We loved the smaller River Cruise ship experience. There were 177 passengers and 65 very hardworking crew members on board. The food was delicious with a nice variety of choices for each meal and 1/2 portions were always available. The excursions were great although the weather hindered a few of them. - Jolene C.
Penny is great and very helpful. - Blake C.

Karen...Royal Caribbean is in our opinion the most organized of any cruise lines we have been on, the staff is the best. Coco Cay was very nice...however at Nassau there were 6 Cruise Ships docked at same day....impossible to move around on Nassau....would never go back there. - thomas r.
Penny gave the best advice for booking travel to Costa Rica. With her personal experience of landmarks to see in Costa Rica, she came up with a great itinerary, with Trafalgar tours. She helped me to get ready for the trip since I had never been to Costa Rica. She is easily reachable and comprehensive in her plan. Everything worked out great from beginning to end. Thank you, Penny!
Penny is a wonderful agent! She organized, engaging and loves her job and providing excellent customer service!
Penny booked a cruise for 12 of us. She addressed all my questions and helped me receive extra savings with my military ID.
Smooth Sailing on our 11 day Caribbean cruise. Thanks to Caryn for taking care of all arrangements in a highly efficient, professional, and friendly manner. - Garland H.
Caryn did an awesome job!! I know this because I listened to others horror stories that used different travel agencies. She kept us well informed and most importantly kept in touch. - Mary O.
We are soooo thankful to have found Penny Kasprzak from the Villages Cruise Planners, she makes traveling so easy compared to going through Expedia on past cruise. We adore her! She really personalized our trip by meeting with us and finding out what was right for us. We went to Alaska and just returned . We used the excursions she suggested which were close to half of the ship’s excursions and they were wonderful. She keeps in touch to make sure you’re happy with all the plans, I don’t know how she has enough time in the day. I give Cruise Planners the highest rating to give. - Beverly K.
All of the details of our trip were handled and communicated perfectly.
Karen and Penny have saved us thousands of dollars on several cruises. Their Cruise Planner app reprices current scheduled cruises each night and we reap the benefits. Also they have dealt with the cruise line for us with cancelled cruises, insurance refunds and airline reservations. They are a one stop shop for vacation planning and this service is fee free. They are both a delight to work with on your vacation needs. - LuAnn B.
I had a really enjoyable cruise. The room was very nice. The food was excellent, as was the entertainment. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The cabin attendant even went over and beyond. If he saw me coming he ran over and opened the cabin door. - Linda L.
Booking with Penny was easy and we were totally satisfied with everything - Stewart W.
We were a group of 17 ladies on our second annual neighborhood cruise. Penny was able to grant every request we had, which included rooms in the same block, dining tables next to each other, etc. This agent went over and above taking care of us. We will definitely use Cruise Planners again next year! - Edith M.
Had a great time. Loved that our cabins were together and were able to share our balconies - Linda S.
Every detail was executed. If you forgot something Penny did it already. Penny had ordered the scooter I forgot about due to a trip I was already on. The scooter was very much needed. Usually I am on top of it but again I was traveling. Penny ordered it. So grateful. The trip was so enjoyable for my parent and myself with the use of the scooter. We had a great experience on board as well. - Marilyn G.
Cruise was booked in 2021, then Covid, and two cancellations. Finally set sail and during all this time Cruise Planner's Karen Austin was right by our side. - Thomas R.
My husband, his parents and I booked a 4-night cruise with Penny. It was not mine or my husband's first time on a big ship, but it was my in-laws' first time. Penny made the process so easy, and was quick to answer all of our questions. She helped to put my in-laws' minds at ease and guided them through the process from start to finish, which they very much appreciated. Thankfully we didn't experience any issues and we were able to relax and enjoy our four glorious nights on the ship. Instead of booking our shore excursion through the cruise line, we used the company Penny recommended. It was less expensive than the same excursion available through the cruise line, and the tour was fantastic. Although we got a late start (thanks to Mother Nature) we did not feel rushed. The tour guide shared so much information! When we saw them on the ship, Penny and Karen were always very warm and friendly, and extended an invitation to join them. We booked another cruise with Penny, this time was an 8-night Caribbean cruise that sailed in January, 2023, for a family vacation with our two grown daughters. Once again the service we received from Penny was first class, and second to none. From our accommodations to our excursions, we did not experience any problems and everything was perfect. If you're looking for someone to help you plan the perfect vacation, look no further than Penny and Karen. They treat you like family and will go above and beyond to give you the highest level of service, and ensure you have the perfect vacation! We look forward to having Cruise Planners plan our next adventure! -Tammy
Penny and Karin are great cruise planners! I had a great time on a recent cruise to Australia and New Zealand. Both were very professional and VERY friendly with our group. Would travel again in a heartbeat. - Debbie G.
Karen is a very attentive and caring agent. She will find answers to questions quickly and efficiently. - LuAnn B.
We booked a cruise with Penny it was the first time myself or my husband had been on a cruise. Penny made it so easy for us, we had numerous questions and concerns from passport questions to what to pack. We had such a good time . Penny made everything so easy for us and enjoyable. Karen and Penny are so knowledgeable about all types of travel, I wouldn't use anyone else. They are so much fun we will definitely use them again and hopefully have the opportunity to travel together. Vicki - Vicki L.
Karen was the one who recommended Collette to us and she was spot on. We had seamless travel, fabulous tour manager/guide…everything was better than we expected. Karen promptly answered any questions I had. I highly recommend her. - Wendy H.
Our cruise was a once in a lifetime experience. Karen and her associate Penny were a delight to have with us on the trip. They were very organized and smoothed out any rough edges when they occurred. We will definitely have them plan more “experiences “ for us in the future.
Penny helped us plan our first (and definitely not our last!) European cruise. Having her help with flights and hotel was great and saved us a lot of legwork. She checked in many times to make sure we had the latest updates on COVID travel requirements, itinerary update, etc. She even had a lovely surprise in our stateroom to boot. We look forward to working with her again soon! - Tracy F.
Penny was so helpful in planning our perfect mini honeymoon getaway. She walked us through every step to be sure we were ready to board and had all the essentials covered. She even sent chocolate covered strawberries to our cabin. Highly recommend Penny’s services! - Kristen H.
