We had the most wonderful experience working with these amazing women to plan our honeymoon! From the flights to the transportation and the stunning accommodations, every detail was handled perfectly. They made traveling out of the country for the first time such an easy and enjoyable experience, allowing us to fully relax, unwind, and just enjoy each other’s company. We couldn’t have asked for a better trip. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a seamless travel experience and will absolutely be using their services for all of our future adventures!

Just returned from an unforgettable 4-night Caribbean cruise with Virgin Voyages, sailing out of Miami and stopping in the stunning ports of Key West and Bimini. From start to finish, this trip was perfectly crafted—largely thanks to our phenomenal CruisePlanner consultants, Cynthia and Malinda. Their attention to detail, thoughtful recommendations, and genuine enthusiasm made this vacation something truly special.
The Virgin ship itself? Absolutely spectacular. Every space felt intentional, elevated, and just downright cool. The vibe is relaxed but luxurious, the entertainment is fresh and fun, and the staff—wow. Every crew member we encountered was friendly, engaging, and committed to making sure we had the best time possible.
Special shoutout to Jay, our fantastic waiter at Extra Virgin, who treated our meal like a celebration (and knew how to handle a large group of goofy sailors!).
And let’s not forget the secret magic show tucked away deep in the ship—it was an unexpected highlight that added a sense of mystery and whimsy to the trip. You could tell Virgin knows how to surprise and delight. #TheRealMagicMike
Already dreaming of the next voyage. If you’re even thinking about booking—do it. And be sure to work with Cynthia and Malinda. They’ll make sure your trip is nothing short of magical. https://maps.app.goo.gl/eYtC2KwzwBEp2mNKA

Perfect! I told Malinda what I needed and she found the perfect place for a week of relaxing.
My brief to her was running water in a forest. She found a tiny home in the woods next to a river.
We are planning a long cruise and will be using them again soon! https://maps.app.goo.gl/VDjV7RNKFNbAzxcP7
