Testimonials
Thanks Peter,
That worked well, and Yacht Club on Preziosa is simply amazing, from luggage drop off to boarding, to room service. I thought YC was great on Seascape, but this is a step above that!
Preziosa is smaller and older than Seascape, but we like it better so far. Beautifully decorated and maintained, great venues outside of YC. The YC suites are smaller, but much more richly decorated. The staff is awesome!
Pete has booked several trips for us and he has gone on and above expectations.
Pete is always great. He responds quickly, has always given me the best information possible and has helped me out of several tough situations with cruises and tours. A fantastic cruise agent.

Great service, prompt feedback.
Peter, oh what a wonderful trip that was. Thank you. I will like to start planning a trip for next year. My kids are off from March 27th to April 6th. I think it will be nice to go to Paris(days?) and maybe go to all inclusive on the beach in Greece or Spain. Will you please help me with that? Thank you
Peter
We are having a wonderful trip . Thanks to your help and guidance . Globus and our couple free days at the end in Paris on our own are making for a trip of fun and Memories!
We will be traveling home Thursday

I used Cruise Planners (Peter) for a World cruise. It was one of the memorable trips I’ve ever taken. They planned an itinerary like no other. I was allowed to get off the ship at various locations to explore areas of interest and rejoin them at another port. Everything was taken care of from my flights to and from destinations to arranging to have my son join me for part of the trip. Even the smallest of details were thought through. I just had to sit back and enjoy. I highly recommend them.
Pete H has been a great travel planner.
Thanks Peter. We had wonderful trip and appreciate your excellence service
Thanks you

Very happy with Peter and Cruise Planners. He was very patient answering my constant questions. He was also there for me all along the way making this cruise happen after many changes due to Covid. Thank you again Peter!
Pete does a great job, we have booked several cruises with him.
Final update, all refunds have been received. Thank you for all your years of service to us even though we never were able to do any of the trips. If it ever seems to have returned to some kind of new normal and we feel confident again we may check in with you. In the mean time please stay well and safe.

Hi, Peter –
We are back from our trip to Alaska and Vancouver.
Let me say that it was the BEST VACATION EVER!!!! We loved the ship, the food, the chamber music, our stateroom. We loved our excursions. We had a ball in Vancouver.
Thank you so much for your counsel and assistance in planning everything. You were a pleasure to deal with, and I know we were kind of airheads about the whole thing. If there is any place you’d like me to provide a positive review, please let me know. I would be happy to do it.
I cannot thank you enough!
Best regards,
Toni
Happy 4th Peter!
Overall our trip was superb! Thank you for making it happen.
We could not have been happier with the cruise staff/leadership, and of course
the food! A few unexpected bumps happened with the flights and boat, but everyone
went out of their way to make things right - if anything, these added a tad more excitement
to an already exciting trip ??
Not to worry on the referrals; you are definitely our #1 travel expert, and we look forward
to making future travel plans with you.
You made it easy.
Thank you again, and have a great 4th of July holiday; we'll be in touch.
Best Regards,
Ed & Kathy K.
The staff was incredibly attentive. One time I ordered a drink for myself and my mom at the bar and I started to pick them both up to carry to where we were sitting and all the sudden there was another waiter right there with a tray insisting that he carry the drinks for me.
The staff was personable and some of them were very fun. I looked forward to seeing Hari at breakfast everyday. He was always smiling and cracking jokes. Sometimes you could hear him joking with one of the other waiters. It gave me the impression that a enjoyed their jobs. One afternoon the captain had a barbeque just for the staff. ( happy staff= happy customers)
I was surprised by the ability to swim in the ocean off the back of the ship each afternoon. They put a gigantic inflatable trampoline in the water and created a swimming area using kayaks that were tied end-to-end and large rectangular mats that were attached end-to-end on the other side. There were maybe seven or eight children playing there each day but there was also room for us adults to be in the water while sitting on a pool noodle or hanging on to the mats.
I went ashore most of the days and my greatest fun was getting to use my French. I always felt completely safe. I think Sanary Sur Mer was my favorite. There was not much to see right there but 5 minutes away was the town of Collier. There was a little open-air train, sort of like the ones at Disney World to take you to Collier. The town had small shops and cafes and a beach (of small smooth stones). The view at the beach was of medieval castles on either side of the cove.
I also liked the last stop, Vendres. It had rows and rows of colorful sailboats in the harbor, an ornate merry go round, a visitor center, cute little shops and restaurants, a small grocery , a drugstore, scuba diving, and glass bottom boat tours. It's supposedly a very popular destination for scuba diving.
One thing I would suggest is that you make it clear that there is no time to see Barcelona. We were a little sad when we realized that the ship with dock at 8 a.m. and our flight was at noon. Also, you should know that the ship we were on could use some refurbishing. Some of the wallpaper was peeling, the metal shower curtain rings were rusty, and something was wrong with the electricity in the casino so it was not available to use . Actually someone said they were in the process of that. You could see that the deck had been sanded. Someone pointed out to me that it was a lighter shade of wood than the stained handrails. This person told me that all of the six ships are being refurbished one at a time.
But all in all, we had a wonderful time. Thanks for everything. Here are some pictures.

Hi Peter
We had a fantastic time on the trip!
So much so that we are thinking about brining the kids on a similar trip in the future. I was in the Uniworld web site and see that they offer family trips.
Peter,
We had a wonderful trip. The weather was very nice in Barcelona and nice but a little hot (104F) in Madrid. The hotels and arrangements were great. We walked a lot saw a lot and enjoyed our trip with our graduating granddaughter Madi.
Thank you for your advice and help organizing the trip.
Regards
Dale and Stevie
Hi Peter,
We returned yesterday afternoon and fought to stay awake past 7:30 pm. We are pretty darn tired but I wanted to thank you while everything is still fresh in our minds.
We had a great time and the ship worked out well, especially the kids having their own rooms. The studio, albeit small was well appointed but served the purpose. It is a great option for people who need their own space.
Every day was packed with sightseeing and the days at Sea were a welcomed relief. I’m happy to give you more feedback if you’re interested on other aspects of the trip but mostly I wanted to thank you for all of your assistance in helping us to arrange such a fantastic trip for our family. We now have a whole set of memories that we will cherish for a long time to come.
Janet, Mick, Andrea and Matt
Everything was so wonderful!!! St Lucia and Sandals was so beautiful and all the people were so nice!!! All of the Sandals locations were beautiful but we really did like La Toc the best! The helicopter ride was amazing and worth the price!. Thanks so much for helping with everything! We hope to go on another trip in 2020….maybe the Sandals in Antigua!! We will let you know and certainly plan further in advance. Thanks, again!
Thanks for everything Peter!
Out of all the trips we have taken this is one of the best and most memorable!!!
Unfortunately it went by so quickly. We are having our last lunch at The Fairmont as I write this.
Thanks
Ron R.
Yes, safe and sound and back on land…It took a few days to get our “land legs†back…as you know, but it was very nice.
We found the ship and the entertainment to be quite good…day excursions were too pricey for us and we just did our own touring. Hamilton was very pretty and historically interesting to us.
Food and staff were beyond excellent…think we gained 5 lbs apiece….anyway, it was an adventure. One we will always cherish.
Thanks to YOU, Peter, for all of your support and guidance.
You’re the best,
kc
trip was fabulous, will send some comments later....Janet
Peter I had a great time on my trip. Everything was perfect, Thank you for arranging things so well. I will definitely call for my next trip. Donald S
Thanks so much for your help in planning our Cruise. Travel Arrangements were perfect as well as room location, dining, waiters, room stewards, etc. Holland just needs to work on their entertainment offerings. We both got a nice tan and a wonderful rest. Enjoy the Holidays. Elaine and Murray
I want to say thank you so very much for your efforts in April for helping Bridget and I decide where would be the best place for our vacation. We had such a wonderful time in the Dominican Republic. The hotel was amazing, the service was wonderful, the beach was beautiful, and the Zip Line tour was really fun and exciting. Wanted to also mention that we greatly appreciated your help with coordinating with the Zip Line company about the confusion about pick up. It was something that we did not want to handle during our vacation and you resolved the issue immediately while we were putting our feet up on the beach with a tasty beverage in hand. Huge life saver. I would be more than happy to talk to your networking group about your services and promote your services to anyone within the near future. Thanks for the great memory!
Blake and Bridget
Peter,
We had a great trip and had a lot of fun. The hotel selections were very good. We had no problems with any of the reservations including hotels and transportation. Thanks for planning the trip. We will certainly tell our friends about this trip.
Thanks
