Testimonials
We are loyal customers of Carnival and after the loyalty program changes, we were eager to try another brand. We are empty-nesters and Laura suggested we try Virgin Voyages. We were hesitant as it looked so trendy and we are a farm couple. She assured us that it doesn't matter and we would love it. Virgin matched our status with Carnival and Laura did tell us to go into the cruise with an open mind that it is a different experience. We quickly learned that once we stopped comparing Virgin to Carnival, we were surprised by how much of a better experience it was. No buffet, but the food hall is way better than any buffet. I am ruined for other cruise lines. It was a great value and we are hoping to cruise Virgin again next year- Tammy H.
I first met Laura years ago when she worked for the university. She led one of the group trips I was on and always checked on us because we were a little slower than the group. I appreciated that she cared and found ways to accommodate us. When I found out that she left the university to work on her business full time, I reached out to her to see if she had any recommendations for traveling as an older couple. We can't do the speed of group trips anymore. She suggested a cruise out of Seattle for us and arranged wheelchair service at the airport and then had scooters delivered to the port to take with us on the cruise. We didn't even know that there were some handicap accessible excursion options until he mentioned. We are in our 80s and still love to travel. If you think that mobility is an issue, just let her know and she will help find accommodations.- John H.
Laura has helped us plan our destination wedding in Cancun a couple of years ago and we reached out to her again about a trip to Greece. She is so responsive and helped us navigate some flight delays late at night. We visited Athens, Santorini and Mykonos and had a great time. She planned everything from transport and hotels, as well as assisting us with dining reservations. We recommend her to all of our friends.- Jan S.
Everything went as planned.- Jennifer A.
Danielle helped us book and plan our honeymoon to Hawaii! She always responded to our emails rapidly and made sure all communication from our hotel and excursions were forwarded to us. She even helped save the day getting some excursions re-book due to weather. We got all of our excursion tickets mailed to us and she even found us a great deal on a rental car. We appreciate all of Danielle's help making this a dream trip for us from swimming with Sharks and Dolphins to zip lines, Pearl Harbor and riding horseback on the beach at sunset. It was a perfect trip!- Caitlin S.
Danielle did a phenomenal job planning my husband’s 40th birthday trip to Italy! She took all of our feedback and turned it into the perfect get away. We had phenomenal tour guides, especially in Rome. We loved our hotels and Air Canada was a great airline for us. We would absolutely recommend working with her!- Celeste P.

Always helpful, answers questions in timely manner- Susan D.
This is my first time ever using a travel agent - and I'll never go back. Danielle did an exceptional job of providing options and information for our trip. She coordinated every detail and provided recommendations along the way. While on the actual vacation, she was available and ready to make schedule adjustments based on our mood. It was an incredible experience - 10/10 would recommend Danielle Johnson specifically.- Thomas S.

Danielle was absolutely amazing, she went above and beyond to make sure our trip was seamless and so much fun… We’ll definitely use her again in the future!- Morgan H.
Danielle was so helpful in finding us a last minute Spring Break trip for our family of 5! We enjoyed a wonderful cruise to the Bahamas and with our busy schedules - I appreciated the weight of planning being lifted. She also provided helpful reminders and suggestions of items to pack. Thanks Danielle!- Kristin D.

Danielle Johnson was very helpful and easy to contact. We had to quickly alter our travel plans to get ahead of the winter storm. After our hotel stay, she checked to see how our stay was, and upon our disapproval she continues to follow up with the manager to express or issues and get a discount applied to our stay. Very efficient and very helpful. Also, guided us on excursion tips and safety tips for the area we were traveling. Excursion "Tour od Nassau" was very neat experience- Wendy H.
Danielle was so helpful in planning our first Disney trip. She worked with me every step of the way and was always available via phone or email whenever I had questions. I would highly recommend her to anyone planning a trip! Thank you, Danielle, for everything!- Amanda H.
The cruise was excellent. I very much appreciate Laura’s help with questions before the trip and her organizing the pre-cruise hotel and transfer to the ship. I am looking forward to booking again with her!- Jean D.

Danielle is exceptional. She demonstrates a deep understanding of her role and executes everything with remarkable professionalism. Working with her is a breeze, and she consistently goes above and beyond, surpassing all my expectations.- ROLANDO G.
Danielle Johnson was great in helping us with arranging excursions and transportation on a cruise we had booked through the Ohio State Alumni Association. We wanted to do some different things and she made it all happen. And when I accidentally left my iPad at the hotel in Rome, she handled getting it shipped back - what a relief. We are now using her for a trip we are taking next fall. Its great working with someone who actually cares about you and your trip.- Jeffrey F.
Our advisor took above and beyond care of us. She worked to get an iPad i left in the hotel returned and it was home before we were. We could not have been better taken care of from start to finish.- Jeffrey F.
Karina Vu is exceptional! This was our first cruise ever and she turned skeptics into fans!!! We couldn’t have done it without her insight, tips and continued guidance right from the day I first contacted her down to two days after we returned!! We’re so grateful for all her help and support. This was one of the best vacations we’ve taken as a family!!!- Raashi C.
Karina Vu booked a multiple family cruise for us earlier this year. It was such a positive and effortless experience. There were many details when dealing with multiple families and she answered all our questions promptly. When we need to book another trip, we will specifically request Karina Vu. Thank you Karina!- Jason M.
We booked our Disney cruise through Karina Vu and it was a phenomenal experience. She was thorough and informative- and even through the travel woes we experienced due to terrible weather, she checked on us to make sure we were ok. I would definitely book with them again!- Karla & James D.
I would not recommend the resort until
they update the grounds. The rooms were
updated, however, the showers were not.- Angela N.
One of the travel days on the train appeared to be four hours in route and was 6 hours so it was a wasted day since the train didn’t leave until around lunch. Our last full day we should have just flew home since we had already seen that city. Otherwise everything else was great.- Jessica B.
Danielle was wonderful and so very helpful!!- Amanda L.
Danielle Johnson was amazing in every way. This was our first Disney trip and she took care of every detail and made sure we were at the right resort for our family. Her planning and advice were professional and very appreciated. Her advice on the food plans and photo packages also were well appreciated- Kathy W.
I have to say your travel agent did a bang up job. Our cruise to Alaska was the most fun my husband and I have had in years. We were able to see Seattle for a day before our cruise took place. Thank goodness you got us a direct flight from North Carolina to Seattle. There’s no question we would plan our next trip with your agency.
My husband loves playing disc golf and he was able to play a course in Seattle and Alaska. . So please make your next trip with her travel agency.Thank you for this trip of a lifetime.- Kathleen G.
We have just returned from an Alaskan cruise. We went on Carnival cruise the Luminosa. The crew were friendly and very helpful. The cabin was clean and comfortable. The ports were all great and we saw scenery that was amazing. Cruise Planners made sure every detail was covered. We had flight and cruise and excursions were all taken care of by Laura- Buddy B.
Excellent organized service. Highly recommend!!!- Richard E.
I just came back from an amazing vacation to Quebec City and Montreal, Canada. Thanks to Danielle for suggesting the itinerary! I’d originally only looked at visiting Montreal, but Danielle learned you can train between the two cities and suggested I add a couple of days and include QC. I’m SO glad I did! What a terrific part of the world to visit and I’m so glad I went to both cities.- Jodi B.
Loved that we went into the Highlands and saw both Orkney and Skye. These pictures are of Eileen Donna Castle on Loch Duie and Urqhardt Castle on Loch Ness.- Cynthia S.
Danielle helped us plan our visit to London, kept an eye on our flights, and helped us with our group tour in Scotland.- Jill R.
Danielle has helped us plan several vacations over the past couple of years. She's helped with cruises as well as helping us select a wonderful resort in Mexico for spring break that fit all of our specific requirements including staying within our budget! She's helped us reserve dining reservations, coordinated airport transportation, trip insurance and so much more. She listens to what we are looking for and offers several options. Highly recommend Cruise Planners and Danielle!- Ashley F.
Thankful that Danielle was able to help us book lunch reservations during our nine day cruise. We enjoyed eating at the specialty restaurants during our days at sea and the prices for lunch were definitely worth the value!- Ashley F.
I went on a cruise through DeRose Travels with Danielle Johnson. It was over Christmas of 2022 when a huge winter storm hit and caused lots of travel issues. Danielle was fabulous! She was very responsive to me and so helpful with navigating flight issues and my lost luggage. I highly recommend!!- Dawn E.
Danielle has done an amazing job planning numerous trips for our family. When an unexpected issue arose, she was diligent in helping us navigate the emergency, file insurance, and get back what we incurred to get home. She has always been a great help in creating fun trips to Disney, cruises, and family vacations! I always recommend her to friends!- Jacob & Disa B.
Laura did a wonderful job making sure we were calm through some stressful flight situations. She and her team took care of the entire situation for us.
We traveled with my entire family to Iceland. Laura made sure that all of our voices were heard in what we wanted to see and do. She planned a wonderful trip for us that will leave us with lasting memories for years to come.
We are back from our trip to Scotland & England and had a wonderful time. It was so great having our agenda planned out for us and paid for in advance . We were busy from morning to night and got to see so many interesting things. We kept saying through the whole trip what a great job Laura DeRose did getting everything scheduled and set up for us. We really didn't miss a beat and only had to get out our paper documents a couple times. Other wise we just checked in and off we went!
We loved Scotland. It was so lush and green and the people were all very nice and accommodating. We loved every hotel we stayed in. The Ballachulish hotel in Fort Williams was like a picture in a book, so beautiful. They even had a golf course which Chris & Mike want to go back to so they can play! The hotel in England, The Montague on the Gardens was so accommodating. All their staff was so friendly and helpful. I would definitely stay there again if we went back to London! We added a few stops to our London agenda. We went on The London Eye and went to Saint Mary's Cathedral, The Tower of London and took a river boat down the Thymes river while we were in England. I could go on and on about so many things that we were so impressed with ( starting with Laura!????)about the whole trip but this email would be pages long!????
Thank you so much for working with us to plan our trip. It was a trip of a lifetime and we enjoyed it so much. We are already planning our next trip back to Scotland and maybe Ireland. We'll definitely reach out to you when that time comes.
Thank you again for all that you did, we will remember this trip forever!- Kristina P.
I’d never been to New York City and felt a bit anxious about planning a trip to such a ginormous location. Danielle made it easy with her hotel recommendations and suggestion to utilize a City Pass. As a result, our first mother/daughter trip was a stunning success and we had a fabulous time experiencing places I’d only seen in the movies or on television.- Cheryl C.
Everything was seamless - we loved every minute of our cruise!!! Danielle was awesome!!!
Working with Danielle was an absolute pleasure! Her expertise and attention to detail made our family cruise for 18 an unforgettable experience. From coordinating multiple preferences to ensuring seamless logistics, Danielle was helpful through every step. Her patience, professionalism, and deep knowledge of travel made our vacation not just a trip but a cherished memory for our entire family. Thank you, Danielle!- Hanna H.
Danielle provides efficient and supportive customer service. Celebrity was an easy sell; its' Broadway quality entertainment, gourmet food, and friendly ambience were everything we sought.
This was our first trip to “Harry Potter Land” & using a travel agent. Danielle is amazing in every way!
We were 2 adults traveling and she picked the perfect resort for a traveling couple that had 3 options to get to the park. We knew nothing about the area and trying to figure out all the details ourselves was too overwhelming. Her planning, professionalism, and communication are 5?? for sure. Will never book another trip without her!- Kathy W.
Danielle was super helpful before our trip to Disney, and also while we were there! I was having issues with booking Genie+ and she was able to go in and try and help and book things at 7AM- was responsive to my texts and even called me. Planning our first Disney trip was overwhelming but I felt much more prepared with her help!- Katie C.
We thoroughly enjoyed our cruise to Alaska on the Celebrity Solstice! In addition to being a beautiful and well run ship, the crew and staff were very knowledgeable and attentive to our needs. Within a few days, fellow passengers felt like family as we participated in various ship activities and dined together. Each destination offered a unique view of the culture, history and grandeur of Alaska!- Cheryl and Louis C.
Thanks to Laura for helping us plan our first cruise. She also booked us a pre-stay in Miami, flights and excursions. She had so many suggestions for our vacation including the awesome recommendation for a Little Havana foodie tour. Even when our flights were delayed on the return, she always answered the phone…even though she was on vacation herself! Thanks to Laura and Cruise Planners!- Darla J.
OMG. Laura is fabulous. She always responds quickly to my questions and I felt like she was my guardian angel. Even before I saw the alert that my flight was delayed, she texted me to make sure I was aware and made all the necessary calls to the transfer company to let them know that I would be delayed. When I thought I would miss my connecting flight, she talked me off the ledge. Luckily, all was well and I was only a couple of hours delayed to my destination. I have never used a travel agent before, but I will be calling Laura for all of my travel needs from now on.- Jennifer D.
Laura was amazing! I told her a few ideas and the location of where we wanted to go and she ran with it. She was also available to me throughout our trip answering my questions and changing our itinerary for us. I highly recommend Laura and Cruise Planners!
Danielle is very knowledgeable, friendly and prompt. She answered all our questions in a timely fashion and gave us important info I wasn't aware of. She communicated with our group on a regular basis. I feel she prepared us well for our trip! She went above and beyond reserving us a special table for dinner and sending a bottle of wine to our room. Our group had many questions and she never made us feel like we were bothering her. I highly recommend Danielle to plan a vacation!
Danielle was wonderful!!! Our room was great, our dining table was fabulous and her tips for packing and what to expect were invaluable! We had a super time on our cruise and would highly recommend her for your cruising needs!
Danielle was amazing - quick to help me with an itinerary I was struggling with for a short trip to AZ. Her communication is speedy and efficient and she took care of every detail with ease! I will encourage anyone I know to get her assistance!
Danielle was a huge help on my trip. She took care of so much. My travel partner and I had issues with cancelled flights and lost luggage and she helped us every step of the way. I will definitely request her help with future trips.- Dawn E.
Danielle was truly calm in my travel storm. I was one thousands caught Southwest cluster. My connecting flight was canceled. Danielle called me on Christmas to help find another flight and booked hotel for me. I never made it to my cruise. Danielle already working on travel insurance claim and helping me file my claims. She made my nightmare travel story little less stressful. She was also one recommended I purchase travel insurance. Thank god I did. She was also very informative planning my cruise.I can’t say enough good things about Danielle.- Michelle D.
Danielle helped us hunt for vacation accommodations with thoughtful precision. She was responsive, helpful, and went above and beyond to make sure we had just what we wanted for our trip. I would strongly recommend reaching out to Danielle for your travel needs!!- Georgia K.
We have chatted looking forward to learning more.
Laura made our honeymoon something we will never forget! She listened to our dreams for the trip and planned them so much better than we could have on our own. We appreciated her attention to detail, her advice, and her attentiveness during our travel days. We are so thankful!
Wasn't sure what to expect other than my cousin's wedding. Boy was I surprised! I don't know if I could ever do anything other than an all inclusive vacation anymore, I'm hooked. Everything went off without a hitch.- Raymond R.
Working with Laura was a dream! She handled all the details for us flawlessly and was so accessible when we had questions. Better yet, she found us one heck of a deal! Thank you, Laura!- Beth U.
Laura was great- Robert B.
Laura quickly responds to emails and gives full details on the trips, excursions and any updates.
Laura was amazing. Very thorough and all the information she shared was right on point. Will use her again for more of my travel needs.
The hotel she picked was a perfect choice. And all the suggested things to do were excellent. We had a blast. We found one additional gem to add to her list of fun things to do in Nashville it’s called the The factory in Franklin Tennessee and visit Pinchys lobster company Great beer great bartender great lobster
