Testimonials
Trip well planned and had no problems at all.
Vicki took. care of everything.- Charlon C.
We felt so blessed by the efforts of CP planning within our trip budget. It was our first overseas independent vacation and we were nervous. But every detail was planned and we felt very comfortable. Vicki was only a phone call away if we had questions.- Michelle C.
Thank you for all your help!- Jerry A C.
I could not have asked for a better travel experience. The planning, accommodations, excursions, and transportation were all first class. Thank you Vicki Morese and David Norwood with Cruise Planners for the trip of a lifetime.- Paige T.
Vicki and her team designed a seamless 11-day itinerary that covered every detail. We traveled through Madeira, Paris, Zurich, and Milan, using planes, scenic trains, private drivers, rental cars, and guided tours along the way. Every connection was smooth, every moment well planned. Our hotels were beautiful, well-located, and we felt completely safe. Best of all, the overall trip cost was significantly less than what we could have put together on our own.- Penny L.
Vicki and David are both great host and always have a fun loving group to travel with.
I think Cruise planners' excursions were not great, they are all extremely expensive and both excursions duration, were less than we expected, one snorkel excursion provided the Equipment, but put a lot of pressure for us to purchase merchandise and tips, also took us to a location where we saw very few turtles and the Baths excursion didn't provide and snorkel equipment and not tell us that we should bring that trip, in addition , the trip duration was one hour short. Thos trips are not supported by Norwegian, so if we need to get out of the boat earlier, they will not honor it . I don't really see the value for the high prices of those excursions.- Shirley P.
We have thoroughly enjoyed each trip and look forward to more adventures.

I recently had the pleasure of working with Vicki as our travel advisor for our first cruise to Alaska, and I cannot recommend her highly enough! From the moment I reached out, Vicki provided exceptional customer service that truly elevated our travel experience.
She took the time to understand our preferences and interests, tailoring the itinerary to ensure we enjoyed every moment of our trip. Vicki's knowledge of the cruise lines, ports of call, and activities made all the difference. She answered our questions promptly and thoroughly, giving me full confidence in our plans.
Once we set sail, we were amazed by the breathtaking scenery and the fantastic onboard amenities, all of which Vicki had recommended. Each shore excursion was an adventure we won’t soon forget, from glacier tours to wildlife spotting.
In summary, our first cruise to Alaska was unforgettable, thanks in large part to Cruise Planners (Vicki Morese) dedication and expertise. If you're considering a cruise or any travel plans, I highly encourage you to contact Vicki. Her commitment to customer satisfaction is truly commendable!- Shannon F.
Vicki went above and beyond for an unexpected event while on the cruise. Very much appreciated!- Sarah H.
Our travel advisors handled a tragic event in a caring and efficient manner. Then they continued to make the trip a great one for the rest of us. My confidence in them is absolute.- Jo Ann A.
Trip was planned and executed in an extremely professional manner. An especially tragic and stressful situation was handled in a calm and caring manner.- Carmen G.
They are willing to help with any question or concern, big or small. I feel very comfortable communicating with them. I don’t worry or feel anxious about trips I book with them.- Rita C.
I can highly recommend Adventures with Vicki and Cruise Planners. They did an awesome job booking my Hawaii trip. I also went on one of their bus tours. It was well planned and enjoyable.
I will definitely use for all my vacation planning.
My only comment is dropping my son's reservation in the first hotel. Everything else went flawless!- Mary B.
- Gail B.
Vicki was always available to plan, direct and/or answer questions for us. We were first time river cruisers so we learned a lot. The Danube was beautiful.- Elizabeth S.
This is our 2nd cruise planned by Vicki and I would not consider using anyone else.
Thanks.- Gary Wilbern D.
We loved the bus we traveled in - more room, comfortable seats and WiFi. Our advisor and bus driver worked together to keep us out of as much of the traffic as possible. Our advisers adjusted the tours to ensure that we saw everything on the itinerary + a few bonuses. The hotel accommodations were good, as were the breakfasts. The last hotel wasn’t the best (maybe 2 stars). It was clean. The banquet was nice, just took a long time for everyone to go thru the buffet. Entertainment was good and loud.- Deborah B.
Vickie and David are well versed and are fabulous travel advisors!!
Vicki was wonderful to travel with. She had the trip carefully planned out and it went spectacularly.- Vickie B.
Recent trip was exceptionally well organized. I value organization and attention to detail and consideration of my time very highly. In all three of these areas the Personal Cruise Planners Advisor excelled.- Carmen G.
Easy to work with, excellent with people. I will travel again with them. I would rather the gratuities for bus driver & step on guides be included in my total price.- Sheila M.
Vicki and David are the best. They always provide good hotels good food and good tours.I can depend on them To iron out any kinks along the way.I will always travel with them.- Jo Ann A.
I had a canceled flight due to weather. Vicki worked late that night to get me a new one so I wouldn't miss my ship.- Jo Ann A.
You are outstanding people!!!
Viking Cruise lines are high quality, organized, delicious food, very helpful and friendly!- Sharon W.
For me I needed shorter days- Sharon L.
Everything was wonderful. I felt very safe. Vicki was very much in control and very calm. The only thing I would change is the bus seats were too close together. Children would’ve fit in that bus much better than grown people. But the trip was excellent, and I would recommend you to Any one and everyone. I’m very much looking forward to our trip to Alaska.- Donna L.
Wonderful trip! Holiday InnExpress was exceptional! Clean. Comfy. Great breakfast! Driver Zee was a pro????????- Frances B.
Good hotels, good food, great tours. The group was lots of fun. Even had games and singing on the bus. Vicki is a fantastic travel advisor.- Jo Ann A.
The trip was great! Vicki pays a lot of attention to details and constantly checks on everyone to make sure they are good and enjoying the trip. She even went into the kitchen at one of our hotels and got coffee. My only complaint was the bus seats, they were too small and not much leg room. The scenery was amazing and all the excursions were spot on. I could have skipped the entertainment night, the food was mediocre and the entertainment was pretty lame. All in all, the trip was very enjoyable.- Beverly G.
Loved our trip to Savannah. That's been the only one I got to go on.
Very well organized.
Vicki and David are the best. Wouldn’t travel with anyone else.
Excellent planning and responded to questions almost immediately.
It was a wonderful and stress free vacation!!- Jennifer G.
Very professional. Always helpful with any question or problem. Already booked with them again.- Gary Wilbern D.
This was a trip of a lifetime with my family and Vicki made the entire process flawless! We are so grateful for all Vicki’s hard work and commitment to ensuring our trip was a success in every aspect. It is a trip we will never forget! Thank you!!
Vicki was amazing in planning our family Viking river cruise vacation on the Danube! She flawlessly guided us through every aspect of planning the trip, arranging our transportations and handicap transfers before, during and after our travels at the airports. Her industry experience in understanding what we would need at every point of the planning process, and what we would need as we were traveling, made our trip remarkably flawless! We are thrilled that Vicki gave us the family trip of a lifetime! Thank you so much Vicki!!- Susan B.
- Deborah C.
Vicki was extremely helpful in organizing our cruise. She offered many helpful tips to ensure we had a wonderful experience.- Debra K.
Our recent cruise/trip was perfectly planned with Vicki and David. We couldn't have asked for better.
Vicki was a great help in the planning of our cruise to Bermuda with NCL. She was in constant contact, offering reminders to ensure we had travel insurance, suggestions for activities and excursions, as well as a welcome home. My husband and I were pleased with our trip and recommend that you contact Vicki at Cruise Planners to help with your next vacation.- Kim D.
Loved my Rhine River cruise!!
Great trip booked by Vicki with CIE tours. Thirteen days in Scotland and Ireland. Traveling by bus with very knowledgeable drivers and tour guides.
My husband and I spent five nights in castles and had very nice motels during our trip while visiting cities like Edinburgh, Belfast, Derry and Galway.
Many different experiences were enjoyed. Natural wonders like Giants Causeway and Cliffs of Mohr, quaint little pubs like Crosskeys Inn to mention just a few.
Most meals were prepared by chefs, delicious and presented elegantly.
This vacation exceeded our expectations. We would recommend Adventures with Vicki and CIE tours.- Patsy W.
I bought insurance through you. I was pleased with the price and service
We booked a one week Viking European river cruise in 2019 through Cruise Planners. We traveled on the Danube beginning in Nuremberg and ending in Budapest. It was our first river trip, and we couldn’t have been more pleased! Every city was beautiful and we learned so much history. The ship was lovely, the food was delicious and the staff were lovely! We wish it would have been a longer trip!
Vicki and David are excellent on tours and with your travel. The trips we have taken with them have always been well organized, knowledgeable and smooth going. They have handled unexpected bumps in the travel itinerary by finding quick and easy alternatives for the group…. I highly recommend them for your travels.

Had a great trip to the island. Beautiful place. Lots of things to do. Explore, snorkel, or take it easy on the beach. You will get spoiled by the staff and landscaping at the resort.
Vicki found us a great value. She was always available and took all the stress out of planning an international vacation.- Gary K.
Vicki and David handled everything with skill and speed and saved us money over booking direct with the cruise line. Would recommend them to my friends.
My husband and I made plans to visit Greece this year so I contacted Vicki and David for any ideas outside of our current plans. Vicki suggested that we use Athens as a jump off location to take a cruise to a few other countries. This gave us an opportunity to see other counties on our bucket list without spending hours and money on a flight in the future. And, the ship offered us a comfortable and clean place to sleep, with our meals included. Working with Vicki was a great experience and we will definitely use her in the future.- Kim D.
Vickie did an amazing job listening to our interests and finding the perfect hotel for our anniversary trip to Savannah, GA. Our hotel was located in a very walkable location with perfect view on the riverfront. She shared fun tour ideas as well! We look forward to working with them again on our next trip!- Jennifer K.
Vicki was so easy to work with! We shared with her things we would like in our stay. She listened and found the perfect hotel for us. She also shared ideas for sight seeing and restaurants. We would definitely work with them again!
I have taken a number of charter bus trips with adventureswithvicki.com They are basically all inclusive and she chooses great tours for us. Love them.
David and Vicki make everything easy for the busy traveler. They personalize my itinerary based on my specific needs. I will definitely be booking with them again!
David & Vickie were very knowledgeable and helpful in booking our cruise.
