Tips From Our Advisors

  • Short sailings from Florida to the Bahamas, and from California to Ensenada, are some of the easiest to fit into a long weekend.
  • Drive to the port if you can. It saves airfare and the risk of a delayed flight.
  • Short cruises are a good way to try a cruise line before booking a longer trip with them.
  • Port fees and taxes are a larger share of the price on short sailings. The fares shown already include them.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Absolutely AMAZING from start to finish! We couldn’t have asked for a better travel agent to plan our Celebrity Ascent cruise. From the initial planning to all the little details along the way, everything was handled effortlessly. Stefanie Carbone made the entire experience so easy and completely stress-free. What really stood out was how they went above and beyond to secure VIP upgrades and special perks that made our vacation even more memorable. Her attention to detail, personal touch, responsiveness, and dedication to making sure everything was perfect truly exceeded our expectations. It’s rare to find someone who genuinely cares about their clients and treats your vacation as if it were their own. We felt taken care of every step of the way! We wouldn’t book another vacation without Stefanie Carbone. If you’re looking for a travel agent who delivers exceptional service and goes the extra mile, look no further. HIGHLY, HIGHLY RECOMMEND! 🌟

This company is the best! Our agent Stefanie Carbone, is always on top of every detail. She finds out what we like and don’t like and pairs us with a cruise that is fit for our family. She also makes sure it doesn’t break the bank and sometimes comes up with a little surprise. She is very thoughtful and caring and goes the extra mile to make our cruising top notch!
