Testimonials
Eileen was knowledgeable, patient, efficient, offering great advice along the way! Great to work with, enhanced our trip! ????
Eileen and Cruise Planners, THANK YOU!! We 7 neophyte travelers could not have done it without you! Knowledgeable, patient, with great prices! Thanks to you, we had a marvelous 7 day Eire Trip!!- Cat O.
I’ve had the pleasure of working with Eileen to plan a couple vacations - the most recent being a breathtaking tour of southern Italy. Her understanding of my needs and pinpointing areas and sites I might want to see is invaluable. And if something goes wrong (think flights being canceled) she is in your corner helping navigate changes. I highly recommend Eileen and her company.- Joseph C.
Our trip to the Yucatán was amazing. Great resort, beautiful location, perfectly planned and expected.
Thanks Eileen! As always you are amazing.- Daniel K.
We booked our 10 day honeymoon trip to Costa Rica through Eileen. Right off from the beginning, Eileen has provided excellent service to us. She is really flexible with flight scheduling and prompt to respond to any of our questions. Our flight got canceled on our way back and Eileen put us at ease when we had to book a hotel outside the airport for a layover. We were able to get our hotel fees refunded through the trip insurance we had, highly recommend it.
Overall we had a positive experience with Eileen and would highly recommend her to anyone looking to book their next adventure.- Jesslin G.
Eileen’s responses to bookings and adjustments are very timely. Thanks for hearing our needs and planning accordingly. Greatly Appreciated!- Jennifer W.
This was our first cruise and Eileen did everything for us. She helped us with the rooms giving lots of choices for size and cost. We couldn’t have done it without her.
Thanks Eileen- Mary S.
What a great trip to Aruba!! Eileen took care of everything for us so all we had to do was enjoy!! Thanks again for a great trip!!- Peter S.
I cannot thank Eileen enough for planning such a wonderful vacation for us. She covered every detail we needed for our Alaskan cruise and land portion. In this COVID world, Eileen helped us through the whole process and made sure we had all the necessary information and helped us navigate some of the more difficult aspects of the COVID testing. She also helped with transfers and luggage storage. She made this experience truly a memorable trip for us.- Annmarie U.
Although I have used Eileen for small excursions in the past this was the first time I used her for an entire trip. We told her what we needed, wanted, and liked, and then she made it happen! We were able to tweak it to our liking. Our Italy was fluid and went almost perfectly. Just one hiccup as we headed from Venice to Rome on the train, but because Eileen made sure every detail was included we had our driver's number and we WhatsApp'd him and he was able to meet us at the new station location. I can't wait to call her about our next trip!
Barbara is the absolute best!! You couldn't find someone better to work with and to help with all of your needs. Just great.
Eileen chose the PERFECT place for our much needed getaway in the Florida Keys. So glad we took her advice - spot on!!
We just returned from a Key West/Miami mini trip . Eileen made it so easy for us to travel, prompt replies to our questions. An amazing trip , thanks Eileen !- Fiona B.
Eileen provided us with quick service as we planned a last minute trip to the Dominican Republic. With so many resorts in Punta Cana, it was difficult for us to know which one to choose. Eileen found four options in our price range and we were very happy with our choice. Eileen also suggested added travel insurance which was affordable and gave us piece of mind during this uncertain time of Covid-19. We had all of the information needed for our trip and Eileen kept us informed of the changing requirements for testing. It was nice to not have to worry about the details!- Victoria Z.
Robyn did a great job helping us plan a birthday cruise in Greece. We sailed on the Windstar Cruise Line. It was fantastic. Robyn took care of all the details, including reminding us days before of what we needed to bring for a trouble free vacation. Thank you Robyn for helping us with the special trip and in creating very special memories!- Adriane S.
Eileen – I wanted to write to express my gratitude for all the work you did to ensure that my family and I had an amazing experience on our very first cruise on our very first time in Alaska!
It was magical and we were thrilled with the entire experience. From the start, you were so patient with my many questions and my budget constraints and I knew we were in great hands. We loved the cruise line, our room could not have been better, and most of all, the work you did to get us the beverage packages for the family saved us a tremendous amount of money!
I am so grateful to you and can’t wait to start looking at the next adventure.
All the best,
Maura- Maura C.
We just came home from several days in Chicago we stayed at the Hyatt in the best location flew in and out of midway super easy no hassle. Eileen was awesome!!!!- Janet L.
Amazing company! Thanks to Carson Vacations, my family was able to experience things in ways otherwise impossible - and all at a cost that didn't break the bank! This is definitely the go to place for all your vacation needs. Thank you, Carson Vacations for helping make memories that will last a lifetime!- Seraphim W.
Hello Eileen….
I am writing to thank you so much for one of the most enjoyable and well put together, seamless vacations ever!!! You are top notch and I will be spreading the word to all about how good you are.
Everything you organized came together seamlessly and perfectly. Not one problem with anything from the vouchers, to the day trips to the hotels. I do want to tell you that both hotels (Venice and Rome) were absolutely top notch. The Venice hotel was clean, large rooms and centrally located to St. Marks square. I would highly recommend to future clients. The breakfasts were wonderful and the staff at the hotel top notch. As a matter of fact, I have to tell you how good they are there. My irresponsible 17 year old son left his iPad in the hotel when we left for Rome. Realizing this on the train, we called the hotel to see if they found it. They did and they stored it in their safe for us to pick up when we returned. That would NEVER have occurred in NY :)
The Rome hotel was absolutely absolutely wonderful. VERY modern, like staying in a Marriott. Clean, bright, modern. The hotel was great and not too far a walk to the coliseum and spanish steps.
The first class train ride was wonderful as well. Great service. VERY clean. Went so fast and quite enjoyable.
By far, the best day was the Pompeii/Amalfi coast. Our driver was AWESOME and although it was quite a far drive (going home straight from Positano was about 3 1/2 hours), it still was our best day.
Thank you again for all your help and for setting up an unforgettable vacation. I will be in touch for our trip next year which may be the UK.
I will also spread the word about how good you are!
Warmly,
Jackie- Jaclyn H.
From the excellent deal she got us on the package, to her attention to detail, and finally, to her unsurpassed customer service: once again, Eileen made our family trip to Disney World an unforgettable experience.- Carolyn F.
Hello Eileen,
Thank you so very much for all your help in planning our trip recently to France and London. Flights and all worked out so well and we had a marvelous time. Even lucky to have little rain and beautiful weather for our excursion’s and enjoy the cities of Paris and London. We plan to continue to utilize you in the future and are most appreciative of the great job you and your crew at CARSON VACATIONS do!
Sincerely,
Sheila & Bob Breunig- Sheila B.
Eileen,
I just wanted to follow up and let you know how much I appreciated your help in planning our trip to Paris. It went off perfectly! Our driver arrived and was waiting for us at Charles de Gaulle airport and had us into Paris in under an hour. we had the same driver at the end of our trip and he was just nice. Our Museum hop from the Louvre to Musee d'Orsay was spectacular. Our tour guide, Belen, was amazing, so knowledgeable, and really appealed to my daughter and her friend (both 18).
I do highly recommend the City Locker for storing bags it was so convenient.
Thank you so much. I will be in touch later this week in order to use you and your services again for our upcoming trip to Ireland.
Best,
Joyce Johnson- Joyce J.
Stephanie and I just wanted to thank you and your company for the most amazing trip we could have asked for! Everything was spot on- Hotel, transportation, accommodations, tickets paid in advance, etc. It was a carefree vacation that allowed us to focus on the fun aspects of the trip while your company took care of the rest. And may we say Alessandro was the best possible tour guide we could have had. A charming fellow, he made sure everyone was taken care of and happy. We will keep your info for future trips and will recommend you to anyone looking to travel and tour. thanks again!- Christopher C.
Eileen was amazing to work with! She provided so much information to plan a quick and fantastic trip to the Bahamas! She encouraged travel insurance which I was hesitant about at first, turns out we had to cancel our first trip and thankfully we didn’t lose any money! She was able to advise in areas of concern as well as recommend the perfect resort for our style of vacation. She got everything on my wish list in our budget! Thanks again:)- Monica M.
Eileen--Thank you for recommending and booking us at the Margaritaville Resort in Hollywood FL. The hotel and grounds were beautiful, it was in a great location, and the staff was helpful and friendly. There were 3 live music events every day, including nightly concerts in the band shell on the boardwalk. The music included rock and country, not just Jimmy Buffet tunes, but the entire resort exuded the Jimmy Buffet lifestyle; a fun, beachy, carefree vibe. Thanks so much--we had such a great time!- Debora H.
Both my husband and I had an amazing experience visiting Tuscany this summer all thanks to our travel agent Eileen Carson. Every detail was meticulously mapped out. Even when our plans changed suddenly, and we had to rework our trip at the last minute, Eileen was right on top it. She made sure all our needs were met, our itinerary solid, and all our documents in place. She made this such a magical trip as you can see from the picture in Murano at a glass factory. Without hesitation, we would use Eileen again for all our travel needs. - Annmarie U.
Eileen booked our magical 5 city, two-week trip to Italy this past July! The trip was amazing; five-star hotels, punctual, clean transportation, tours on target -- perfection. I thanked her personally at Pearl River Day and wanted to again thank her publicly! Our trip was spectacular thanks to her! All I needed to do was print out travel vouchers and hand them to the waiting representative - from boat travel, private transport, hotels and tour guides. Highly, Highly RECOMMEND!!- Lorraine O.
Eileen, thank you once again for another perfect vacation. Our week in Spain couldn't have been better. The perfect mix of history, cuisine and relaxation. Your attention to every detail from transportation, accommodations and sight seeing tours made our trip another great lifetime memory. Can't wait to plan our next adventure with you.
Jordan W.- Jordan W.
Hi Eileen
I wanted to thank you for all your help in planning our trip to Rome & Sorrento. We had a great time. The hotels were modern and clean and the staff was very helpful. The tours were very informative; the guides really knew their stuff! Our drivers were on-time and friendly.
We look forward to working with you in the future!
Thanks again,
Joanne - Joanne C.
Eileen
Just wanted to thank you for booking everything for us. It was one of the best experiences we've had in all our lives. Good company, better memories. Hopefully the kids remember it for the rest of their lives because I know we will. Clean place, great staff and even better food. Even with all the "bad" publicity they've been getting recently, it was the trip of a lifetime. Thanks again.
Kevin- Kevin G.
Eileen makes a travel reservation easy; she is an amazing service professional! Twelve family members from three states, one destination PUNTA CANA! She recommended an awesome resort, excellent excursions and travel transfers for ages 11-90. Can you imagine riding a horse along the beach?...she made it happen! Eileen was available for a multitude of questions from 7 crazy adults throughout the process. Our group could never have planned such an incredible family vacation without her expertise. She is a true gem.
Many thanks,
Janine- Janine O.
I can't thank Eileen enough for all she did in arranging our family vacation to Paris. She coordinated our flights, transportation, hotel, tours and even train tickets for a trip to the countryside. She provided lots of helpful advice, answered my crazy questions and in the midst of our trip even came to the rescue with a re-send of documents I needed to print. Life is busy and stressful enough without having to figure all of this out on your own. Let Eileen help you plan your vacation! - Tama S.
Spain/Italy Vacation
If anyone is looking to book a vacation I would highly recommend Eileen Carson and Carson Cruise Planners to help you book the trip. I just returned from a 2 week Spain/Italy vacation with my 2 boys and it was phenomenal. All the tours, transportation, transfers and hotels she chose for us were excellent! She helped us plan an excellent itinerary. She was incredibly great and easy to work with and always responded to all my questions immediately! All we had to do was enjoy!! Thanks again Eileen, I look forward to planning our next vacation with you !!- Mary M.
Eileen was a great asset in making my dream vacation come true. It is not easy to plan a trip to one of the most remote places on Earth, and yet she did it. She found a great company that fit the style of travel I was looking for, and was diligent in answering all the questions that I had. It is so important that your travel agent understands what you are looking for, and then does it! Eileen certainly is that agent. She went above and beyond and when I told my fellow travelers what she did, they were impressed -and a little jealous! Thanks, Eileen!- Barbara N.
Our vacation to Walt Disney World and Universal Orlando in November 2016 was absolutely magical! Eileen was able to upgrade our accommodations and also provided me with invaluable information to make for an amazing Disney experience. John made sure we were all set and that we had all of the necessary credentials needed for using the Disney Magic Express bus line. They had answers as well as suggestions for the numerous Disney/Universal related questions that my family and I had. We will surely use their services again in the future. Thank you Carson Vacations! =)
-Siobhan A.- Siobhan A.
we had a great time on our cruise on the NCL Breakaway!! Can't wait to do it again. Eileen Carson was the Best! She was always there to answer my questions, day or night!- Kim F.
Just returned from a 3 family Disney vacation flawlessly arranged by Carson Vacations--we had a wonderful time!
- Debora H.
Eileen,
I just wanted to let you know that Aruba was amazing!!! The Marriott was wonderful; the rooms were perfect. Staff was very accommodating. I absolutely loved it... can't wait to go back.
Thank you!!
-Kim- Kimberly D.
Hi Eileen,
First I want to say we had a wonderful time in Italy. Every deal was just right. We especially liked the private tour of Pompeii. Our guide Francisco was great. He made it so interesting and I would highly recommend him again. Valentino the driver was also very nice. Driving there is crazy and would not recommend driving there to anyone. We found a little town called Ravello above Amalfi on the coast. It was not as busy and less tourists. I would recommend that people go there and take day trips to Positano and Amalfi. There is a hotel there Hotel Palumbo. It is gorgeous and overlooks the coast also. It has a great bar and restaurant. Also in this town is a wine store called “Wine and Drugsâ€. The drugs are balsamic vinegar and Olive Oil. Anyway they do free wine tastings. We spent about three hours there. The woman is LeeAnn and she was a wonderful host and offered more wine and Whisky then we could drink. She also had appetizers and it was all FREE. We of course bought wine but there was no obligation to do so. I have also recommendations of restaurants that we ate and drank at if anyone you know is going and is a foodie and likes good wine. We have over 3000 pictures of this trip (If you want to see them we would love to share them with you) and we were so happy that we did not have to plan our day. Thanks again for making our trip so special and for the basket of fruit. What a great 50th birthday all because of you!!! Now for planning our next vacation!- Susan H.
Simply said, Eileen Carson, Owner of Cruise Planners, is not only so easy to work with but is the most professional, organized, diligent and responsivee service provider that I have encountered in my many years seeking services of those who are experts in their fields. I have no hesitation whatsoever in recommending Eileen and her company for your travel plans. Brian K- Brian K.
I can not recommend Eileen and Carson Vacations enough. We just had the most extraordinary 80th birthday week for my mom in Bermuda. Twelve of us with an age range of nine to eighty, a variety of interests, levels of health and financial circumstances. Eileen found the perfect lodging, perfect restaurants, perfect recommendations for activities and we just had a blast. She was patient, thoughtful and she took care of every detail. Wow. She made it easy. And wonderful. Can not wait to have her plan our next trip.
- Jennifer L.
Thank you Eileen for planning our trip to London & Edinburgh! It was an amazing trip and we loved that you planned every little detail and all we had to do was enjoy!! Will be calling you soon for our next trip!!!
The Horohoe Family- Christine H.
If anyone is looking to book a vacation I would highly advise you to call Eileen Treanor Carson. She is an amazing travel agent! We just returned from a three week trip in Europe. Eileen was a pleasure to work with, answered questions right away, dealt with all of our changes, and helped us plan the perfect itinerary. She is the best!!- Shane C.
Just back from Costa Rica and the entire trip was AWESOME!!! We had high expectations and they were exceeded for all of us! Both hotels were fabulous and we found Albee Adventures to be helpful, professional and very welcoming. The excursions were so much fun and the arrangements for them effortless. We could not have done such a memorable trip without you, Eileen so thank you from the 5 of us! When I make a dent in the laundry, I'll send you some pictures! :-)
Jenn- Jennifer C.
Hi Elieen! We had a great trip! Thank you so much for planning it for us. I just spent the entire time relaxing and enjoying the atmosphere. The kids had a blast. I hope we can swing another cruise in 2017 or 18!
Heidi- Heidi G.
Thank you to Eileen Treanor Carson for her phenomenal travel agent skills! The 2nd O'Grady girls' cruise was fabulous... As was the 1st!! And she's even helped up book the 3rd for 2017. I highly recommend her!!- Siobhan O.
We just came back from South Seas Island Resort in Captiva, FL. We did not want to leave! Second year my family vacation was planned with so much help from Eileen. She got back to me in an instant with every question I had asked, even while she was studying with her daughter for finals!! Her constant professionalism, and care about our trip, right up until we boarded the plane!- Kathleen P.
Hi Eileen,
I just want to say that you are the best travel agent I have ever dealt with. Your patience and your professionalism made it a joy. I am truly grateful for the whole experience - from start to finish. I will be recommending you should anyone need your services. Thank you so much! By the way, I just want to add that I was pleasantly surprised with the cruise. I did not know what to expect - being my first time I was anxious. I did not get seasick at all!! I had such a great time. I will be doing it again. Don't be surprised if I reach out to you sooner than later!!
Sandra Maldonado- Sandra M.
In March 2016 we took the most fantastic cruise! We were guided by Eileen as to the best Ship (Norwegian Getaway), meals & day trips. Eileen made sure we had all the paper work that was required for the cruise. My Husband & I would highly recommend Eileen to organize your trip of a lifetime!
Brigid & John Nicholson.
- Bridget N.
My cruise to Bermuda in May 2016 was fabulous! Eileen was able to upgrade my room and provide me with necessary information to make the trip more enjoyable. I will use her services again the next time I travel.
Thank you Eileen!
- Lora K.
I recently contacted Eileen about planning a family vacation to Punta Cana. My emails were promptly responded to and any questions/concerns that I had were answered. I explained to her what we were looking for in a resort as we were travelling with young children and we couldn't be happier with our final choice. Our itineraries and travel documents were mailed in a timely manner and it was a huge help to have our transportation to and from the airport arranged for in advance as well!!
We will definitely be using Eileen again to plan our next vacation!- Kelley S.
Eileen is customer service at its finest! She is so professional, patient and prompt. Eileen knows the needs of her clients and delivers! I highly recommend her for your family's travel planning. I have booked 4-5 vacations with Eileen and I would never use anyone else!- Erin O.
We couldn't be happier with Eileen's exemplary service in planning and booking our vacation. Her attention to detail, amazingly fast response time, and genuine caring about our every desire from takeoff to return has made all of our vacations truly special. We have used Eileen exclusively for the last few years and couldn't recommend her more highly. Eileen understands that hassle free planning and anticipation of the trip is as important as the vacation itself. Thanks Eileen. Looking forward to many more years of adventures with your steady hand at the helm.
Jordan and Kathy- Jordan W.
Eileen was highly recommended by a friend, and now I can see why. We traveled to Disney World for our son’s first trip there, and Eileen ensured it was a wonderful, memorable family vacation. Her attention to detail and exemplary customer service—always an immediate response, always warm—made the planning process and travel experience worry-free. As well, Eileen’s expertise regarding Disney, reflected in the helpful tips she provided, gave us insight we otherwise would not have had. It is without a doubt that we will use Eileen’s services to plan any future trips.
Carolyn Freedman- Carolyn F.
When we decided to go on a cruise, my first thought was to contact Eileen Carson. My brother had gone on a few cruises, all arranged by Eileen and he highly recommended her as a travel agent. I thought to myself, surely I can handle booking a cruise online without the use of a travel agent (how hard could it be?), so I began scouring the internet, looking at different cruise lines, reading about so many different options, wasting HOURS scanning thousands of reviews for each ship and itinerary. My head was spinning and I was getting myself completely stressed out, about planning a vacation!
I contacted Eileen and within minutes, she was able to narrow down what cruise lines would best suit my family's needs and budget. In a very short time, we had selected a cruise that was not only within our means, but had everything we could ever ask for in a vacation. Again I thought to myself, why do I need a travel agent if I can just book this vacation myself? I'll tell you why you need a travel agent...because of the thousands of little questions that I had about cruising in general, about the ship we selected, what to pack, what to wear, AND because sometimes life gets in the way, and unexpected things happen, even on vacation. Eileen was able to answer ALL of my questions within minutes of my asking her!! I felt confident that if I encountered a travel related problem while on vacation, I knew I could contact Eileen and she would do her best to help me in a heartbeat!
If you're even thinking about planning a vacation, then you need one! Contact Eileen and she will take the stress out of vacation planning, leaving you with time for nothing but rest and relaxation!
- Anne Schlinck, Orangeburg, NY- Anne S.
I would definitely recommend using Eileen for a trip. We wanted to go to Mexico, but didn't know which resort would be best for our family. Eileen knew and recommended a fabulous resort and side trips if you are interested. It was great and we look forward to some more recommendations by Eileen.
Thanks,
Suzanne Sexton- Suzanne S.
Made it to Paris!
We just wanted to say thank you for helping plan this trip, we had a great time in London and Paris is amazing!
We weres SO happy with the hotels. Paris hotel upgrades us to 9th floor with free beverages and view of the Eiffel Tower!!!! Great value!
Can't wait to plan the next trip..:perhaps Spain ;-)
- Kristen C.
Eileen -- it was awesome!! Everything was great! No problems whatsoever! And the transportation that you got for us to/from Universal was wonderful. Thank you so much! One of these days I'll get some pics to you. I've been meaning to email for days. We got home last Wednesday night and back to work/school Thursday and then we had our family up over the weekend to continue the celebrations. Thanks again for all the planning. Perfect trip!- Mary S.
Eileen organized a trip for my teenage son and me to Italy. Every single detail from transportation, hotels and tours went exactly as planned and most importantly met or exceeded our expectations. The packet of information she provided made it very easy to follow along each destination (Venice, Sienna, Rome, Sorrento). This made planning on my end minimal and the entire experience more enjoyable!- Frank C.
Eileen was wonderful and so responsive to all my questions. I would not think twice about asking her again to be my travel agent. I first contacted her about a cruise and she gave me every possible scenario and then I pulled a 360 on her and changed our destination. Eileen, easily switched gears and my family and I went to Hawks Cay in the Keys! She booked everything for us, there was nothing for us to worry about, except what we would pack J Hawks Cay was the best vacation my family and I have been on, and hope to go back!- Kathleen P.
Eileen Carson planned our vacation last summer. I have to say it was the best thing I ever did. Eileen is fantastic. We wanted to go on a cruise and we were not sure which one to go on. Eileen gave great recommendations and prices for many different ships. Eileen was knowledgeable about all the cruise lines and gave advice based on her personal experience. This was a great help.
We decided on the Breakaway ship. We stayed in the Haven in a two bedroom family suite. It was the easiest vacation ever. I made one call to Eileen and the whole thing was booked. The even better part of working with Eileen is she is always looking for deals. After we booked vacation with Eileen, I got a call about a month late, telling me that my cruise price was going to be reduced by over $1,000. I was thrilled. She also got a credit for my husband and me on a future cruise. That was the best surprise ever.
Having a professional, caring travel agent is important. If anything goes wrong, you can just call them. All questions are answered with promptness and true knowledge. I can not wait to book my next vacation with Eileen.
Thanks Eileen!
Susan Hahnenfeld- Susan H.
I generally book all of our vacation plans, itineraries and excursions, however when we began discussing taking a Mediterranean cruise last year, I knew that I was out of my league. We had never vacationed in Europe nor been on a cruise. Enter Eileen Carson. Within a day or so, she had several cruise options, recommendations and "must see" places. We had so many questions and Eileen responded to every one, researching as necessary to do so.
Once we decided on a cruise, Eileen took care of everything - from securing the best airfares, pre-cruise accommodations in the center of Rome, suggested excursions and itineraries and all transfers. Her assistance was indispensable and put us at ease, knowing all arrangements were in place and exactly where to meet our contacts. Eileen's knowledge about the processes, locations and tips was not only crucial to proper planning, it was extremely time saving as this responsibility would have been mine to research otherwise.
All members or our group were extremely satisfied with Eileen's recommendations and arrangements. I will definitely contact Eileen for future cruises and vacations - she knows her stuff and saves us a bunch of planning and research time, resting easily that our vacation plans are in good, capable hands. Thanks Eileen! - James M.
Eileen was the best. While my wife and I have cruised in the past, our kids never have. Eileen guided us in picking the right ship and itinerary for the whole family. Eileen searched until she found just the right cabins that were both near each other and made the most sense in terms of cost. The whole process was absolutely stress free.
My wife and I had a great time on the Liberty of the Seas and our kids were alway busy going somewhere or doing something onboard so I'd say they enjoyed it too.
I know I will be calling Eileen to book our next cruise. Hopefully it is sooner rather than later!
Jim Maher- James M.
We went to Eileen early in 2015 after she helped us with our wonderful Spring Break trip to AZ. We were looking for a fun first cruise experience for our family that would provide some relaxation for us and fun for our 2 sons: ages 13 and 15. Once we reached out to Eileen, within no time she had 2 great options for us. As busy as I know she is, Eileen gets back to you so fast with information and ideas and recommendations, which is so helpful!
We thought about the two choices: Bahamas or Bermuda…can’t go wrong with either really but the Norwegian Breakaway cruise to Bermuda has so much going on for the kids: Water slides, games, shows, Teen Lounge and fun and relaxing time for the parents. Eileen provided the cabin pricing options and info on promotions going on: dining upgrades or drink upgrades which we might not have figured out on our own. We went with the dining upgrades and were so happy with that option-eating dinner at all the specialty restaurants with no upcharge. Eileen also researched the excursion info: gave us loads of ideas of things to do: Boat rides (we did the Speed Boat ride around island-beautiful) snorkeling and the beaches, Segway tour (which we did-was a blast-boys loved it!!) you could swim with dolphins, lots of things to do. Eileen researched them all and had client experiences to help us make our decisions, we were very pleased with them all. I’d highly recommend this cruise and Eileen will do a great job helping you plan it!
- Margaret R.
Hi Eileen, We just wanted to thank you for your help and assistance with our trip to Tuscany. The trip was wonderful. We had no issues with the airline flights. Traveling thru the countryside by rail was a great experience. Milan is very cosmopolitan yet small enough for us to explore. Florence likewise is a great walking city. The side trips/tours you suggested we take at both locations worked out fine. It gave us an opportunity to see and hear from tour guides about the unique aspects of the places we visited. The weather and food were just perfect. Not being seasoned travelers, we were concerned, but your guidance and recommendations worked very well for us! Thanks a million!- Peter T.
Eileen, thank you so much for all your help planning our 2015 family trip of a lifetime to Italy. It was an amazing experience for all of us, one day was better than the next. Our Trafalgar tour guide was so informative, caring and knowledgeable of the country. You truly did an amazing job catering to our needs, between the dates, and locations we wanted to fit in. Thanks for all you do for our family with planning our vacations!- Ellen C.
Eileen, thanks so much for all your help on this trip. My family and I enjoyed the Atlantis Paradise Island in the Bahamas, including the excursions immensely!!. This was the best Sweet Sixteen trip for our daughter. She loved every minute of it. We created great memories and had a great time. We even saw a nursing shark while snorkeling, that was fantastic!! Again, thank you for all your help.
Cruz Family. Summer 2015- Zerlina M.
Eileen! Thank you so so so much for all your help with planning our trip to Ireland! As you can tell my mom, Denise and I had an awesome time! You rock!!!! We'll definitely contact you again for future vacations and talk you up as the best travel agent around!!!!- Denise R.
HI all, just wanted to give a great big shout-out to Eileen Carson. My family and I booked a cruise with Eileen and everything was wonderful. I was traveling with my parents and 3 children, so I had many requests. Eileen was more than accommodating, and anytime I had questions, day or night, Eileen was more than happy to help me. In addition , Eileen was able to get us a great deal on the Norweigan Breakaway to Bermuda! I can't say enough about how enjoyable it was to work with Eileen. Please consider using Eileen Carson for your next trip.- Christine K.
Good morning. I can’t believe we returned from France 3 weeks ago. Before more time slipped away, I wanted to thank you for organizing this fabulous and memorable trip. Everything was first class and ran smoothly. My kids will never forget it! The hotel in Paris was perfect and was in a fantastic location! The “Tour de France†last 10 laps came right by us and because the weather was rainy, it kept the crowds away. My kids took video. Everything was within walking distance. The hotel in Normandy was VERY chic, beautiful and probably a little too expensive but what the hell, lol! I felt like I was in the Hamptons, ie where the rich and famous stay. I do have to say, the Parisians were very nice, but the northerners were less American friendly and English speaking. Every tour was perfect except a few comments: We loved the river cruise and dinner in the Eiffel Tower but the timing did not allow us to go up to the top without having to find our own way home and it was late, but we didn’t really care too much. Also, we probably could have skipped the Reims Champagne tour. It was long and a little commercial, but we still had fun and had a great lunch in Reims. Our favorite tours were Versailles and Normandy….Loved….loved both! We did go to Sacred Heart area but it was in the evening and really didn’t have time to have a portrait painted…oh well, lol. We did almost everything you suggested. We were soooo exhausted by our last day we decided not to make the trip to St. Malo or St. Mt. Michelle. We will have to see them another time I guess.
We decided our next family trip will be a beach bum vacation, lol! Which bring me to my next question: We want to go to an all-inclusive resort somewhere. I would love to start looking into it. Any ideas?
Thanks again!- Debra B.
Eileen, Thank you so much for our wonderful vacation in Jamaica! Your expertise and personal touches made me feel comfortable and well taken care of from the search, through the booking and the follow up email when we returned. You are a gem!!- Debra T.
OMG!!!! This vacation was so great because of you! All the hotels were in great locations, the staff couldn't have been nicer and the last stop in Almalfi was so beautiful and perfect I almost cried! I've given your number to all my friend and clients. Maybe I can post some pictures on Dave's Facebook. Thanks again for our wonderful trip the only thing I would do differently is come home in business class!!" - Marybeth- Marybeth D.
Hi Eileen,
Our Switzerland and Italy vacation was a wonderful experience from the beginning to the end thanks to you. You did an awesome job at catering to our needs. All of our expectations were met, and then greatly exceeded! We feel so fortunate to have used you and have already recommended you to friends looking for an experience of a lifetime.
Your suggestions for tours were great and it was exactly what we wanted to see without waiting on lines. Every hotel was magnificent and all the transfers from train stations to hotels and back to train stations worked like clockwork just as you said they would.
Next stop .... thinking a cruise out of New York.

Eileen is simply wonderful! I have booked several trips with her and have never had a problem. In fact, she has been beyond helpful and patient with me and my hundreds of questions about everything. Her knowledge of travel is invaluable and you can be guaranteed she will go above and beyond for you. It's the small details that make booking with a travel agent worthwhile and you can be sure Eileen will make it her business to find the best deals around. 😀- Elaine C.
Hi Eileen,
We are getting ready to leave the resort . It was a perfect fit for us! We cannot thank you enough! Staff was amazing and we met some very nice people. We are planning to return here next May, cannot wait!
Thank you again,

Eileen did a great job setting up a trip for a group of 20! She had so many great resort suggestions and we all had a great time. I will definitely book with Eileen again!- Alicia M.
Thanks so much Eileen! The honeymoon was great. The resorts were awesome and all of the car rentals and flights were seamless. Thank you so much for booking all that for us.

Eileen,
I just want to thank you for all your help in planning our Spring Break vacation to Arizona- Phoenix and Sedona. From the initial stages of the planning, when we were just looking for basic pricing info, etc. you were so quick to respond with many great options, and then when we changed our minds regarding our destination, you were so very helpful helping us with our new plans. The hotels you sent us to were beautiful properties, the Pink Jeep tours excellent, so fun and well run! Everything went without a hitch and we had a wonderful time.
We look forward to our next vacation and would definitely recommend you to our friends and family
Thanks again !

Eileen is simply the best, I’m just sorry I didn’t know about her sooner. With short notice she was able to book a wonderful family vacation to Punta Cana in DR over Easter break. It was a wonderful experience and my wife & kids loved the resort. She is now planning a two week trip for my wife & daughter this summer to Italy. My wife was completely stressed out trying to map out all the areas & cities they wanted to visit and I kept telling her to just call Eileen. After finely taking my advice she called and was amazed just how fast Eileen was able to put the whole trip together for her. It was exactly what my wife was looking all laid out perfectly. I’ll never waste my time again trying to find the best deals and airfare etc…
Thanks again,
David Dermody- David D.
Hi Eileen,
Thanks for your tireless efforts toward finding the perfect vacation spot for Colleen and I. You truly made the experience easy from your "I will find you something" attitude to your amazing responsiveness. Overall, I found the hardest part just getting around to seeding you the first e-mail. You took it from there and made the process effortless. I've already recommended you to two friends who have booked their vacations through you. Until next time, Thanks!
- Steven W.
I can't speak highly enough about Eileen. She is the best!! All of my questions were answered quickly and I felt 100% comfortable booking our recent trip to the Dominican Republic. We were so satisfied that we have already booked a European Cruise for next summer!!- Shane C.
Eileen is WONDERFUL! Hubby and I have never been on a cruise before, so I was full of questions, doubts, and anxieties! Eileen took care of all my woes! The emails and texts were prompt and chock full of information. I felt totally comfortable with her decisions, and our Royal Caribbean cruise to Bermuda couldn't have been better! Already thinking of where Eileen should send us next!- Eileen D.
Eileen helped us find the “just right†all-inclusive in Tulum – not too big, not too small, not too crazy, not too cut off. We just wanted an easy week off and Eileen helped us make it happen from the first minute on!- Susan W.
Hello Eileen,
I want to express my most sincere thanks for your expert handling of my vacation planning!
The flight and transfers went flawlessly and your recommendation and booking of the resort transformed my amateurish attempt into a truly spectacular vacation.
I look forward to your handling my next vacation adventure this Fall!
Where do you recommend? :)

Eileen was a gem in helping me plan our family's Disney vacation! She was super knowledgable and provided inside insight I wouldn't have had if planning on my own or directly through Disney. This included researching resort construction and providing unbiased reviews on dining, age appropriate ride recos and FastPass selection info plus other recommendations. She took what seemed like a daunting task and guided me through with ease. She sent me reminders along the way and made sure all details were taken care of... Even following up during our trip and after to ensure everything went smooth. As an added bonus to her professionalism.... Eileen is just really nice and fun to work with!- Cheryl R.
My family recently went on a trip to Punta Cana, DR. Eileen suggested the Hard Rock Resort & Casino after I described what my family would be interested in. I was very nervous about planning a trip out of the country & trusted Eileen's recommendations. Eileen's choice was perfect! Traveling went off without a hitch from our flight, to the transfers to/from the hotel that Eileen had arranged. It was the smoothest traveling experience that I'd encountered especially since Eileen gave me tips about what to expect and how to prepare. The resort was better than described and perfect for my husband & I as well as our 2 children ages 18 & 22. The service was outstanding and the grounds were breathtaking. The trip was a success from start to finish. I cannot wait for Eileen to help me plan another trip! Sincerely, One Satisfied Customer - Camille O'Connor
Thank you Eileen for planning an incredible trip for our family!! We had the best time ever!! We absolutely loved the hotel you recommended for us!! Thank you for all the advice and for answering my many questions!! Looking forward to using Carson Vacations, LLC again...it was a pleasure to work with you!!- Kelly K.
So its time we serve up some mad props to Eileen Treanor Carson and her company for setting up our trip. Eileen is a terrific planner and always had quick answers to all of my questions along the way. Thank you , Eileen!- Robert A.
Eileen--Just got back from our wonderful Norwegian Cruise to Italy and the Greek Isles. Your assistance made our trip worry-free and everything was perfect! Thank you so much- Debora H.
Eileen. Thank you again for putting together another terrific vacation for my family. Despite giving you little notice of our last minute Christmas week vacation plan, the flights and hotel were perfect. We can't wait for the next trip you have planned for us. JW
I wanted a quick getaway for my busy family, that's all I told Eileen. She booked us on a cruise to the Bahamas the day after Thanksgiving and it was just what we all needed. Eileen handled everything and her customer service was outstanding. I will definitely be booking again with Eileen, it was so easy..- Elizabeth O.
I wanted a quick getaway for me and may family, but didn't know where to go. Eileen stepped in and planned a wonderful cruise to the Bahamas the day after Thanksgiving. It was perfect, she took over and made all the plans, walked me through everything. We had a great time, her customers service was outstanding! - Elizabeth O.
Eileen-
Just can not thank you enough for planing the perfect getaway-and on such short notice! I had checked all the "usual" travel websites-most of them with "come on" pricing. Frustration took over, so happy I contacted you! Great flights and accommodations and under my budget! The personal service you gave was over and above-loved the welcome home note! - Susan Careatti
Eileen did a wonderful job planning our family Disney trip this summer. She was very knowledgeable about Disney. She did all the research on flights for us and the Disney vacation package. It really made the whole experience stress free and saved me a lot of time. Thanks Eileen! - Stefanie Kotch
A BIG thank you to Eileen for planning our dream vacation to Alaska this summer.We did a land /cruise totalling 10 days of awe inspiring scenery to fun filled excursions. The task of booking this myself was so daunting I was relieved to leave it to an expert and what a tremendous job she did .Can't wait to plan the next trip with you !!! Thanks so much.... - Fiona Burke
"Thanks Eileen. We are in airport. Flight is delayed but no big deal. What a great trip! Loved the resort. It is certainly pricey, but service was fantastic. Excursions were great. Interestingly, I think I preferred the room we had vs the canopy suites. They may be larger and some have their own Infinity pools, but they are in the hills ( great views) but you must ride a golf cart down for everything. We had a partial view of ocean, could hear it every night and were a stones throw from beach, pool and restaurants. Room was beautiful with a private screened porch. Staff brought smoothies and water to beach and pool all afternoon. Non motorized water sports were free and spa and golf course were great. We didn't golf this time but rented a golf cart and drove the course as it cuts through jungle and you can see wildlife including monkeys. Hotel gives that tour with guide but we missed that time so we did it on our own. We went snorkeling and zip lining. Lots of photos on Facebook. Restaurants are NY prices but great gourmet meals. We usually ate light breakfast at coffee bar (did buffet once) had a poolside snack in afternoon and 7p dinner. There really is no nightlife. We were in bed by 10 which was fine by us. Thanks again. We are already talking about next trip either in December or spring break if we can get kids scheduled aligned with sports, etc. and will definitely call you to arrange." - JW, Connecticut
Dear Eileen,
You are by far the most attentive Travel Agent I have
ever worked with! Thank you for that.

Dear Eileen,
Thank you so much for doing such a great job in planning our recent cruise to Bermuda! Everything was perfect from the time we stepped onto the ship until the second we stepped off! We couldn't have had such a great trip without all your professional advice and planning! I'm so glad we used a cruise expert to let us know about all our options onboard, as well as telling us about some great shore excursions! We went on some nice shore excursions thanks to your input. We went on a nice glass-bottom boat ride at night (it was awesome), and took a trip to Horseshoe Bay, which was so beautiful! I won't cruise without your help, so thank you again!
Sincerely,
Brenda Keller
My husband Jon and I were planning a weeklong trip to Florida. I called Eileen to assist us since we would be staying at a hotel. Eileen's expertise enabled us to have a wonderful vacation visiting family and friends. Her knowledge and quick response was outstanding and she proved to be No.1 in our book!!!!- Paula S.
