Thanks Sue for our amazing experience. Your attention to every detail was greatly appreciated. Thank you. Mr & Mrs Flakes.- Angelyn F.
John is absolutely amazing! He is ALWAYS available when I need him and he always gets me the appropriate answer to my questions. I feel confident traveling, knowing that he has taken care of every single thing for me and my family. We have a three hour time difference and I can call and text him anytime of the day or night. He is so patient and kind and I’m so thankful for him.- Nora A.
My Travel Agent John is excellent. He is available at all hours of the day and night anytime I have a question. He goes out of his way to make sure he gets the best answer and always helps me feel comfortable about traveling.- Nora A.
John was wonderfully attentive and helpful with setting up our mother/daughter trip. All the details made it very memorable and comfortable for both of us.- Diane B.
We worked with an independent travel agent to arrange our vacation, and frankly it was a little confusing as to what role each company played. I am "guessing" that Cruise Planners was the company with which out hotels were all booked, versus our excursions and private transfer services. The hotels selected for our trip were good, if not amazing. The location was excellent for all 5 hotels.- John H.
the group cruise was amazing!- Kimberly M.
Sue Pierce is beyond exceptional. Takes care of every detail and always available for my constant questions. We had a wonderful time, as always.

Five stars to our cabin guy Putu! Always made sure our accommodation's were met with cabin keeping and fresh towels daily.
My first travels aboard a cruise liner and y'all smashed it out of the ballpark. Will definitely sail the seas again!!
Thank you Carnival Firenze!! We loved our sails!!
--Gia- Giovanna D.
Usually I book my own cruises, however John was referred to me and I said "why not, give him a shot". John was so patient and helpful and saved us money. I'll always use John moving forward and recommend him to others!- Elizabeth R.
Just want to take a moment to thank you for all your help in planning our trip. Since I lost my husband, I’ve been in a major slump/depression. However, all of a sudden I’m so much looking forward to our cruise. So many details to take care of with two separate travelers. You were always there to answer our endless questions. My sister and I both feel so comfortable knowing you are always a call away.
Hopefully we will have the energy to travel as much as possible moving forward. Anyway, that’s our plan and we look forward to our next adventure. We plan on talking about “what’s next” while we are lounging around the pool with a pina colada!
Sue Pierce was great to work with. Followed through on lots of details. Really liked the link she sent with excursion outside of cruise offerings- Adrienne S.
Sue always makes sure our vacations are well planned and organized, leaving us with a worry free adventure. We rely on her for every part of our travels.- John G.
I loved our recent family vacation with MSC Cruise. All the staff took care of my family and I needs. And everyone was so kind. Thanks to our planner John Rodriguez for making this trip so special. He answered any questions we had and made our dreams come true, hehe. Thank you, everything was amazing!- Emily C.

We had a fun filled time and the cruise was just wonderful! Thank you for all your help organizing and setting it up for us, we for sure will keep you in mind for our next vacation adventure, which my parents now have asked to have it pretty soon ???? we are back home safe and sound, but one thing for sure: next time even the flights we will ask for your help. Airlines have become unfortunately quite unreliable and it’s tough to think of all options during high stress moments or even trying to coordinate all items.
Thank you again, it was wonderful to know we could rely on your help guiding us.
Regards,
Natalia
Sue Pierce is the best. She really cares about her clients. She is AMAZING!
We booked our flights and transfer to the ship on our own. The night before we were to board the ship(in Venice) we found out the ship had changed ports and it was now more of a challenge to get there. We had a moment of panic, called Sue and let her know what was happening. She jumped into action and found a perfect solution for us for the next morning. The transfer went perfectly and we were so relieved. I will hand that over to her to look after on the next cruise for sure! Sue is very responsive and very knowledgeable. I highly recommend!
John did a fantastic job for us with our recent cruise. So happy to have him as our travel agent- Donna L.

In the Manyara National Park was all about elephants. We saw several, some very close, along with monkeys, baboons, impalas, giraffes, and warthogs. Today in the crater we saw a lot of lions, again some extremely close, along with an astounding assortment and number of wildebeasts, African buffalo, gazelles, zebras, ostriches, warthogs, hippos, more elephants, and even a black rhino and a couple of hyenas. We really couldn't have hoped for more.
Joseph had told us we are almost guaranteed to see leopards on the Serengeti, so we will have already completed the Big Five, plus so, so much more.
Thank you again to you and your team for helping make this longtime dream of ours a wonderful reality.
Our Trip to Africa was amazing! The hotels and properties were first class, the tour director was a gem, the other guests were fun and interesting, and the African countryside, wildlife and people were amazing. thank you for planning this for us.
Sue Pierce Did a wonderful job with our itinerary to Italy, it was amazing! She arranged everything perfectly thank you Sue

It was a great experience and would recommend to my friends and family. I can’t have this great cruise without John’s help. From beginning to end.- Rolinda Lovelyn N.
Sue supported us throughout the entire vacation. It was effortless like having some one plan your wedding. Would not do it any other way!! I don't have my photos attached to this computer or I would happily share them with you.- Bonnie M.
- Dawn S.
Thank you Sue Pierce with Cruise Planners/Vacation Adventures Unlimited for
organizing a FANTASTIC trip for us in Bozeman and Jackson Hole.
Our hotels, their locations and our guided tours were exactly what we wanted for our adventure.
A big “plus” was the laundry facilities at the hotels too.
We are so grateful to have you as our travel agent expert; you understand our wishes and take great care of us!
You are the best!
Thank you sooo much!- Dawn S.
I wanted to take my parents on a cruise, and John Rodriguez helped me set it all up. With his guidance, I picked the right cruise line and itinerary so that we completely enjoyed the experience. John is extremely knowledgeable and easy to work with. I will certainly partner with him again for future cruises.- Blaine H.
John was beyond amazing every step of the way! He helped ensure every question was answered day or night and every detail was perfect. If want someone who is genuine and treats his clients more like family with upmost respect and professionalism than look no further for smooth sailing with John!- Antionette P.
John Rodrigues of Cruise Planners is the best travel agent I have ever used. He booked our Hawaiian cruise and went above & beyond in every way. He is prompt, efficient and a pleasure to deal with. Thankful we found our new travel agent and will definitely use him for our travel needs.- Donna L.
Sue is the best most thorough agent I have ever worked with. Her knowledge of travel destinations is one of a kind. Trust me on this one as she has a special gift and you will feel it the minute you hear her voice.
John, I can't thank you enough for all your time and hard work in resolving my issue with NCL. I have used travel agents for over 30 years and by far you are the very BEST!!!
Your excellent customer service does not go unnoticed!
I look forward to years of vacation planning with you!- Rose L.
Sue booked a hotel for us in the Caymans and even just doing a small job like that, went above and beyond. She gave us a lovely packet that included an outlet converter, a travel checklist, and information on things that I haven't even considered such as a tipping guide in other countries. She is also just a lovely person. I highly recommend Sue for any travel needs - she makes everything SO much easier.

John is fantastic! Amazing attention to details and takes great care of our family every time!
John was absolutely amazing to work with. He listens to his clients and plans the best vacation accordingly. It would be my definitive pleasure to plan another vacation with him in the future.- Teresa K.
John Rodriguez was great in helping us plan our cruise. He always was ready to answer my questions and made this experience very easy. Would advise anyone to let him help you make your trip hassel free.- Julia A.
John helped me research and plan a trip to Belize in October and we literally booked it late one evening and during the night I suddenly realized that I had messed up my dates! I contacted him in the morning and he was a trooper and was able to not only change the dates for the hotel and flights, he also saved me money! Win win. My husband and I had an amazing time in Belize and our hotel was incredible, with one of the best rooms we have ever stayed in! I usually plan and book my own trips but on this occasion I was so busy planning my daughter's wedding that I decided to use a TA and I think its how I plan to do things from now on! Thank you John for your help with planning an incredible, much needed vacation!- Sue H.
Sue Pierce took wonderful care of us in planning our extended trip to Italy. From the airline tickets, to the comfortable, conveniently located accommodations, to the knowledgeable and interesting tour guides who delivered our private tours, Sue made what seemed overwhelming to plan look easy.
Thanks, Audrey
John is dedicated to his clients! Every trip John helps plan with our family is top notch.
From the early stages to the post trip analysis, he is there every step of the way.
Knowledgeable, detail oriented and fun!- Joni B.
I worked with John to plan a family trip to Costa Rica. He was enthusiastic, helpful, and really cares about doing whatever it takes to make the trip a success. Which it was. Thx John!- Dave F.
To say John is amazing is an understatement!! This was my first cruise, my first time out of the country, my first time really traveling with just my daughter and I, and I had so many questions and ideas. I wanted this for my daughter's 13th birthday. John was more help then I could hope for. He answered every question with patience, answered the phone everytime or sent an immediate text saying he'd call right back, helped me stay in my budget and get the the best deal. And all the while making me feel like I was his only client!! I could go on and on and on about how great John was and the company he works with. I will definitely be contacting him again soon to plan another cruise! Thank you from the bottom of my heart John, my daughter and I had the most amazing, fun and just what we needed time together!- Amber B.
We had a great time on our Mediterranean cruise! John from Cruise Planners took care of all the details for us! He was a pleasure to work with. Highly recommend using John for your next vacation!!- Laura M.
My cruise was wonderful and Sue Pierce helped immensely to make it go smoothly!- Suzanne S.
Great working with John! Lots of patience for those of working with groups. HA!!- Teresa K.
I used to do the planning of my vacation but when my work load became overwhelming I decided to use travel agent. John was so helpful and always give a great insight and will do his utmost best to find me great deals for my three cruise vacations. I recommend him to my family and friends.
Thank you so much John for all the help.- Lovelyn N.
John is absolutely amazing from the beginning to the end. He takes time to answer all questions and will keep going until he gets you an answer. John is very knowledgeable, kind, and hard working. So thankful we found him and look forward to booking more cruises in the future!- Nora A.
My TA, John Rodriguez, is the best! He saved me so much money and added perks too. My pricing was: $7,947.54 and then he watched for price drops and now its: $6,188.35. Savings: $1,759.19 (plus added promo 2x specialty dining = 4 total). Why won't many TA's do this? Because they would lose commission. John wants to ensure families are happy and sustain the long-term referral relationship. He will always have my business!- Evelyn S.
Sue provided excellent service and answered all of our questions.
I just wanted to thank you again for arranging our wonderful vacation.
We loved all our tour guides and the way you set it up was so convenient and hassle free. Our first guide that did the walking tour in Paris was my favorite.
If we had to figure out all the tours/tickets ourselves it would have been so stressful.
Sue I want to thank you for planning such a wonderful trip to Europe for me and my family. We had an amazing time. Europe is beautiful. I especially loved Venice.
I am always blown away with how Sue Pierce has everything coordinated from the beginning of the trip to the end!!???? I understand she is a travel agent and that's what she does, but people listen...it feels like Sue is with you every step of the way on your trip. She is accessible and knowledgeable, and gives awesome recommendations for excursions/activities. I will continue to give her my business until the day she decides to stop doing this business!????????
Thank you Sue to helping our family create beautiful, life changing memories ?? ???? Carmen
Sue was fantastic at planning an amazing two week vacation to Amsterdam, Belgium, Switzerland and Austria. She planned all our hotels, transportation and tours. Everything was exceptional and first class!!. We have always planned our own trips but never again. What a relief to have everything laid out and arranged. Thank you Sue!!!
Sue is amazing! ????Everything is already laid out and planned for you and your family. You just show up and have a fabulous time! She makes the process super easy and is always available if you need her during your vacation, which is a lifesaver??
Sue was exceptional.. we had a slight seating
issue & she was able to solve it while she was beginning to travel herself!
Sue was wonderful both in helping me plan my first trip to Japan which was also my first trip as a solo traveler. After patiently listening to my interests and preferences, she recommended Tauck tours. She also found me great pricing on my airfare, making the whole trip a success. But what’s really incredible about Sue, is that when I called her from Japan with a question, she was available to help in her always calm and kind manner. I’ve already told two fellow travelers about her…and they will hopefully turn into customers. I will definitely be calling Sue to help me plan my next trip as she is so knowledgeable and so nice! Thank you again Sue!
We had a terrific time! Special thanks to Bridget for her help organizing our trip and finding great excursions.
As far as Bridget and planning, FIVE STAR! She was awesome and answered all our questions. She was extremely helpful. As far as NCL, there were a few little items. The biggest, when we prepaid our gratuities, it was for morning and evening service. After we prepaid our tips, evening service was discontinued. It was impossible to find a deck chair on sea days, people go out and save seats very early in the morning, nothing was done after talking to guest services. Over all it was a good cruise and we would do another, just can't give it five stars.
Our cruise with Star Clippers didn’t disappoint. We like the small size, incredibly friendly staff and meeting passengers from all over the world. The excursions were well planned with great local guides.
I worked with Sue Pierce to put together a driving trip through the French countryside...something I could never have done by myself. She booked our air and auto and provided us with a number of lovely boutique hotel options that surpassed our expectations to make our trip incredibly memorable. I definitely recommend Sue and her team as a trusted vacation partner!- Andrea O.
The hotel room was perfect with an expansive view of the harbor and ocean. Most comfortable hotel bed I have ever slept in. Highly recommended to book with this travel company!
We have worked with Cruise Planners before on a couple different occasions. Their services and attention to detail is incredible! Nothing was left undone! I would highly recommend!
Sue –
We received the documents on Monday, and have reviewed them and everything looks good. Actually, it looks very good, and the four of us are really looking for to the trip.
In the past year, you have really gone above and beyond for us. From setting up the Yellowstone trip, then cancelling it, fighting with Delta to get our credit for new trips, and then dealing with the COVID impacts of the Greece trip. Just want to let you know how much we appreciate all of your efforts, and we are looking forward to working with you for more trips in the future.
Sue is the best Agent around. We have used her to assist us in our vacations yearly for the past 5 years and she has always gone above and beyond our expectations. If you want great timely service and attention to detail, Sue is the Agent we recommend.
Sue, was great she took care of all our arrangements which made the entire trip very enjoyable.
Celeste really helped us make our vacation special and provided extanding custumer service.
I had been wanting to go on a Rhine River cruise for some time, with a little extra stay planned for each end of the trip. However, I had no idea how to make all these arrangements on my own. Bridget listened to what I wanted, and delivered exactly the trip I had been dreaming about. She also coordinated the reservations for my travel companion, who lives in a different city, so that we could meet up and enjoy traveling together. I have just returned from a wonderful 10 days in Switzerland, Germany, France and the Netherlands with so many beautiful memories. Thanks to Bridget and Cruise Planners for making it all possible. - Cinda B.
I booked a 15 day Regent Cruise Atlantic crossing to Amsterdam for passage May 15, 2015. My agent, Celeste Keyser was wonderful in keeping me abreast of every detail she received from Regent leading up to departure. When one of our travel companions had a medical situation which resulted in cancelation, Celeste stepped up to assist with the insurance process for her. We were able to continue with our travel plans knowing that Celeste would monitor the process and assure that we were made whole if our cruise package was impacted by the cancelation.
Regent Navigator was a wonderful experience. I was apprehensive after reading a few negative reviews of this ship, but can say that everything on board was clean, quiet, relaxing and top-drawer fabulous! This is my 3rd booking with Celeste Keyser at Cruise Planners and I highly recommend her as a travel specialist!- Camille P.
Thank you for planning our cruise to Cabo!
You made it so easy for us and answered all my questions imediately.
We knew it would be a fun trip but there were so many extra surprises that we didn't expect.
Movies Under the Stars was a nice treat especially since the movies shown are still in theaters! The food was fantastic, the service was spectacular and getting on and off the ship was a breeze. I especially loved the saunas in the spa!
"My wife and I have always wanted to go on a dream vacation to Italy. We trusted in Sue Pierce to "hook us up." Needless to say, we had the best time of our life!!!
We stayed at Venice, Florence, and Rome. We experienced the most fascinating hotels, which
provided the best hospitality, food, and accommodations. The rooms were beautiful!
Sue scheduled the best tours for us which included
first class train rides and the most knowledgeable tour guides!
Sue knew exactly what tours to book! We are so thankful and would trust Sue to coordinate our next item on our bucket list!!! Thank you Sue!"
My wife and I decided we wanted to go to an all-inclusive resort somewhere tropical for our 10th anniversary. Since it would be our first international trip we decided to work with a travel agent to schedule everything. We couldn't have been happier after working with Sue. She found the perfect resort within our budget and handled all the booking and travel details for us. She was always available to answer any questions we had and even got us upgraded seats for our flights. If you are planning on going on a trip, definitely give Sue a call!- Ryan H.
Sue was fabulous to work with. She's very knowledgeable and helpful. She answered all our questions and made great suggestions on places to see and things to do. I would definitely recommend her and will use her in the future.- Melissa W.
Goal was to do some sight seeing on the way to taking my daughter to Florence Italy for a Study Abroad Program. Sue made wonderful suggestions and was extremely patient in working with me through every possible destination. She was also very good about making suggestions that are within my budget. I can't wait for my daughter and me to see Rome!- Linda S.
Sue was very professional and informative. She helped Mike and I find the perfect hotel to stay in when we are in Italy! She did a great job at answering all of our requests and always responded in a timely fashion. Thank you Sue, we will be using you again for our next adventure! - Emily D.
Very proactive and responsive. Identified several tours from which we selected a few. Found reasonably priced hotels. Easy to work with.- Sherrie W.
Hey Sue,
I just wanted you to know how fabulous of a time we had! Great job planning the whole entire expedition! You were right on with everything!
The card was so adorable. We will definitely use you again, hopefully very soon.
Dr. Lee & Tia Amason- Tia A.
I just returned from a trip to Greece and London. At Athens airport going through security i left a small bag with some important papers that included my itinerary that Sue took time putting together. It was so great to know Sue was always a text, e-mail away, responding quick and on target which made my trip amazing. Sue goes above and beyond, no matter where you are she is not far behind. Thank you!- Joanna G.
Sue is the travel agent extraordinaire! She knew how anxious we were traveling with little ones and how long it had been since our last excursion anywhere! She is super professional, efficient, very nice, and very supportive. She walked us through every step of the way and was there via phone/email when we had questions while we were in Maui. I highly recommend Sue for all of your travel needs and more. We plan on going through Sue from here on out. She is fabulous! - Carmen P.
Sue Pierce went the extra mile for us, both before and during our UK vacation. She knew the cities very well and researched locations carefully; when a hotel posted that it was undergoing renovation, she proactively switched us to a better one so we wouldn't have to deal with the construction. Every hotel she gave us was within easy reach of good food, public transport, and destinations. And, when a back injury and a railway strike was about to make us miss our transfer to the next town, she responded to us quickly with a workaround that got us a hired van AND told us how to get a refund on the train tickets we couldn't use! First-class, personal attention all the way. - Kent W.
Sue was an absolute pleasure to work with! We wanted a very particular kind of honeymoon, and she helped us find exactly what we wanted - at a price we could afford. I'd recommend Sue for any traveler! - Michelle C.
Thank you for all you did to ensure our family cruise was perfect. The "Getaway", from the Norwegian Cruise Line, was a fairly new ship, (2 years), very clean and well maintained. We all agreed that everybody that we came in contact with was sporting a smile and happy to assist us in anyway possible. The rooms were clean and serviced each day with clean sheets and towels, and of course a "towel animal" each night on our beds! The food was very fresh, bountiful, varied and always good. We especially loved the "open dining" option. This allowed us to eat at anytime, at one of the many restaurant options available to everybody. The entertainment was delightful and seemed to be continual, and perhaps most importantly the entertainment was enjoyable for all ages.
We all agreed as we were departing the cruise after 7 great days, we would certainly cruise again with NCL!
- Kim M.
Prompt responses to my sometimes confusing messages.- Jeff O.
Sue was great. Always answered quickly and very nice.- Carol K.
Very timely responses, tons of options and very flexible with us when we changed our minds a lot! Great Service!- Rebecca M.
Sue arranged our very first cruise. She knew all about what to see in Alaska and what excursions were the best. We will certainly use Sue again for our next trip to Europe! Stephanie
From beginning to end my experiences planning my vacation using Vacation Adventures Unlimited was AWESOME! Sue took care of it all! The personal attention I received was amazing. I know for sure who to go to when I plan/schedule my next vacation. I would HIGHLY recommend Vacation Adventures Unlimited to any and everyone who's looking for a vacation planner....- Angela M.

Sue Pierce was very responsive to emails and phone calls, (that is rare these days!) she did most of the paperwork for us, helped us with hotel recommendations and shore excursions. It was our first cruise and it was perfect as well as the time in Vancouver afterwards. Sue is a dream to work with and I will definitely use her services again in the future! 5 Star Service :-) A true professional! Very knowledgeable too!
Pam
Thank you Sue Pierce for taking such great care of of us. Our Golf Cruise was AMAZING!! Cathy and Bobby- Cathy R.
My bride of 50 years and me with our family (daughter, son-in-law, and two grandchildren – 11 & 7) just completed a Disney Cruise to Alaska for our 50th anniversary. It was absolutely the perfect way to celebrate and be taken care of by Sue Pierce and the Disney folks.
Sue made all the arrangements and planning painless. She put everything together and made sure we ready to go and there would be no hitches. I can tell you there were none, thanks to Sue’s exceptional skills at planning and executing.
As always, the Disney Team was highly organized and committed to making the young people as well as the adults have a great time. The entire crew was exceptional, the entertainment could not have been better, and there was always something for all ages to enjoy.
Anyone considering a cruise with children should consider Disney and you will make a mistake if do not let Sue Pierce put it together for you.

Sue Pierce Cruise Planners…
Congratulations YOU have been named the most favorited Travel Adviser for the International Women’s Festivals! So happy that I choose you to work on my personal travel to China this year. I traveled with others who did not have such smooth sailing! Both Barbara and I marveled every day how great our planning had been, how wonderful and prompt out guides were. When we stopped at a train station, and the door opened, our guide was literally standing two feet away from the open door on the Platform. The Shanghai train station can be daunting.. our guide located baggage carts and people and walked us through security right onto our seats. Each tour was wonderful, especially the Tea Ceremonies carried out with thousands of years of traditions. The English of our Chinese guides was perfect and their personalities were great. I loved my airline seats too.
I would recommend you without hesitation to anyone who wants great service and has complex needs. THANK you again! Patty D
