Caribbean, Bermuda & Alaska Cruise Expert

Caribbean, Bermuda &  Alaska Cruise Expert
Ocean cruising is one of the most relaxing and rewarding ways to see the world, and it’s easy to understand why. There’s something special about waking up to the sound of waves and stepping out the balcony with the beautiful ocean views. Each morning guests arriving in a new destination — and one...Read More ▶

Universal Orlando Specialist

Universal Orlando Specialist
Universal Orlando is one of my favorite places to help families experience the magic of travel. What I love most is that no two visits are ever exactly the same. You can ride alongside Harry Potter on a broomstick, race like you are Mario, get soaked on an aqua coaster, all in one trip. Universal...Read More ▶

This was our 30th anniversary cruise
Reviewed By Ron&ChristyL - Imperial, Pa. | Traveled to Nassau ~ Bahamas ~ Caribbean
Lindsey was wonderful with us, She answered our texts, calls and emails. She answered our questions no matter how if we think they are important or not important. We mentioned to Linsey that we wanted to be on a cruise ship on January 29th. She made everything happen for us. My husband and I loved working with her.

Most Memorable trip!
Reviewed By RC - Kennesaw, GA | Traveled to Caribbean
We have just returned from a family cruise vacation on Royal Caribbean planned by Lindsey at Markwood Magic. The planning was so simple and stress-free. She was available to answer questions anytime we had them (even the smallest of requests or questions). Our kids are ages 11 and 7 and the cruise was a great option for us. My favorite part of the trip was seeing the kids try new foods, experience fine dining, boogie boarding and so much more. It was a very memorable vacation! I highly recommend Lindsey Markwood Magic for any travel plans. She is very detailed and thorough with tip sheets and bookings. 5 stars from me.
Lindsey Markwood responded
"Thank you so much! I had so much fun planning your epic cruise. My heart is happy that you had such a great time!"

She’s your answer to family vacations
Reviewed By Sherisse - New York, NY | Traveled to Dominican Republic ~ Caribbean
I just can’t speak highly enough about Lindsey honestly at this point, she just feels like a member of our family.

We originally booked at Club Med Punta Cana with her and got a last minute email saying it was cancelled because of the hurricane. Lindsey was on top of it. She booked us in Miches in the most wonderful room for our family.

The baby and kids club was sensational for my little ones and we couldn’t believe we finally had found a family vacation where we actually had a vacation. Time with my husband during the day and family time in the morning and afternoons.

No matter what little things we needed assistance with, Lindsey was on it. She took all the stress out of our trips. She goes beyond what I expected and for that, she’s our go to.

As soon as we got back, we booked again through her for yet another perfect vacation.

I feel like she’s an exhausted families answer to taking vacations. I can’t recommend her enough! She’s the BEST!!!
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

    Best Time to Visit European Christmas Markets

    The Christmas Markets in Europe open as early as the first week in November. The best time to visit the markets is the two weeks following Thanksgiving. So why is this the best time to see the Christmas Markets? By then all the markets should be open. If you go earlier in November not all of them may be open yet. Vienna and Cologne are a ...
