Testimonials
It was reassuring to have your expertise guiding us and helping to plan the perfect trip. Our individualized choices occurred without a hitch and helped us to make the trip our own. Thank you!- Kathryn R.
Crystal was amazing in helping us book our cruise trip this past summer. I was hesitant at first since I had already booked a couple cruises myself before, so I wasn't sure what was beneficial in going with a Cruise Planner. After speaking with her she was able to tell me some other details that I never thought about while booking especially details about the staterooms. She made the whole process easy. She was always quick to reply and transparent with everything she was doing. When planning our next trip, I will definitely go with her again.- Glezzelle T.
We spent too much time on busses and very little free time given.
Never docked by a town to get off the boat and explore on your own. Too many locks and traffic issues on the river. On the boat, the service was impeccable. Crew is great.- Stella S.
The last time we took a viking cruise we traveled at night and woke up in a new town. We had time to explore on our own. This trip we had to take a bus to the excursions, many times with over a 1/2 mile walk to and from the boat- Steven S.

Crystal is always on top of planning an adventure! Our trip to Japan was amazing! My husband thought we would be part of a big tour group. He was very PLEASED that the three of us got a tour guide to ourselves. The guides were local, friendly, fun, and knowledgeable! Crystal made all our connections work from Colorado to Tokyo all the way to Okinawa and home! Thanks again!- Scotti Z.
Crystal was so helpful in every possible way. She was more responsive than expected, always had a smile, and went above and beyond. I have never used a travel planner before and moving forward will NEVER not use her again.- Jaenette C.
Very caring in making sure all our needs were met- OLIVIA E.
Crystal was a pleasure to work with. This was a last minute New Year's plan and she quickly found an option and a much better price than I was getting online. Thank you for the exceptional service.- JATIN P.
Crystal setup an amazing cruisetour to alaska through princess for us and our friends. What an awesome trip! She asked us questions and ran with it. She planned and organized the perfect trip for us. Thank you so much crystal!!
Smooth sailing for our trip. Only bad accommodation was the Kingston Super 8. It had beds... The other hotels were very nice.
Thanks for putting this together for us. - Laura- Laura D.
Crystal has been wonderful! We had future cruise credit that we struggled to apply to a cruise so we reached out to Crystal. We learned that her services were at no additional cost to us and were included in what we already pay for the cruise. She helped us book our itinerary with ease and she was very knowledgeable about the ports we were headed to. When we had to cancel yet again, she was able to seamlessly transfer our cruise to a future date so we did not have to forfeit our vacation due to a pet emergency. We did not have to sit on hold with the cruise lines for hours. She also went one step further and sent us a box full of all the paperwork we needed to get on the cruise as well as goodies we could use for the cruise. Utilizing Crystal is the only way we will ever book a cruise in the future!
Crystal Johnson at Cruise Planners was efficient in providing all the information that I needed for my cruise. She was available by phone or email when I needed her. I enjoyed my cruise, despite weather conditions. I met friendly people, ate delicious food, and visited Grand Turk and San Juan. Eileen- SHIRLEY N.
Working with Crystal has been a delight. We had initially set up our cruise years ago but it kept getting pushed back due to things out of our control. We got quite overwhelmed with everything so we went to Crystal and she made everything so much better. We highly recommend her!
Crystal worked with our family spread across 3 different states to get us all on the same page to go on a dream trip. She went above and beyond to accommodate my elderly mother in law with information to help her feel more at ease with the whole process. We all had a great time. No worries about getting from the airport to the hotel to the ship and back to the airport. Everything was managed!- Donna C.
Crystal did an awesome job setting our trip up, keeping us informed and helping with all the trips paperwork & payments. Everything went so smoothly. I would definitely use Cruise Planners with any future travel plans.- Rae C.
This is a beautiful resort and Jamaican people are the happiest and friendly people.
We have never any problems on our vacations set by Cruise Planners
We had a great experience from beginning to end. Crystal was great to work with and really helped us out. We would definitely seek her help in planning our next cruise.
Crystal was fairly patient with us & all our questions. It would have alleviated some of the frustrations had she sent us the fliers for each park sooner, that tell what exactly was included at each park with the all-inclusive package. The resort she recommended was beyond anything we could have imagined, a 5 diamond resort! The resort was beautiful, very well organized, transportation ran on time, food was ecxellent, service at resort was excellent.
Crystal did an amazing job putting together our vacation and dealing with last minute changes! Everything went perfectly!
Crystal was amazing. We needed 2 separate rooms and she found the perfect locations on the ship to accommodate our needs. She organized our hotel reservation the day prior to sailing, which had free airport shuttle service. Booked a wheelchair rental for pickup at the Port and provided detailed information for the pickup & return.
The overall experience was great and would contact Crystal for all travel needs.
Crystal was so helpful every step of the way, when planning our cruise and excursions. It gave me piece of mind knowing that someone had my best interest and available for any questions/concerns as booking a cruise directly through a cruise line can be overwhelming and you never know if they are trying to sell/upgrade you on something you don't need.
Everything was set up perfectly
The facility was gorgeous and the staff was very friendly and helpful. We were there in the off season after a holiday weekend so it wasn’t crowded at all. And the weather was great too.
Crystal worked hard planning this adventure for 9 people! We had a blast and everything went smoothly!! Thank you!!
Great trip and Crystal was tremendously helpful with with planning and pre trip questions
Crystal set up a nice cruise, although the itinerary changed before sailing and we couldn’t visit a spot we wanted to see. I don’t know if the cruise line was forthcoming about why the changes were made, but once aboard we discovered the ship was down an engine and we couldn’t make all our stops due to the decreased speed. That should have been shared with us if known prior to sailing. Also, the hotel that was recommended had no shuttle to the airport which would have been nice to have. These are small things I wish the agents would have communicated if known to them. Otherwise the vacation was nice and relaxing.
Response: Thank you for your feedback. We always want to ensure our clients have the best vacation possible. In regards to the hotel since this was booked on your own we would not have known which hotel you booked or the availability of transfers. We are so happy you were able to enjoy your vacation and look forward to working with you and your family in the future.
Crystal worked very hard to plan the trip for us and made some changes to a car rental to help us out.
My hubby and I just got back from our trip to Jamaica. Crystal from BSA Travels set up the perfect getaway for us and place is in the right resort for much-needed rest and relaxation.- Maggie W.
Did a great job from start to finish- Glen M.
Crystal Johnson has been a blessing to my family in planning, rescheduling 2x this trip. We arrived in Maui on October 16, 2021 (3rd time was the charm) to flawless arranged transportation to our Resort. We stayed at the Royal Lahaina Resort without issue and enjoyed beach access for 7 days. The Luau recommended was amazing! Our time in Maui was beautiful because Crystal worked hard to make sure this was our dream trip. My daughter Blanca and I were in awe of how wonderful Crystal was to us in our needs, hopes, and dreams. We could not have planned this caliber of a trip without Crystal. We trusted her recommendations and were more than satisfied. I recommend Crystal and BSA Travels to anyone wanting a dream vacation, the security of an expert to help, and knowing Crystal and BSA Travels cares about making your trip wonderful. Thank you Crystal for everything!!- Penny G.
When we were looking for someplace to go on our honeymoon, we both knew we wanted to go someplace unique. We contacted a few travel agents and told them of our wishes and kept getting "how about Mexico or Hawaii" which is exactly what we WEREN'T looking for. Like they never heard us when we said UNIQUE- someplace a lot of people don't go! Then we found Crystal. Crystal instantly provided us with options in the Maldives, Bali and an island I've never even heard of before. She was excellent about listening to what we were looking for- a good mix of relaxation and adventure- and provided us with options. We chose to vacation in the Maldives and the process of getting everything booked was SO EASY thanks to Crystal. She even helped us book a dinner reservation at the underwater restaurant on a neighboring island and provided us with information for the dive center on the island so we could get our SCUBA certification. I never knew how much I needed a travel agent in my life and now that we've used Crystal to help us plan our amazing honeymoon, we'll definitely use her for future trips! If you're looking for someone that will listen to your wishes and go above and beyond to set up an amazing trip, look no further.- Kelly M.
Crystal is the best. We told her where and when and she took care of all the rest! So easy.
Crystal was fantastic with setting up our get-a-way to Charleston!
Crystal & Cliff Johnson are the best!!
We booked our honeymoon to Europe. Kept us informed of the covid restriction & made last minute changes promptly.
We greatly appreciated everything Cruise Planners did for our last Family Getaway! We will most definitely use them again and refer anyone and everyone we know to them as well. :-)
I just want to say thank you! We had a wonderful time. The food was amazing, everyone was super nice and energetic. All of the services were perfect. George, our butler was the absolute best. The coupons came in handy as well. The instructions were easy to understand and follow so there was no hiccups on the way in or out. I definitely want to do this trip again with the entire family!- Rosa M.
