She was there for us when we needed help.
Reviewed By Cathe - Cohasset, MN | Traveled to Seattle ~ Washington ~ USA
Laurie is a travel agent that truly excels at her job. We went on a family vacation, all of us meeting in Seattle to get on an Alaskan cruise. Unfortunately, my husband and I were caught in the Crowdstrike shutdown which caused our flight out of Minneapolis to Seattle to be cancelled making us unable to get to Seattle to board the ship. (Thankfully, our children and grandchildren made it onto the ship). I called Laurie, and she was right on it trying to make this work for us to join our family. She was on the phone for hours talking to Royal Caribbean finding out what could be done so that we could board the ship at a different port. There were multiple complications, but she worked through each one successfully finding a way while keeping us informed each step of the way. She booked us airline tickets and lodging at the new port and followed up with us to make sure we boarded. I don't know how I would have been able to navigate through all these difficulties without her help.
Laurie Passard responded
