us!
We provide a high lever or service - expert advise, custom itineraries, deeper level of destination insight. AND you get US on the phone 24/7 when you call, not a call center taking orders!
We do not charge a fee. We earn commissions built into every price of the trip. If you were to go on a commercial site to book a hotel, an all-inclusive, a cruise - the suppliers have already built in commissions (except the airlines, which do not support travel advisors). So you are paying someone - and wouldn't it be great if that someone was a person you knew!
We are available to meet one on one! Or if you are faraway we can set up a zoom call.
Looking forward to hearing from you....and this is how to contact us:

Personal attention, high level of detail, all questions answered promptly, and good ideas to make our trip a positive experience.- Edward S.
Bermuda never ceases to amaze and satisfy as a port of call. Leaving from Bayonne is the way to go, there are no long airport lines and luggage restrictions. Check in and security have even been updated since last year, and were a breeze. Celebrity staff are most accommodating. There is an activity to do almost every minute of the day. If you adore sunshine, lounging at the pool is the way to go. Rooms are well appointed and bedding comfortable. Room stewards are friendly, helpful,, and simply amazing. This might become a yearly trip.- Pamela W.
We had a great experience with Joan Quigley!- Laurel A.
Excellent experience booking our girls trip to St Lucia with Joan Quigley's personalized travel advice. She was easy to reach on the phone & emailed great selections with prices included. I highly recommend her as a travel agent. We got a private car to the resort & explored the island, rode horses bareback into the ocean & more! Can't wait for our next trip!! Thank you- Bethany E.
Joan is wonderful and is quick to answer any questions I have during booking & travel.- Alexandra G.

Joan Quigley did a wonderful job of helping us to plan and execute our recent vacation. Joan was incredibly thorough and accessible throughout the planning stages of our trip, and was available to us at all times while we were travelling abroad. We would highly recommend Joan and Cruise Planners to anyone that is interested in a land, or cruise based vacation. The experience was wonderful.

I haven't cruised in 25 years. A lot has changed. Joan was always helpful and on top of the customer service. I will most definitely schedule more trips with her.
My husband and I just returned from a week at Sandals Grenada. The people at the resort were amazing. Everyone was very helpful and accommodating. I was feeling a little anxious about snorkeling as it had been a little while since I had gone. The aquatics person was very patient and kind. All of the restaurants were amazing as well. Loved the fresh blueberries. One caution is that the resort is on a hill. We were fine getting to our room but it might be a challenge for some. Consider this fact when researching your room options.- Joan Q.
Joan put together our most amazing vacation and everything was just perfect. Although our first flight was cancelled she helped us figure out a way to still get on track. SHe arranged for all of our transportation and tours while on our cruise, our hotels before and after and every detail was just perfect. We would definitely recommend her and look forward to booking our next adventure…. Thank you Joan!- Joan Q.
Joan is nothing but spectacular at what she does. My family and I have used her for years now and she has been very attentive on our planning and even if there is a hiccup while away. She does her very best to ensure you will have the best vacation. I should mention a couple years ago while vacationing in Aruba my husband ended up in the hospital, Joan was informed and immediately jumped in to try and help us every way she could being thousands of miles away from us. I will always use Joan to set up my vacations as we haven't been steered wrong yet after 5 vacations with using her.- Joan Q.
I have been working with Joan Quigley for some years now. She is always able to provide recommendations of where to go. She has her clients best interest at heart. Would recommend her to any of my friends and family.
Fantastic trip to Antarctica with Atlas! Highly recommend Atlas’ Antarctica trip. Expedition Guides were so committed to getting us out on excursions to see the wildlife and beauty of Antarctica. A trip of a lifetime.
Thank you, Joan Quigley!- Joan Q.
First things first, my now husband and I knew we wanted to go to Hawaii for our honeymoon and had a lot of interest in turtle bay on the north shore of Oahu. After speaking with some of my friends and family they recommended Joan to us for our travel needs. Man did she deliver. She made everything so easy for us and was extremely prompt in her responses and proposals. She had even requested a lenie for us, which was a very welcome surprise when we arrived.
Turtle bay on the north shore of Oahu was STUNNING!the views were breathtaking and we did take advantage of the spa and booking a couple of activities through the hotel such a turtle kayaking. We opted for club access, which allows for complimentary breakfast, lunch and hor’deurves. The hotel staff was extremely friendly and accommodating. The one thing we did not care for is how rushed we felt through our dinners on property. We did however go off property to the local food trucks for dinner a couple of nights. There are so many things to see and do! If you book this trip you will absolutely not be disappointed! It is a must do vacation!- Kristin C.
We just returned from our bucket list Alaska Cruise aboard RC Ovation of the Seas! It was a wonderful experience and Alaska is beautiful. Joan was with us the whole booking including helping us keep track of FCC along with our RC credits. No problems with our flights and the overnight stay at our hotel in Seattle was the perfect location to see alot of Seattle in a short period of time. Thanks again Joan for another great vacation. Already looking forward to Panama Canal next Spring. Karen and Steve Hughes- Karen H.
Excellent advice and well versed with the cruise limes
We have recently returned from a fabulous Viking River Cruise. Joan was instrumental in our trip going so smoothly! We could not have done this trip without her. I plan on having her help me with our future travel plans.- Diane H.
I had never used a TA before and always made all our own arrangements. Joan has been a game changer for us. i never realized all the benefits of using a professional like Joan Quigley. She kept us informed every step of the way and had many helpful suggestions that made our trip so nice.- Paul R.
Joan Quigley takes her time to show you everything available for a trip you are planning and to get you the best value. Once that is accomplished she works at making sure everything goes smoothly on your trip.- Robert Z.
We were grateful to have chosen Joan as our Cruise Planner for our very first cruise in December 2021. She helped coach and basically held our hand as we prepared and embarked on our adventure. Her guidance of dealing with health protocols was so valuable and made it seem so much less confusing as things kept changing. She was right there for us for every step. The best part is Joan and Cruise Planners navigates more than just cruises! She has also planned our other vacations which were flawless! A travel advisor is an absolute "must have" and you are in good hands as Joan plans every step and makes traveling a stress free adventure!- Kim B.
Thank you so much, Joan for advising and booking us on the most amazing honeymoon vacation! We were amazed by our first cruise on virgin voyages. Joan informed us how fun and unique the cruise line is, and it did not disappoint! She knew the vibe we were looking for and we went as rockstars and had a rockstar agent to help us with our needs and wants and really make us feel special. Also, if you are a foodie, you need to book VV cruise line - it’s a step above the rest and is truly incredible. Thank you, Joan, for your advice, expertise and making sure we had the most amazing honeymoon! We are so happy.- Carly H.
Joan, thank you for all of your help with our cruise on the Oasis of the Seas. This cruise was rebooked multiple times due to covid, and we also had many changes, modifications, and several travelers getting added and subtracted. You were able to help us make changes every step of the way, and we really appreciate you checking in on the day of the cruise via text to make sure everything went smoothly with the boarding process. We will definitely use you again!!!- Carlos P.
During the height of the coronavirus our family's desire to cruise to Bermuda was crushed three times.... Canceled again!!
Booking with Joan Quigley of Cruise Planners made everything so much easier. She got us a full refund without any effort from me. She is always available (even when she is on vacation) and upbeat. In April of 2022 we finally made the trip. Everything went so smoothly and I would definitely recommend Joan Quigley for your next vacation.- Mary F.

Joan Quigley is our amazing cruise planner. With Covid-19 going on it is hard to plan to go anywhere at this time.

I excited for Joan to help plan our next trip!
My cruise planners agent, Joan , is always ready and willing to help us with any plans we want to make.
Joan Quigley has been great throughout this pandemic. I’ve had two cruises cancelled and she has been there to answer my questions and even suggest my next cruise based off of our conversations.
Our cruise on Holland America was amazing. Expertly planned, and when I did have a question Joan was only a text message away answering my question. Her guidance before, during and after our cruise helped us to worry less and relax more!
Joan was amazing with helping us plan our cruise. First, she's very experienced herself with cruising. Second, she listens to every question you have and finds out answers immediately. Third, she makes suggestions for a smoother trip. Joan followed up after we returned to check how we enjoyed our vacation???? We highly recommend using Joan as your cruise agent.

Joan Quigley did a great job with our group! She thinks of the little things most would forget. Great communication to keep us up to date. Our group all commented to me how much better Joan was compared to others we have used.

In case I didn’t tell you enough Joan, I am so thankful for everything you did! Our trip was nothing short of amazing!
