We booked a all-inclusive vacation with Lori to go to Xcaret Arte in Mexico. She took the stress out of booking airlines rooms and explained step by step the process to go through the Cancun airport. I will not travel out of the United States without her help again. All the information was well organized easy to find and easy to follow. I couldn't be more happier with how our trip turned out.- Koren K.

Head a great time on this cruise! Only thing lacking was Wi-Fi connection as well as PA system which was very hard to hear in crowded places!
Otherwise all else was excellent and very well organized! The crew was wonderful and kudos to all of them!
Thank you also to our travel agent Lori Visser who booked our cruise and made sure we did everything on time!
Vesna Nikolic- Vesna N.
Lori set us (and our friends) up with a great cruise to the Mexican Riviera. The ship was wonderful, lodging and food excellent and the entertainment was very fun. We got enough of a taste of our ports (Cabo, Mazatlan and Puerto Vallarta) to know we'd like to spend more time there!- Margaret R.
Lori Visser did a fantastic job with our cruise and everything went smoothly. Thanks Lori!- Leonard C.
oh my goodness, I have nothing but positives to say about how helpful Lori was in our vacation! I have never used a travel planner before and honestly didn't see the point in them, however my thoughts have completely changed after this trip. There were so many little things that she just took care of or was a resource for us that made things go so much simpler and took away so much stress so I could just relax and enjoy. Her knowledge helped us get the perfect room for what we needed on the ship and she was so responsive when I had last minute questions and concerns. I will absolutely recomend her and use her services again!- Amy T.
Lori is a great travel agent and made sure all of our plans were in place. We had a wonderful trip.
I have worked with Lori Visser for many years on several trips. Including an all-inclusive in Mexico for several families, a trip to Italy, an upcoming trip to Croatia, airfares, and several trip insurance policies. I have recommended Lori to many people. She is both creative, and detail-oriented.
Lori helped me plan a wonderful Alaska cruise. She really listened to my needs and helped me to find the cruise that was just right for me. Her follow up and communication was excellent at all times. Thanks, Lori!- Deborah T.
This is the third cruise we have booked through Cruise Planners and the second Viking cruise. Lori's knowledge of the ship and the countries we have visited has made our trips comfortable and enjoyable. The locations of our rooms Lori selects on Viking have been perfect. Her recommendations for places to eat are so helpful and we had so much fun learning about the cities we have visited. Thank you Lori - The Bucharest to Budapest Viking cruise was my favorite! Danielle- Danielle P.
It was beyond my expectation, we were free of any anxiety because everything was done for us.we really enjoyed ourselves!!- Janice M.

Best trip ever to Alaska. Everything Lori planned was perfect from our hotels to the tours. She took a lot of stress off the planning process. Would highly recommend.
My friend and I worked with Lori Visser to plan our Greece and Turkey cruise from May 13 to May 25, 2024. Lori kept us updated on the changes, and all transfers went smoothly. We cruised on Celebrity Infinity and enjoyed the ship and the excellent staff. Speaking of "wonderful, " that is the word to describe the culinary offerings.- Joyce N.
Lori Visser is a wonderful travel agent. Exceedingly knowledgeable. She researches everything very carefully always looking out for our best interests including finding all cost savings possible. Very responsive to questions and happy to research for us. Always keeps us up to date with the latest information and any changes on the part of the cruise line. She always follows-up letting us know of upcoming due dates for things like visas, dinner reservation start times, excursion booking availability, and payment due dates, she never misses anything.
Lori was amazing, answering my continual questions, gathering ideas, giving advice, etc... We ended up with an amazing AI vacation, and she's already planning our next one!
Lori Visser is a wonderful agent to work with as she communicates with us regularly regarding upcoming deals and promotions. Her customer service and attention to detail are tops! She always returns messages in a timely fashion. We have recommended her to many friends and family for various trips.
My hubby and I took our first cruise and we went to Hawaii and loved every minute! We had so many questions and had no idea what to expect, but Lori Visser helped to make our trip as enjoyable as possible. We WILL cruise again thanks in part to Cruise Planners.- Margaret R.
Lori made our trip planning easy and was available for questions/issues with travel during our vacation. Great trip
Lori Visser has done a great job on the cruises we have booked through her. We've had great staterooms each time and found add-ons that we were aware of.
Lori put together an amazing itinerary for us.
Lori did a fantastic job helping us plan our cruise in Alaska. She is very knowledgeable about Alaska, the ship we chose (Princess Majestic) and very spontaneous when asking questions. Alaska was beautiful and we will use Lori for our future travels!- Christine B.
Great recommendations
Lori has helped us on all our cruises. She has helped us on travel insurance, transfers, and upgrades. Lori is always there to make our cruises enjoyable.
Our experience at Oceans El Faro was fantastic. We were there for a High School Senior Spring break. The staff was great, they did appreciate that my husband is fluent in Spanish but where very patient with be who does speak any. The food was always good. We did the Privilege package which was worth every penny especially for a busy week like Spring Break. With Privilege we had a bigger room, close to the beach and Privilege restaurant. Our Bulter checked in everyday, made all of our dinner reservations, sometimes two different ones if the kids wanted something different. We took advantage of the spa discounts, the spa hydro therapy, privilege restaurant and the privilege beach areas. All part of that package. Not to mention a little better alcohol choice.
The beach is rocky but it didn’t stop some from going in. The waves were big so we walked to the lagoon that is next to the Adult only section of the resort.
We felt safe at the resort as well as the kids did too.
Lori was fantastic to work with. She provide timely responses and important information updates to make our travel experience seamless :)
Lori has planned 2 viking cruises for us and she has us booked for a Norwegian Cruise in Sept 23. She has done a fantastic job of answering questions, keeping us informed, handling changes, and much more. We would highly recommend Lori.
We had an amazing group vacation with lots of things to celebrate in our group. Everything was wonderful and the trip was full of amazing memories.
I booked a family Disney Cruise and had a great experience
Lori was wonderful as always
Lori planned our trip like she had done the entire trip herself. Very well planned!
Lori did a great job researching tours, gave us options and it was an easy decision, she booked the tickets for us and it worked great.
Lori was great! She was responsive, always quick to answer, even when we were overseas and had questions. It made the trip easier on us. Thank you so much!
Yes, Lori Visser was fantastic in scheduling a girls trip to the Bahamas in February.
Lori was very quick to give me hotel recommendations and to reserve a spot for me within 2 weeks of going down to florida. Thanks Lori!
My travel agent was great took care of everything. I could just enjoy the adventure.
Lori was fantastic, and with all of the COVID requirements in place, she was right on top of keeping us up to date . Everything was perfect.
The resort recommended was excellent. Flights and transfers set up were also streamlined. Highly recommended.
I couldn't imagine taking trips out of the country without Lori's help. Not only did she plan everything down to the smallest detail, but she was also accessible when I had questions. Lori is the consummate professional and I love working with her.
Lori Visser has helped book several vacations for me.
Have never booked before let alone taken a vacation before since I was a child, nothing like this before
Lori does a great job of planning the trip and keeping us updated on all factors, especially with things continually changing due to Covid. I would & have recommended her to several friends.
We have traveled to Montreal, Peru and in 2020 to Morocco with Lori leading a travel/tour team of professionals. The Montreal and Peru trips were great, Lori connecting us up with good flights and top-notch tour companies at good prices. Our trip to Morocco in March, 2020 ... when the world shut down due to COVID ... proved she is worth her weight in small, unmarked bills of whatever country currency you are traveling in. As the country shut down, and we waited for government evacuation, she was in daily contact with any updates she could find. When we were finally evacuated to London and Chicago, she had inter-U.S. flights waiting for us. In the months after, she constantly advocated for our promised commercial flight refund ... until we finally received it nearly a year later. Nothing but good thing to say.- Kenneth N.
Lori was very responsive and so patient! Nothing but wonderful things to say about our experience with her!- Lindsey S.
Lori served us with dedication, thoroughness and extreme responsiveness, even though some of the logistics went into the evening and weekend hours. Could not be more satisfied with how she helped us find just the right fit for our family of four adults.- Nancy J.

Extremely happy with the communication from Lori, documentation and her patience working with our group. I will always recommend her!- Catherine C.

Lori was very helpful in answering any questions I had and pointing me in the right direction to the best cruise vacation.

Lori is experienced and able to help with anything you are looking for!

Lori Visser. She did an outstanding job arranging everything.- John S.
Lauren and I had taken the private concierge lobby (with cold champagne) for granted, as well as the private pool right outside our door. Also, we had no idea that reservations for the private restaurants were hard to attain since we sat down and booked all our nights right away on the first day.
When the chilled champagne arrived at our door, we began to suspect that maybe we were a little more than 'special' than the average folk.
Thus, I knew that I had you to thank. I never saw anyone else's rooms to compare, but ours was beautiful. We had a completely stress-free vacation and did truly appreciate being treated as royalty.
I don't know if this type of vacation planning is something you do enjoy (resorts vs. cruises), but I have been telling everyone to book with you instead of doing it online. I know that I never would have gotten the same things you found for us, so thank you, thank you, thank you. - Janet V.
Compared to our competitors, is our service quality better, worse, or about the same?

"Having just returned from our 7 day VanAndel Family Alaskan Cruise, I want to thank Lori on behalf of my entire family. 62 of us had a stress-free vacation where we enjoyed onboard credits (provided by Lori), as well as soda and beverage cards.
For my immediate family, Lori also provided our flights and hotels pre and post cruise. Her advice, her service, and her availability to answer endless questions, gave us all peace of mind.
Beyond the larger cruise picture, there were many little things that spoke of her care and gratitude to our family. Our 'welcome' cocktail party was a terrific pre-cursor of great times to come. Our mid-week luncheon in the Pinnacle Grill (courtesy of Lori) was fantastic. And, our final coffee allowed us to reminisce about the great week we shared.
Further, her knowledge of how this boat would travel had us 'front and center' on every good thing that the land had to offer. Remember, there are two sides to every boat. Clearly, booking us on the Starboard side was the work of a caring agent.
I am so thankful for all the work Lori did. I heard her name several times, each attached to a warm smile. My hope is that my family will continue to utilize her services for their individual needs. I know that I certainly will. You can feel confident in referring her to your family and friends! Thank you, Lori, for all you did to make our time memorable."- Janet V.
