Phil and Linda helped us plan a fantastic Hawaiian vacation. Every aspect of the trip was covered, which for us Hawaii "newbies" was such a relief. From the lei greeting in Honolulu, to all of our friendly and prompt shuttle transfers to and from hotels and airports, to the INCREDIBLE hotels and resorts they booked for us, everything was A+ and top class the entire time. We didn't have to worry about anything other than enjoying our time in Hawaii. I would recommend their services to anyone!

We cruised with Linda through Cruise Planners for the first time in May. After rescheduling our cancelled September cruise due to a hurricane, she helped us make all our changes and was patient with us throughout the whole process. She answered all our questions and made the process a whole lot smoother, which brought us a sense of much needed comfort. After boarding ship, we found out that Cruise Planners even provided us with a free dinner at one of the restaurants on the ship. It was delicious!!!! We would definitely travel with Linda and Cruise Planners in the future! - Carolee S.

Linda booked our Christmas/New Years cruise on Royal Caribbean. She got us the room we were looking to book and even when the price dropped she called back to get us in on the new promo. We saved a fee dollars and gained some OBC in addition to the OBC that we got from her. Then when our documents came she sent us an additional surprise. I definitely recommend using Linda Stern @ Cruise Planners 732-972-4171- BARBARA K.

Absolutely incredible cruise vacation to Europe that was planned and coordinated by Sherry McReynolds at Cruise Planners!
I would like to start by thanking Sherry McReynolds for booking and arranging this trip to Europe through Celebrity Cruise Lines which included all the excursion throughout the cruise along with the reliable pick up and transfers that took place at various ports along the way.
Our experience with Cruise Planners resulted in us feeling safe and secure the entire two weeks that we traveled. The turnkey package included Air Travel, Cruise reservations, excursions, train transportation and transfers in Barcelona Spain, France,Rome, Montenegro, Croatia, Venice, Milan, and Lake Como. Unbelievable detailed package!
Our package included the flight from Atlanta to Barcelona where we boarded the Celebrity Cruise Ship
"Constellation" for an 11 day cruise. Our port of calls were Sete France, Cannes, France, Livorno, Italy, Rome Italy, Kotor Montenegro, Dubrovnik, Croatia and ending in Venice, Italy. From Venice we boarded the high speed bullet train to Milan, Italy and then traveled to Lake Como at the foot of the Swiss Alps for two days then returned to Milan to catch our return flight back to Atlanta.
We cannot thank Sherry McReynolds and Cruise Planners enough for the detailed care and personal hands on during the early planning stages and throughout the entire trip!
This was a vacation of a life time and we appreciate the personal care that we experienced with Sherry and the entire Cruise Planner team.
I could go on and on about all the excursions that we booked. Just imagine taking a gondola ride through the narrow waterways of Venice, experiencing all there is to see in Rome, sitting and dining in Tuscany!
Believe me, the Mediterranean has to be one of the most beautiful areas of the world!!- Harold F.
We have worked with Linda Stern and Philip for many of our cruises. They are very thorough in planning for us.
They are pleasant and helpful. We recommend them highly.
Laraine and Wayne Sanger
Any one looking to travel please consider my friends at Cruise Planners, They do a lot more than just cruises, they can help with all inclusives and wedding planning, or vow renewal! I have used them for the last few years and have always been happy with the deals we get as well as the comps that are given to us!
Michelle and I just wanted to thank you for planning out our amazing cruise to the Bahamas. The Norwegian Gem was an excellent ship and there was not a single minute where we were not entertained. You were so helpful throughout the whole process. After we booked the vacation, there were many instances where we had to call to ask for more information and you got back to us immediately. You got us get a great deal and we also saw that you even gave our room 25$ which we were able to put towards one of our excursions. We are very grateful that you helped us book an unforgettable trip.
I found out about Linda and Philip travel agency through a friend who spoke highly of them. When I contacted them about my God sisters and zi going on a cruise, they both went out of their way to help us, they found reasonable costs and made us very comfortable. I have recommended them to others and as we started planning another girls vacation Linda was the first person we contacted.
For 2 years our family has been saving and planning for a 2 week European vacation which finally happened in June 2016. Amy Kriwitsky at Cruise Planners was essential in helping us plan the perfect trip. We stayed in Rome for 3 days before heading out on a cruise that took us to stops in Italy, France and Spain. The tours that Cruise Planners offered were much better and allowed us to see so much more of the local areas than what the ship tours offered. The tour guides were very knowledgeable, professional, timely, great personalities and spoke wonderful English. The tour cars were modern and comfortable. We certainly got our moneys worth and then some and were treated like VIPs! Thank you Amy and Cruise Planners for helping us realize a dream! - RICHARD N.
Good customer service is extremely important to me, and Robert does not fall short, even exceeding all of my expectations. Whether I had a question, was looking for recommendations, or needed him to make a change to our reservation, he has come through again and again. I didn't hesitate to book a second vacation through him before our first was even complete, and will definitely be using him for all future needs, as well as recommending him to others.- Shannon M.
This is over a year in the making, but I just bought the plane tickets for my first Royal Carribbean Cruise!!!!! Thanks to God for forcing me to save and save and save and work hard so that this could happen! An additional thank you to God for working through the amazing travel agent Linda Stern....WOOOOOOO! -- Glory
Linda is so wonderful! We have booked numerous cruises with her and she has always exceeded our expectations! Linda has helped us book rooms that met our needs and has been able to answer all of our questions. I couldn't imagine booking a cruise with anyone else! Thanks for the great service!- Rachelle W.

"A trip to Alaska had been on our "bucket" list so back in November we decided we would go this summer. I contacted
Phil and Linda Stern (Cruisewithafriend.com). Told them what I was looking for. They recommended a Cruise/Land Tour on Princess and helped with our planning (from booking flights, hotels to selecting excursions). Since Phil had been there previously we benefited from his experience and insight. With Linda's help we booked some great excursions which included biking and hiking in Scagway, motor boating in Ketchikan, awesome Glacier trekking at the Mendenhall Glacier in Juneau, Kayaking in Talkeetna and rafting the rapids of the Nenna River near Denali. It was an amazing trip. Both Phil and Linda were professional, responsive and wonderful in addressing all our questions and concerns. Everything was well organized and we were provided with a detailed itinerary for our entire trip. Needless to say we had a great trip and a great time."- James T.
Just came back Sunday 7/26 Booked our amazing Cruise through Linda And Phil ...the Breakaway was everything we hoped for ..Delicious foods and entertainment we had a wonderful vacation to Bermuda Thanks 😎- Valerie R.
I just booked with Linda for the first time this year. We just got back from our Norwegian Getaway cruise. It was awesome! The little (and BIG) perks from her are why she is a stand out professional!! I couldn't have received a better deal anywhere else (and believe me I really do my reaseaech). Can't wait to call her to book my next vacation, which will hopefully be soon!- Marsha R.
I am a little late to write a comment but my wife and I would like to thank Linda Stern for her great services. Very kind and patient to answer all questions and make things right.

Just have to finish buying my house and I'll be able to tell better what deal I'm working with - ALVARO L.

I highly recommend them for all your traveling needs....they go above and beyond!!! Just came off the Coral Princess, and could not be happier with all the special touches we received!!! - Irene R.
I found Linda of Cruise Planners on Facebook several years ago when researching cruises. It seamed that she always had the correct answer for anyone out there asking questions about cruising and had a long list of followers that gave her rave reviews. When the time came to book our cruise, I contacted Linda and it has been the best thing I could have done. She makes the booking process very easy and since we always have a fairly large group cruising she does a great job of coordinating everyone's bookings and makes sure our cabin assignments are correct and the group is dining together. When booking early saver with Carnival, she makes sure when the price drops. the appropriate forms are submitted and we receive the credits accordingly. I have now booked several cruises with Linda and she has never let us down. Our documents come well ahead of the cruise and are always packaged very nicely and usually include a nice Cruise Planner Tote bag for both my wife and me. We have liked her cruise bookings so much that when we went to the Disney Wine and Food Festival a couple of years ago we used Linda again and she provided the same great service (including the tote bag). Anyone booking cruises I always tell them to contact Linda. You can't go wrong.- David B.
Great cruise Planners TA. Alaways looking out for the best. Checks for price drops when ever requested and gives her sugestion.Finds the best deals and care for clients- Leland G.
The people at Cruise Planners are wonderful. Every detail goes just right. Way better then going to the internet, Did I mention how nice the people at Cruise Planners treat you? Wow!- Bill A.
Great travel agent. Got exactly what I wanted and for a great price.- Darrell J.
When Oasis promised the "WOW" in cruising, they did deliver in an amazing way. Not only did we enjoy the island hoping from Labadee to Cozumel, the service on board is authentic and made us feel right at home. We had the best waiters we've ever met anywhere we've vacationed. Food/drinks were of the most delicious standards. Entertainment was over the top. But nothing to compare to preparing for our cruise.Cruise Planners took the ball and set up the whole thing from helping us pick a perfect ship to setting up our reservations from dinner and shows. Not to mention timely info to bring us up to speed on how to be a "vacationing sailer". Thanks Linda. See you soon.- SHERMIE J.
Another excellent trip booked by Cruise Planners. Stress free planning and booking. I'm a satisfied repeat customer!- Shameka M.
I had an amazing time on my cruise. I contacted Linda and we were on our way! What made it real special is she got us an upgrade at no cost from a Porthole room to a Balcony Room!!! It was nice to sit on the balcony to watch the sunset and at night. I had such an amazing experience using Cruise Planners. It was less stressful than dealing with the cruise company directly. - Shameka M.
So kind and patient helping me with advice for my first cruise, even though I could not transfer my booking to her. But I WILL be using her next time!- LaToya S.
Thank you Linda for all your help! I will gladly refer any of my coworkers / friends who wish to travel to you. Your service has been exceptional!- Sharlene A.
