My Travel Specialties

Royal Caribbean Expert

Royal Caribbean Expert
Royal Caribbean does an amazing job catering to both families and adult only trips.  I cruise with Royal myself at least once a year.  I have been on both the smaller ships and the larger ships.  Royal can be difficult to book on your own, especially with families larger than 4.  This is the crui...Read More ▶

Lauren Rocks!
Reviewed By John S - Bettendorf, IA | Traveled to Universal Orlando ~ Florida ~ USA
Lauren was super helpful. She just gets it. We had a brief conversation regarding a family vacation I was planning. She quickly came back with itinerary options that perfectly fit our family. When I was indecisive about an option, she laid out the pros and cons and helped me to decide which one was best for my family.
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

Amazing adventures on land and sea
Reviewed By Kristen - Iowa | Traveled to Europe
Lauren has been our trusted travel agent for many years. She has helped us plan adventures on land and sea including Disney World, Caribbean cruises and a Mediterranean cruise. Most recently she helped us plan a multi-generational trip to Italy, Greece & Croatia. She helped secure cruise ship staterooms, line up transportation to and from the port city and connected us with excellent guides for our pre-cruise days. She is always happy to help me research, quote and book adventures regardless of our party size. With her help we will embark on a dream Adventures by Disney trip later this year!
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

Excellent Personal Service
Reviewed By Cheryl K - Rio Rancho, New Mexico | Traveled to Trans-Atlantic ~ Other
Lauren always keeps us informed on any trip changes. She is very easy to work with and always accessible. A few years ago we were on a cruise from Southampton and on the 2nd day there was a medical emergency onboard. Lauren texted to make sure we were ok. That kind of personal service is rare.
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

    Norwegian Fjords and Iceland Cruise

The kids ages ranged from 7 to 14.  We explored London for 4 days prior to start of the cruise.  We had an amazing time seeing the Tower of London, the changing of the guard, and Hampton Court.  Needing to fit in some Harry Potter...
